…Is not a Rain Man-esque joke character.
Make him not noob friendly…lol
Make him and Ryu look asian? lol… or is Ken not asian anymore now that he has blue eyes and seems to be turning 100% white?
:rolleyes:
Ken’s super is useless. Does anybody think he needs a different super?
His super is actually pretty damaging. Its not like it is useless, but no ken saves EX. We need Ex for him so I’m prob not gonna be using it anyways.
Idc if the super stays lol. Although a better one I guess would be cool, but then again Ken doesnt have that much supers/moves left to use otherwise.
Ken’s Super isn’t outstanding or anything, but there are definately worse Supers out there. If Kens didn’t use so much meter they might have learned to like it the way it is.
(that’s not preaching, just avoiding saying he has to use meter, which isn’t necessarily true)
For a while I played Meterless Ken (outside of EX Tatsu combos) to save specifically for super, since it did 400+ damage and made smart opponents play dumb because I could mash it out of dropped combos. (c fierce, fierce shoryu, cancel on first hit comes out like butta) and do about half a health bar.
Ken’s super isn’t bad, it’s just if you’re smart it’s not accessible.
since when was ken asian?
Ken’s always been whiter than white. He used to be kind of tan, but he’s been very American (fuck yeah) since the beginning of time.
i think his ult could use some tweaking. I rarely see his ult used in high lvl play. Not impossible to land but it’s a lot harder to connect than the high tier chars
Ken is actually part japanese… idiots.
ken was HALF Japanese in the cartoon which is not cannon, i believe as far as the story that is being followed ATM ken is completely of European decent. his eye color has waffled through out the games but in SF4 they are blue.
but anyway i hope Ken gets his long hair back from Alpha, i think it would make him stand out more amongst the shotos.
Yeah, I was under the impression that Ken’s grandfather was an american business man, making him 3/4th Japanese. And that Ken dyes his hair, hence the black eyebrows.
Doesn’t make him any less American though. Aside from the time he spent training with Gouken and Ryu in Japan, he both grew up and still lives in America with his family.
i main ryu. but i would love to see ken improved.
- walking and dash speed
- better ultra juggle options
- faster sweep
Really… everyone is bitching about Ken, yet I really don’t see a problem with him aside from his ultra doing crap damage after Shoryu->FADC. But the problem is how much. People say as much as Ryu. But you got to remember, you got to program the damage and the scales for each hit in the attack. So that is where the problem lies. I’d say scale the damage for the ShinRyuken straight into the air to about 1.5x for each hit. But 2x will be WAY too much. Everything else is okay. I find him very usable. He is a close range zone character. Ryu is more of a long range zone character. The reason why Ken was so good in 3rd strike was really because of parrying.His dash was cool, but REALLY, if you think about it, you have to worry for that calculated wild card parry at all times and because of that, people would fear Ken’s close range game and might slip up and Ken could throw the low forward into super. BUT… he does have a better mix up game in this, especially against tall players. He is just a small bit slower. That’s all. But like I said, that can be made up if Shinryuken’s damage is improved. His normals are already (zone wise) better than Ryu’s. Sure Ryu has a faster C. MK, but does he have F. MK or F. HK like Ken’s? Or how about cross over Ex Hurricane Kick mixups against tall people? Just a few thoughts.
Ken needs cornrows.
That’s what I figured, thanks.
ken’s perfect. I beat flowchart ryu’s all the time with him.
