[Pig Of The Hut]

@Pig Of The Hut What about the Bo Rai Cho matchup vs Balanced? It puzzles me you put that Kenshi gets even or loses... why you think so?

I had this one as one the the few select good matchups for Balanced.

I'll explain in time

Mostly same reasons as Kang but not as bad

 

[villainous monk]

You said 5-5 Commando.

That's really peaked my interest because I think it would be in Kenshi's favor over 5-5. To tell the truth I'm not sure if most kano mains would like that mu because of how shitty Kenshi is he can still out zone cmd kano. But yeah if cmd kano gets in then it's game over I guess.

I kind of would like you to walk me through the mu because I wouldn't pick cmd to face bad character with zoning let alone a great zoner in lu Kang except flame fist.

Would have had wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more results if he were worth a dump

I think you played sinestro and zod in igau, were there much better results? I honestly don't remember you placing lot of top 8. I remember you in mk9 but If that's the kenshi you need than its not funny.

Bro, you do remember that Pig got 2nd place at EVO losing only to Sonic at the peak of the games life right?

No I don't that's why I said I don't remember. Never intended as a troll post

ZOD
Went to 6 Majors with ZOD
3 top 8s (MLG, KIT, CEO)
2 9th (FR, TFC)
1 17th (CB)
2nd at EVO

SECOND PLACE AT EVO - beating sonic fox winners finals then losing to him.

Not to mention wrote the bible on ZOD

 

[coconutshrimp]

Watch everyone who says "Kenshi isn't that bad" just stfu when Pig explains all these MUs

 

[Pnut]

What happened to Kotal beats Kenshi 7-3

 

[MadeOfMetal]

Woman 1 has AIDS
Woman 2 has a contagious skin rot
Woman 3 is an active wanted serial killer

id have to pick option 2, sure they have cream for that and she could be sent to get some, 3 you would have to kill after sex and 1 is undo-able.

 

[MadeOfMetal]

I know the feeling. It's frustrating.

Being told to wait and play it out when the obvious is right in front of you, then in August 2016 have to say the same exact thing while everyone else has been uber buffed. Then other characters get torched or mega buffed without waiting to "play out" anything. That's the definition of contradiction.

The irony in it is having his MK9 variation named "Balanced", which can almost be perceived as a sign of trolling Kenshi players. The irony, the irony indeed.

yep i feel bad for kenshi, sub zero, triborg, and goro players

 

[Tweedy]

Grandmaster Sub Zero could be top 5 if the top 3 characters and Mystic Ermac didn't exist.

Lets be serious.

Edit: You can replace Mystic with D'vorah or Kung Jin, or whoever. My point is that he has a lot of winning match ups, he just loses to the top characters and a few here or there. If he lost 3-4 of those bad matches, he'd be fucking retarded. You can't play Sub vs Jax, Johnny, Jacqui, Kitana, Kotal, Liu Kang, Jason, Leatherface, Smoke, etc etc, and act like you're playing some mid or low tier character lol.

Sub-Zero and Triborg are way better than Kenshi and Goro tho.

If Alien, D'Vorah, Mileena, and Sonya got deleted then maybe.

Check the edit friend.

And also, kenshi could of used some nerfs in mk9 but he wasn't kabal broken. Pigs deserves all the credit for all his placings with kenshi. Literally no one else was placing top 8s with kenshi

 

[thlityoursloat]

This sounds about right.

This is a point I keep bringing up, GM needs to be kept in check by characters who ignore the clone. Yes, there are characters who can seriously fuck him up when they get past the clone, but getting past the clone can be such a fucking nightmare if you don't have hitboxless limbs, look at Unstoppable Jason.

 

[MadeOfMetal]

still paired against the top players they are not far apart

6-4 to a 5/5

but i get what you are saying.

Yeah that's true. He is literally two different characters. Sometimes he is the best character in the game, sometimes he is the worst. I'm not even exaggerating at all.

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

Sonic Fox thinks Mournful loses to Possessed Kenshi (in the Kitana matchup thread), why do you think it's even?

 

[thlityoursloat]

Jesus FUCKING christ, that Boneshaper matchup lol.
I don't face many Boneshapers as Kenshi but when I do, holy fucking shit. I've seen Pig go up against Wound and it was legit depressing.

[ando1184]

I think sub was mentioned bc of unbreakable, which I do believe is the worst in the game.

Fair enough. But still there is Grandmaster. Triborg can't be considered bad because of Smoke/Sektor, but Kenshi's best variation is either Possessed of Kenjutsu and they are both booty water.
