One big change is the extra 3 frames of advantage on run DP. That changes some meaty routes. The universal light scaling nerf also affects things like Ken's 2LP 5MP combo routes.

@tjames975

Ай бұрын

For example, run DP in the corner now gives you access to the 5LP framekill into 5HP. At midscreen, run DP now has less pushback so you can do stuff like dash up 5HP. This trades against a 4f attack but you're now in range for a follow-up 5HP trade combo! So a few more meterless oki options after run DP for big damage. Unfortunately you lose the auto-timed dash up throw in the corner. It needs to be manually timed now due to the 2 frames of throw invincibility on wakeup.

​@@ny_rednova Honestly, if you're having trouble w Dee Jay, you're still going to, his utility is all still there, and he was given a little but more utility as well. It's mostly just damage scaling nerfs mostly. If your problem with him is neutral... then you're still screwed, lol. Grounded Jackknife range nerf and cmk nerf do hurt him a little bit though, ngl. Pretty much what the nerfs did was make 2 touching with Dee Jay more rare in certain match ups.

That chinbuster target combo nerf is mostly annoying because of muscle memory, now I gotta adjust this but it’s all good. My boy was spared luckily 😩

I feel it's an awful change. Drive rush into it to then frame trap and confirm is very tricky in the heat of the moment

@travis7843

@@RushG I feel like the target combo nerf was somewhat justified. I felt like it was BS that it could frame trap + natural combo. However, I think it was EXTRMELY unfair that they changed the target combo from being a 21F confirm to a 17F confirm. They took a hit confirm that was pretty easy to do and made it VERY difficult for no reason. As a Chun Li main, I am in shambles over F MP no longer being hit confirmable lol

Thanks Rush!

Great breakdown, thanks. I think the cr.MK hitbox change was more to help whiff punish the harder to whiff punish moves from other characters. EDIT: nvm, I just read the patch notes. They specifically mentioned it was so it can now "hit opponents in a mid-air spinning juggle state" I also saw they made Heavy Jinrai knock the opponent away less on hit, and made the HK follow-up on all versions move forward more, so that means better combos in mid screen from all jinrai kicks. Curious if one can DR afterward to continue the combo more easily now. And Jinrai overhead kick now causes ground bounce when airborne opponent is hit, and gives more knockdown frame advantage. Should open up for more combo and oki opportunities.

@RushG

Ай бұрын

The HK Jinrai I still need to test in more detail. Whilst it's had some cool changes I barely noticed the difference in my gameplay HK followup was mentioned 👊 As for the medium Jinrai > overhead, it does cause a new knockdown / bounce offering more advantage but no new combos. Somebody has said it allows us to set up meaty Fireball, I've tested this and only found a -2 oB meaty fireball situation. Not bad but I'd want plus frames from an Oki setup

Gotta say a lot of the changes seem very fair. He still has a lot of what makes him strong/fun

Hey Rush! I discovered a little while ago that the faster startup on Run > DP means that under certain scenarios Ken can combo into it off of OD Jinrai > Heavy follow-up. For instance, Punish counter DI > j.HK > OD Jinrai > heavy follow-up > run DP deals ~3400 damage. I don't know how situational that combo is, but it does exist and is the most damage of off punish counter DI for only 2 drive (maybe, not entirely sure). It is also really stylish!

I do like that you can now do after punish counter shk you can now do drive rush cmk while they're in midair into tatsu as another great corner carry option, and not sure if there are more combos off that one yet. I feel like that's another good change.

Appreciate you Rush. Do you have a video of how to approach Ed users?

With these changes now his combos are cooler theres more Fire 🔥 moves.

Hey Rush, since the knockback on heavy Jinrai changed, you can now do H.Jinrai into H.Shoryuken. I don't think it was that way before, and I don't think it's very useful but there it is :D

Ken is pretty easy to play, his optimal routes can be tricky but with practice they're fine. The only thing thats annoying with him is his Optimal Jinrai juggles in the corner. The timing on them is very strict. Ken overall is a good pick regarding strength / well roundedness / ease of use. He is pretty fun too.
