Through many years of training along with Ryu, Ken acquires knowledge and experience about the art of fighting. These two warriors, though so different, have similar techniques. Ken, being a more emotional fighter, seeks a chance to meet up with his long time rival, Ryu. He bases all of his fights on that hope. Ken has a short fight with Hawk, an even shorter fight/loss with Bison, an all-offense battle with Ryu, and the final battle with Ryu against Bison.
