Ken

• pop dat doge
• 5B, spear pull, and 5C are all chest, 5C is important cause the chest attribute will make your Sweep whiff
• 5AA>5AAA on the dog so you get to gravedigger Ken from half screen
• any blockstring into 2C>hop j.2B has a gap but if Ken tries to DP it'll be blocked, can abuse this for axe level gain
• OS punish his DP with 5B>backdash on the dog followed by 2B punish

These are the basic notes, in addition you should note the following:

• j.B becomes a very strong button if the Ken plays too passively or relies too heavy on the dog.
• if Ken does the dog wheel in neutral to cover your air approach (214C), you can 2B it and jump cancel to keep yourself safe
• Sweep in general is a pretty strong button vs Ken in his ground approach or even a non-aggressive air approach because of how difficult a button it is to whiff punish for him. Very strong to also catch the dog if Ken gets reliant on 2C.
