Ken General Thread: Go with the Flow

He looks interesting (playwise). I like the redesign, like others have said, I don’t mind his new hairstyle just improve the graphics on it.

I miss his CvSnK 2 overhead flip style kick. Back SRK motion and kick.

Tell them that the dude that suggested the whole new design is not happy with hair color :smiley:

Lol, joke aside it will be cool if you can, a 5 minutes tweak on the less-green/more-reddish side can really give it a great aesthetic improvement

They already removed shitty alien azure eyes and i’m sure they will fix face like they did with Charlie, imho they’re on the right path

On released pics he look cool, is just hair color killing it

It would be interesting if he will be losing Forward-Dash to have RUN towards that is much better and make him a powerful Rush Down but it does give a TRADE-IN of losing the capacity to block when Running. Rather than giving him more option that makes him more flexible and versatile while having powerful threatening pressure tools. This would kill his mix game for pressure.

Making Ken a more Carefree Rush Down Character and Ryu as a more Defensive versatile PATIENT Counter part would be a great different since this will offer diversity between in selecting them.

So this would still make and keep RYU as a “VARIABLE” counter part.

Ever since from the 90s SF games (ZERO, SF2, SFEX) even VS games with the exception of SF3 series and MVC2. Ken’s AI and Gameplay of Special moves guarded correctly always puts him into a very risky situation that is very PUNISHABLE.

From his Multi Hitting Tatsu that leaves the opponent in a faster recovery rate after being hit, Even in VS series that it goes all the way up.
The same with his Shoryuken that the the 90s Ken’s AI would spam you everytime.

I hope they Just put the Short Distance ROLL similar to SF4 Abel so that Ken can go behind his opponent.

Ken’s is easily the most hype reveal so far. Command run? Dive kick? Good walk speed? Unfuckable with anti air? I’M IN THERE.

The unhype part is, knowing Capcom, any blocked move cancelled into V skill is sure to be minus on block. But still… I’M IN THERE.

I was more hype with Dictator reveal, Its still unknown. but i’m all for diversity of character selection and gameplay.

It won’t work on block in later versions I heard, so it’s fine by me. Either way it looks heavily punishable if not hit.

Can’t wait to blow up everybody trying to run cancel everything.

I just don’t get why he has 2 dicks hanging from his head…and a man bun fucking hipster man bun.

Aside from that his gameplay looks really really fun! But we all know whats going to happen once the game is released

Im sure it has more recovery than his dash and dash allows you to move backwards. Running forward doesn’t give you as much positioning for footsies as walking or dashing does. Its mainly for closing gap for rush down.

Distance, spacing, speed…those alone are reason enough.

Ken looks great…

Found my main :slight_smile:

His gameplay looks sick. His head though, man. This shit looks worse than sf4.

Sorry, but Ken looks fucking retarded.

Nash’s teleports, Ryu’s can break block, bison’s allows for teleports for ambiguous crossups + more, Chun li’s increases the amount of hits per move, cammy’s is similar but gives her specials different properties and we haven’t seen enough of ken’s to distinguish it yet.

ERM, everyone is complaining about ken having a ‘Man bun’ (which I also agree are disgusting by the way) but he clearly doesn’t…

THIS IS A MAN BUN

THIS IS A PONYTAIL, a very common way to keep hair from flying into your face while doing things. He looks cool a F***

Send this one as well

I definitely agree with the hair colour in those pics. Make it so number one

As long as they won’t change the outfit I’m fine with some tweks on his har and face

I posted >this< on the other topic and tweeted it to Yoshi_OnoChin (Ono’s twitter) >here<.

It’s not perfect but way better than the yellow/greenish banana hair.
