Let's put that in perspective: after a couple of months' worth of training, Ken was able to equal a man who fights and trains day in and day out. He only started training again when he heard Ryu would take part in the second World Warrior tournament, and basically did a training cram session before promising to marry Eliza if he beat Ryu in the tournament. For reference, his official profile in Street Fighter II states that after winning the US Martial Arts Tournament in the first game, he took time off from training for a whole year to spend time with Eliza. He was sent to learn martial arts from Gouken to learn some humility, but that also came pretty easy to him. Ken was born with a ridiculous amount of natural talent and athleticism, which made him especially cocky when he was younger. Where Ryu has strong defensive capabilities and damage, Ken is more aggressive and mobile.
His fireballs are more useful for pressure rather than zoning, his uppercuts generally reach further and are stronger as they set the opponent on fire, and his spinning kicks don't knock down like Ryu's but in exchange set the opponent up for Ken to continue his offense. Ken's take on the Ansatsuken style focuses more on his natural talent as a fighter, putting his own personal spin on the signature techniques.

However, as the series went on, his style deviated further away from Ryu's until it evolved into something completely different. Originally, Ken served as essentially a Palette Swap of Ryu, as mirror matches were not possible in the earliest installments.
Ken returns once again in Street Fighter V, this time sporting a new look, hanging the top part of his red karate gi off his waist so he can wear a black shirt with red trim with matching gloves, and growing his hair out a bit longer and tying it off into a topknot. After the events of IV his son Mel is born, and in Street Fighter III Ken (reluctantly) takes Sean as his apprentice and begins training his son Mel in his style of martial arts. In IV he hesitates joining the new tournament, but Eliza encourages him to do so, stating that he'll be back before their baby's birth. He eventually marries her by the end of Street Fighter II. Martial Arts Tournament, where he met his girlfriend Eliza. After completing his martial art training from Gouken (and learning humility and the meaning of hard work in the process), Ken moved back to his native America and won the U.S. Ken's father sent him to Gouken (an old friend of his) so he wouldn't leech off of the family fortune later on in life. He is characterized by his red karate gi and his medium-length/long blond hair. The son of a wealthy family, Ken Masters is the former training partner and friendly rival of Ryu, who uses the same special techniques (specializing in the Shoryuken or "Dragon Punch").
