5 Minute Guides : Ken | SFV Season 5 (Missing recent update)

[@kuta_kuma6456]

Us new players needed this, every video you look up is from 2016 lol so thank you for this!

[@gregmeli951]

The most clear and consie guide with actual inputs and not me trying to figure out the action by character motion, thank you 2 years later

[@how8132]

Seriously, your guides are the best. 5 minutes of combos with notations, time stamps and *no bullshit* 😁👍

[@mcknucklehead5722]

You cannot believe how much this combo guide helped me to my journey to bronze.... Thanks

[@vaper8824]

Just got into street fighter after leaving mk11 the learning curve is really tough this video made it better.

[@pkx402]

Same mk11 is awesome but the manual block did it for me it feels weird

[@Lulumix3000]

Left MK11 too, I couldn't stand the actual 50/50 on throws, teching feels so much better on sfv

[@oldscratch2506]

I too swapped from MK. I’ve been wanting to get into SF for a long time and this guide was spot on and to the point. The frame traps section alone really helped. Too bad I still suck, but I’ll get there!

[@DivX0X]

Great guide. Straight to the point. Any chance of an update video ?

[@diocrozier7282]

i got to super diamond watching this thank you xoxo

[@philipsalibo7641]

Mashing with ken got you to super diamond

[@djselles2086]

I really enjoy this :) keep it up 👍🏾

[@aaronpan5670]

can someone confirm if the medium combo at 0:53 still works? I can do the combo up until the spinning kick. please help!

[@FlightlessEsports]

It works just not when you are right in their face, it requires some spacing as shown in video. I don't suggest this combo, instead go for mk xx hk xx qcb hk/dp hp.

[@botd2606]

can you do akuma for next? this is really helpful ! thanks

[@FlightlessEsports]

Working on Cammy then Akuma!

[@memoriesofmercia3809]

Excellent guide. When and where would frame traps be useful??

[@FlightlessEsports]

Frame traps, or often called block strings, are used on offensive when you want to pressure your opponent. A frame trap means if they press a button of a certain strength inbetween it, they will get hit and you can go into a combo. Can be tricky but most characters have a light > medium frame trap, and when the medium hits you go into a combo.

[@tinytoasters3657]

I can’t do LK to DP HP to save the life of me 🙃 granted I’m new to SF but I’m having so much trouble . Any tips?

[@FlightlessEsports]

Try holding forwards when pressing LK, then move your stick or dpad to down forwards then back to forwards. This is a shortcut, but will get you a feel for how fast you needed to be. Remember when cancelling from light moves you need to be really fast! You'll get there, keep at it.

[@hesrizen1519]

SUPER AWESOME""" YOUR NASH GUIDE IS MY SAVIOUR!!! Loving ken too! Btw you plan on doing one for LUCIA in the future?

[@nahuelmotokosan2532]

I can't get any of the frame traps starting with LP or cr.LP into Standing MP the dummy always gets a jab in between, how are they supposed to work?

[@FlightlessEsports]

So there is a 4 frame gap between lp/crlp and crmp, and a 5 frame gap between lp/crlp and mp. Ken needs to abuse gaps and strings in his game plan, and you will normally start your frame trap with crmp into a light, or go light to light button for tighter frame traps.

[@justterrell956]

Sounds like your pressing buttons too slow. If your plus there is no way the dummy should beat you out on the jab. Or your using the wrong moves

[@liquidswordz27]

Great video but wat do some of the commands mean? Like QCF and DP

[@FlightlessEsports]

QCF stands for quarter circle forwards. You start from down input and rotate to forwards input, input down>down forwards>forwards. QCB stands for quarter circle back which is the same starting point of down, but you end up with a back input rather than forwards. DP stands for dragon punch. Start at Forwards, move to down and rotate to down forwards. This website will explain the notations visually. wiki.shoryuken.com/How_To_Perform_Fighting_Game_Motions You will see these notations like QCF, HCB(Half circle back), DP and more in all fighting games.

[@liquidswordz27]

@@FlightlessEsports thanks m8 that was a lot of help. Your vids are amazing

[@Ango825]

This is sick! but Im having trouble with the Light combos, the link from lights to Hdp seems impossible to me :,/

[@FlightlessEsports]

Light combos are some of the hardest in the game to be consistent at, and unfortunately it does take a bit of practice. But once you can get it down consistently it applies across every character in the game, especially with a dragon punch input! Eventually you won't need to tense up to get the combos, and you will have the muscle memory do it! Good luck!

[@Ango825]

@@FlightlessEsports thanks so much for the support. It really helps a lot. I'll keep practicing!

[@bas_65]

what does cr and lp mean

[@FlightlessEsports]

Hey Sebastian, cr stands for crouching and lp stands for light punch. You can see notations early on in the video.

[@godcamacho9858]

Why use M DP instead of H DP for anti airs?

[@FlightlessEsports]

M DP is Invincible to airborne strike attacks on frame 1 to frame 7, while HP DP is strike and projectile invincible on frames 3-6. This means as soon as the input for M DP is registered, you are invincible to air attacks and for double the amount of time HP DP is. This is the same for most characters with a DP.

[@how8132]

I shared your page on Reddit 😁

[@brandonrice1124]

Good luck getting these in matches all my opponents just block everything with ken unless i get them in a corner he does not have alot of mixups.

[@feri7mble]

I guess you came from DBFZ or something like that? No character in Street Fighter has true high-low mix-ups. Mixing up your offense is all about throws in these games. You have to make them think you're going to throw them to get a hit. Also making them think they can interrupt your blockstring and catching a walk back with a low are things you should think about.

[@brandonrice1124]

@@feri7mble I switched to akuma he has true mixups with the flip i feel like every character needs a kit like this i was a 56% player with ken now i am a 72% player with akuma to many people know kens attacks.

How do you do v trigger combos?

[@FlightlessEsports]

Pressing Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick to activate Vtrigger. A lot of the timings are quite tight so practice is important!

[@mikeperes2828]

@@FlightlessEsports right, what i meanis how do you do the shroryureppa? You did it durante the Vtrigger combos

[@mikeperes2828]

*during

[@mikeperes2828]

@@FlightlessEsports and how do u parry?

[@jacksonbradley6842]

@@mikeperes2828 Alright so I think the closest thing to Shroryureppa in SFV is Ken's EX Dragon Punch, his V trigger 2 is Shinryuken and the more you mash it the more hits come out. His Critical art Guren Enjinkyaku can often be hard to time precisely to hit especially after V trigger 2 combos. Ken also doesn't have a parry in SFV :(

[@kumaSOevl]

Why block? just fierce dragon punch instead - WiFi gold rank master

[@methanesulfonic]

I'm here because i'm too much of a scrub to play other characters lol

[@justterrell956]

How to play Ken. SHORYUKEN

[@THEVIGILANTEHD]

Hes a little one you forgot. In the corner: HK (CRUSH COUNTER) - VT1 - LP SHORYUKEN - LP SHORYUKEN - HP SHORYUKEN Massive damage and massive style points. Also HK is a really effective, and easy, meaty after you foward throw someone in the corner. Just be carefull with people with long 4f lks like Sakura.

[@FlightlessEsports]

Yeah this is a good combo, quite specific but does plenty of damage just felt like it was additional and not too common.

[@THEVIGILANTEHD]

@@FlightlessEsports Thought so too. But you'd be surprised how many CC HK you can land after you throw someone in the corner. 100x multiplier if below gold.

[@powerk21]

Does it work with HP (Crush counter)

[@THEVIGILANTEHD]

​@@powerk21 No, only HK or cr.HP. They have to be airborne for it to juggle 3 times. If you hit CC s.HP in the corner with VT1 active your best combo is probably s.HP (CC) - VS1 - b.MPxHP (Chin Buster) - VS1 (HOLD) - l.DP - h.DP If you don't have VT1 active its the same, just skip the l.DP and go for the h.DP only. Those are the staples. There are more advanced ones like (in VT1) s.HP (CC) - EX.FB - l.DP - h.DP but those are way harder to hit confirm.

[@jiroweiler5883]

Why bother teaching people how to play Ken when 90% of them will just mash ex.DP at every chance they get...

[@fpscanada3862]

lmao just block on their wakeup then. it's basically free punish if they don't stop doing it
