But that's the problem with Ken's variant of the PON: it activates when protecting a loved one, not just when he's in a fight. If it's a tag team battle (like Ryu and Ken vs. Scorpion and Sub-Zero) where Ken has a loved one or someone he cares about who is in danger, then yes, he could use that power. But in just a standard battle with an opponent where it's just them and no one else, then it's moot.

Feel free to agree with my original battle, but I believe that with Ken not having any means with which to utilize the PON outside of an ally to protect, I see Sub-Zero's versatility advantage combined with the dragon medallion's power being enough to stand up to Ken's speed and strength.
