Majin Boo (BD4) now do 5% more damage, when i saw that on the patch notes i was like. " Holy shit"
 
Holy shit is right. Pig is gonna have to take another look at that living tier list.

The damage increase is instantly noticeable.

Being able to tele toss after ex rising karms is incredible too. Kenjutsu just got a major shot of adrenaline

We are returned! Death to the False Emperor!
Casual reminder: if you abandoned Kenshi in the first few days and now come back, you aren't a Kenshi main, you're a top tier main.
Fair dues to the likes of Pig who stuck it out. Looking forward to see what he can do going forward and to getting around to Kenshi eventually

Shoot them. Shoot them all.
Obviously the kitana community needs to be louder...
Well, to be fair, everytime we discuss her issues, idiots flood the thread whining about how good she is and use theory fighting. Plus Reo and Tom Brady are large advocates for "Kitana IS FINE, GUYS!!!". Plus...our top player has remained silent about her.

You guys have been treated totally differently. But either way, Kenshi and Kitana are the two I want to see buffed into Bane-ville so I'm pleased with his changes and quite happy for you guys. ;)

I main scorpion and i don't intend to abandon him, however i played kenshi since day 1, though i was enjoying him it wasn't satisfying at all losing to almost everyone in the cast.

Even if i didn't claimed myself as a kenshi main, since day one, i don't intend to seek anything to relate me to other kenshi players as well, it doesn't matter if you or they care if i was there or not, i shared my thoughs on how hard kenjutsu was before patch, and definitely agreed with them in majority of how bad kenshi was. So i finally got the one buff i asked for and the Kenshi community asked for, why wouldn't i play him?

Sure i'm not a 100% dedicated main, but now i get to pick him more and actually enjoy the character and play a more neutral oriented game with Balanced and Kenjutsu rather than rely 100% of this task on scorpion, which aside from A-list Johnny was the only character where i was intensively playing all 3 variations.

Scorpion main? You can bet your balls on it, since day 0 playing him (yes i got the game earlier).
Kenshi secondary? sure
I'm i tier whoring? lol no, it has nothing to do with his tier placement.

And also, who are you to say everyone that you're not worth playing kenshi now that he got buffed :p
 
Can Pig or someone explain the logic that these buffs are gonna make him top five? I just don't see it.
The Balanced variation changes are definitely gonna help with some of his worse matchups, and the Kenjutsu buffs will make the variation better than useless like it was, but he still has a super punishable overhead option which can't be cancelled or OS'd to be safe. Kenjutsu zoning got a damage buff but the frame data is still pretty crappy. Am i missing something?
