If you're facing a nightwolf, and you reflect his arrow or something, when he reflects it back you will not have to do your reflect again as it will still reflect. Its interesting.

I was wondering about that. Is there a limit to how many times NW and Kenshi can keep reflecting the same projectile back and forth? Because if not that could provide for some funny scenarios lol

It looks Hilarious when Noob's Running man is reflectd by kenshi.
The running man is like "OH SHIT A SWORD, fuck that im outta hereee"

From what I could gather, regular reflect doesnt bounce back the buzzsaw, but enhanced absorbs it. I thought that was weird.

You should also probably note that noob's shadows aren't reflected, but rather sent into the background

Lol i wonder what happens if you reflect Noob's shadow on stages like the pit... Do they just run off in the air or what? :O

My friend and I were doing a variation of "Roseball" in SF. Each player would be rose and set the handicap to max so you have no health. Then one person would "serve" a soul spark and we would reflect it and you could dash forward or backward to force the person to reflect faster or not be able to in time. Person gets hit, the other person gets the point. Now nightwolf's arrows are kinda fast and if you keep reflecting them back and forth the arrow will disappear but it would still be there and you would still have to reflect. To remedy this, we would have do nightwolf/reptile tag matches and as reptile send out a force ball and then quickly switch back to nightwolf. Its a fun novelty, but I haven't played it in weeks. The FB disappears eventually too...

Ignoring his X-Ray, isn't Kenshi the first character in MK to have no projectile?

Funny glitch: I lost a round to Shang where I traded my X-Ray with a skull at full screen, and the sword just hovered in midair until the next round started.

Is it possible to reflect JC's fireball in his f3,3, exfireball trap? Or are you at too much of a disadvantage?

too much dis advantage due to the reflect startup. PS: u can Armor in between. also, kenshi can simply duck any of JC's EX fireball close traps.
a similar example were kenshi can reflect safely like how u mentioned, is against kung lao. KL can trap with f+3, and then non lick chain of Low hat. this low hat is reflectable.

By armor, do you mean RK or SC... or does it not matter? And is there a list somewhere of strings you can interrupt with "armor"?
