Hey guys, so since most of you guys are Kenshi mains, I was wondering how I can deal with his teleport. It seems like he gets jip for free and I can't do anything about it. I've tried to uppercut but it doesn't work most of the time. Any tips?

Armour, backdash, dash forward, low profile; each character has different options.

any reasons i should use 43bf3 to end combo mid screen instead of f32bf3 in balance

1% more damage in some combos.

Hi all, new to Kenshi so I don't know if this has been discussed or not and I for sure ain't going through 44 pages lol. Anyway, why is Kenshi's 44 the exact same animation as his 4d4 except the former is an unsafe [high, mid] whereas the latter is a safe [high, overhead]? Surely this is a mistake made by NRS.

I first saw the 4,4 and was like "aw man I wish this was an overhead" and then that came true when going through all of his strings and I was surprised haha.

Well the reason for having the same animation is something that we cannot really explain as far as the creator sais why haha
no just kidding it can be used for some mix ups that i dont rly use. In posessed you can condition the opponent to block high by using 4d4 and then mix it up with a 4 ex db 4 b for full combo since the special hits low.


so it would be 4d4 or a 4 db4 b

however in kenjusts i would simply use f2 instead so in kenjutsu 4d4 is not that useful


but i dont know if the others agree
i hope i could help you so far ^^

I haven't touched Possessed or Kenjutsu, haha. I still don't see the purpose of it at all, if you can mix it up with 4[d4] or 4[low special] in possessed then what's the point of 44? There's no point in 44 existing, I feel like it was put in there by accident haha.

If 44 was safe and 4d4 was punishable I'd understand but it's the other way round lol

I think its because 4d4 is a hard knockdown and you can combo from 44

Don't think there is much of a difference but I go for 4,3,bf3 because I find it easier to link after rising karma and more consistent.

43 does 1% more damage.

Well, yeah. That's not much of a difference . But thanks for letting me know. I actually never used the F+3,2,bf+3 despite being a Kenshi main. Day 1 I went with 4,3 because I thought it looked cooler and ever since I kept going with it. I've watched Pig of the hut who is without a doubt a great Kenshi player, If not the best out there, use it but I never went for it. But I thought they both did the same thing/didn't have much of a difference.

You should just try AAing with his uppercut tbh. Works wonders for me so far, especially with Kenjutsu. 23% dmg of an AA uppercut, UNBREAKABLE damage.

Trust me, his uppercut is super solid. For Kenjutsu other AA options are exdb4, exbf2 and, on some occasions, db1, exdb1 and s1.

I use Mileena lol

I use Mileena lol

Sorry about that m8, i was a bit drunk when i answered

I believe Mileena has a really solid AA kick move (cant remember the name though). From what i ve seen her uppercut is really good as well.

 

[Metzos]

Dunno if this is the right thread, since i havent seen any combo thread for Kenshi.

Possessed Kenshi 47% dmg with two bars. Goes like this:

jp, f32, ex db4, f32, ex db4, 43, bf3.

Yo F2 in balanced and possessed is so ggooodd

Elaborate? and is it better than Kenjutsu's? Kappa.

How is it better than his b1 alternative besides being 1 frame faster.

Yes it is because it has more range and recovers way faster.

 

[Orochi]

I hope you are not saying it's better than Kenjutsu's F2, F2 being an overhead cancellable normal is all you need for the move to be way better.


Here's the pros of the moves B1 and F2 in balanced/possessed. I tested the frame data.

B1 and F2 actually have about the same range, B1 actually has slightly more if you count the second hit.

B1 can be hit confirmed.

B1 has more active frames, you can easily be hit out of F2.

B1 is 1f safer on block.

B1 does more damage.

F2 has better recovery on whiff

F2 is 1f faster.

 

[moonstex]

So which variation is a go to right now in your opinion?

 

[DarksydeDash]

Balanced.

 

[DarksydeDash]

Heres something dirty.

 

[Yoaks]

I use Mileena lol

Use roll or her b3. If you think Kenshi is gonna teleport, a preemptive njp is good too. Samething applies for Imposter Shinnok.

And tanya.

 

[InFlames]

is this known?

you can restand with s1 which is plus 2 on block, and if you miss the timing you still have advantage for your usual oki

if this was posted before then i apoligize, i couldnt find anything about it
