(3rd strike) Basic Ken combos

Notation:
cr. crouching
cl. close and standing
far. far and standing
x means to cancel.
, means to link/wait for the previous animation to resolve
~ means to kara cancel (A ~ B would mean do A, then in the very next frame do B)
(A/B) means that either A or B are valid in that step of the combo
TC means cl.MP x cl.HP (target combo)
kara shoryken means (cr.MK/cr.HK) ~ LP shoryuken
List of double shoryuken combos:
(taken from baston.esn3s.com/ )
The shoryuken version is always LP
Midscreen:
TC x shoryuken, shoryuken
Q
(cl.MP/cr.MK) x shoryuken, shoryuken
Necro, Elena
cl.HP x shoryuken, kara shoryuken
Chun Li, Makoto, 12, Necro
(cl.MP/cr.MK) x shoryuken, kara shoryuken
Ken, Ryu, Akuma, Sean, Chun Li, Makoto, 12, Necro, Urien
Corner:
TC x shoryuken, shoryuken
Ken, Ryu, Akuma, Sean, Chun Li, Makoto, 12, Necro, Urien, Elena
TC x shoryuken, kara shoryuken
Remy, Ibuki, Hugo
cl.HP x shoryuken, kara shoryuken
Yun, Yang, Oro
Needless to say, if you can do TC or cl.HP into double shoryuken, then things like cr.MK work as well.
If a character is at the top of the list, then all things below should work as well.
The punish combo showcased on Urien was TC x MP shoryuken x SA3. Be aware that TC x MP shoryuken doesn't normally combo, however it works vs crouching Urien for some reason.
Re-upload because I forgot to add the last slide/clips.

Something worth noting, at MAX range, cr mk xx EX hadouken won’t combo. It’s weird yes, but it’s something that is important for learning what spaces Ken can effectively punish at. Also, Lp dp > Kara EX dp is a possible combo, though it is character specific so I’m not surprised you didn’t include it since this seems to be more of a BNB based video, I do think it’s worth tinkering with when you get better though. Everything you covered was great overall, just some nitpicks of mine.

[@Swampson1738]

Never really thought about midscreen Dp, sa3 or dp, dp, sa3 in the corner. Might try it out in matches

OMFG i knew some stuff about kara cancel but i though LP Shoryuken kara cancel was just inputing LP Shoryuken fast, big respects man you opened a new world for me thanks

How do I use shoryuken in combos? Like a good shortcut?

[@Unit_00]

I dont use shortcuts. It's not that hard, just practice your muscle memory

[@paletapayasofan]

Idk if this is exactly what you need help with but for target combo into light shoryuken specifically, hold the forward input while inputting medium punch and heavy punch and right when you see the heavy punch animation start up then do the quarter circle forward motion and immediately press jab to get that combo

[@chetov3162]

can we confirm with MK as we can do with MP ???tnx

[@Unit_00]

It's in the video. It's possible but really really hard, you must react within 12 frames (only actually doable if you are playing with minimal input lag and use something like the health/stun/score to confirm, as those have a very clear and instantaneous visual change). Otherwise you can just do crouch MK to try and see if by the time you pressed MK they did some animation, like a dash or an attack. If this happens you get an easier reaction, something like 18 frames or so.

[@Unit_00]

anyway, this hitconfirm is kind of advanced, you are better off just using the other ones if you struggle with the cr MK one.

[@chetov3162]

@@Unit_00 waw tnx bro so it is possible possible i use MK confirm only when i try to anticipate move whe he dash or somting like thakt but never confirme when i attack

How to do ex moves please reply

[@georgegkoumas5026]

Not all specials have an EX version but for those who do it's the same as the normal special move input but instead of one punch/kick button you have to press 2 or more at the same time (can be a little hard but you can get used to it), for example EX Shoryuken is the usual Z input + LP,MP,HP together (or LP,MP LP,HP MP,HP if you want to use 2 buttons because it's hard to time it with 3), also people usually bind a button of their controller to be all 3 punches and one to be all 3 kicks so they can just press this one button to do an EX move. Useful notes: EX moves are faster than the Heavy version of the move but they look identical to it in the animation (but faster and yellow), and usually do more hits and/or damage or other effects (Ken's EX Shoryuken does 4 hits when HP Shoryuken does 3, Chun Li's EX Kikoshou travels all the distance when the non EX versions have limited lifespan, Ryu's EX Joudan Shokoto Geri makes the enemy bounce on the side of the screen that allows him to make some combos when the non EX versions just push the enemy away) Even if Ken and Ryu have EX Shoryuken, Hadoken and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, Akuma can't do any of them and he doesn't have EX moves in general Fun fact: Ryu doesn't have Sakunetsu Hadoken as a special and Sinku Tatsumaki Senpukyaku as a super in this game but they replace his EX version of Hadoken and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku Chun Li has an EX version of Hyakuretsu Kyaku even if it has no directional input which sounds weird since people don't think it as a special because of it More fun fact: Yes I am a Nerd, Yes that's pretty much all I know, Yes I have no life, Yes I am bored, Hope that helps :D

[@ujwalbhagwat9903]

@@georgegkoumas5026 Thanks for your guide

[@Unit_00]

@@georgegkoumas5026 EX moves are not defined by looking like the heavy version of the special but being faster. Take for example Makoto's qcf punch. The EX version is the slowest one. And take for example Urien's EX tackle or Ryu's EX tatsu, they look quite different from the hard version of the special. EX moves are just supposed to be superior in some way to regular specials. They may have a few advantages over the regular moves: faster startup, better invincibility, more damage, better combo potential, better safety, or something like that. The thing is that it doesn't have ALL of these things at once. Makoto's EX dashpunch stuns more, deals more damage and has better combo options vs grounded opponents, but it isn't faster, it is the slowest one.
