Yes I finally understand, master steel *bow*

Edit: Yes ZMT, we can see that was all skill, because mindgaming cpu's is just that difficult.

lol

M2K might be the best melee player, (that's still up for discussion), but who was the better Marth player?

And the Ken combo does exist in a fairly nonexistent form. The videos show it, you can really only get off 1 or 2 fairs consistently before going into a dair, and if you practice it at training mode, somewhere along the lines of 20-30 percent damage, ken combo actually counts as consecutive hits on the training combo meter. The only problem with that is that in training, the hits don't decay, so it might be giving certain attack properties that you won't get in a real fight (especially since you'll be using and hitting people with fair anyway).

but yeah, the ken string is awesome.

Ok to be perfectly serious the Ken combo exists in Brawl it is just that there are a few "differences."

It is a SHfair>fair>dair combo.

Yes it counts as a combo.

The first fair must trip the opponent for it to work. You must then FF the second fair while hitting them and then buffer a jump>dair. If you did it properly it will count as a combo.

Oh btw this won't spike the opponent into the depths of hell as I have never gotten it so that it would work, that the spike would land off the stage. But its the ken combo.

So lol it does exist, but chances of you pulling it off? Very situational. ;)

A combo is a string of moves you can't DI out of or escape. The Ken "combo" one of you guys showed, can be DI'd out of. It's really as simple as that.

The old Ken Combo can be both DI'd and air dodged out of. To land a f-air to d-air, you have to predict your opponents dodge (if they don't DI), if they choose to at all. It is no longer a combo in the sense that it can automatically be pulled off independently of the opponents actions.

Also, for those that haven't been, please stay on topic and post intelligently if you are trying to contribute to the conversation.

Lmao Ken fan. I am an active poster on the Marth Boards, I'm a pretty good marth player and I'll help you get better if you want me to, and lol i don't use Ike, I did when I made the account. Ok, I guess you aren't wanabees, sorry, it just seems like it, same avatar, part of your names are the same I'm sorry. And M2K is better than OK. And Ken is the greatest melee player probably, not the best smasher ever. He lost to a 14 year old. And I said n00b like a n00b to SWF, b/c you are, not meaning to be duragatory in any way.

When did I ever say that Ken was bad? Ken is great, and I think he would have one Evo w/out items. And my vids vs. Steel are old and on Wi-Fi. And how can I judge Ken? And Steel's Marth is amazing. Have you seen him vs. NEO? And i know that I'm nothing like Ken.
