Is ken low tier

[Morning Orpheian]

And ryu i feel they only have 3 atacks, and other characters have much better moves, does someonenhave a tier list?

Guile has only two specials and he’s among the best characters in the game. I don’t see why you have a problem playing Ken when he’s perfectly fine.

Ceroblast plays Ken at the highest ranks.

Punk labels him at, at least B.

You want easy wins online, play Bison or Honda. Online Gods. Plan to enter a real tournament? Watch what literally everyone is playing.

Ken is not a low tier, but he is also not a top tier. He would be halfway down among the tier B characters. The Tier List only assesses the competitive viability of the characters in high level championships. The Tier List will only have great influence if you are participating in competitions with high level players.

For online play, the tier list will not indicate whether you will have more wins online. For example, Akuma, which is ranked S on the tier list, in online game statistics is one of the biggest losers. Although Akuma is very good, the low level of the players does not allow him to use it with all his skills.

Ken is a character that can be used smoothly. He benefits from lag against his opponents. In addition, it has a linear game that is easily assimilated by casual players. If it were not feasible, there would be no Ken players from Grand Master upwards.

People are playing characters they like, characters that are most suitable for them. You don't like shotos - go ahead, play grapplers or whatever.

Tier lists don't matter. Both Ryu and Ken are great characters

Ken is alright, tier lists don't really matter until you reach a certain skill level.
A top tier character is good because it has very good tools and very good matchups, but does that really matter when the player who uses them just goes full monkey, has a predictable gameplan or mashes his favourite unsafe move everytime?

Ken prety OP sometimes. Somewhere in the middle for sure.

Im in Gold and I don't really fight Guile players often, there's a lot of Akumas tho. Kinda glad about that, I really suck in the Guile matchup lol.

Lab that crouching ♥♥♥♥♥♥, it's normal to feel frustrated when you play versus him but you'll improve in the matchup if you put in the effort.

Seems to be a recurring thread...either Kens low tier or only spastic scrubs with lag switches play him. If your not Master Rank I'm sorry but you lost because of your own lack of skill/and or knowledge. Here's 3 examples of Ken playing high level(one winners quarter finals Capcom Cup 2018) Sure Ken lost 2 of these sets but I would argue both losses were won by the better PLAYER - Daigo and Bonchan

If you dont bother to learn frame data than you cant speak on balance in the game, at all.

A lot of people, me included, fall for fake ♥♥♥♥ because we dont know the frame data.

I see this mentioned a lot, what do people mean when they are talking about learning frame data?
