3rd Strike Ken Scrubs

[I_am_Q]

I absolutely love how everyone's defense after getting mangled online is to pull out their cookie-cutter Ken.

Learn some new characters people. There are plenty on the roster. I look for variety when I play online, but I get 50% Ken, 40% Ryu, 10% everyone else.

Bah!!

[A_Rival]

STFU.

Ken is the best.

[I_am_Q]

Why didn't you challenge me in GodWeapon?

:P

Ken is amazing, too good in many aspects. People need to learn to make their opponents suffer with other characters.

[Barky]

Ken is just damn good anyway... top tier by anyone's standards. I play yun 100%, gotten my ass beat by some kens and whooped the shit out of others *shrug*

[I_am_Q]

Well, I am not saying I don't win, its about 50/50, but with a Ken player, they all play the same (except me) and so you always know how you are going to play them. At least Ryu isn't SO typical. Ken players just make me roll my eyes and hopefully beat on them until they give up and pick another character, which sometimes never happens, even after 10 losses in a row. :(

[KingRaoh]

all roads lead to Ken.

[Humbag]

Cept the long and winding one, that one leads me to YOUR door.

[EndLeSS8]

My Ken sucks.
I play him a good amount to practice, but I still suck with him.

like makoto? :lovin:

*flashback*

[Chi-Rithy]

Don't look at variety, look at becoming good at the game.

[SquaLLio]

aye, I felt I had to master one character before I could delve into a world of variety...my buddy has played Ken from day one, he's damn good at that...I've never complained (out loud...lol). For awhile no matter how hard I tried beating him it seemed impossible...I wasn't able to truly level up until I got over the "amg Ken is so gay" mode....lol

[kenny99208]

No love for Remy. Maybe cause he dresses gay.

[Shodokan123]

No love for Remy. Maybe cause he dresses gay.

or because he plain sucks and is 100% gimmiks

[HeaTBlazn]

ken is pretty crappy online compared to offline IMO.
Hes not as dangerous because its 10X harder for his hit confirm.
and his scare factor comes from that. thats what I think.

its easy to get stuffed by his c.mp but its not as threatening if you cant super after it.

[scum gale 88]

Ive only played against ken maybe 20% of the time. usually its makoto, akuma, dudley, ryu or some beastly Q players

[Kyokuji]

Q is a lot better online, since it's hard to parry/block/punish his dash punches in time.
As for the Ken situation, I don't use him, but using low tier means you don't get to bitch about it. So man up.

[Plutoburn]

Bad Akuma players are worse than bad ken players. The bad Ken players I face at least will come in at you so you get to play around with parries and faster pace means more excitement. Bad Akuma players on the other hand just does air fb and red fb all day and will do air hurricane in one you once in while and then jump back as soon as possible.

[EveryFlowerFlow]

ken isn't too great online because hit confirms are a toss up. actually I've seen much more ryu's than I have ken's..

[I_am_Q]

It's like this, We start up 3S on MAME and I usually start off wth Q, since he is my main. People will usually pick some random character, pretty much anyone. I think I have played against Alex the least online, even though he is amazing when played well. I demolish them. They pick the same character, once again they are demolished.

Then they will automatically, as if some driving force is making them selevt Ken SFAIII. It's like everyone gets pissed and says, "I gotta save face and win one, so I will take out my Ken that is exactly like every other Ken."

Is that really people's game? I play to have fun, I have had incredibly fun times online losing a majority of my games. I don't get all hot and bothered when someone beats me with some random character X amount of times, forcing me to pick Ken to salvage my pride. I just try harder with other characters.

And Ken online is not hard to play. He isn't as deadly as offline, no, but he is still amazing online. and with great pings (like 15, 10, etc.) I don't understand why more people don't play on LAN, it is absolutely smooth like that.

welcome to 2004

[DIMMU SAKURABA]

Ok, I don't know about you guys but for me, what happens on kailera is just for fun and kicks. Don't mean anything at all with the delay. On using the absolute best connection (LAN) I got on this moment its still not even possible to hit confirm off of a jumping roundhouse. Much less a triple short, or even a medium punch/hardpunch for Ken.

I don't know if you guys have actual good connection or something to be able to talk this seriously about playing on kaillera. I'm guessing its just my internet connection. Actually, I'm pretty positive it is. One time a buddy came over to my place and played kaillera on good and was like "Shit man! This is impossible to play. It is nothing like this on my labtop".

But, I will be upgrading my internet soon.

[DevilJin 01]

Yeah...I wish more people would pick Ken too. Too many Q scrubs.

[xXxDa_RaGexXx]

a scrubs rant
TL/DR
time to go pro?

[I_am_Q]

time for a challenge, more like it. I have been playing for seven years, I can play with the best of them. I just wouldn't mind playing less Kens and more Uriens, Oro's, Necros, etc.

[Alfred]

lets go to godweapon now then haha

edit: i guess not then lol? challenge me anytime when you're ready son

[I_am_Q]

none of my games are connecting, got a clue why this is happening?

[Kid Flash]

Well ken is a scrub anyway....also a scrub magnetic.

[HeaTBlazn]

il beast your Q with sean =P

[TonyMontana]

I am a Ken scrub myself and I find the Akuma scrubs much more annoying. I actually had one guy doing airballs after airball and whenever I got close to him he did teleport, and then right back to airballs. And then he had the nerve to call ME boring.:wink:

That's not a very good strategy. Why don' you punish after teleport?

[MagnetoManiac]

lol everyone sux online except for like 10 ppl i played

reversal mashing EX shoryus? just step back and karathrow (or walk up throw if no kara).

[TonyMontana]

Who said I don't:lovin: Just not every time.

[chippermonky]

Nuuuuuuuu Remy.

[A_Rival]

gahaha

[JubeiNinja69]

and i thought online would be a yun, chun li and ken whorefest. i was wrong.

[RushedDown]

i can't kara palm too well on mame :(... fuck delay.... 4 serious or when playing against ralph


fixed it for u

[haaris_abbasi]

Um... It doesn't matter who I play. Just know that you will get your ass kicked if you see me play anyone but twelve. But I see no problem fighting against Ken. As a matter of fact, it makes it easier to see his weaknesses and how to fight rushdown characters with my own version of rushdown Ryu madness.

[I_am_Q]

haaris, get on GodWeapon and show me your skills then

[Alfred]

this thread sucks

[A_Rival]

Seconded.

[Crap]

I know what you mean.

It's like you fight the same damn person over and over again. Alex and Yang fo life

And Remy owns

Bah!!

Get used to it, because that shit is not gonna change. Ken is a lot of fun to use, sure hes easier then Urien and others, but thats the way third strike works.

Ken is a character a lot of players learn or get used to using before they move on to others, and this applies to me also.
If you see 40% ryu you should be happy.

[Aremsi]

I pick ken on Kaillera once in a while, both online and offline for casuals i pick any character. Both wins and losses have nothing to do with skill, I ping 40ms so it's impossible to do anything anyways.

[Evolution321]

U guys are right, every freakin time i turn on mame, theres always someone playing ken. I'm a very good ken player and i never been humilated until i met one guy that beat me 10 straight, but he was fucking good with ken. I don't remember his name but it started with a "m".

Anyway i would like to challenge anyone who thinks they can manage my ken. i always use evolution and i'm on late(11:00p-3:00a). But ever since godweapon fixed the lag problem, my best is Makoto.

I love a challenge...............
