This is MU is kinda down to who gets started first

Ken has great pressure that can keep you out of DP range, but our sweep can low profile his 5B and 236A/B so find gaps where you can sweep and then try to whiff punish if your close enough the good thing about this is that if the dog is heading towards you you'll hit the dog

When your midscreen try not to be too present happy he can run up 5B, 236A/B ( fatal) or even send the dog at you if he's fast enough and most likely put you in the corner, if he jumps check where the dog is, if the dog is close to you hit it and do as much damage as possible before Ken can land to heal, if Ken is closer than the dog you can get an antiair 5B or Igor if you feel you'll get the fatal

Once you lock him down it's hard for him to get out since his DP is easy to bait he can't do anything except mash a dog normal or super , so if you want to bait the dog normal just 2B jump cancel back dash JC, that'll catch his 5C 2C and 214C/D not sure about 236C/D though, for his awakening super ( 2 frame startup ) you can't use delay 5BB string you need to do an immediate 5BB and catch the mash, if you bait a DP basically go for

whatever you want if you want a bright arrow combo make sure you hit the dog first and watch out for a late super cancel if he has meter

This MU i'd say is about 6:4 your favor 5:5 depending on how you play it just my opinion

Kens 2B is comparatively bad with most of the casts, and Koromaru can die in 1 j.C if you get full hits on him.

 

Be careful of his longer range stuff and keep the dog in pain. He should have to work way harder than you to get his gameplan going.
