[@TheSmooshster]

Pretty brave of Max to be a Ken player back in the day and sticking with him as he's become more and more OP in every game

[@KaleRylan]

Ken has not become more and more op. He's kind of mid in a lot of games. It's third strike and this I believe where he's top tier. 5 he was mid, alpha he was mid, 4 he was upper mid, at least from what I remember and went and double checked.

[@obitouchiha9446]

​@obitouchiha9446 Alpha 1 and 3 he's in the bottom half of the list, he's a C+, Alpha 2 though he's very well rounded and definitely one of the top 5 characters, but Rose and Rolento are glitched/ broken so excluding them he's top 3.

[@KaleRylan]

@obitouchiha9446 he was not that high tier in 5 on any list ive ever seen. He was upper mid at best usually unless maybe in year 1 he was High tier. I didn't play it til they added some more characters He wasn't bad or anything but he's not someone you'd pick based on tiers as there were many better.

That dhalsim using a level 2 special only to throw the ball over your head, grab you, and then throw you the opposite direction was a real power move.

Just a Ken tip on Oki: After you knock someone down in the corner throw a Standing LP into Quick Dash Thunder Kick (KK->MK). It counters all wakeup options except for a perfect parry if you time it correctly.

[@prismaticowl]

Jump-happy Kens I'm used to fighting. Jump-happy Ryus are strange and scary to me! I do like fighting weirdly unconventional players, though. Always throw a wrench into my win streaks, y'know? As they should. Part of getting better is adapting to those unconventional methods of using a character. As a Dhalsim main, I kinda stopped fearing rushdown characters, 'cause you can scare them into behaving if they're smart enough to recognize it. It's the ones who try to out-patience me that are terrifying. It doesn't take much for Dhalsim to get put in a bad situation, and you have to try and force your opponent to follow his flow of battle, but someone who can sit and wait for me to do something dumb and punish me for it? That's the scary stuff! _Especially_ when it's a character like Cammy, who usually plays fast and dumb. E: Just got to the back-to-back 'Sim fights. I can tell you at least half of those Reversals weren't meant to come out. I can also tell you those two tried being too cute. Especially the second. Float is not something you wanna be spamming a lot of. You wanna be grounded af as Dhalsim in 6. Unless you can catch someone off-guard with float -> teleport -> HP, but that's not exactly hard to predict a Dhalsim doing. Not a single slide into Yoga Noogie/Yoga Bitchslap, which is just an extra 10 points docked from their test all on its own.

So my guess at what must have happened between 44:48 and 44:50 is that the game treats Dhalsim's arms not only as an extended hurtbox but also as a projectile. Because Max did an OD Hadoken (which is supposed to beat any normal projectile in the game) the situation ended up in a way in which the Shoryuken hit Dhalsim twice: first as a projectile vs projectile interaction and then as a normal projectile, hence the "weird" interaction.

[@arielgonzalez008]

Dhalsim's extended limbs don't act as projectiles. What happened is that the first hit of the OD Hadoken (Shoryuken is the uppercut) caused his arms to immediately return to normal length for his flinch animation. This prevented the second hit from landing right after the first like it usually does, so the Hadoken had to travel to Dhalsim to deal its second hit.

[@shawnheatherly]

I don't know enough of the scene to know Dagger_G, but he's clearly skilled.

[@gallonmitchell8863]

Off topic but in reference to your FF7 Ever Crisis beta playthrough, there is an excellent FF7 OG Remake that came out earlier this year. The Echo-S mod. They spent over 6 years doing a full VO of the original game, and it's actually really fantastic. It, along with the 7th Heaven mod app that has 60FPS, new graphics, sound, etc. makes playing the OG something special and new again. I haven't done a 100% completionism playthrough since 1997, but this mod has me using online guides (like the old printed paperback guides from the 90's) to make sure I don't miss anything.

DP.. Dragon punch? Or does this mean something in fighting games? Like anti air or something? Does every character have DP?

[@bruhder5854]

Dp = dragon punch indeed. Almost every character has a variation of it. Dp is a thing on almost all characters because the startup of it is invincible. Meaning you can bypass enemy hits and instead hit them if you time it right.
