Nope, only bad people play Ken.

" So I've been maining Abel for most of the time I've had Street Fighter IV, but recently went into the Trials and did a bunch of the character's trials, including Ken.  And Ken is awesome. How he plays is just really fun to me.  I mained Ken all the time when I played SSFII, but once I got IV, I didn't want to be just another Ken.  And I kind of suck at the game, so I really am "just another Ken."   But my question is, is there anyway I can play ken and not be a bad person?   Thanks. "

Having never played Street Fighter, I say yes. Because they put him in the game for people to play, so play him if you want to.

Follow your heart, bro.

Stang can't so you can't.

No.

Well, Stang plays Ken, and he is a bad person, but that really doesn't have anything to do with him maining ken.
 
But why would you want to main him in the first place? Main someone with class, like Dan (or, if you are crazy: Gen)!

You should probably just kill yourself.

Why exactly does it matter if you're just another Ken. You shouldn't be letting random videogame nerds affect how you enjoy a game.

I support you.
 
Just remember to keep the pressure on. People who play Ken like Ryu pt. 2 are the real evil-doers.

You should main Dhalsim. He is just like Ken, except with longer appendages, slower, and Indian; but he has fire, so he is just like Ken. 

Hey look, another dumb Ken thread. There is nothing wrong with Ken, the only people who bitch about him are the people who are horrible at the game. I get great joy beating the shit out of all the haters out there. Pick Ken, get good, smash scrubs, then laugh at them. It is what I do.

It's like when students inquire about potential plagiarism in their reports.  If you have to ask... then you probably shouldn't do it.

Ken's not that bad, I actually like playing as him.
I'd ask Stang for advice though, that guy makes me cry.

Newp. Not possible.

Yes. Ken is fine, he's actually pretty fun to play.

Dude, Ken and Ryu are totally lame. You can do better.

unless you can prove that you are a walking damdai/ed ma, then no you can't. if you play ken you better be able to school everybody. AMBIGUOUS CROSSUPS!

No, everybody knows Ryu is the man to go if you wanna go pro.

Ryu's lame. Ken's cool. Shoryucan.

LOL damdai. Yeah. "

" @lordofultima: That is just my opinion. I find nothing special about Damdai. Chaos is on another level. Can I beat Damdai? I dunno, personally I think so. And tell him about my habit of adding an extra button during my combos, maybe that is what he needs to learn to play from the player one side. Want to beat Damdai? Keep him on the left side of the screen. Done. "

He seems to do pretty well in tournaments, to me that just seems as silly as Ani calling out Javits. "

Do what comes natural. If Ken's your man... then take him.

" @lordofultima: You know all the big time players, any way you can set up a match? I am confident in my ability, I may not beat him but I will put up a pretty damn good fight. "

oh my... i brought up one dudes name and started a whole bunch of shit. curses.

I feel the same way when I choose Sagat, he has always been my main, but everyone I play against always bitches about how Sagat is overpowered. I say, "fuck the haters, play who you want to play."

" Follow your heart, bro. "

" oh my... i brought up one dudes name and started a whole bunch of shit. curses. "

" @Scooper: Don't agree at all. The game is not fundamentally different online and off, especially if you play online as if it were offline. Blah blah lag made me lose blah blah, I agree with the lag arguments. But, if I beat somebody 10-2 online with minimal lag, I highly doubt they will beat me offline. Is Flushes going to own me for free offline? FUCK NO! Are their skills magically going to improve and mine go down the tube if we played offline? Nope.   The people I lose to (most of them) online will beat me offline, it is that simple. Kreymore, Sabin, Chris Hu, Mr SNK...I have lost to all of them online. Can I lame out and say offline I would beat them? I guess I could, but we all know I would be full of shit. "

Ken is the most fun out of all the shotos to fight.  Not much people actually "Main" him anyways. Most of the people online are just picking him because he's easy or they haven't figured out the Ryu is just better.  
 
Go for it.

You'll have 10 more reasons not to play Ken in a little bit, if you keep at it yeah man. Lame.
