Ho Kun Xian (simplified Chinese: 何坤贤; traditional Chinese: 何坤賢; pinyin: Hé Kūnxián; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: hô khun hiân) (born 15 September 1990), better known as Xian, is a Singaporean professional fighting games player. Formerly part of Team Razer, Xian was the winner of Ultra Street Fighter IV at DreamHack Winter 2015.[1][2] At Capcom Cup 2015 he got third place after being eliminated by eventual runner-up Daigo Umehara.[3][4] He beat Yusuke Momochi at Final Round 18.[5] Xian plays Gen as his character of choice, as his stances allowed Xian more options. He stated that Gen was a very underestimated character that people have compared to Dan Hibiki and have easily dismissed as weak.[6]
