The Street Fighter V Lounge: Tron Bonne rumored as DLC

I got 2 games off Snake Eyez in SF4 in a MM and almost got him to 3-3 before he downloaded me and destroyed me.

So suuuuuuuuuuuuuck it.

Don’t link that poison here.

I’m not even trying to claim that I’m on Tokido’s level or anything like that, but if you are trying to dismiss me as ā€œbadā€ because I am trying to point out that Ken’s s.HK is not an abusable button in a given match up then I’ll be happy to tell you to shove it.

In the heat of a real match against where both players are moving a shit ton to trying to bait out a button press, it’s difficult to space things exactly which is what you have to do to make Ken’s s.HK safe. And the problem is the reward for Ken’s s.HK is only good on counter hit or if you have V-Trigger. Just hitting with it is not good enough. Yet the risk for whiffing it against Vega is usually 25% of your health and Vega gets to put you in a mix up. That’s not a consistent game plan in the least.

You can abuse s.HK if the Vega player is playing with the claw on because Vega can’t punish it as well even if you screw up your spacing, but claw off means that you have to hit it perfectly at the max range to keep it safe.

Fuck I just realized that @PVL_93_RU is actually fucking Russian!

Like this nigga actually says Vahdka and Ogon’ po gotovnosti!

Like he actually has a Russian accent. Jesus fuck!

Nigga, you Russian lawd!!!

Did he talk with the Cammy after he lost?

What if the conversation went like this…

LoyalSol: I really believe Ken can have his troubles in the matchup vs Vega. If you use Dantarion’s hit box collision checker you can research and visually see that there are a lot of Vega to Ken interactions where Vega virtually wins. Unless my Ken can play a strong neutral where he never jumps and slowly pushes Vega to to the corner, I have to play very modestly.

Evil Canadian: I believe your analysis has strong points, although there are some glaring faults. Ken’s s.HK is a lot harder to whiff punish than you are supposing. Especially in the heat of battle with the threat of crush counter into heavy damage. It forces us Vega players to be a bit more respectful. On top of that Vega’s anti air game is rather suspect and once you get a ken that starts going yolo with the air tatsus that can be an issue. I also don’t have a reversal vs a character as offensively powerful as Ken.

Veserius: You’ll have to excuse me as I will add a bit of conjecture during this. Just wanted to point out that Vega’s j.MK can stop a lot of the normal jump angles for Ken. I don’t think you all are great at the game so I just wanted to throw this out there to help build insight and slightly stronger players out of you.

**LoyalSol: Ok, great thanks! I will say Evil Canadian that yes Ken’s air game can be an issue if you aren’t great with all of your options. Vega should actually be small enough to duck under the air tatsu options and EX tatsu you can just wait to block and burns a meter any way. Think of it like waiting out Bison’s EX DR’s.

Evil Canadian:
This is interesting. I will have to experiment with this. I like that you posted specific videos to look over. I can clearly see Ken’s feet barely grazing Vega’s beautful hair and Vega still being safe with maybe even a punish opportunity. I still feel this matchup can be a struggle, but I see the options.

LoyalSol: Yes, there will be a definitely struggle for Ken as well, but you are right in that if I get my momentum going I can make it not so bad.

Evil Canadian: I guess we could call this a 5 5 matchup and base it on Vega’s neutral vs Ken’s momentum evening things out.

LoyalSol: Correct. Although I loathe Vega and think everything about the character is rather cheap and egregious, I will hold that shit for a second and concede that over time I will see this matchup and the character as more honest.

EvilCanadian: Yeah I love Vega. Ok this was fun have a great day.

Loyal Sol: You too Evil!

That kumbaya shit don’t work in srk.

It’s a ā€œfightingā€ game forum for a reason. People have competitive mindsets here and the want to lambast ones opponent with ones opinions, be they well reasoned or not, is strong.

Who wants to play?

That’s SRK Bratva right there. B)

But it really went like dis:

@ā€œEvil Canadianā€

I mean even if things got a little bit heated there it was still a more interesting and informative exchange than 90% of the discussions we have here.

But now it’s over, so bring back the memes.

Good idea bro, ill pass it on to combofiend.

Twinblades like 27 calling other people in their 20’s old, brah
