I find b1 to be pretty good and sometimes breaks armor
So....no one knows or......??? So far I've noticed, rising karma will randomly whiff point blank, tele furry will whiff last 2 hits while the camera is moving, ex push will whiff 2nd hit in some combos, the armor on rising karma is randomly nonexistent at times, and ex tele furry doesn't properly combo in the corner off of certain combos. Is there anything else?
Sorry about that, lost track of your post with all the hoopla with Evo and all. I think you've listed all that I've noticed. Haven't had Raising Karma's armor disappear on me ( what scenarios does it happen?). The 2nd hit of Ex Push whiffing is frustrating because your at negative frames and punishable (from what I recall). It happens usually when someone is crossing me up. You have to be careful with how you end your combos with Teleflurry in the corner because most of the time you want the splat knockdown so you can reposition yourself.
In some matches I have seen teleflurry whiff after some strings on hit, but it seems to be very unfrequent.
I find with all his variations D4 seems to be best overall. B1 isn't bad, but if the opponent delays their wake up Kenshi can find himself at negative frames or even punished. If the opponent does a non-armored wake up attack they get hit by Kenshi's D4 you'll get enough frame advantage to get a mixup, or you stay safe if they wake up block.
I had a scenario where I ex rising karma as Quan chi jumped in and his attack just hit me into a combo. The armor looked like it didn't even exist?
I think someone posted a vid a while back showing such a scenario. If I can find I'll link it to you. I'll also test this scenario in training mode and see if I can recreate it.
Dude I've been playing balanced about 2 weeks now and Lovin it. I'm really liking how this characters is forcing me to slow the pace of the match and just watch my opponent. Even though he doesn't play mkx like the rest of the cast, I like being able to play like this.
I wish there were more people who liked doing this. It's really apparent how rushdown based MKX is when you play Kenshi and just watch people run at you faster than Sanic the hedgehog.
Yeh that's pretty much it, after a throw break the balls in johnnys court. Unfortunately that's how kenshi is, he always loses his turn if anything is blocked. The struggle is real, parry is the best bet but that's a really hard read. That being said, don't rule it out you just really have to use it in match. If anything, after getting hit by a parry combo the opponent might give you respect to play your game post a throw break next time.
Jump back? I'm also pretty sure s2 would beat out f3.
I don't know if jump back would work, I will have to test.
Don't jump back, if for any reason he beats it you're closer or in the corner and thats not where you want to be especially as Kenshi.
Those parry comebacks are nice
it wouldn't make the character any stronger it would just make him more consistent, so i agree
wired i allways get it, i have it down, but these are the combos all my friends say they have the most hard time with kenshi. and i have asked before for like 6 frames shaved off the recovery of DB1, but here i just wanna know the Frame Window he has.
