Street Fighter 6's Ken Is A Washed-Up Crypto Bro
A four-part Street Fighter 6 prequel comic has given some background on why Ken Master is in such rough shape - turns out that he's a washed-up crypto bro, as well as being a pretty crappy dad to his son, Mel.
One of the most exciting things about Street Fighter 6 is that it finally advances the series canon and moves it past Street Fighter 3, giving us a look at how fan-favourite characters like Ryu, Chun-Li, and Guile are getting on, alongside introducing new characters like Luke and Jamie. Although most of the cast have had big glow-ups, there's one outlier - Ken Master isn't doing too good, you guys.

Ever since Ken was first revealed, his long hair, stubble, and slightly-less-positive attitude have made it clear that he's not the same sunny character we've all come to know. Although fans theorised that Ken was a sad divorced dad, Capcom has explained that his rough state is because he's been accused of orchestrating a "criminal plot" that forced him to abandon his family.
That will likely have you feeling sorry for Ken, especially considering he's a long-time fan-favourite character, but a recent four-part prequel comic might erase that - as reported by Kotaku, the comic reveals that, before the events of Street Fighter 6, Ken was a crypto bro and an absent father to his son, Mel.
The comic, titled "Days of Eclipse: #1 Indication", shows Ken, who is at this point a multimillionaire, trying to set up a live-streamed tournament in Nayshall, a fictional nation that's in Asia. It's then explained that Ken's tournament is going to use "omnidirectional AI drones" to record the fights and try to bring attention to Nayshall and try to gain it some independence.
