most of the time I don't convert for max damage, and that holds me back a lot as Ken. his damage conversion off v-trigger/run is ridiculous but I'm often late on the reaction.

Birdie's damage is scary tho. I hate playing neutral against him because he's got long pokes and EX dolphin dive hurts like hell. Ken has got to push him into the corner where Birdie is weak on wake-up and has to take all the Ken mix-ups for free.
