Hey, I think you forgot something notable about Tatsumaki Senpukyaku. Specifically having to do with their light variations. For Ryu the light variations is essentially just shorter and weaker. For Ken it changes from a 4 hit move that almost never sends into tumble into a 2 hit move with the second hit being a launcher which sends into tumble at around 32 percent. This is useful for tech chases and jab locking.

Not true. Ryu likes to jump into light fierce.

It’s interesting seeing the smash community interpret street fighter characters and mechanics. Ryu has more health, Ken has always been faster. He specializes in the shoryu and ryu gets the fireball super. (I was surprised that ken got a shakunetsu in sfv) Ken’s overhead is a kick, ryu has his can opener. The bottom line is ryu and ken have such a good move set you could put them in any fighting game and they will do well. Having street fighter fundamentals in your game ensures you’ll be pretty well prepared for almost any other fighter.

The reason why they're considered echo fighters is because of their history. Ken started off as a copy of Ryu, so it ends up making sense in the end on why they made them so similar and different at the same time

The only reason they are echo fighters is because they are both Shotos. And it also references the fact that Ken is the most iconic fighting game clone (tied with Sub-Zero). Also a little tip to get a perspective on the characters: - Ryu is for Keep-Away and KO power. Focusing in Hadoukens and small combos that push away the opponent. - Ken: Focuses on pure rushdown and pressure. KO’ing only during combos.

I personally like to play the more patient game, and Ken kind of required you to be aggressive, so Ryu is perfect for me.

It would be cool to get a comparison for Mario and Luigi with their various differences. I know Luigi has changed a lot since the first Smash Bros, but it would be neat to see how far he has changed in Smash Ultimate know that he still shares some moves with his brother albeit with different properties.

Alex you make the best video don't stop doing what you like

Really good video, I didn't know all of these differences. Personally I think Ken edges out Ryu in this game because of the amount of combos and mixups he is able to do along with his shuryuken being an really good kill option. I've definitely noticed how different their hadokens are as Ryu's are way better imo because of speed changes and power. I guess it depends on your fighting style preference but I just feel like Ken has a lot more options because of his speed and because his moves don't have such launch back whereas with Ryu you aren't going to be able to get more than two or three combos out of it. Both have AWESOME shield pressure though.

Great video!

You also forgot to mention Ryu's Kill throw is his Up throw, while Ken can kill with his Back Throw.
