Violent Ken is an unlockable sub-boss and player character in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos (2003). He was also featured as an enemy in Project X Zone 2 before he became a playable character again and finally a part of the Street Fighter series through Ultra Street Fighter II in 2017. 

Violent Ken is an alternate version of Ken Masters under the evil influences of Shadaloo and considerably more vicious. He is a mirror image of his rival Ryu’s darker self known as Evil Ryu.

Violent Ken is based entirely off the Street Fighter II Animated Movie; where in order to lure Ryu out of hiding the evil M. Bison captures Ken Masters and exposes him to his psycho powers. After Ken undergoes these torturous methods, he is brought to Ryu’s location and engages Ryu in a deadly one-on-one fight.
