With so many numbers flying around, it can be easy to overcomplicate it. The one thing that I would suggest if you really want to understand how to use frame data is to get into training and do these setups for yourself while paying attention to the frame meter. Feel free to ask any questions you have and I'll do my best to answer here.

How many times have you seen Blanka simply hop out of the corner? Or Chun Li just be allowed to use df HK? And Blanka Rainbow balls are you serious? I've seen that used 0 times when being pressured in the corner. The only one that's actually similar is Cammy. And it's not even like that's his only corner escape. He still has air tatsu that can cross up into a full combo. And the throw change is anything but a nerf for the simple fact that everything that Ken "gets" is something he already has. He is objectively worse off in every way for it. He still has walk up throw loop yes but now it's walk up throw, he's spaced out but you could have simply walked back before, he's +1 after forward dash to be point blank which is simply a nerf and saying otherwise is copium. Not only does it mean you lose to button if you throw, it means you can't walk back to bait a throw and a reversal and you have to jump to shimmy a throw which depending on the matchup may lose to invincible reversal.
@RooK_X810 ай бұрын
Blanka hops out of the corner (and into it) all the time, even at high levels. Same with Chun-Li. And this is only scratching the surface of all the side-switching the cast can do. Don't front. You're so wrong about the corner throw, but fine by me if you think it's a nerf. Do you think you're more informed about the experience I'm having with it? Nobody cares about the OD air Tatsu.
@BlueLightningSky10 ай бұрын
All the time in high level play? Bullshit. These are high risk moves that can be caught by buttons. This is straight KDF down play propaganda. Meanwhile Ken can get normal jab into tc (which is already very privileged in this game) into side swap. And this isn't even his most offensive corner escape he still has air tatsu that punishes anti airs. Which apparently people do care about enough because Capcom nerfed it but according to you nobody cares about it. Tell me how exactly I'm wrong about the corner throw and it's not just your denial to accept Ken is getting nerfs? It is an objective nerf because everything he could do now he could do before by walking back unless you're telling me you already found something he could do now that he couldn't like a meaty fireball at that range in which case it's a net nerf. You know what's better than being +1 at point blank, being +20 at point blank. And you don't even need to dash, you still get a throw loop by walking forward.

It's on! One of us has an "I told you so" coming... I will just say that I agree that using ranked results alone isn't enough to get the whole picture. That's why I included the Punk/Zhen match as well. There are a lot more examples of Ken getting smoked at the highest levels of play, but I like to keep my videos compact. Think about 7 Ken players going into Capcom Cup, and only 2 making it out... all the Ken players at LCQ got beat, too. I know I'm not the only one seeing this, but it seems like I'm the only one factoring it in. I agree that it'll be good to see other characters doing well, I just think they'll get buffs more than the top characters will be nerfed. I appreciate you taking the time to comment, fr. Just curious, who's your main?
