Ken General Thread: Go with the Flow

guys…MaxDood said on stream that final version of the game is very much Beta4 like, and Ken is the same as he was in Beta4… so yeah… we know what we can expect

Wow that’s unfortunate if so.

It’s Max, I don’t really find his first impressions noteworthy or relevant when it comes to new FGs. I’ll sit around and wait for his frame data to arrive.

Remember how Nash was bad and so was cammt?

And Chun-Li was supposedly weak in beta one even though it was her strongest version.

I’m not on the Ken hate train, I think he’s good. B Tier, not pushing A Tier IMO.

Hey Guy, I played Ken offline a lot those last days (Capcom gave us a copy). And against really strong players known in french such Valmaster and Evans.
So I had to find how to use Ken properly to win And I understood Ken is a looot different from Ryu, but people are playing him like if they were the same. Or like in USFIV.

As soon as I can, i’ll stream that.

More over, I’m one of the french Guests to show off SFV to France this week-end and I’ll be the player showing Ken and Vega. If you want to watch, it’ll be tomorrow 15h-21h (GMT+1).

Just saying that in case you are interested to see more Ken gameplay.

He got AA mp.shoryu ex.shoryu back in VT.

Got the game today, if you guys have any questions let me know.

Did they fix the damn hair clipping issues.

plz show us good Ken game play with proper combos :slight_smile: and GL

Did u notice any changes compared to beta4 build ?

Someone above said he can do anti-air MP SRK in VT into EX SRK again. Might of reverted some hitbox nerfs on EX SRK.

Yea you can do AA MP SRK VT into EX SRK. He does seem the same as the beta 4 version.

Man even if I’m wrong and Ken turns out to be like A tier in this game I’m still sad because I didn’t find Ken all that fun in beta 3 and 4. I hate it because I use Ken in every game he’s in. This would be my first time not maining him. Lol

does LP SRK > EX SRK work midscreen again?

Combo vid on front page shows midscreen TC->LP SRK->EX SRK so looking like we have combo’s again BOYZ.

He also has LP SRK -> FP SRK in the corner again. Seems like we are going to get a slightly better version of beta 4 Ken. If there is a hitbox or frame upgrade we might have a solid character. Least it is looking like his v-trigger is scary again.

Any good frames changes in the final version where the “RUN” is involved?

Doubtful, it has been fairly crap outside its use for CC’s and cr. FP anti-airs since the beginning. Highly doubtful they are suddenly going to give that up and do something fancy with it.

Yo does Ken have his old combo’s back? I’m watching a Ryu do some beta 2 things right now and I’m kinda hype.

Was it Ken they removed the cancelable st.lk for? Because if they did its back
