Ken General Thread: Go with the Flow

Ken is the playboy of the Capcom universe, I would like handsome Ken back as well. Step kick still looks terrible, as well as most of Ken’s normals, but it’s clearly very very early, most of his normals don’t make sense atm. I like his overall strategy though, looks like ken is going to be a fun mix-up character that’s has strong pressure. His V-trigger FB might actually be a good zoning tool as well.

Cant you watch a video frame by frame to see if the startup on kens stepkick has changed?

Footage isn’t 60 frame per second

I really do hope he’s available on the next beta test run. I wanna see how different from Ryu he is now, even though they’ve always differed from each other.

what if ? Ken becomes a frametrap monster in this game

Those are some big ass feet.

Ken rocks the size 16 J’s outside of street fighter

It’s confirmed he will be

Nah those counter hit and crush counter combos look TOOOOOO fucking sick let me play this character already!

The Ken army is gonna be strong in the next beta.

At least 3 days straight of only Ken here. The mirror matches will be intense.

Gonna be mostly Ken and I’ll dabble into using Necalli

Next beta gonna bring lots of free wins with all the flowchart Kens.

Free wins means free fight money. I can unlock Karin’s stage in line an hour

The crush counter mechanic on DPs will be tested throughly

oh shit, you’re right

gonna have to practice those full punish CC combos.

Of course Ken has to be one of the 1st day beta characters. I can’t fucking wait

So can anybody answer this - when fishing for a Counter Hit/Crush Counter combo with Ken - be it his launcher normals or just a crush counter, do you HAVE to commit with the run immediately? Or can you confirm the hit before pressing his V-Skill at a delayed time? I don’t know how the cancel property works with the run, does it cancel out of the recovery frames of a normal of does it cancel out when the move has recovered?

Gonna find out in about 2 weeks. Thats honestly gonna be one of the first things I practice with Ken in training mode.

Not if is LP DP apparently :confused:

LP DPs are immune to crush counter whiff punishes?
