Any tips on dealing with Ken's crazy kicks?

I cannot for the life of me figure out when it'll be my turn to strike back his crazy kicks. EX moves seem slow and some light attacks are to short or get blocked. My skill level isn't amazing but dunno what to do against his offense.

A general gameplan against him would be nice, thanks :)

There's no move with that name. Go into training mode, pick Ken as the dummy, turn on framedata display, record various options Ken has, block them with your character and pay attention to the frame advantage.

Watch this if you don't know frame data.

Drive Impact. If he chooses to go for 1 of the follow ups to the initial kick and you spam drive impact Ken will pretty much always get hit.
If you dont want to risk it with drive impact every single one of the kicks and follow ups is negative on block ranging between -3 to-20 depending on the combination he used.

ken main, DI or parry it. And you can actually grab him out of the axe kick and hit him out of it if its the jinrai mixup one
