its like its hard to use rc cause rc fireball you HAVE to make sure that it connects cause if it dont then hes gonna roll and rape her or rc hk doesnt give her an advantage cause your pretty much right back at square with no momentum shift. ken can hurt her real hard real fast.
but you know what, im stupid, i should mk hurricane kick cause my dumbass is used to doing the hk hurricane kick against the cpu
if i knock down ken and cross up and try c.lk, dp will fuck me up bad and i think ken is totally safe, BUT if sak is standing close to him when he does his dp and you block, i THINK (hope to god) with meter you can shoshosho, but i think that you have to stand and not crouch, gotta be careful of kenās c.short
only use RC fireball when someone is getting upā¦ what totally safe is is close hp xx mp fireballā¦ it comboes, builds meter, and if he blocks he cant do shit =)
mk hurricane is best though yea i think with medium-sized charsā¦
i think its also needed for sakplayers to know how to lp, lp, activate, roundhouse xx shoshosho
coz thats what youre aiming forā¦ shoshoshoā¦ and lets just hoe that jab comes in? =/ pretty tough matchup imo, never played against a really good c-kenā¦ but i did against ryuāsā¦ and with ppl who know how to do psychic shinshoryukens X_x now thats painful
uh, you can easily build meter with jump back dive kicksā¦ ken canāt catch that very easily
if he tries to jump fierce you out of dive kick just donāt do the dive kick and hit him out of the airā¦ basicallyā¦ sak is more scary with meter than ken since she has so many more opportunities to hit him with the custom.
DooM- if you do short short short shoryuken with sak and they quick get up, YOU CAN PUNISH IT EASILY. just walk forward and do standing short, shoryuken again.
so yeah, i think sak wins this matchup because you really donāt have to think with her as much to win as ken does. Ken has to try to counterpoke with his s. rh and runs the risk of sak rolling through and getting a free combo. Sak can s. rh counterpoke and poke all day and doesnāt have to worry about kenās slow ass roll. Right there is the first reason sak has an easier time. Second, c-ken builds meter slower and needs to be up close to make good use of it (although low forward into kick super is pretty good with him)ā¦ Sak builds meter faster and can activate anytime ken whiffs rc kick/s. rh/roll/fireball/etc.
Daigo probably switched out chun for ken vs. a-sak because chun does horrible against sakura. Itās extraordinarily hard to counter poke sakuraās s. rh with chun s. strong since there isnāt much recovery. Sakura can anti-air chun at any range, and chun gets mixed up when she gets knocked down (she can rc lightning legs, but if sakura blocks it she gets free short short uppercut).
kcxj- ken jumping jab is better then jumping short. especially against certain characters like blanka that have problems anti-airing it.
