Ken = Skill

well, makoto is about 100x more fun to play than ken that is for sure.

so is urien…

wow… i didnt realize how bad makoto owned ken until i read that… :lame:

this cant be a serious thread…

to the truth… just about every character has something in their game they can whore… the ones that dont… well their low tier of course.

um…that makoto stun combo is either easy or 50-50, meaning it’ll land all the time thingy…anyhow

I’m wondering why you’re not bitching about Chun…
I’d like to ask a question that may seem random

  1. How can one play similar to Justin’s style without having negative responses sent back to you?

I can’t play like that at my local arcade without having rotten tomatoes being thrown at me…let alone ashtrays (a little overexaggerating but you get the point…Pyro in Japan movie).

Experimenting with EC style is hard without the actual EC players that play like this…I only have Amir to practice with as he formerly lived in EC and used to play with the likes of Eddie Lee and Justin. (Don’t tell him I said his Rolento’s shitty…:smiley: )
HE DOESN’T TURTLE ENUFF!!!

My basic point is that I cannot practice playing EC style in the arcade without having someone walking away from the machine. The only times that are relevant are in tourneys where $ is actually on the line.

I can see how it’s gay but being gayer means low strong with ken only does 90 damage and comes out at a whopping 6 frames…gee, that means other stuff can beat it with the 7 frame lag afterwards…even tho Ken’s just doing low strongs all day…

Come to think of it, Ken takes a lot of work strategically and in the mind game part, but he has enough mobility and good enough moves to just mash on low roundhouse to actually look like you know what you’re doing. Whee, I can whiff a jumping roundhouse and then Ume-shoryu on landing only to see the other guy just block and do either 95% damage with one makoto grab or an over 50% genei-jin combo or a near 100% kill off of one low fierce into triple aegis setups with urien…whee, random uppercuts with Ken is fun, but only if it’s 2 frames startup…
(Think Daigo vs KO at Evo…uppercut dive kick wrong way)

Edit: WE NEED MORE CHEAP ASS CHUN LI PLAYERS…yea yea, I know this is a Ken thread but what the hey!

Good for you. I bet you did kara-shoryuken, or hugo’s 720 your 1st time too.

As for Ed Ma’s comments on Urien being reduced to random jump RK, headbutts and tackles…it’s not that far from the truth. I’ve always said that Urien is easy to learn.

Ken is fun.

Cant wait to play you at T5 :evil:

U TRAITOR:lame:

haha ED so mad

btw Sup

I thought of about a thousand ways to make fun of you for this. But let it suffice to say, you are an idiot. Stop posting.

well to answer shortshort’s question regarding justin’s playing style… it’s OK to turtle if you’re playing a tournament semi-finals. winning matters a little more than etiquette sometimes.

:lol:

You had such a big list of insults at my apartment…

Retarded Xylophone is the band name btw.

I’ll eat you guys’ babies.:frowning:

Basically what I’m trying to say is…how are you supposed to learn how to beat it without doing it first in casual or practice and have people practice against it to learn how to beat it?

That’s my reasoning, we have a serious lack of chun players here

haha we have too much

Basically the only reason people think Ken is easier to learn is cause most players are already used to the shoto style gameplay. But it tends to completely fall apart in the face of shoto players of intermediate skill and higher.

Play however you want. I’m using Chun from now on anyway. She’s a dumb boring whore.

I will admit though that random c. jab into super with her is about the funnest thing in 3S. :smiley:

GOOD JOB EDMA!!! GO CHEAP ASS CHUN PLAYER!!!
We need more of those…play as dirty as cole does in ST…ie. play like Ricky or Justin…it’ll be fun

reminds me of that time you were so pissed of this one time playing Ken that you actually found a way to play totally safe with him, and then if you even got hit you didn’t seem to care…it was the most hilarious moment I’ve ever seen you in

It actually looked like you were having fun too…first time Edma looked like he was actually on something…:smiley:

Chunners…back + hp :smiley:
Ken…down + mk :smiley:

Basically the only reason people think Ken is easier to learn is cause most players are already used to the shoto style gameplay

Unlike Sean tho, he’s damn near impossible to play with lol

haha sean is barely a shoto
his srk has low priority and he has no ex-fireballs to toss out =/

i play with sean a lot anyways, he has some good tricks up his sleeves. well not really, but it’s fun going low-tier

That move can suck an egg. WHY DOES THAT WORK!?!!
Chun = :fury: :frowning:

jab(from straight up jump/)xxsa2 connects…same goes to any button you press i assume.
looks really awkward!?!

Nanitaberu… do you ever come to JZee’s in Burnaby?

ya man, all the time
