"I've reached my boiling point!"
—Ken, upon activating his V-Trigger

The Heat Rush (ヒートラッシュ Hiito Rasshu?) is Ken's first V-Trigger in Street Fighter V. [1]

Input
Street Fighter V Arcade-Button-HPunch+Arcade-Button-HKick

Description[]

Ken channels flames through his entire body for a short period of time, which powers up his special attacks by increasing their number of hits and improving their trajectory, allowing him to perform even more damaging combos. His regular Hadoken changes into the Shakunetsu Hadoken, which causes a knockdown on hit. The Tatsumaki Senpukyaku gains flaming effects, giving it enhanced properties as noted previously. The Shoryuken also gains flaming effects. Besides increasing the number of hits, this results in Ken performing the moves faster, juggling the opponent, which allows him to link multiple Shoryuken to deal a ton of damage to the opponent.

Tactics[]

When activated, Heat Rush allows Ken to run towards his foe swiftly. This can set up combos where an opponent might otherwise be too far to connect.
