Ken in Street Fighter 6 is not divorced, but he is in pretty bad shape

Street Fighter fans have been pretty worried about ol’ Ken Masters for the past few months. After artwork of Ken’s new look in Street Fighter 6 leaked, in tandem with some grim personal news for Ryu’s longtime rival, things were looking pretty bleak. However, the good news? Ken is alive and well, despite all speculations. NotHe was divorced in 2005 from his beloved wife Street Fighter 6.

But the real story that explains Ken’s downtrodden new look isn’t that much better.

The entire of June was when the UK’s population began to reclaim their land. Street Fighter 6’s roster leaked in the form of character art, Ken was revealed to be looking scruffy, grungy, and generally pretty depressed. The look was quite different from Ken’s bright, well put together appearance in Street Fighter 5 Street Fighter 3, the previous two games in Street Fighter’s topsy-turvy timeline. Ken radiated real “divorced dad” energy in SF6This impression was exacerbated by an allegedly leaked storyline that Eliza had told Ken to open the doors and serve him with papers for divorce.

That is (seemingly incorrect) story leak, Eliza kicked Ken out and took the kids because of Ken’s obsession with street fighting, despite his comfortable station in life as the heir of a multibillion dollar hotel fortune. The real story, revealed as part of Ken’s new bio on the Street Fighter website, is quite different. Capcom explains that Ken is now the “ex-VP of the Masters Foundation” and that “accusations of orchestrating a criminal plot have forced Ken to abandon his family and business and go into hiding.”

Things are not easy for Ken and Eliza, and Mel’s father, who is currently on the run, and living in the streets. But who’s behind Ken being framed for a crime he didn’t commit? Shadaloo? What is The Mad Gear Gang? The Secret Society? The Secret Society? Street Fighter 6’s story mode will clear things up when it launches next year.
