Oh. Hey. Ummmmmm... Ken? Is that you, buddy? Everything okay?
Ken Masters, one of the O.G. street fighters, sports an entirely new look in Street Fighter V, as a new trailer reveals. Gone is his trademark sleeveless red gi and mop of golden hair. Ken now sports a red-trimmed black top with red pants. Then there's that silkier, smoother mane. You've got to wonder what kind of conditioner Ken is using to give it that "golden banana bundle" vibe.
Fighting game enthusiasts can get a sense of New Ken's combat acumen in this PlayStation Blog post. His V-Skill -- a new feature in Street Fighter V that feeds into character-specific specials -- is a quick step forward that can be chained with other attacks.
Using the V-Skill repeatedly fills up Ken's V-Gauge, which allows him to activate his V-Trigger, powering Ken up so he sets his enemies on fire when he punches them. V. cool.
Check out New Ken in action in the trailer up top. Pay extra attention at around the 1:09 mark, as it looks like Capcom is teasing the next fighter reveal. E. Honda, maybe? What say you, Internet?
