Description
Ken performs a series of multi-hitting Shoryukens that sometimes light the opponent on fire.
Tactics
In all games, the move generally works well as a combo ender. However, it has a long recovery time as a result of the fierce Shoryuken at the end, and is easily punished if whiffed or blocked.
