Tech - Kenshi Kung Jin Knockdown Tech With Balanced and Kenjutsu

[coconutshrimp]

Just trying to see if the Kung Jin knockdown tech works with Kenshi. It works best in Balanced, In Kenjutsu you can see the opponent stand up before the ji2 comes out so maybe you have to do the ji earlier. Unfortunately this does not work with Possessed unless you end with 4412 which you have to sacrifice significant damage in order to get that knockdown to work. In Balanced it works off your usual bnbs so nothing you have to change there. In Kenjutsu you have to sacrifice a little bit of damage to get the DF1 knockdown to hit but that has the issue I stated before when you get the knockdown, but you don't have to sacrifice all that much damage and you get the usual benefits of the DF1 knockdown so if you don't want to do this you still have the usual options. If there is a way to get this to work with Possessed let me know, if this has already been found for Kenshi also let me know and feel free to call a slow mofo. Thanks for your time.

What's so special about the Kung Jin oki? I see it done all the time but can't people just armor WU and get out?

I have no idea but people tend to just hold that shit so why not do it you know

 

[DarksydeDash]

Kenshi needs all the offense and meterbuilding he can get, nice work!

 

[ismael4790]

Nice, man!

This seems very viable when the opponent has no meter (and no fast low profiling wakeup as Mileena for example, that can catch Kenshi if he mistimes a bit).

Nice work man, I just started playing balanced again and this seems really helpful with his corner game.

lab it. there's a significant amount of armor attacks where you can block them after landing and regardless, you don't always have meter

Thanks, I should've labbed it more, but thanks regardless. I wonder what attacks you can block after landing

In Kenjutsu, it avoids Cage's nutpunch completely and you get to whiff punish it.

Good stuff, I love these jump back setups. I do this with slasher jason and lackey torr, and people delay wakeup all day long so I dash up on their body and wait like a full second before doing the jump back, it looks hilarious.

@coconutshrimp

You can do this in every variation, including Possessed. Just end your combos in 212 or 4412, as they both lead to the sliding knockdown. You sacrifice a bit of damage, but it's good pressure tech.

 

[HardMan2Find]

Forgot to mention some related tech...

If you immediately step into the sliding knockdown, you can NJP as soon as the opponents legs hit the ground to accomplish two things: 1) reverse their inputs & 2) beat their wake up (if they input correctly) and get a full combo. This works on most characters, even on armored wake ups, if timed correctly. This also beats most back dashes.

If you don't step in quickly enough, you won't get the input reversal, but you'll still beat a lot of wake ups with the NJP.

Good luck, and may your opponent fear your blade.

What exactly is the "Kung Jin Wakeup Tech" though?

 

[Tanno]

I think that you forgot the twins. They also played and did tech with Kenshi's reset.

Pretty interesting find. Kinda reminds me of what Tekken Master was doing with Kotal's J1 at EVO in the corner.
