First of all, sorry if this is known!
As you might know, Dragon's fire is an awful matchup for Balanced Kenshi, 7-3 or worse, for many reasons. One of those reasons is that he has a fullscreen move that, when blocked, leaves him at 0 or even plus if he spends meter after, and then the armor breaking pressure party starts and ggs. The kick CAN'T even be parried, which basically sucks. This, combined with his low fireballs, makes Kenshi lose everywhere on the screen.
The only way I knew to stop the flying kick was push (almost a read, and fails for ex flying kick) or just armor on reaction, but none of those were good. The video shows a tactic to punish this kick, meterless, with Balanced. It can be done on reaction, but it has to be a good reaction , specially if the kick doesn't come out from fullscreen, but closer.
Hope it helps all the Balanced players with the guts to pick Kenshi vs Liu Kang xD Maybe there are other ways to get the punish, discuss!
(I labelled this as a Balanced thread, but the other Kenshi variations can do other versions of the punish)
