Ok, well I didn't see a topic made on here yet concerning JUST Kenshi's bad match ups. This thread will be used exclusively for discussion of his hardest and worst match ups based on everyone's experience.
So far I like Kenshi, and I've fought against a few solid ones and believe from my personal experience from both sides that so far these are his worst:
-Scorpion, I've done pretty well with Scorp against Kenshis, his hellfire imo is a key element to defeating and making Kenshi come to you, then from there you have a few options such as snagging him with the spear, going in for attacks
-Sektor, as strange as it might sound Sektor can give Kenshi a hard time. Why do I say that? Well as a Sektor player, you can outzone Kenshi with missles then get in and do mix ups. Now, like NW he can reflect the upward missles but not back at you...the normal and seeking however can be reflected back at you, however a good tactic I've had success with is mixing up the straight with the upward and immediately doing a straight and if you're mid screen dash in and do his flames, you can also keep him zoned with the missles and dash in for Sektor's mix ups. I've also had some success doing this. If you're fast enough you can just buffer missles one right after the other, Kenshi can't reflect two at once or one right after the other afterall if you're fast enough with them.
-Smoke, I also use Smoke a little and noticed his smoke bombs seem to be a good trade off with Kenshi and he can't reflect it, that combined with his teleport tactics seem to make Smoke a worthy adversary for Kenshi imo.
Sub-Zero, ok I don't use him but I have noticed good Sub-Zero players doing pretty well against Kenshi, but out of fairness I was also in a room with lionheart and his sub is one of the best online, maybe I'm wrong here but I've just noticed solid subs trading freezes with Kenshi and doing good damage against him.
Any other characters you guys know of or feel is hard for Kenshi, feel free to post em and discuss!
