I've just started picking up Kenshi and as I was discovering some innovative ways to build meter, I realised that by doing this one move, I am not only building meter but also potentially punishing an opponent. Let me explain....
After I've knocked an opponent down with spirit charge, I whiff a reflect (which recovers pretty fast) just to build some meter. So there's the meter building part. For some reason, whether many of the opponents I play are retarded or whether it genuinely works, when they see the sword come out they assume that I'm trying to attack them while they're grounded. This then tempts them to do a wake-up attack (some of which are unsafe) and I then am able to punish them.
When I realised that I had inadvertently fooled opponents when all I was trying to do was to build some meter, I started to mix it up a little with the reflect and an actual attack such as the telekinetic slashes (or whatever they're called) to some reasonable success.
I would like to point out that I don't know whether this is viable against a high level player or whether it is genuinely a smart yet accidental find.
Regardless of the second part, I still would like to point out that whiffing a reflect after knocking the opponent down with spirit charge or whatever is a nice way to build some meter (if you can build meter in any way possible you may as well do it right?).
What do you guys think?
