Breakthrough - Balanced RIP Kenshi. Why Balanced is Bottom 5 in MKX and it's a shame.

Kenshi is awful man. I tried getting into him the first week of the game since I love the character, but he just felt like a pile of shit.

It sucks not being able to play your favorites, but any Kenshi who sticks with him puts a character over their own mental well being. It has to be frustrating.
Now you are just overdoing it. Balanced, maybe, but Kenjutsu and Possessed are very playable, you have ample opportunity to play your favourite, this is just you being a whiner

I've spend ~90% of my MKX time playing Balanced and Necromancer so i'll leave my few cents here about Balanced.

When i get in close with an enemy or he gets close to me my ''strings'' feel useless , Kenshi basicaly poses no threat and be gets blulled without having the chance to retaliate except for EX Karma vs some string gaps or specials.

~1 sec recovery on TF is pathetic ... in a game where most of the cast have Teleport or Gap Closing Move that can lead to 30-40%+ Punish.

MK9 Kenshi was dumb but MKX Kenshi didn't deserve this bad of a treatment. He went from top 5 to bottom 5. Dafuq

I'd rather fight Balanced Kenshi than Goro any f'ing day.

I don't think Mystic Ermac is that bad but yeah the rest of those variations are butt.

Level up.
Adapt.
Quit crying.
Everything else you generally heard in the sz subforum.
but now you all got buffs across two other variations =) btw actual buffs not a patch notes of useless shit that gets stealth nurfed.

You're acting like Kenshi forum hasn't had more tears than Kitana + Reptile + Sub-Zero forum combined, and that's just from Pig Of The Hut & Immortal alone
idk man if I went into each of those forms I am sure I would see the same shit. then again they all received actual help in patches that changed the dynamics of each character and made them better across multiple variations. You even have seen Kitana become a pick up for one of the best players for specific match ups. Let me know when someone picks up kenshi as one of those utility picks when 50k is on the line.

When djt, sonic fox or forever king or even Woundcowboy use *ALL* kenshi and win or make top 4 at an actual major w money on the line or esl Offline finals then we can all hail PPJ for being correct In saying we all just suck

Fat chance ...

@Big D believes this too so IMO big d w his zoning style should use all kenshi for 8 weeks esl season 2 for every match up online/offline and show us what we are all missing

I'm excited to see it and will be his biggest supporter

Kenshi players got buffs like 3 different times before Sub-Zero got any, just consistently nerfed, so no, they didn't "all receive actual help" till like a couple of days ago, this shit been going on since Pig realized he didn't have MK9 Kenshi anymore and he wasn't going to be playing Kenshi with a massive advantage over the rest of the cast

Well, after you hear nrs tell your community kenshi isnt get any changes, suck our nobs, wait a few months and youll get 1 fix, a handful of buffs that still keep balanced at one of the lowest tiers (unbreakable) and the ability to cancle on one of posseseds strings.

I really cant feel that bad for you guys because the shoe is on the other foot now.
Beg, plead, cry for your buffs across all forums and get ridculed by everyone for it and maybe youll see some changes.

Buffs yeah so you are telling me that going from on block flurry being punished by any one with a teleport was a buff? More like actually gaining a tool. lets see what else oh flurry was -32 at CEO then magically one patch later its not even mentioned that it changed to -53. So lets go to the next set of buffs bf2 went from being full combo punished on block at any point on the screen to being safe at max distance. Yeah buffs that allowed the character to play the game. Oh he got a safe launcher in possesed during that patch but its -6 yeah buffs. What else are you going to do you wanna keep pointing towards pig complaining but tbh I'm not pig of the hut so that mule is old and beat quit pointing towards pig. I'm the one who's talking about kenshi at this point. Lets not go into rants about how Rapzilla made a bottom 5 reptile post or how KP was on twitter every time kitana was getting slaughtered or how clone doesn't work from Brady. like I said easy to point the finger at someone who was the face of the character in a previous game. This is a new game and new faces are playing the character and I am one of them so when I talk to you leave pig out of it unless you wanna admit that what he's saying isn't only coming from him.

Ok kenshi balanced is bottom 5 easy and needs some fixes but i don't think he loses to kitana.

When on earth did I say it was only him lol, I said him and immortal alone IS more than other entire forums combined, however then there still definitely is the rest of you whining about it as well lol make no mistake



The statements you are making are FACTUALLY INCORRECT lol, there is no two ways about it, you justified it by saying that "they all received actual help in patches that changed the dynamics of each character and made them better across multiple variations" which has not been the case at all until this week, how the fuck is that an explanation for something thats been happenin since release lol

So wait we aren't counting this patch as a fix for changing character dynamics. ahh Got it let me run this post back a month then we can continue this argument and you be right.

That's right guys pack it up lets not count this patch and live in the now and the state of the game as is right now.
