It didn't apply to all characters but V Trigger and V Trigger Cancel specifically is what lead to cool combo extensions. It suck's we'll likely never see this iteration of Ken again 😭

Imo SFV had perfect shotos. Ryu, Ken and Akuma had very unique identities in 5. So cool

I do love how they tried to reinvent them ever so slightly from older games To be fair Ken did have another significant shift in 6 regarding his design Best iteration of Dan period

I did too, I also like Ken in 6, I want to give him a proper try ngl. I really like Akuma in 5. Not the strongest but hes so unique and cool. Takamura was doing new tech every day.

Best iteration of Ken, even animation wise.

Preach. I get his face and hair were terrible but his movement and animations are so good. It's underappreciated

I think the main difference is (beyond how flashy and fun vtrigger usually was) most of the time you had to at least hitconfirm into it where drive rush is very little lost even on a failed confirm tho i do think part of this is pure nostalgia goggles now

I find SF6's cool combos come from juggles and Drive Rush pickups rather than grounded hit into Drive Rush Cancel. Or perhaps a hit into Super Art 2? I appreciate V and 6 combos for different reasons, Ken VT1 combos always felt super flashy to me then and now

確かにスト6のケンは窮屈に感じる スト5のケンのコスチュームは 残念なのを思い出した😂😂😂

The costume was ahead of it's time 😭😭😭 The face and hair was goofy but I loved the concept of it

I can't believe I lived long enough for v-trigger to become retroactively a good mechanic. Revisionist history.

It was a great concept but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't flawed. A number of characters had terrible V Skills, V Triggers, couldn't punish V Shift consistently Some V Triggers were stupid broken

nah this mf was evil im happy hes gone LMAO his heavy dp used to keep me up at night

LOOOOL, Capcom were wrong for buffing it each season 😈

Its wild seeing people wanting to go back to SFV after 6 years of completely bashing the game.. noe SF6 is out and everyone wanna go back to SFV. I hate the FGC sometimes fr

Hoping cvs3 has grooves to emulate sfv system and not just sf6

If they did IV, V and VI grooves... 😍

Nah its notalgia right now. People dont want go back to vtriggers. It was flashy once a round and thats it. SFV was terrible game for a 90% of its life

@kazeyskill tu fais des trucs comme ça toi ?

The sauce laaawd !

Crazy character by the final seasons

Yeaaah, Ken was fun at the very end. Sfv had it issues but still had a lot of fun with it. Especially with Ken.

Yeah, I really thought they were gonna put Akuma's VTrigger 2 crazy air juggle combos in SF6 but that didn't happen :/

What you talking about? V trigger whats just a normal unique move that was locked behind a meter paywall. Thats all it was!

Holy shit i havent seen half of those routes. Insane work man! This game was so sick 😄

People clowned on his design but I genuinely loved Ken in 5. His animations had so much flare and energy behind them that feels like it’s missing in 6. He really felt fired up all the time in this game which is exactly how I feel like Ken should be

Ken have to burn in the hell

SFV looks MAD FAST nowadays XD

Wait ken combos could be THIS sick?! 😭 I never got to play SFV and im learning NOW how saucy my character could be? Bruh.

What I’m getting out of these clips is that specials should be drive rush cancelable, surely nothing bad would happen :)

Interesting how people love this, but not KOF. SNK pioneered it after all.

I played CotW a lot when Ken dropped, I really enjoyed it but the amount of jumping and not being able to DP from crouch really put me off. Specific to Fatal Fury, Rev Blow makes the game scrappy. I want to love it but it's just not for me

@2Dee4ever You can do Ken DP input from crouch in SF5? o_0

@2Dee4ever You can crouch DP in SFV and SF6. Down Forward, Down, Down Forward input+ P

Bro this looks ten times better than slop sf6 ken combos

Cross cut? Dying art? God i hate ken, back throw or any combo he does put u in the corner… GG/ R.i.p but man he was fun to watch❤️❤️❤️
