In June, the next installment of Street Fighter will be released for the global market. With the new title, the devs at Capcom have taken a fresh new approach to the classic fighting game franchise. The trailers and teasers so far have showcased a street fighter game that is filled with style and personality. 

From brand new faces in the roster to a complete visual revamp of some of the older characters, SF 6 is all set to give the franchise a new identity. The revamped classic characters include the iconic Cammy, Ryu, Luke, and more. But among them, the new look of the character that has attracted the most attention is Ken. 

Why does Ken look so lost in Street fighter 6?

The story of the street fighter mainly revolved around Cammy, M. Bison, Chun-Li, Ryu, and Ken. Both Ryu and Ken are best friends and brothers and also each other’s eternal rivals. While they share similar roots as both of them trained under the same master Gouken, both of them have drastically different personalities.

While Ryu is a calm and mature monk-like warrior who wants to become the greatest fighter he can be, Ken is the Fiery, arrogant mirror of him. He comes from a very wealthy background. All his life Ken has chased excitement and fun, but during the events of Street fighter 6, Ken doesn’t have the luxury of living that life anymore.

According to the description on the official website for SF6, Ken had a very tough time. “Former US National Fighting Champ, and ex-VP of the Masters Foundation. Accusations of orchestrating a criminal plot have forced Ken to abandon his family and business and go into hiding.” But this is not it. 

Some leak shaves even suggested that being ‘fed up’ by his obsession with Ryu and frequently being absent for most of her life, Ken’s beloved wife had finally decided to leave him for good. Also, there hasn’t been any official confirmation about the gang that falsely framed him, but the community believes it could be the notorious Mad Gear Gang. 

That is why, constantly running from the authorities and witnessing the harshness of life, our fiery hero Ken had other choice but to accept anonymity. He changed his icon red Ki with a much more discreet plain brown jacket and his facial hair and unkept hair show signs of uncleanliness.
