after the SA3 after blocking, there’s this cool vid that shows stuff you can counter after you block. I forgot where i got it from (karathrow.com??) but i’ll list the ones they show for the hell of it since i’m bored.
no reversal needed:
alex’s back+fierce, alex’s EX dashing slash thingy, hugo’s cr. forward, makoto’s cr. fierce, oro’s s. strong, urien’s shoulder dash, yun’s EX shoulder tackle, after some portion of yang’s EX mantis slash (gotta watch to vid for that one)
reversal needed:
hugo’s st. strong, ken’s stand roundhouse.
also, not on the vids were you can punish any shoto sweep with no reversal, and you can low forward reversal, but that one’s hard. peace!
Be careful about the crouching forward into super. You should only do that if you’re absolutely sure it will connect. You can be gay like all ken players and when you’re trapped in the corner just do a low forward and automatically do the super motion so that if they’re caught in it when they’re trying to rush you down you get a free super, because that’s a worthy risk compared to taking any damage they may do to you. Otherwise, you can’t just throw it out… I mean, if you do there’s never a guarantee as to whether it’s going to hit. The dashing low forward works sort of well, but that’s not a guarantee either for someone who reacts to your dash by blocking low.
Usually you’d get that thing to work if someone’s jumping in, and you dash under them and do it. Also if they do some long ass move that leaves them vulnerable you have plenty of time to stick it.
My advice is to not just throw it out unless you have no qualms with abuse and use it in the corner. Be careful since if they like universal overheads it’ll go right over it.
And the universal overhead into super works if you’re at the proper distance or if you time it early on their wakeup, it doesn’t just connect whenever, fool.
no, not every normal, i’m not sure with ken, but people have certain normals that’ll reset the people in the air and then you can hit them, but hitting someone with ken sa3 in the air is pretty useless anyways.
yea i was just wondering, in GENERAL…cuz i see curtis doing it all the time with hammy mountain…and i was wondering if i should watch out for it with against other characters (i.e ryu with shinku hadoken)
There are only three scenarios in which I can envision an air sa3 to be useful. And they all involve your opponent having little to no life.
In the corner, after you back throw, do SA3 immediately. You’ll hit them either one or two times.
In the corner, if you juggle two jab dps and they’re STILL not dead, just super cancel the last dp into super.
If you hit your opponent with jab dp, follow it up with SA3. It’ll juggle.
These strategies require a good deal of knowledge on just how much damage Ken inflicts on every opponent. Oh, and don’t worry about wasting super bar, at least you win the round, right? Besides, Ken builds it pretty fast. The alternative is to not do super and run the risk of your opponent coming back with little to no life and kicking your ass. Plus, you don’t have to try and chip which can also be risky.
Caveat: If Abel’s butt is grabbed at any time by any one other than a) Clarissa, or b) any cute asian women, the perpetrator will be punished to the highest extent of the back of my hand. If you, or someone you love is notorious for butt-grabbing, tell them not to put me in their crosshairs, or they won’t be going home.
That said, I haven’t practiced in ages. Feel free to kick my Dudley’s ass at will. kthx
What’s that? You haven’t practiced your aegis? What’s all this about dudley, then? Speaking for myself, I think it’s perhaps time to retire ryu when he gets beaten twice in a row by chris. At least put him on the shelf for a hella long time, or something.
Just a little fun off-topic: What is your favorite “The Simpsons” epsidoe?
Mine is the one where the Simpsons go to Japan. These scene just popped in my head, but I might not have the dialogue correct:
(After Homer and Bart are released from jail)
Lisa: Can we now please do something Japanese?
Homer: Oh, I’m sick of doing Japanese stuff. In jail, we had to be in the play of the 36th Ronin, and I want to be Oshi but they made be Yori.
Bart: Then we had to do three hours of flower arrangement, followed by two hours of origami and meditation.
Homer to Bart: (In Japanese) Should we tell them the secret to inner peace?
Bart to Homer: (In Japanese) No, they are foreign devils.
(In the fish shop, earning three cents per fish cleaned to earn money for airfare)
Bart: Finally, something that I was put on this Earth to do…knife goes in, guts come out; knife goes in, guts come out…
Magical Fish: I am a magical fish. If you spare my life, I wll grant you three wis…
Bart : Knife goes in, guts come out…
Magical Fish: Ahhhhhh!!! (dies)
(During the gameshow)
Host: If you don’t not answer this difficult question correctly, you can not win.
Homer: Is the answer Japan?
Host: (Looks at card) Yes. (Goes backstage and yells in non-Japanese)
The sumo scene was also hilarious, when he threw the emperor of Japan into the box of used sumo thongs then he and Bart got sent to jail for that.
i don’t really have a favorite simpson’s episode. I haven’t seen them for a while so i dont’ recall any specific lines…
but i do however remember this FRIEND’s episode, where rachel cooks some crazy dish and makes joey and ross try it…
it went something like this…
ross:it tastes like FEET!
joey:eating hmm…i like it.
ross:WHAT? how can you like this…this stuff…!
joey:well…it’s got pecans…mMm…it’s got custard…mMm…it’s got JAM!..MmMmm…and it’s got steak…MMmmMmMmM…what’s not to like?
ross:mouth opened in shock
bringing this up…i like to mention…
i sort of like corn…
i like cheese
i like ice cream
so yea…one day i was at albertson and i saw this corn and cheese flavored ice cream…and i was whoa…wtfuxor!?!
…6 month later…
i said “fuck it” i’m gonna buy it…and now i ahve it in my fridge…
i took one bite…
and it’s back in my fridge…
i may try it again when my stomach is 100% feeling fine…
describing it a little…it’s got cheddar cheese flavored ice cream(i try to imagine i’m eating cheesecake so i can swallow it down)…but then…it also has pieces of corn in it…yes…PIECES of it! so i actually have to chew it…
anyone want to try some?
PM me or go to albertson and go to the frozen food area(the row on the left side if when you come in from the entrance) and go the the very back of that row(it’s on ur right)
other delicious flavors that they have, besides the awesome corn and cheese are:
avocado
taro and coconut
red bean
and i think green tea
Hey Allen, I think all this hate towards you is caused by osmosis from the evil within Cha For Tea. Maybe its animosity has spread so that you can feel it even from zotzone or wherever everyone is posting from. Also, I think the only time Cha For Tea lets up on the animosity is during Christmas but we’re not even gonna be here, so there’s no hope for you, Allen.
