SF6 Ken: The important Season 2 changes 

We getting out of Bronze with this one

Ken at least didn’t get gutted like deejay

That chinbuster target combo nerf is mostly annoying because of muscle memory, now I gotta adjust this but it’s all good. My boy was spared luckily 😩

One big change is the extra 3 frames of advantage on run DP. That changes some meaty routes. The universal light scaling nerf also affects things like Ken's 2LP 5MP combo routes.

Gotta say a lot of the changes seem very fair. He still has a lot of what makes him strong/fun

Great breakdown, thanks. I think the cr.MK hitbox change was more to help whiff punish the harder to whiff punish moves from other characters. EDIT: nvm, I just read the patch notes. They specifically mentioned it was so it can now "hit opponents in a mid-air spinning juggle state" I also saw they made Heavy Jinrai knock the opponent away less on hit, and made the HK follow-up on all versions move forward more, so that means better combos in mid screen from all jinrai kicks. Curious if one can DR afterward to continue the combo more easily now. And Jinrai overhead kick now causes ground bounce when airborne opponent is hit, and gives more knockdown frame advantage. Should open up for more combo and oki opportunities.

Damn. Ken really dodge the nerf hammer didn’t he ? Enjoy one more season being top 5.

Appreciate you Rush. Do you have a video of how to approach Ed users?

Thanks Rush!

they nerfed chinbuster????

Hey Rush, since the knockback on heavy Jinrai changed, you can now do H.Jinrai into H.Shoryuken. I don't think it was that way before, and I don't think it's very useful but there it is :D

I really hope there are Chinese subtitles or someone can move the video to China's bilibili website and add Chinese subtitles. I really like watching this kind of detailed teaching video.

I'm a tekken 8 player and I'm new to sf6 the last time i played sf game was 20 years ago ,is ken worth picking now and is he a hard character in terms of execution ?

I don’t understand what makes ken so good you can just drive impact jinrai kick and compared to other characters his damage seems low and if they do a random run for over head you can attack it or drive impact the over head or normal kick. What makes him so good please explain

Hi Rush, I'm hearing that Ken now has better Oki after run DP. Have you got any new meaty setups that can be used after this move?

Why does everyone who makes these videos have to show Akuma as the one getting hit?

Nice Vídeo Man.

With these changes now his combos are cooler theres more Fire 🔥 moves.

Needed this so bad. Thanks goat!

Hey Rush! I discovered a little while ago that the faster startup on Run > DP means that under certain scenarios Ken can combo into it off of OD Jinrai > Heavy follow-up. For instance, Punish counter DI > j.HK > OD Jinrai > heavy follow-up > run DP deals ~3400 damage. I don't know how situational that combo is, but it does exist and is the most damage of off punish counter DI for only 2 drive (maybe, not entirely sure). It is also really stylish!

Chin Busted... -.-

You forgot to say that OD Dragonlash is not consistent no more cause they gave priority to Ken's Run, now if you do OD Dragonlash most of the time Ken gonna do the run. That’s a BIG ASS nerf

3:10 You're totally right this change was immediately felt. I personally thought they got rid of this route to super at first, took me like 5 minutes to figure out the timing is just crazy stricter. Good vid man thanks for the upload

Thanks, Rush. You're always my go-to 😎

EX-Jinri cant be combo into anymore? everytime I try to use it, run command keeps happening.

I want to know how the changes to run dp will affect slipping under projectiles.

couldn't wait for your video! Thank you!!!!

I was playing arcade i notice hits outfit wears out and changes colors and gets disoriented a bit not sure if they intentionally did this in season 2???

Much appreciated Rush, thx

Thought I was going crazy when my MP HP was not linking as usual

Needed this so bad. Thanks goat!

Thx Rush

Like in the trailer does he have the Stand Mid-K to Crouch Mid-K link or no?

I just want to know how to land a standing medium to crouching heavy punch Its super hard

First weak of sf6 i said dj is broken

I do like that you can now do after punish counter shk you can now do drive rush cmk while they're in midair into tatsu as another great corner carry option, and not sure if there are more combos off that one yet. I feel like that's another good change.

You missed one, in the corner with jenri you can do over head after first hit to get oki fireball 😔

Never wake up Sa1 anyway. Run Dp is a huge buff for me

So is level 1 still invicble on wake up to non-projectiles?

nice

I will definitely see wats too Ken wen I get off work low key worried 😦 but excited 😆 at the same time lol 😂

💪🙌👌

How do you feel about the run priority change? Ie if you do OD Jinrai, the run takes priority over it so u need to input a direction with the OD Jinrai ie b+hp, hcf 3xk

I am going to give you not only a comment but I like because you are the first person to post changes for Ken.

They better bring the old Ken Masters we know and love back. Because I don't like that SF6 Ken Masters version.

If I play modern does the medium punch into heavy punch(auto combo) fail now?

Ken is insufferable, why he even got trade off buffs I'll never understand

Admire how high quality you keep stuff despite how fast you churned it out
