With that d1 being a frame faster does it make that d1 lift no longer a just frame? also with the demon slam being safer that give ken the need 50/50 he didnt have?

Dude, with everything that they did for him they can have that 114 cancel. Besides, if you were playing kenjutsu you didnt need it. Trust me, kenshi is a beast now.

That combo has to be before the patch.

Im not saying the 114 cancel has no merrit. Im saying that with all the good they did for kenshi i dont mind that this particular cancel doesn't work now.

Thanks tho.

My thoughts on possessed changes.

Very happy with possessed demon slam being safe. He's now got some low dmg safe 50/50 pressure with his demon slam and overhead demon. It can become high dmg with mb demon slam, so it's very useful for conditioning the opponent with the overhead demon then pulling out the mb low demon.

Not happy about sickle lift hitbox being reduced. I hope it doesn't affect my ability to anti-air with it.

Soul push and demon assault changes are nice, will make them more useful.

Two complaints)
1) They did not change the frames on his unique normal f4. There's aboslutely no reason to use this normal over demon slam. It serves zero purpose for a unique normal.
2) Possessed still has abysmal meterless dmg. No strong meterless punish ability.

Not too happy about the kenjutsu changes tele push being 12 frames doesnt counteract it being even worse on block along with tele toss being high I think. But I like the increased damage and better d1 overall good job on kenshi NRS
