kara focus,walk n block
When do you use M.Shoryuken? Every time I use it, only the first hit connects and the second hit wiffs… 
Also,
what do you do against chun li when she neutral jumps HK (and then usually c.Hk afterwards)
anti air for mp shoryu only afaik. Using it in combos is hazardous to ken’s health.
What are the differences between these two cross-ups? the jumping lk, mk, and HP?? When and where do /should you use them???
lk can stuff wake-up dp’s among other reversals. It has short range and low block stun, so if it gets blocked you can be left quite vulnerable on landing. Might be able to use it as an ambiguous cross-up too (would be best if someone could clarify this though).
mk is the standard cross up. It has good range and the most lenient spacing required for it to cross-up. However it’s completely susceptible to wake up reversals.
hp is your go to move when you want an ambiguous cross up. Might be able to stuff some wake-up reversals as well (not 100% sure on this so someone please correct if able).
If anyone finds any inaccuracies in the this post then please feel free to correct them.
so kara cancel into a focus attack walk in and block?
thnx for the advice!
and another Q while i’m at it: what’s a safe move to use against 'gief without geting SPD’d, i’ve basically stopped tatsu’ing him because it gives him a free SPD everytime. thoughts? thnx!
use mk tastu or ex tastu those are safe on hit,and if u want a knock down use f.srk or ex srk
exactly what I was going to chime in with. just mix in when you neutral jump after tatsu and when you throw really well.
Who uses ken nowadays that places top 8?? or any ken thats really good??(US or JP)…wanna know whose videos to watch
right now i would put wao’s ken at the top of the ken totem. he’s very good at dictating the momentum and reading his oppenents reactions to his mixups. if you watch any of his vs geif matches you’ll notice him walkup low short geif ALOT.
he’s not crazy or lucky with those, he’s scaring the geif player away from spd’s. lol
cool thanks bro 
Dr. Chaos has the best Ken in the US without a doubt. Any match since Season’s Beatings he’s been killing it. He’s adding all shotos now, but is a Ken player first. Team Philly
I have problems hitting some of ken’s combos. For Example his : c.lp, c.lp, c.lk , Hk Tatsu just wont come out for me as a full combos. Should i dial the links faster or slower?
you cannot get a hk tatsu off of a lk in that combo.
if the combo you are talking about is cr.lp cr.lp cr.mk RH.tatsu then you will either get cr.mk blocked, or it wont come out at all.
also the only move you need to link in that combo is the cr.mk.
Sorry my notation isn’t very good. I mean cr. lp, cr. lp, cr.lk Tatsu motion using heavy kick.
why is this ?
Pretty sure he means if Nysidious is missing the link there are only two outcomes, the hit gets blocked or it doesn’t come out at all.
You can get it off a cr.lk. I’ve done it accidentally a lot with ex because instead of doing cr.mk then 2*kick for the tatsu I just tap cr.lk+cr.mk twice once for cr.mk and once for the ex tatsu and sometimes I press cr.lk too early (I guess) and I get cr.lk canceled into ex tatsu. HK and EX both have the same startup so HK should connect too.
Not really worth doing cr.lk over cr.mk unless it’s an accident, so replace cr.lk with cr.mk in your combo. Anyways I find cr.lp > cr.lp > cr.mk > tatsu is a tough one to get (I can only link cr.mk from cr.lp if I’m in a really good mood) so I do cr.lp > cr.lp > st.lp > cr.mk > HK or EX tatsu or I just do cr.lp > st.lp > cr.mk > MK tatsu.
Try those two instead. The only way to get combos anyways is to try try try until you get it at least a few times. Then you should be able to feel the speed you need to get it and start practicing getting it down 100%. You need to get it those first few times though.
You can do c.lp c.lp c.lk xx tatsu. You just need to delay c.lk so you’re linking it, not canceling. Its very very impractical as stated earlier.
Pretty much the only use for ever cancelling a c.lk into a special would be a little combo I’ve started using:
c.mp > c.lk (plink) xx f.srk
Its a hit confirm to escape the monotony of c.lk and c.lp hit confirm combos.
you cant plink c.lk u can duble tap it tho.or are you plinking it with jab,if so y dnt u use jab for 10 more damage
you can plink a cr.lk. what your thinking of is standing lk. which you cant plink because you’ll get a throw wiff. and what i was explaining to nysidious is that you cannot do "cr.lp cr.lp cr.lk rh tatsu. you can get the tatsu to come out if you link the cr. lk but the rh tatsu will be too far away to combo. anyways, there isnt a situation where its better than cr.mk.
