THIS IS OLD: go watch something else.

Exploration of Ken's options from the mid to long range. Ken is infamous throughout the beta for poor normal range and negative frames, but I think people have been using him wrong and instead, should use him @ the mid range and further.

Cracked beta?

    Fantastic video. Will be adding a lot of this info to my arsenal.
  • @starnova1372
    I'd considered this for setups like fireball (bait jump in) heavy tatsu, but never realized all the other options he has. You've made getting into Ken 100 times more fun and shown that you can have many game plans in SFV!

    I wish more tutorials were like this. They tell you what you need to do simply and plainly, goes over common strats and then a gameplay. 6 minutes.
  • @Anthony-kd4rz
    One of the best character tutorials I've seen, great job keep it up!
  • @BigDeepz
    This was great. Thumbs up for the effort for the video and the optimal and innovative playstyle!
  • @mcknife25
    excellently produced, I love how you splice in the sf4 videos for visual representation of your ideas/examples . I've never liked ken before this ( or any of the shotos) but this video has got me very curious to play him when my freaking pre-ordered copy finally arrives (damn amazon and their lazy logistics division, kinda wish i just went to my local supermarket and picked it up instead of pre ordering it 3 months in advance)
  • @johncallahan429
    You are on fire dude.... can't wait to see what you produce once the full game is out
  • @LiangHuBBB
    great stuff can't wait to put some srs work into Ken SFV
  • @Orphen059
    This was extremely well done, and even more so illuminating. thanks
  • @qurfy1
    Thank you so much for this. As someone with very little experience in this genre this is a huge help for figuring out a character!
  • @Orcitect
    Finally bit the bullet and got SFV today.... this video has been very helpful as to what ken's options are! Thank you!
  • @lolololr
    Great video. Had a feeling he was supposed to be played more like this, but glad to see someone break it down so effectively!
  • @TravisScottLVD
    Excellent video. It really put things in perspective for me. I'm so excited about what you showed me with HK Hurricane Kick! :D
  • @shaboogen
    Really great video. This makes me interested in Ken when the game comes out, thanks mate.
  • @MrAzramez
    Very smart, you have put together Ken's tools in to a coherent game plan. I will have to use this as inspiration to build a plan for my own characters.
  • @VAIZEN
    What a amazing tutorial i was about to ask you for the dictator's tutorial but i saw too soo you just got yourself a new subscriber good job!
  • @murphboys
    went in to this video expecting nothing, but i am very impressed. i really enjoy how capcom made ken a complex character this time, i may use him as a secondary
  • @Heavix18
    Yes thank you! I've been playing with Ken a lot lately and I'm really liking how he feels. These strategies just helps out so much. Now I just got to practice! :D
