I don't know why KB's list was given any credit here in the first place. The guy is just a commentator.

KB never gave a list of characters.

Special moves are power gauge dependent in AOF, if you don't have enough gauge then the moves are gimped.

He still throws a proper fireball if he has the meter.

Notice how King taunted him to lower his power meter.

His list is still 100% spot on, he never said Ken wasn't returning.

Interesting animation in that bottom panel.

 

[Dahbomb]

Hopefully it's the Maori fighter. I posted it a while back that it could be that instead of a generic white dude from NZ.

And that 2nd gif is going to give me a god damn seizure.

Ultradavid just retweeted these:

@stoxenbawns @ultradavid Yeah, that's his dp xx v.skill. Combofiend said if held, it turns into a step kick but you can also do other moves



@stoxenbawns @ultradavid At least from what I could hear from the Periscope, i was watching. It'll be forward movement only, I think.

So not a FADC. People can calm down now.

 

[JeTmAn81]

Don't care how much it costs. You fuck up you pay for it. This shouldn't even be up for discussion but someone always has to be a contrarian I guess.

Spending your whole meter is paying for it, just not in damage.

i just did a 1:1 from the instagram vid, i thought it was funny enough to leave in with the slowed down version i made

@MarkMan23: I've been posting a lot about my girl lately... She has FINALLY been announced at the Capcom Panel at SDCC!

 

[Karsticles]

In a game where oki is minimal, a safe DP would be even stronger than in SFIV. Bad idea.

Holy fuck, why is Madcatz obsessed with the color blue? God damn it, I am going to have to buy and mod a Hori, aren't I?

 

[mbpm1]

KEN IS IN

K E N B O Y S

Although ken's design looks like garbage from what little I can see

Still, his moveset looks okay, and his v-skill looks interesting. I'm not loving the FADC aspect of it, but if it's say, unsafe on block then my concerns are alleviated.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

So it's a way to get away with it which is the whole problem.

This is fine unless it works on block.

Please, show us his list.

Meter comes easy in SFV. Not much of a punish.

 

[BadWolf]

Meter comes easy in SFV. Not much of a punish.

Yeah, the V-gauge in particular fills really fast when eating damage and blocking.

 

[Clawww]

if someone's gonna be able to get away with DP on wakeup it'll be ken lmao

 

[FormallyFamicom]

Man, if Ken's face looks like that, the teaser shot at the end could totally be Akuma. All bets are off with that art design.

 

[Village]

is there going to a be sf4 stream for comic con, max says ken is on the demo units

LOL @ people thinking it's Akuma....it's looks nothing like him.

Looks nothing like anyone else in the game actually... FINALLY a new character?

 

[Skab]

As in a floor stream? No. Youll have to wait for vids from it, just like with the BET thing.

 

[Kikujiro]

Ken definitely looks way too ugly, I hope they retouch him.

Akuma has no pupils. They would be consistent with that I think.

He looks like frankencharlie's bro

no

Tizoc pointed it out that it looks like he is wearing a rugby helmet

[mbpm1]

I don't see how Ken isn't a shoto so far. All the tickmarks are there even if he won't be like Ryu

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Get rid of the logo and its good

 

[I-hate-u]

This. So what he is a charge character now? I don't believe it.

 

[Pappasman]

The HD trailer is up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lwOe5y8gIk

 

[Spacebar]

Yea, remove the logo or make it much smaller. It's distracting to the design. I also with they would announce some new pads already.

 

[Lostconfused]

Thank you for explaining the point I was making.

 

[Kadey]

Looks like Dan went Satsui no hado.

I love how Capcom is finally evolving SF.

 

[irfaanator]

i still think that looks like honda. honda had face paint in sf4

 

[Pappasman]

What if that V-trigger automatically makes you dash forward?

edit: watching the trailer again and his normal dash and the post V-trigger dash are very different. So if it does auto dash that would probably make DP on block -> V-trigger pretty bad.

 

[Village]

yo the ink statue flame effects make his fire look like lava, I like it

 

[Kikujiro]

His face looks better in the official trailer, I need an official art.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

I feel like the people who are the most insistent that Ken is a shoto are driven by their pessimism. They're fixated on him being a shoto because they don't want another shoto.

For me, it would be nice if Ken was radically changed but I'm not going to lose sleep if he follows the same mold as previous games. I like shotos. Not my problem.

 

[Shouta]

Ultradavid just retweeted these:




So not a FADC. People can calm down now.

That was me and I mistook the V.Skill for the V.Trigger. I erased the tweets and redid them.

In either case, it's unlikely to be an FADC anyway, it looks like it's probably an attack or something similar to his V.Skll possibly but I'm not sure yet.

Edit: Looking at the HD video, it acts like an FADC though but Ken always follows it up?

 

[Beckx]

Looks like Dan went Satsui no hado.

LOL it's true

tbh I would have actually preferred that

 

[mbpm1]

The HD trailer is up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lwOe5y8gIk

Things I noticed

His step kick knocks down now
His ex tatsu knocks down if it's one hit
if not its regular
His grounded ex tatsu seems to act like akuma's, giving him combo followup? not sure if it's ex or light kick version

 

[Clawww]

-2 hit close roundhouse?

-separate launcher tatsu and ground tatsu? he cancels crouch fierce into a rising tatsu, but there's a ground lk tatsu canceled out of a standing lk also

-either he has a run, or his dash startup looks like a run and it can cancel it into normals? he does air tatsu, run, crouch fierce cancelled into V-trigger @ 0:46

Satsui no gado*

That, or he looks like a Shoto.

Spreading misinformation is kind of a bummer. I see what you're saying about the shoto hate, though.

 

[Coda]

Yeah the body flame color is amazing, looks real hot.

Also, Akuma I think? Considering that most characters have a pretty significant redesign and dat nose I think it's Akuma.

 

[notworksafe]

TE2s are so uggo. Make a TES+ for PS4, Markmang.

I dunno if I'll be able to get my black TE working with PS4. The MKX pad is not wanting to work

 

[Kalamari]

Moar liek Satsui no feo

 

[Horseress]

This angle kinda reminds me of Nina

EDIT:

new outfit looks tight btw
