SF6 Ken: Most Optimal Jinrai Kicks 

This wasn't a video I had planned or wanted to do, optimisation in 6 are hard due to the mechanics and the way scaling works. I didn't focus too much on Drive Rush in this video but there are some key concepts and routes which are worth learning / understanding

fantastic video. Will have it on repeat over the next few days.

The best Ken teacher I have seen in my life!

Nice work, thanks

bro i feel like you just unlocked so much ken shit when he was starting to feel like he was figured out. hats off

Love all of this. Now to make it even more complicated. Mid screen OD Jinrei into lvl 2 super, you get more damage off of OD Jinrei light than the full 3 hit extension!

I been trying to put jinrai kicks together & i only got one set up, Needed this!

revisiting some of these videos to sharpen my game , great info time after time

Hey Rush G. Solid video. I've been playing Ken for a while in low MR so most of this I'm familiar with just from labbing, but this was nicely organized to explain all the different routes. One thing I'm not sure if you're trying to avoid, but I was hoping for some Input on what you think are the best routes to take. For example I typically keep it simple with the OD Jinrai into an mk Jinrai Hk follow up into dp or super since it's the best damage to meter spend, and theres an easy route into all 3 supers so it's relatively simple to determine the route I want to take mid combo. I feel like I want a bit more of what you think you should be doing or at least your recommendation, although I understand if you're trying to just be objective about the combo routes

Thank you for sharing! I'm looking for more optimal combos to conserve my gauge. Hopefully, I will hit the Diamond soon!

Yeah when I was testing this, the situations where you can connect dp off of OD jinrai overhead, sometimes being able to 3 OD sometimes 2, so confusing. And hard. And so many things destroy your damage it's tough to decide what combo is worth.

It’s funny when we all bitch at a character so much we master the match to humiliate whoever picks it, like Jimmy doing an Anti-Ken guide 😂

Good work! Could you make a guide on Ken's footsies and pressure in particular - how do you sequence lights in the corner, at what distance etc.? I know this is a less glamorous topic, but as a D2 Ken I'm struggling to open up opponents and I get blown up on offense in the corner more than I should.

Hey rush I’m looking at inputs for cancelling light jinrai into level 3 and I just don’t really see what you are doing or when you begin the cancel of the light grounded jinrai to level 3. Being new to sf the thing I struggle with most is converting to level 3 off of something like low jinrai. Any tips here? Are you double qtr circle punch after you see the light grounded jinrai hit? I hate how supers are my biggest issue, really a confidence killer in a set 😢

Men, do this is hard, but when you do this in teh right way, damn is fucking good hahahah.

Of course the grounded and juggle OD jinrai enders would be different. They definitely want to you to feel the sadness when you mix them up in the moment.

common RushG W

Do you use hitbox ot stick? If its stick what king of plate do you use? Octogonal or square?

How are you cancelling into super so quickly after the HK (following Jinrai)? Playing on pad (I think you are too) and I cannot ever land the super because I'm too slow with the input. I'm trying to get the input in as early as possible, but the super always whiffs.

Can you do the first combo with Modern Ken??

Best content for Ken frfr

I know you loved doing those 3 OD jinrai's into those supers! You can't fool me I'm going to have to rewatch this to keep it fresh so I can add more stacks to my offense 👍great vid brother , enjoy the weekend!!!

For some reason I haven't been able to cancel one jinrai into another one..I can't figure out how to do it. I am a master rank with 1650 MR but I still don't know how to do it.

Hey Rush, quick question. Is that a real controller on the bottom of the video? I want one

If you land the PC DI in the corner neutral jump HK > HK jinrai > LK > LK Jinrai > LK > HP DP is 3150 vs 3070 if you start with crouch HP. Pretty much applies to any Jinrai combo coming from PC DI in the corner, even triple OD Jinrai kicks still works despite the bounce from neutral jump HK. The raw unscaled damage of a crouch hp is 800 while a neutral jump HK is 900.

I’m not sure about this but after de HK jinrai>LK follow up instead of doing another jinrai you can do a double LP DP and always do more damage (it not works in wall splat situations)

What's his most optimal combo after a punish DI mid screen?

What about the 60ish% combo you can get from jump hk > C.HP > H Jinrai > LK > OD Jinrai > HK > OD Jinrai > MK > MK > LVL 3 Super

Can you make one for modern?

Are you buffering inputs?

Why do everything in punish counter?

Thanks for explaining Ken! Can you tell me which Controller you use? It's a Hori I can see that but which one exactly? thx

I'm not going to lie, I cannot for life of me get the first optimal combo. My HK Jinrai after the c.HP keeps whiffing

technically not first :(

lol, the amount of work to do this versus the damage reward you get is pointless. Only Ken fans enjoy this .
