made a Ken AE combo vid
After watching BananaKen at CEO, I really want to get Kenâs combos into sweep down so that I can get that untechable knock-down.
My question: Is it off of a cr. mp like Ryuâs? Or is there another normal it combos after? I wasnât getting the sweep off the other night in training mode off of cr. mp.
What should I do to get the combo off more consistently?
you canât do it off of cr. mp unless it is a counter hit, you can do it off of far st mp, an easy sweep combo cr lk, st lp sweep. in that combo you can add a st mp to sweep, and you can add a cr. lp then st lp then mp and sweep
Is any of Kenâs overheads able to combo [besides counterhit]?
I donât think so. IIRC f+HK is +1 or something on hit and I donât think b+MK combos into anything even on CH.
no disrespect, Iâm still a novice with ken but whats wrong with doing a shoryuken when you have the opportunity to? is it looked down on?
good stuff man, ima use some of that stuff. looks good.
haha another thing too is my friend calls me a scrub for doing heavy shoryu against his balrog when he dash punches, i catch him maybe 9/10 of time. I can understand though that answering with shoryu to a dash punch can make hiim bait me, but i try to mix it up as much as possible, my biggest problem right now is being unpredictable.
you can throw dash punches if you want to mix up what your doing.
Yes. This is a very simple question dude.
Kenâs sweep has 7 frame start-up, therefore it will combo from any move that gives you at least +7.
These are:
cl.st.lp
far.st.lp
far.st.mp
cl.st.mk
Any other moves will require a counterhit of some kind in order to combo. cr.mp is usually +4 on hit for example but goes up to +7 on a counterhit.
This really doesnât need itâs own thread. Please use the very active âgeneral questions and answersâ thread please.

i have a question for ken playersâŚwhy does no one use ultra 2? isnât it possible to combo it from FADC after a fireball? kinda new to this ken.
you can but u kinda need to be somewhat close, isnt a 100% for sure thing, its a lil easier with an ex fb.
you can also confirm it off a air ex tatsu too.
but u1 has more set ups even tho it doesnt do the full ultra. unless its counter hit then itâll do the full ultra
Question for Ken players.
- Iâm having trouble with FADC U1 full hit any tips on that one?
2.Does anyone know any good Kara setups/mix-ups with Ken?
Its 4AM so please excuse me if I am giving false/bad information.
- Level 3 Focus, dash forward taunt 1, immediately fp.shoryu FADC into U1.
- For Kara grab, shoryu, hadouken, or focus?
Personally, for kara grab, I love doing cr. short, cr. jab walk back a little and grab their crouch tech.
For kara focus, I usually use it when I notice that my opponent really wants to hit me when i whiff something, so i just kara focus and they think i whiff a move, hit my focus, then I just release and probably will get a crumble on them.
I havent really found a good use for kara shoryu/hadouken so I cant give my opinion on that.
I think its because U1 just has so many more ways of landing it then U2.
thx man.
the following is also possible: raw ex fb, cr.lp, cr.hp xx srk
if you pack a FA3 in front, youâll get slightly more damage than FA3 cl.st. hk xx ex srk
utilizing this is kinda hard though, doing 2 1-frame links back to back. iâd rather do the easy ones.
To add: kara fpshoryu has great uses in ch setups such as⌠Cl.mk, after cr.short or cr.jab, and after a step kick on block or hit. Just to catch an opponents crouch tech. And one more use for Kara fpshoryu is when the opponent tries to jump in on you from a great distance. Which gives you an anti air fpshoryu where you can fadc to full ultra.
Now for Kara hado: uses are mainly in fireball wars mid to full screen away just to help get in.(ie. Sagat, guile, ryu, evil ryu, etc.)
Ex fireball(which now gives +3 on hit because of one frame less recovery) combos only work when the enemy has his back all the way to the edge of the screen after a cr.mp.
Easy setup to get to the situation is putting the enemy in the corner with back throw, or step kick pressureâŚ
really? damn i never knew that. Iâm gonna practice it in training mode. Is the timing strict?
