How do you beat Ken's Tatsumaki Senpukyaku?

[PrideTheBest]

If I jump, it hits me. If I duck, it hits me. If I attack, it's invulnerable and hits me. If I block, he grabs me. If I dash back, he does it again....

Ok, well no one is helping and I just lost to a Ken spamming that. I beat him 2/3 but I only beat him when he wasn't doing it. And if you google it or Youtube it, no one talks about how to counter it. So I'll just play Ken and spam that and see how people counter it.

I have see some HP can beat...

Block the tatsus... and punish with jab?

Or you could try using your brain. Go into training mode and figure out how to beat it. You don't need people to tell you how to beat it when you have all the tools to figure that out on you own. You've got a rough road ahead of you if you can't learn such simple things on your own.

ligth tatsu -8 medium tatsu -9 and heavy tatsu -4 so use ligth attack but careful with shoryuken ex trap or CA.
A lot of ken use the heavy tatsu but it's not safe and block if u think he will not use EX DP or CA punish with ligth combo.
Ken vs Ken : i do lp,target combo to punish it.

Ken can't help but EX DP after Heavy Tatsu. I wish Ryu and Ken would just go to some other game and play touch butt together for eternity and leave the rest of us to fight in peace.

Who do you play? There are a few things you can do to counter it:

1. Block and punish with jab
2. Duck in the middle of its range
3. If you know he's gonna use it at the right moment, you can hit him out of H.Tatsu. I use DP or Akuma's cr.hp as an example

[SWORDCON]

u can just walk backwards and block the whole thing?

[Taggard]

Just delay tech. If he does EX shoryu, you get a free crush counter punish combo. If he tries to grab, you tech the throw. You can set the situation up in training mode with a recording to practice how late you should be teching to not get hit by the follow-up EX shoryu.

Delay tech still means Ken gets in for free while you sit there blocking a slow fullscreen move.
Learn to AA it, don't allow none of that. Just record training bot to do it and find the right button + timing.
