I’m bored, so I’m going to post this so I can start a flame war.
I don’t know who actually realizes this, but Ken takes so much skill to use. That’s right, he is far and away the least cheap character out of all the really good characters. If he’s not cheap, he must take skill since he’s so good right? Right.
Let’s take a look at the really good characters.
Necro, Makoto, Urien - For all intents and purposes they actually have 100% combos on people. 100% percent combos! WTF is that? One parry and boom, you can win. Whee. Aside from that, they’re basically cheap as fuck. KO even said that Makoto and Urien are tied for #1 in Japan. Maybe he was bullshitting us though. Definetly #1 for bullshit cheapness at least.
Chun Li - Two words: Kara-throw, low forward. Ok, 3 words.
Yun - Ok, he takes some skill to use. Maybe just a little. But 75% off of one stand forward is stupid. I hate that.
Dudley - This guy is like Ken on crack. Everything turns into super for him. He gets free jumps and a stupid unblockable overhead. That’s right, it’s unblockable! I swear.
Ken - He has, uh, low strong? Yay.
There you go, proof that Ken takes the most skill to win. All Ken users rejoice, all the other players are scrubs, we’re the real skill players!
Ken beasts Makoto by c.mp all day. dont tell me Ken takes alot more skill than characters like Makoto and Urien do… i have respect for people who can beast with Urien, cause its HARD To partition…
Ken = EX air hurricane kick that does like half life dmg, HIGH PRIORITY ATTACKS (c.mk,c.strong,c.short), really fast, his s.mp beats out throws, so that means c.short,short, stand, walk, and instead of going to c.short again, you do mp-fp… nice mind game making the guy think your gunna grab, but bam, you hit him with a super combo hahahahahah. his mp is too overpowered…
OH did anyone say DOUBLE SHORYUKEN? Please. Ken takes the same amount of skill to learn as Makoto or Necro or Yun… the person who takes the MOST skill to learn (who are actually decent characters) must be Alex/Urien… Charge partitioning is hella hard if you have never been exposed to it before… and thier timings are TIGHT.
Charge partitioning isn’t that hard, yo. I could do it my 1st time I tried it, and I can do things like dash dash head butt, and dash forward, dashback tackle.
I wanna play Ed ma Ken vs. Ken just to see how hard it is to play Ken…I have no doubts but it’ll be fun to see how Ken using Ken on Ken is going to be hard…random Shoryukens ahoy~!
You know why Ken has to low strong like a moron all day against Makoto? Because if she grabs him once ANYWHERE near her side of the screen the round is over. Oh gee, what a great character she is. He (and everyone else) has to run like a scared little girl if he wants to win.
Urien is dumb too. One low fierce launch can almost equal the round if the Urien knows what he’s doing. Unescapable unblockables are the GAY. Random headbutts can own too if you know how to use them. They can lead to stupid Aegis traps too. What’s so hard about Urien, you just run around and jump all day and learn when to do random headbutts/tackles/strong fireballs. Yay, one strong fireball leads to well over half life without even using half meter. Not to mention you get it all back anyway after it’s all over.
Kara shoryuken is hella hard. And if you manage to corner someone AND double uppercut them, good for Ken. That takes skill to do. Unfortunately, I don’t recall ex air hurricane kick leading to half life damage unless you know something I don’t. At most, if you HAVE LOTS OF SKILL, you could probably do like 35% max (Edit: Yi told me you can do 50%. But what does he know?). And the other person has to jump. Which means you made them jump. Good job Ken. At least the double shoryuken doesn’t almost stun a guy.
Alex blows. I’m talking about good characters. Ken’s the shit. I wish I was a scrub so I didn’t realize how broken 3S is and could just try and jump parry everything like most scrubs do.
