does any1 know if ken’s tc1 is safe in the latest build
does Ken’s Fierce DP provide enough hitstun so that you can V-Trigger FADC to combo ?
Id like to use FADC for than low forward into fireball :3
FADC doesn’t exist anymore bruh ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It would now be V-Trigger Attack Cancel, or probably just V-Cancel or some shit it will be coined as down the line.
I can’t answer the question because I’ve never seen it happen in a match, people use the low forward fireball because of the extended range you get to confirm the cancel. You’ll want to try to activate your V-Trigger from as far of a hit confirm as possible so using DP seems redundant unless it was for a punish purpose(EX DP looks like a punish god) it’s possible you can juggle them into a V-Cancel from the DP though, I think that was in his trailer?
With the way Ken’s TC1 launches right now, there are no easily hit-confirmable links that leave the opponent grounded, so src canceling is simply not efficient even if doable. You could confirm from lights, but then you get a heavily scaled combo.
Ken has 2 other options for starting big damage v-trigger combos. St hp -> st mp -> special -> v-trigger or TC2 -> special -> v-trigger. St hp seems safe on block but st mp connects at the furthest so a fireball might not even combo after it (but an ex fireball probably will). On the other hand, TC2 is almost certainly unsafe on block even at the first hit but it’s a good option for punishes and heavy jump-in confirms.
Another possibility we ought to check is medium links after back mp. The move has enough blockstun (i think it’s +2 on block) so it might have enough hitstun to allow another medium button to link after it. We might for example get to do cr mp -> back mp -> cr mk -> special.
Just made a quick video from that share factory thing lol… Just some meterless hitconfirms.
That first combo is supposed to be 2 shorts, not sure why it skips. The last 2 combos are counter hit.
Those square circle triangle x transitions LOL.
I guess Ken still has bnbs. Officially better than Dan.
Really good that tatsu hits crouchers.
The cr.mp, cr.lk xx dp shouldn’t work if the rumors of it not being cancellable anymore are true.
Solid bnbs definitely
Ken is up on the beta now? Man, I wish I wasn’t at work.
Well this is supposed to be technically their latest build, just without any of the newer characters.
Don’t knock the transitions lol…
Seems like outside of v-trigger, only his ex air tatsu and the second kick of his tc put the opponent into a juggle state.
If you cancel on the first hit you can’t combo, but on second hit it pops them into the air in which you can juggle.
It’s not safe but you can definitely confirm just off the b.mp. Plus the b.mp is also cancelable and I think it may be plus on block.
Why the fuck is Ken locked?
I dunno. I was surprised people could even play him. I still can only play Mika, Vega, Necalli
Technically this is the pre beta though, so nothing is supposed to work as normal until it launches in about 9 hours. This is essentially more stress testing.
I was playing him until the 1.05 update downloaded then he disappeared
If somebody can share combos I will appreciate it
Man I got about 5 minutes of training with Ken before update 1.05 finished downloading and kicked me out the beta. Now I can’t get back in.
Hurry up 9pm.
Some shit I found with ken in the beta sorry about the bad quality.

Ken can combo into stepkick
s.lp can combo into TC1
TC2 hits crouching opponents now, has better range that cr.mk and can confirm into hp.dp
In vTrigger mode ken can do s.hp run cr.mp
Is it ok for us to stop crying now? :s
Crying? Why? haha
People are still gonna cry because lights been nerfed. Eliza’s been nerf, Chun’s breast been nerf… Everything has been nerf.
