“What Happened to My Face and Hair?!? The Ken Thread”
I liked the thread title someone made as “The Eternal Flame”… guessing because it’s similar with “Eternal Wanderer” from the Ryu thread.
Pre-heating: Ken Prerelease Discussion?
I’m Ready For Ya! - Ken General Discussion ?
Idk, sub-forums usually have character quotes on their stickied threads.
Lets turn up the heat! - Ken general discussion
Something along those lines I guess?
“I’m not Dan!”
…I got nothing. I think either of the previous two suggestions:
Would work well though.
I prefer yours, much more iconic.
As long as nothing on this sub-forum ever gets named - “I’VE REACHED MY BOILING POINT”
I vote that for dumbest V-Trigger activation voice clip.
It’s “I’ve hit my boiling point!” IIRC, not reached. /nitpicking
I like that v-trigger quote personally. Maybe it’s just me but I’ve always liked how “cheesy” Ken’s lines can be. Not just on the v-trigger activation but his Critical Art as well.
That one always felt weird because of the delivery, the speed in which he says it makes me cringe a little. One of the main reasons I like Ken so much is purely because of his VA, the dude is great at voicing badassery characters, Dante & Ken? YOU CANNOT GET BETTER THAN THAT.
I actually liked that we we’re the only thread without a cringy title so:
**
Ken General Discussion

Yes.
Perfect.

I should get around to setting up a Ken Tech thread…I just feel like Sephiroth is much better at those type of things if he has the enthusiasm to make one. If nobody else is willing I’m fine to put the work in though, even set up a YouTube to upload small tech stuff.
I’ll be going through Ken’s frame data once the game releases. Should there be a separate thread for that or should I just post in here when I get that finished?
Separate topic for easy browsing IMO.
Good stuff on the VT HK Tatsu, but I really don’t agree with the first part of the video. Now, I’ve been singing the praises of his dash and using his run from further away for a while, but you’re not hit confirming a special cancel off his cr.mp with any sort of reliability. Ken is going to have to use his fireball and superb anti-air game to get in a position where he can go ham up close on people (his TC1 xx EX Hadoken is a good use of meter for constant frametraps, kind of like using Fei’s EX Rekkas), but everything else in neutral is going to be super risky.
I love how he says “react with hk.tatsu vs fireballs” and then does a hk.tatsu at the same time he does a hadouken.
That deserves it’s own thread, for sure. I’d want that information ASAP in a nice format and easily accessible, it’d be much appreciated by everyone ;p
It does look slightly reactable, the two things I didn’t like were his “dash-in, dash out” strats because they only work when your opponent is doing literally NOTHING and he isn’t taking into account a human opponent. And confirming from cr.mp which is just impossible to do reliably, it’s mainly guesswork. The classic shoto plan of fireball/uppercut I’m not a fan of either, you aren’t utilizing his strengths enough and it’s match-up dependent on what space you want. Full screen however, hell no.
Apart from that though, his ideas were all made with logic behind them in most places, I just think he’s wrong for a fair amount. Cool vid all-in-all.
Boring thread title finally changed, thankfully.
I have an exam the day after the game is released, but if his safe jump oki setups still exist (people are saying they may have messed with MK Tatsu again) I’ll post up what they beat and what setup works on who by Thursday.
I’ll do it text based, but no promises on a video other then maybe uploading each setup separately since doing that on PS4 is super simple. No cohesive video with production values though.
Does kens jump ex tatsu have any invincibility? Or can it be anti aired with normals?
It’s pretty easy to hit him out of it if you get a button out, but it is really fast.
Send them all my way, and I’ll work on video versions for everything. New rig should be pretty good at capturing at a high quality and I have Vegas Pro ready to go.
