Ken General Thread: Go with the Flow

The run isn’t nearly as good as Guy’s run. It’s more to catch you sleeping than to apply pressure.

It’s cool lol he did a few things I wouldn’t have done. Mainly dp>vtrigger. Way too unsafe

I am pretty sure, outside of v-trigger, only st.hp xx run on hit is not punishable (since it can combo with lk.tatsu).

Don’t know in v-trigger.

There is also a video with Ken normals xx v-trigger to learn that.

V-trigger doesn’t change his run properties sadly. Unless some normals get magically more block stun still screwed doing run on block.

You can’t trick us! You are the real ken hero, attempting to blend in with us generic ken plebs : (

Don’t generalise me into your crab freak horror show

TINYSADCRAB … :bee:

Side note, I’ll be getting a completely overhauled rig thanks to divine intervention and I’m grabbing myself a 970GTX among other great hardware, turns out my old PC couldn’t handle the GPU I brought so I took it back, on the bright side it means I’m going to have a generally better system and be able to comfortably record and edit some videos, I already have Vegas/Recording Software/the stuff needed to create them.

So apart from random highlight reels of online games I have, anybody want to see anything specific? I’d like to showcase tech I manage to find as well so people have somewhere to look for Ken odds and ends.

Crab battle!!!

Just ordered the Collectors Edition of the Prima guide, I’ll be posting Ken’s full frame data as soon as possible on release unless someone beats me to it, it’d be nice if someone competent at frame counting could then test a couple oddities if I come across any.

You can actually OS the crush counter so you only get the run if it counter hits. Now if you want it on any hit you’ll have to make that read.

Please give Ken some of his beta 2 combos back in final build… Does any lp srk, hp srk juggles still exist? Can ken still combo 3 ex fireballs in the corner?

Also anyone know anyone who got to play the final version? :confused:

random is random.

WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT.
crabs are decapods.

Whiffed techs can be hit on reaction though. You don’t get the counter but you can certainly wait to see the tech whiff for a confirmed hit.

Only on CC, so if they tech you don’t get your CC OS and just hit them in the noggin’

I just mean if you wait for the tech then it’s not a read. You can react to a tech whiff so you don’t have to OS a run, you know you’re going to hit.

That was just me replying to LoyalSol but on my phone, it hates quotes.

I find reacting to a tech pretty tough though because I’m looking for multiple options at once.

why do I get a feeling that Yun crowd is gonna migrate to Ken here

If anything I’d say Necalli or Rashid are more like Yun than Ken is

I don’t think that too many people really like Ken enough to use him. It was just beta though. No one really knows for sure what he is or what he will be. Some people believe he’s bottom 2, some people believe that he’s really good, but just have to be able to play neutral in order to win with him. I hope that if he does stay this way, that some of his frame data changes. He is really good with V-Trigger though. If he is low tier, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s horrible. It just means that out of the cast, he’s weaker in some aspect or another. In this case, it’s his neutral that you have to think about vs everyone else. I guess I’m going to be playing him primarily & hope that it’s just BETA blues. If it is so, then Karin & Chun Li will get the call to duty.
