I feel exactly like you. All the kens I watch do the same stuff over and over. Same combos, etc, but yea its cool I guess. Ken still owns like yeaaa. Hes still flashy and cool
Yea the above things are pretty cool. Try some srk fadc, ex hadoken, ultra stuff as well or something if that’s not mentioned. There are vids on youtube that are mostly combos people dont use a lot that are pretty flashy
Something flashy is : [media=youtube]LRQsbygPKXc[/media]
1:30 is pretty damn cool. Costs 4 bars though prob
We gotta put emphasis on that shit though =D lmao.
I’ve been watching a lot of IFC yipes videos for some reason. Really liking it. Ken seems to have some pretty nice shi, like his karas etc. Kara throw mostly feels so unique even though ever char can do it. Still no one seems to use him in tournies \ : [Prob cause the most used chars in tournies are bad matchups against him, but still ]
If you guys have ever seen Ed ma’s Ken, that’s what I’m talking about. An all out assault of attacks mixed with style making people go OHHHHH. I find his Ken to be the most impressive Ken in terms of it’s fun to watch his play. Yipes coming in 2nd.
I guess I gotta watch more Edma, since I didn’t really find him that cool at first. He never uses FADC stuff either if that’s what you mean with flashy. Ill check more of his stuff out now though.
Hm all the vids are from 9-10 months ago though, cause he moved onto akuma
Edit: Rewatched him vs the 3 dudes, OCV’d them. Good good stuff. Now that I watch them later it feels good
Am I the only person who hasen’t seen these(watch the ken parts obviously).
I tested them out and the ultra actually connects for full damage. No counter hit needed.
Made a new account on SRK haven’t been on in forever maybe i missed this or something.
I tested some out mostly just the jump forward after crumple stun ones they all work fine besides the taunt one i think not sure I forget. Pretty easy to.
Here’s something odd. I was playing with a bunch of new people on Wednesday, and someone commented that my playstyle was, to quote, “there’s some 3s Ken shit.”
What does that mean?
EDIT: right, I understand what 3S means. I meant, what specifically are they referring to? I’m not exactly doing c.MK xx super here, though I am doing a good amount of c.MK xx tatsu and other shenanigans.
I’ve recently come across a very good Cammy, and i don’t kno what to do against her cannon spike’s (the ones she uses as dive kicks), it seemed unstoppable at the moment. No she seemed unstoppable Lol. i got used to her spiral arrow and ground cannon spike shenanigans. but when she would just use non-stop dive kick/ cannon spikes. it was just way too much for me to handle the speed of her attacks made me wanna scream GET OFF ME!!! :chainsaw:
so All in All i really need help with this matchup any tips would be appreciated. :karate:
first and formost in dealing with that mixup: DON’T PANIC!!! the objective of that mixup is to make you panic, you forget your options that way.
so now for your options and why the mixup is so tough to deal with. first of all the cannon strike (air to ground: aka her dive kick) used that way is a strong deterrent of 2 things; throws and low attacks, it beats both for free, if you want to throw anything out in hopes of catching her i recommend c. jab/strong or srk, but all of those options will lose to her cannon spike (dp) and the first 2 will lose if she puts her own throw in there. a option to avoid it is to backdash away from her, but if she delays her strike a bit she can punish that. so your gonna have to guess a bit about where she is going with it and act accordingly.
um… i can’t think of any other options when your in that mixup, neutral jump really fails hard because she could time a strike to hit you before you leave the ground… or if she misses that timing she still has plenty of time to beat you with a spike.
just stay patient, realize she doesn’t have a quick overhead, only her jumpins will hit you while your blocking low and be ready to tech her throw attempts (USE LATE TECHS, DO NOT SPAM OST she really wants you to do that). if you tech a throw attempt then you at least create a little space where you can keep her out, ideally you want her to be out of range except when your on offense.
Hey guys, I’m frustrated and really start to hate Ryu. Just played like 10 of them in a row and only won two or so
Every time I want to hit-confirm a SRK or tatsu, I get hit with his SRK between the first and second jab. I thought my timing was wrong and stuff, so I went to training mode and checked, but everything seems ok there. But online, it’s a mess. I thought it could be because of mini-lags, but cr. jab isn’t the hardest link to hit so I really don’t get it, it just happens every time a Ryu just spams SRK.
Second thing is that I get thrown a lot, even though I use option command throw (or whatever it’s called, you know what I mean). Even worse, I try to close up with air ex-tatsu while he fires a hadoken, but I get grabbed as soon as I land
This only happens against Ryu, every other shoto never hits me between my jabs…
I’m actually glad if i meet a Sagat-player instead of a Ryu because I usually win against them o.o
the reason why Ryu hits you thru your links is 2 reasons. you need to make your links more solid, and Ryu has the fastest Srk startup in the game. but if you have your links down solid you should’nt have a problem. Ryu wont be able to Dp through a decent block string. Trust me he wont i link Srk on ryu all the time.
