Didn’t Capcom say that Ken will get a new move or did I miss something? oO

seth mentions that ken is getting “something new” Nothing else has been mentioned on the subject since then.

Hard to figure out what he means

Coth_X · 2010-01-26T01:19:52.000Z

I suppose it depends on the interpretation. New to SFIV ken, that previous kens have had, or new to SFIV ken, that previous kens have not had. We think roll/crazy kicks.

If they go with previous ken’s then more than likely it would be roll, crazy kicks, or air throw.

If not a previous ken move, what if they give him a counter? slide? Some kind of jumping command normal, like headstomp or a dive kick (but not specifically a dive kick, just something that is activated like one.)

Who knows what crazyiness might happen.

I hope it’s not something stupid as Sagat’s “new” evasion move.

I would get so much hate mail from that taunt

Ok, I heard about this but I havent found any details, you mind explaining?

DHEvil · 2010-01-26T04:40:56.000Z

It’s Sagats’ Alpha taunt where he grabs his glowing chest scar with a smirk. It adds damage to his next Tiger Uppercut and, during the flash, is seemingly completely invincible. The move costs 1 EX stock.

hmmm, I guess it depends on how many frames the move is to even theorize if it could be abused

How long does this invincibility last? It could be very, very bad if it has too many active frames.

DHEvil · 2010-01-26T05:01:51.000Z

I don’t know how long it lasts, but the taunt itself is pretty short so the invul frames are obviously bound by this length. If he is invulnerable for the entire animation, though, that is very powerful.

its at 3:32…looks really fast so I am not to worried about it. Dhalsim is wiffing a grab at the exact same time so you kinda get the idea how long it is… ok…no more talk about sagat

so this update tonight, what time is it at? prays for some ken moveset reveal

Something I literally just noticed is at 2:10 dont u notice sim’s normal beat sagat’s throw? It looks like throws are more frames now…maybe like 4? What do you guys think?

It’s a taunt; not a move? Can he do this with different taunt?

I heard it’s suppose to be tomorrow, or tonight 12 AM? I’m assuming they’re going to confirm Makoto, Ibuki, Dudley, and Hakan.

I think it just whiffed because Dhalsim was in the air, but I do remember Capcom mentioned that they don’t like the current throw system in SF4. I hope they don’t change it… Kara Throw is all we got!

It looks like the “big” announcement was this: http://www.capcom.co.jp/blog/sf4/nakky_blog/2010/01/26_524.html

How disappointing.
