Day 0 Phenomenal Dr. Fate and Darkseid player

In conclusion: Kenshi is by far one of the worst designs in history of fighting games especially considering the sum of all parts (characters) around him. It's my feeling and study he is by far one of the worst characters in MKXL and his core problem is his extremely poor design and awful uneventful buffs.
If anyone wants to attempt to change my mind about these MU #s do it with video evidence and not theory crafting. This has been a work in progress for 17 months
I feel Kenshi is between 5th and 4th worst in the game. He's garbage. He's a fair character in a broke game. He's the guy at the bar getting into a fight w a wooden stick vs a bunch of guys w AK47s.
In comparison Sonic fox feels he is 8th worst
List of players who have tried to pick him up, find something good about him but gave up:
Saltface
Sonic
Djt
Scar
Ashenar
Blackula (quit because of Kenshi)
And more
Special note: you know a character is complete shit when not even Forever King will sandbag w him in a pivotal top8 match when he is down 0-2 and you know a character isn't top tier if king (to his credit) looks at a character and never uses him once.
If you main Kenshi then you're playing with a dumpster fire and should not attend tournaments because you'll end up wasting time off work, $400-500 in costs to be pool fodder in the current state of the game
Ways Kenshi can be viable at tournament:
-Madzin awaits an opponent in GF
-Tom awaits an opponent in GF
- a cyrax player has emerged from the ashes and awaits an opponent in GFs
-one of the many top Takeda players awaits you in GF
Only then is picking Kenshi a good idea if you have mastered him. If you have not you will get dedicated on and feel an ounce of my 17 months of pure agony and pain.
MU numbers
However I'm open to these number changing here and there w video evidence but I'm in no way interested how you do vs your training partner in some third world country, small American town, online clan battles, etc. show me best vs the best or don't consider arguing at all. Below is my current living Kenshi MU chart. Look at it while you can and cry if you must. Sorry this character absolutely is garbage.

Conclusion:
Best variation: Kenjutsu
However this question always baffles me. People will ask "pig what's the best variation for kenshi" the answer you see is not so easy. Here's real rap
Kenshi's three variations are like three women at a bar. They want you, they want nothing more than to talk with you and start a relationship with you. You might ask yourself which one is the best. Well here is the issue
Woman 1 has AIDS
Woman 2 has a contagious skin rot
Woman 3 is an active wanted serial killer
There isn't a good answer which to choose, just choose the lesser of three evils.
It's at this point in the post where I say if anyone ever doubts me again three days into a game when I say a character is a dumpster fire, please do not tell me to give it time. I've given 17 months to this vomit and have nothing to show for my efforts because of how crud he is. I rest my case
Enjoy MKXL everybody
