I don't know maybe to get health back in a near death situation. EX Reflect is pointless, but if EX Parry gave health back then it would be good so you can get health back while dealing damage. Be able to match health while putting in a momentum shift, at least that's how I see it.
Yes.
Doesn't quite do what kotal's parry does. When you parry, you get to immedietely hit them with your combo starter, say 114 EX Air grab for 40%. Kenshi has to cancel into another special like RK, fair cause Kotal doesn't have any launchers right? Okay well how come it's fair that you can get a damage buff on top of that 40% combo doing even more damage, while us Kenshi players are doing MAX around 33% 1 bar and we don't get to damage buff like you do, we can't use normals immedietly after a parry like you can, keep in mind like http://testyourmight.com/threads/kenshis-crappy-damage-scales-are-still-there.59024/ this thread says our launchers that we start our parry combos from have double scaling than intended cause someone at NRS dun goofed. So don't even be like "Your parry does what Kotal's does."
Yes it does, but what that means is it is a waste of bar to use it. imo if you spend a bar, what you get out of it should be worth it but since EX Parry gives you nothing it is a waste of bar.
Kenshi and kotal are completely different characters with completely different movesets. Like you said Kotal doesn't have a bunch of armored starters like Kenshi. Kotal is a footsie character who punishes you for mistakes. He doesnt have the options that Kenshi has.
A bunch? Also have you heard of War God?
War god doesnt have a parry, only sun god and blood god do.
He has an armoured launcher
How is that relevant to the versions of kotal who have the parry?
You said Kotal had no armoured launchers. He does
You just need to shut up now. We were talking about the version of kotal with the PARRY. He was directly comparing kotal's parry to kenshi's. Why even pop in if you aren't gonna be adding anything relevant to the actual conversation. I use war god and I know he has an armored launcher but he doesnt have the parry in that version thus your point is irrelevant.
Chill out. So petty
He doesn't have an armored starter in Blood God sure, but what he does have is a 2 frame EX parry, that can lead to a parry sequence and lead to good damage + a good situation for Kotal. Plus your parry even parries Lows if I'm not mistaken while Kenshi's doesn't.
He doesn't have one in sun god either but that's because he is a read and punish character. How else is he gonna open people up?
Doesn't have armor in Sun God? Ummmmm EX Choke has armor. How is he gonna open people up? Command grabs, regular grabs, the totally playing footsies ji1. There are ways to open people up with Kotal.
Ex choke isn't an armoured launcher. Yeah those things are all part of playing footsies with Kotal. If kotal makes a good read on a parry he should be able to punish you as it's a big risk to throw a parry out.
Couldn't have said it much better myself.
