General/Other - Kenshi **Possessed & Kenjutsu Guides in OP** Pig's Home for all Kenshi

I noticed he doesn't have air control with the lows though, unlike oh swords. How do we feel about that difference? Also how well does each variation track the run with flurries?? Also his tp looks very fast and has great tracking.

I could see the run mechanic causing issues.

TP is fine
Tele flurry mostly tracks runs however I've noticed it doesn't sometimes, not sure why. Tele flurry in possessed is like -30 so u can punish w fly kick w kang and such

@Whackojack

Good.. Good! Now one more for KUNJITSU!

I would LOVE to do one for Kunjitsu! Unfortunately it would currently only be 1 kombo once more data comes out I'll update the Balanced/Possessed ones I made and add a Kunjitsu one also

in possessed the low pound like oh swords are made up for by a mid hitting teleflurry with a large hitbox. Tracking on teleflurry tracks the run very very well.

K I was speculating on the strength of itthat the flurry might hit mid, sounds solid. I noticed you were punishing it though, and Los kick seemed really hard to punish.

To those of you who have the game, if you had to compare Kenshi to an Injustice character, who would it be?

Possessed COMBOS getting better


ji2 b1 EX DF 4 nj2 walk F32 EX DF4 B1 Tele demon 44% 13 hits and the big find for me here is YES you can use two freaking demon low stomps in a juggle combo

Kenshi is looking like an absolute monster. I can't see how he won't be anything other than a high-tier character.

New findings

322(4) MIXED W df4 mixed w db 4 mixed w db 2 is ridiculous

Wow

Wow

Is that a universal combo across all variations?

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Is that a universal combo across all variations?

kenjitsu it is only 322 mid mid mid

balanced it is the same as possessed however there it no mix up because he doesnt have the low and oh slam, he just has oh slash but you can end w push before the final hit making it pretty safe chip 8%

Kenshi is looking like an absolute monster. I can't see how he won't be anything other than a high-tier character.

as others are saying though, the devs made almost all of his special moves unsafe on block. he has the potential to be an absolute powerhouse but i would hate to see his potential wasted because he can be punished all too easily. With the new run mechanic i doubt we'll get much zoning from him either. either way im super excited to play him!

 

[Vilén]

This is all entertaining for right now and it's helping me cope until next week but some of this stuff seems like the reason we get launch patches, so I'm none too invested.

Found this on youtube, some guy's day 1 combos that will be obsolete as soon as Pig posts his vid, still there's not much to do until tuesday so here it is:

 

[Farpafraf]

I've had the game for a few hours but I really am under the impression that (balanced) Kenshi is a rock solid character to say the least (quite similar to MK9). What would in your opinion be his best normals? I think that d4 is fantastic poke, his sword aerials seem a little weird but good, b1 has a surprising range (at -5 on block it should be safe) and is hit confirmable, b32 starts at 11 frames is low and safe on block (-3), 441 stats at 10 frames and has a pretty short range but it's neutral on block.

the combos are pretty sweet, but the dude talking makes me want to punch a baby. the idiot makes me lose my focus on the combos. "What blind dude can walk around the house without a dog or a cane?" Oh i don't know, how many people you know that can shoot lightning out of their hands? It's Mortal Kombat dude. the fuck outta here

^ agreed, lol. He was annoying as fk

In Balanced his 22 standing reset can actually be canceled out of for more hits... if you do 22 and then reverse input SC, TF, or RK they will hit... you can do this mid combo in highish gravity to avoid wasting you RK early... run cancel into 22 after shit like 114 adds higher damage... I will post the combos later... too late atm..

His D1 is an amazing AA... you can D1~RK alllll the big ass floaty jumps...

Also I have tested the frame data listed and it is waaay off (as expected) Balanced Kenshi is A LOT safer than his numbers let on.

Yea I agree

#s are hella wrong for some

Ya that is why when you look at his 22 it doesnt look like what it really is... I have a feeling that will be his best mid string linker... you can do shit like 114 run 22~RK run f32~TF which is like 38% no meter... he has tons of shit with 22
