HOW TO PLAY AGAINST KEN - CHARACTER GUIDE 

"don't go to burnout" )

My favorite part is at 10:05 when he says dragonlash is "only +1" and since you can jab a throw attempt then it's a mixup for ken as well 🤡

@@curupa66 what he probably meant is that it's not a guaranteed throw/strike mixup due to spacing, and Ken has to risk to get a grab there, so it's not as one-sided as "real" strike/throw 50/50s are, which is true. But i'm 99.9% that if it was jp he was talking about, it'd be something like "omg it's cheapest thing ever, nerf this guy" 😂

Imagine if diago was really the best ken in the world but just holding back till he got to capcom cup final

@@ForbiddenLinkshe better stop holding back cuz he isnt even in it

Haha what if he's teaching counters but he has counters to those counters

​@@larstu3673like in Jade Empire

Posted just before Singapore Premier, SHET,NO TIME TO PRACTISE.

While other characters are like "ex is plus, other versions are punishable", ken has a whole flowchart on how to behave against a single special move

why? they don't seem to know that there is a shortcut to go back to the first page...

Seems fast

@@dejdit is

He went over basic fundamentals that most already new about. Nothing genius about it really, just straight up facts.

you have to make them guess all the time

Most Japanese players actually do this, especially back in sf5 they’ll share tech with other players then surprised them with counter tech that forced them to find counters, pretty smart tbh.

Dude encouraged you to jab ken after dragonlash

LOOK AT THIS 👀

No it’s not . He’s saying the Ken is +1 and his jab is 4 frames . Throw is 5 . So the jab and throw come out on same frane

Delay jab covers light & medium Jin rai. Ken gets hit doing light. Your jab doesn’t come out if he does the medium. You only really need to listen for heavy.

@@Duppy-tq4mg It's still a huge amount of work when compared to other cast members. Other characters are like "ex is plus, otherwise it's punishable". Then ken has "you have to listen to what he says and do delay jab to either interrupt him or eat a counterhit combo". There's no single move in recent FG history that the best tip you have is "listen for the sound cues!!!!"

@@Duppy-tq4mg I will need big "Press X to doubt" on this one. There's a gap of 5 frames on Ken's light Jinrai into low-followup, and there's only 1 frame gap on medium. If you delay your jab by 1 frame - you'll punish light Jinrai, but will still get hit by medium. If you delay your jab by 2 frames - you'll block medium Jinrai, but you'll trade with light. And that trade won't be in your favor, because Ken will be +10 after that. So no, delaying a jab is not an option.

Just drive impact the jinrai if they always mash it

​@@curupa66lmao you're so wrong on that. There are plenty of moves that rely on sound cues, the problem is that you only play SF6. There are far more degenerate moves in other games than Jinrai

yooo same here, that’s funny

​@@dogABbruh same lol

Yeah that was news to me too. In Super Turbo, Ken had a similar trick called “juice kicks” that you could use offensively. Really funny to see he has it kinda in this game too. Pay attention to his inputs, he tiger knees the motion, so that’s something to practice!

nah I shut ken’s down with Guile

jinrai kicks

Good point kens ability to convert into super in general is really high

I was thinking the same thing, She has to hold so much extra pressure and her punishes don't hit as hard either.

Honestly just play someone else. The character is bad and boring at every level, opponents are gonna bully you regardless.

@@RenanRF77 I find her fun she just needs some buffs to give her better options.

​@RenanRossignattideFranca yeah I find her fun as well. I am just hoping for a small tweak to make her better. I hover around 1620MR and I know it is also a skill issue, but I struggle to get any higher because of the amount of Kens and JPs that are around

I agree she needs adjustments but for now she's all about the od condor spire and has little going beyond that... But until she does get them, I can't imagine playing her. I feel like sf6 can be frustrating on its own, by playing a character I believe in I'm at least objective about my losses instead of making excuses and can enjoy the game more.

😆

Yeah, in other words the move is still way too good. And that's on top of an already great character and moveset.

that's basically every move in a fighting game. You, as the player, just do stuff and your opponent has to react to them or he loses. Counterplay is always way harder because it requires good reflexes, labbing and space awareness. Ken is still pretty degenerate, I especially hate playing against Kens on Modern control because I know the person behind the controller has no idea about any of the fundamentals and just wants to spam the special move button, but learning is part of the game and let's be honest, if you really put in the effort and lab him, you'll start losing braincells by how easy it would be to stomp those Kens in ranked, since they were never exposed to having to adapt to playstyles. They just want to spam Jinrai into drive impact and cheese out wins with EX DP

Deejay would like a word with you

The Ken Lily match tilts me a lot, The Ken player has so many powerful options and can ex dp their way out of trouble.

LMFAO you aren’t even wrong about Lily that’s the sad part

Drive rush Dee Jay & Juri. JP’s amnesia.

@SpiteHook his just cool? Deejay as a whole is way more than Ken bro let’s be real

Try St lp not saying it’s a guarantee but I’ve hit a few of them with that just as a check for the low version and it’s a frame faster then st LK

I shed a tear every time I see blanka pop up on ranked...

It's true. We were doing a group cab queue and a Master Blanka showed up. Did stuff I've never seen before. Blanka is actually kinda insane, and since he's not the most popular character, he still has surprises for a lot of us.

Not sure who you are playing but heavy versions of DPs go slightly more forward. If you got a 6f you can interrupt between the 1st & 2nd hit. Chun lee’s DP might miss regardless though.

@@Duppy-tq4mg I play Juri and her DP goes FAR. It’s 6 fr start up but even with Ken being -7 at some ranges it won’t connect on the first frame and he’ll be safe. It’s happened to me more than three times 😂

Cammys easy to fight just block the strike and tech the throw, and just perfect pairy spinning knuckle 😊 (I'm trolling(

He makes this “huu” sound. I would recommend taking Ken to training & trying them out yourself.

Being minus 4+ didn't always mean you're punishable. If the backlash takes you out of range of a 4 framer, then it's still safe.

If done from something like low forward at max range Ken's OD dp is not guaranteed . It just works more often than not.

Thats something I didn’t know, thanks buddy

If I ever get a perfect parry combo I always use it for positioning and Oki

Nah, if you manage to out range the grab you're still going to get clipped by 2MK. Entire video is essentially "Just don't get hit and guess right every time, EZ"

@@Boss_Corgi imagine not playing a character with a dp... couldnt be us

@@Grimmjow994 Even with a DP, it's an awful stopgap; you're trading almost 3 bars (2 for the OD DP and at least 0.5 for blocking the pressure string into Jinrai) while the Ken loses a small amount of health. Any Ken would gladly let you burn yourself out if you rely too much on DP for Jinrai pressure.

Jp is the strongest now dude i'm not saying ken bad but for me i but them in same tier

@@ltCouldBeUsone does hurr durr brainless offense the other sits full screen and don’t let you play the game both def are fcked up imo

@@ShizuSan69 hurr durr 😂😂😂 yeah i agree
