2. Ken
Beating his biggest rival by one place on this list is Ken Masters. After stepping out of the shadows of Ryu in Street Fighter II, Ken has fast become many gamers favourite character. With slightly more speed in recent games, allowing for better closer combat and the ever recognisable and reliable Hadouken, Ken is great both for beginner and seasoned pro. Where as Ryu is all about training and determination, Ken is more about having fun, which ultimately is what gaming should be about. When trying to split Ken and Ryu, I asked myself who would I rather go for a pint with? and when it comes to that Ken wins hands down. I mean Ryus not exactly gonna get a round in.
