My Elena/Ibuki combo brought me to a sad 20 games below .500 situation in 3S ranked. just switched to Ken for the last 12 games or so, and narrowed that margin a fair amount. I might swallow my unique and mediocre character pride and pick up Ken, at least until I'm above 50%! it's tragic to see your profile list you at like 80-100. and god damn, matches that are ridiculous tough with Ibuki are cake for Ken.
alternatively I could just play Chun. I've played her a bit in custom matches and haven't dropped a round with her yet. this is the night I decide if honor is worth more than not having terrible numbers by my name! I'll play Chun and Ken all the time and I'm sure everyone playing ranked will love me. if I could pull off a competent Genei Jin I could probably mix Yun in there too! It would feel marvelous.
In SFIV:AE at least. Is he the best? No. Is he even very good? No, not really. He's actually kind of meh, but people give props where props are due when you play as him and win, and winning with Dudley is something I've gotten quite good at.

yeah I like Ken. I stayed away from him when I went online because everyone plays the shotos, but I played him a lot before that. running into the dozens of other Kens online is kind of weird though, because most of them are pretty bad but they can all do this one neat combo that 3SOE teaches you to do in the trials. so you'll run into guys who are sucking it up all match then suddenly hit you with this long super combo and it's so bizarre.
