Yep. I fought lilsicx66 and he gave me a few pointers such as improving my footsies, throw more, and do higher stun combos. Easier said than done, but I’ll work on it. As for Slimztheguy, he said he’d do a set with me and after fighting lilsicx66, I already feel more skilled.
@ryuniku yeah bro i’m still gonna play u i havent forgotten about you. i’m getting my stick modded and im transitioning to the new xbox 360[Dope as fuc* btw!!]. i’ll be on later today so just shoot me an invite and or i’l send you one.

@Lilsicx66 shit bro I’m on that same mission but yeah most def if u see me online shoot me an invite. evo is gonna be the shit this year
excellent footsies…I like the sneaky kara throws too…I love the fact that you can actually use ken’s FB now. I was watching that set you did with that gouken where you came back and won the ft10. I was wondering wth is lilsix doing? lol…Then I realized it was vanilla and how much slower your FB was compared to Gouken’s.
Nice use of S.RH gainst gief too, I only use step kick low forward and mp for poking, I’ll definitely have to add that one in.
Btw–I’m much better now versus a few of the big guys (Sagat/T.Hawk/Gouken) tks to you. I empty jump a LOT!!! lol…such a great way to mix-up.
I gotta ethernet cable hooked up so maybe we can have a decent connection. I’m also online as Jabriel87…See ya round bro.
thx omni ive ben training hard and the footsie fireball and anti airs are on point option selcts too so right now im cencentrating on taking out bad habits stayn calm under pressure and auto correcting bad jumps when its not on wakeup
I just played a game in which I only used throws vs a Guy player:

I still find it quite hard to use kara throw with the PS3 pad,so I only used normal throws.
Ken vs Chun,Dudley and Rufus:

I know… I was thinking about paying monthly for XBOX Live but I forgot I don’t have the game lol.
I’m going to EVO too. I’ll see you there.
Yo Joon, I hear you’re the man to talk Ken with on the PS3. I’m looking to level up, maybe get some pointers in the way of mirror matches (don’t have any means of recording yet, so I can’t just post a vid for critique). No idea how our connection would be, though, as I’m UK - but if you could help a brotha out or maybe suggest a great UK Ken player or something that’d be fantastic.
Anyway, peace man

Ok,
I’ve decided to finally show everyone how much worse my “actual” game is compared to my theory fighter skills.
I’ve recently purchased a TE Fightstick and felt like cataloging and analysing my improvements over time. I’ve had the stick for probably about a month and have had 4 online sessions with it against actual opposition as oppossed to the CPU.
I’ve only just worked out that I can get these vids on youtube and so I’m gradually gonna post my vids here.
I’d love some constructive feedback on my play, so please say what you think…
Here goes:
1st ever ranked match on the stick (first evening of stick usage against real people):

2nd week on the stick. Best opponent I managed to find that week. (He beat me 3 - 2 overall):

[media=youtube]Q-TC9SYzN68[/media]
(Losing bouts to follow. I just couldn’t stomach recording any more Abel at the time…)
3rd week on the stick. Starting to get more confident with where my fingers are and experimenting a bit more:
[media=youtube]CfYwTOPleVs[/media] 1 of 8
[media=youtube]6UidyTrpuY8[/media] 2 of 8
I’ll upload some more tonight and tomorrow. The rest of the set with the Hulikko guy was good fun.
I’m still not quite up to the standard I was on the pad but my plinks, kara throws, and option selects are WAY better. My inputs and motions are worse still right now and I’m having trouble with my timing every now and then (it is quite noticeable in the vids when I drop a combo from a cr.lk, cr.lp > no follow-up etc).
Feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thx, but my internet connections terrible. I can only play people within my state (California). You should check out this thread for other Ken players:

If you can manage to post a video, we will be glad to help you out.
Good stuff G77. Solid Kara Throws and execution. One thing I did notice was that you were avoiding Footsies. Against Ryu, you should be standing outside of his Sweep but within Ken’s FS. HK. In this range, you can punish Ryu’s whiffed C. MP/C. MK/C. HK and punish his FB with Focus > Forward Dash or just Focus Attack his extended arms. Abel’s best pokes are his FS. LK and F+MK Step Kick. They both have similar ranges. C. MP outside their ranges work really well against him.

Cheers Joon.
I think my major lack of footsies will be a recurring theme within a lot of my matches. I definitely need to work on them. Just watching back the footage as I uploaded them, I was amazed at how much I just tend to walk backwards at the slightest hint of aggression from the opponent.
More vids to come soon hopefully…
No worries. Even if you lose try practicing Spacing and Footsies online. I’m still working on mine, but I definitely saw myself improving with those 2 skills alone.
nice matches G77. joon is on the money though, i thought the same thing. i can see your tendencies, you like to walk backwards so that you can get into step kick range. basically you just need to work on your footsies for close combat. nice kara throws :tup:

Wow, nice Ken Jinty! Your Cross-up LK Tatsu is on point. You did really well against Ryu and Sagat, but I noticed that you struggled a lot against Chun-Li. Her best normal is her Sweep (1.785). For that match-up, your goal is to stay outside of that (Ken’s FS. HK: 1.812) and stay around Ken’s Step Kick range. Her only way of getting in is Forward Jump, Forward Dash, and Hazanshu. You should be able to punish Hazanshus with Focus > Forward Dash > C. LP on reaction. If you block EX SBK, you should punish with reversal U1 or Sweep > Safe Jump follow-up.
P.S. I’m really surprised to see so many good Ken players here.

Thanks for the tips man I appreciate them. I’ve been having trouble with Chun’s recently and I got lucky in that match because he throughout that random Ultra. And I have now been punishing EX SBK with Ultra now but didn’t know you could sweep too. Have you got any advice on Dee Jay, Rose and Vega? I’ve been having trouble with these characters lately.
