Thanks Edma

[zomfgpaNic]

I love how unbelievably small ken looks compared to sagat

[ChangFromUS]

edma descovered that akuma is better than ken.

[Camer0nz]

Ken is my main, he probably switched because ken is so low tier, hopefully SSFIV will fix that.

[2TonguesDave]

@Camer0nz i absolutely hope not. he is already so over-used

[Camer0nz]

i know what you mean, theres nothing worse than a scrubby spammer ken, but come on, ryu scrubs are lots worse!

[2TonguesDave]

on that i have to agree. i must admit i am still curious as to what balance changes will be made for SSFIV

[Camer0nz]

I cant off the top of my head think of any that need be done, except for rebalance Sagat.

[2TonguesDave]

Thats a good one, but the remaining would be minor detaisl not everyone would notice.

But I for sure would accelerate or correct Abel's tornado throw. He is supposed to be a grappler but he has by far the weakest command grab of all, not damage wise, but it misses a LOT compared to others.

[Camer0nz]

Ive noticed, i have friends who main abel, and apparently the throw isnt as response as say Zangief's piledriver or Hondas throw.

[darksidehavok]

@2TonguesDave

not nearly as much as ryu and sagat

[2TonguesDave]

i admit ken isnt used as much as he used to now, but still is

[Fullmetalboy2]

....Ken isn't low tier 0_o

[seysay]

@Camer0nz Ken isn't low tier man... he is middle like Akuma.

[jazzmetal]

following this guy, i realize that ken could be a master of poking, what a wonderful player is edma!

I'm having serious troubles with my ken and SF IV in overall, because i'm so get used to II Turbo.

[TheGoodDeacon]

wouldn't it be better to go with f.dp and have knockdown with the option of cross up afterwards rather than tatsu and rock paper scissors hit or miss for a 20 damage difference.

[KaalVeiten]

Ken's game revolves around that mixup, that's why it's better. Usually you only want to do HK tatsu or EX though, the others are punishable on hit.

[Pandaman64]

MK tatsu is better on hit/block than HK tatsu.

[lordofultima]

I'd say your options are more limited when you go for the typical knockdown with SRK. That and they can quick get-up and mess up your set-ups. They both have their uses of course.

[TheGoodDeacon]

thats a nice hit string, but I perfer finishing with F. DP. It's safer and has knock down property.  can anybody tell me damage trade off.

[MadenkaSyd]

Fierce Dragon does 140, the last four hits of Roundhouse Hurricane adds up to 160.

[TehPeaches]

To bad Ed Ma plays Akuma now.

[CJPG5]

haha, jk bout that last comment, Edma is one of the greatest ken players

[CRoNiKCC]

i dont think so any 1 can can perform that hit string poongyko is the best ken iv seen

[DigitalShaolin]

The MASTER!!!

[CJPG5]

he's not good, it's that the guy who's playing as Sagat sucks.

[datriadx18]

Yh tru... but watch edma's other ken matches. He's got the links on point.

[GRRAB]

everyone's a fucking pro on the youtube comments, huh? ed ma is one of the best players in the united states man. you don't know what you're talking about.

[yoduh1112]

That's not the point, he's showing off Ken's full potential, this could be done on a CPU and have the same effect.

[rumbazz]

He's pretty decent...

[scottind]

Absolutely, the person getting tick-thrown should know better, and could easily get out of it.

[kharion]

are you serious?? honorable?? it's legit move and if you don't know how to defend against that you deserve to get thrown and lose. he's capitalizing other guy's lack of knowledge and move set. simple as that.

[datriadx18]

'Honorable'? dude, simple advice: u can stop being thrown by LEARNING TO TECH. Christ...

[AiskaNAyska]

Ed makes ken look easy. He is so precise with his shit, made me start playing ken

[jdigitalseven]

yeah yet he doesn't win tournaments

[Pandaman64]

He places, and that's a start.

Why are you trying to trash him anyway?

[jdigitalseven]

Im not trashing him..If he played Akuma all the time he could probably win every tournament. Seriously his Akuma is ferocious.

[Pandaman64]

Yeah, I only just saw his akuma recently but HOT DAMN he's nice with him.

[jdigitalseven]

He could probably have a half bar handicap and still beat most people

[tropicalsean]

What kick does he use when he jumps behind Sagat and follows up with LK's

[superpaco03]

Medium kick

[popnlockmaster]

Edma is raw, straight technician - dude needs to make a youtube channel with just him smashing.

[jdigitalseven]

im more impressed when he plays as other chars, Ken has so much priority in this game its crazy....plus a kara throw

[Stimpackswe]

Have in mind the he is playin vs Sagat. Priority char nr.1 :P

[matthewlam101]

is ok

[assmasin6]

he's one of the reasons why i play sf4 LOL

[RenzAngelz]

same

[MIKEMONEYC]

that was ridiculous cross ups where crazy

[krazziejrboi]

so smooth

[RSONE32]

edMASTERS...
