Playing as Ken
Fighting Against Ken
Ken has some of the deadliest crush counter buttons in the game, and if they are able to consistently confirm off them can lead into big damage and pressure. Be careful throwing out pokes if they prove they can capitalize on this. EX Shoryuken is also a popular move due to its invincibility, damage, and moving forward; always keep it in mind especially near a round's end. Many will try to cancel Shoryuken's into V-Trigger 1 to stay safe; while this prevents them from getting crush countered it is still -7 and should be punished as such. The timing for it is trickier than it seems, but it is a worthwhile skill to practice.
