In SF5 Ryu’s Parry has like 15F of recover. So if your opponent does a light or some mediums (At least Cammy cr.MP and s.MK) they will recover before you and punish/keep the momentum on your parry attemps.
Waiting for dat Hot Fiyah mixtape from Ken.
Don’t you mean… SUPA HOT FIYA?
Can’t Ryu cancel parry into another parry on hit?
They might be able to punish a parried jab with a throw, or a jab canceled into a command grab, though.
Anyways, this thread is a Ryu clone.
I’d hope that you guys would go to the Ryu thread to discuss Ryu… and not the Ken thread.
Capcom sitting back like “We just changed Ken’s look and people still get them confused” 
gets in ken’s thread
sees people discussing ryu
thinks he accidently went into ryu’s
gets confused as to where to go
loses directions
gets lost in SRK’s maze
HEEEEEEEEEEEELP
I really find it hilarious how Ken:
- Changed up his appearance (new haircut, kinda different outfit)
- Got some new moves
- Is all flashy and fast and hits a gazillion times
- Is a showoff even more than before
- Has frickin’g flames ALL OVER THE PLACE
- Is so far the most exciting character announcement we’ve seen
And yet we’re still discussing Ryu, to the point the discussion went south to talking about how Ryu needs something really special now to take the spotlight back, and to the point Ryu’s being discussed in KEN’S OWN THREAD!
That sounds like a gross exaggeration. There isn’t any frame data available for SF5 yet so you can’t tell me about frames when you’re just judging by your eyes like the rest of us.
Yeah dunno why we are talking about Ryu here…
Because Ryu and Ken are rivals. And traditionally they’ve had very similar movesets. This game they’ve taken such a radical departure from each other that I think it’s actually hard to talk about one without talking about the other.
Yeah, don’t see Ryu Ken discussion crossing over as a problem. Ken definitely does seem more exciting atm, I think many are just wondering if Ryu is even “done”, looks kinda boring in comparison and based on footage so far, almost disadvantaged.
Still, might just be that Ken simply had one of the more hype reveals so far, he looks really spectacular even with the bananas.
Back on topic: bananas.
Midlife crisis Ken is probably the result of losing a match to Mel and actually having to try against Sean :’(
Ryu thread? What’s that?
Someone on my Steam FL calls him Kenana peel now. I have nothing of worth to contribute if you can’t tell.
You can only cancel the parry into another parry IIRC so it’s probably going to be pretty bad to use vs. light attacks, you’re going to want to parry things you can get a punish on or at least frame neutrality/advantage - and taking into consideration how good a lot of the medium strength attacks have been across the board so far that could be really relevant in making his parry deadly. Seriously though, take that shit to the Ryu thread.
Only thing to actually care about with his parry - recreating EVO Moment 37 in a ranked match at some point.
EDIT: My phone post only just came through, no idea why. This was way back…
Currently kens st lk being special cancelable is pretty good.
Low forward looks fast but also looks like it covers a good range.
Right now Ken is looking like a complete character outside of the things I stated above. Run canceling normals will make the mind games too strong lol.
It seems holding MK+MP gives you the step kick and just pressing it makes him run a set distance.
Also watching that video Ken’s damage seems to be on the lower end right now.
