Playing with Ryu, I'm worried about Ken not having a parry of some sort. It seems kinda integral to a shoto to have some type of defensive option, since, well, everyone knows how to defend against a shoto.
Maybe Ken's V-skill should have been a roll to dance around FB or something or does he actually have a zoning game that makes up for him not parrying? I know his V-trigger makes his FB flames and it knocks down, but no one has said anything about the speed/recovery/damage of his FB game, and I'm wondering if you can just spam c.lp or something to get out of his run mix-ups. Really wish he was in the beta, but I can honestly say, Ken/Ryu will likely be my two main characters. I can consistently do high damage with Ryu, and feels he only needs Donkey kick back and he's perfect. Ken I really like, but certainly need to play with first, I'm not sold on step kick being integrated into his V-skill but he at least looks as fast as Cammy.
Thoughts? What tier would everyone fit in right now? Just playing around here fellas, I need we need the experts to frame data/unlock character potential.
