Holding the over decade long title as "King of Smash", Ken speaks about his experiences at EVO 2016 and his future looking forward.

While not as competitive as he was in his prime, Ken still chooses to attend prestigious tournaments.  However, rather than playing strictly competitively, Ken states that he occasionally attends to play for fun as well. Like other legends in varying esports titles before him, Ken likes to play for the fans and make a spectacle of his matches.

However, Ken has other non-esports endeavors to keep in mind. "I'm picking and choosing very wisely what tournaments I'm going to."  Responsibilities aside, Ken also suffers from carpal tunnel, limiting his practice schedule. "If [ the pain ] starts getting any worse, I probably have to retire again."
