what i hate most about brawlers like kenji, moe, and larry, brawlers that are extremely strong or broken on release is that they typically can mess up a little bit in a matchup where an opponent plays perfectly and still win. While I do think that some brawlers should be able to have matchups where they dont need to play perfect to counter a brawler, having a brawler like kenji be able to counter over half of the brawlers in the game whilst not playing perfectly is wild. And this assumes that a person plays perfectly, which the average brawl stars player does not play perfectly.
i there should be a balance in brawlers of skill - reward, if skill is too high, the brawler will be hard to play but will also reward more if played perfectly, a low skill brawler (like showdown kit) shouldn't have as big of a advantage (reward). although low skill brawlers shouldnt be outright bad, they also shouldnt be broken. i think if they take that into consideration when balancing the meta would overall be more fun.
It is so funny just witnessing the sheer amount of people going “NUH-UH YOU CAN COUNTER HIM BY [Doing insert excuse]!” Now I just laugh at this whole thing. Now- If every single RU-vidr says “Kenji is incredibly broken!” I would assume that to be true especially with what his kit and arsenal has. All I can say is; If you defend this by saying he’s balanced, then you most likely maxed him out incredibly soon and are scared that your EZ WIN Brawler will get nerfed.
Recently I pushed Sam to rank 30 and it was so easy because every Kenji player I encountered couldn't realize Sam could counter him so easily. They thought they were immortal but I could drain their hp in less than 3 seconds with the proper set up.
@@foxfireballroom and he's wrong el primo literally wins in most match ups it all depends on skill plus in el primo part he didn't use his gadgets not even once which are very important to counter him plus in the video he was literally giving kenji free supers and in the same time missing el primo supers
I really hope Kenji doesn't get slaughtered by nerfs; he's the closest to being balanced of any brawler on release this year and I really dig the learning curve. A Nigiri Nemesis and/or super charge rate nerf would probably land him in a healthy place. I really enjoyed the vid tho, and series like this sounds like a really valuable resource.
Today i was pushing for brock's title and kenji was an ABSOLUTE menace, i had to be fully locked in every time he started chasing me and i did some Absolute insane shit with the Jump gadget and super One time, only for a Lily to magically appear in a near by Bush and kill me, so uhh atleast im getting Better with my man brock
How to counter Kenji: 1. Hold Brawl Stars icon until you saw the button with the trash can that say uninstall 2. Press it 3. Press Yes On a serious note assassins should not be meta. They always create an oppressive meta that forces you to play the exact type of brawlers. Like when Damage Dealer and Snipers at least you have a varied set of counters but Assassins and Artillery...straight up nope
I disagree with Belle’s placement, as with her second star power (stops newly marked enemies from reloading for 5 WHOLE SECONDS), she can save her super, and when she sees Kenji going for her she can super, which would almost always hit due to Kenji being close range, and kill him once he’s stuck next to her with no ammo Keep in mind that Belle dies to 3 slashes from Kenji or if both hits of his super land (literally deals the exact amount of health she has), but it’s definitely not an unwinnable matchup TLDR: Belle super stops reload if she has her first star power, survives 2 hits from Kenji, just use that star power if you see Kenji in ranked (you should be banning Kenji anyways)
I expect this video to be updated with Penny, Colonel Ruffs, Darryl, Otis, 8-Bit, and Stu Hypercharges along with Juju and Shade matchups. Otherwise, F+ for you, Mr. Bedlam.
35:00 as a kenji main i honestly push a frank everytime i see him bc i can easily dodge his first attacks and charge my super then when frank has super ( most of the time frank is now at les than half healt ) i use my super to dodge it and since he cant move while he supers its a guaranteed double hit than i use gadget to get healt back and frank is now 1 hit from dying so its a free kill
I feel like every brawler they release nowadays is really overpowered (like moe or kenji) and no skill making them pay to win even after the nerf they probably would still be really strong and I feel like they're doing this so they can make more money and attract little kids into it or make them feel good about winning with them so they will keep on playing and spending money on the game.
I’m 28 minutes into the vid and haven’t seen my boy Sam yet👀 been playing him in ranked since your videos and absolutely dumpstering people but now words gonna get out lmao
34:12 bruh, dash through him like Mortis, bait him to use his gadget or super finish him with super. Idk for me Frank is one of my favoriest targets in BS. Most of the time Frank players either miss every single hit or using super while i have mine so they just straight up loose
His numbers are clearly too high, his super shouldn't heal since he's already INVINCIBLE during it. I also don't understand why he doesn't stop where he slashes, nor does he end up where he started supering (he is always in a slightly different position depending on the direction he was walking before). His kit isn't even broken, which is why he isn't that strong compared to what we've seen so far. Larry and Lawrie for example are very well rounded, releasing with big stats they just didn't have anything to counter them, while Kenji "just" feels unfair
One thing abt this list is that it assumes that the kenji player plays him at least decently. 90% of kenji i played against and with just autolocks him against tanks or in open maps…. with minimal dodging…. So kenji in my eyes is not that great, but moe tho… I mean this mighg be a skill issue on my part with getting bad kenjis ig
I'd rather you play against the brawler being "tested" in the next video. Cause I trust you more to play well against the broken brawler of the month :P
but dont you think that primo with the other star power + damage gear + super gear can win this 1v1? i mean primo has a slow a unload speed but remeber that the slash from kenji is a window for primo
Can anyone tell me if cordelius’s star power mushroom kingdom actually heals your allies as well when you pick the mushrooms up. I tried to test this in the way that I waited until the very last second of when the shadow realm ends and picked them up but I don’t see my teammates getting affected by it.
I dont think this a good example of 1v1s. Unless your in duels, a lot of these matchups can change, from experience mortis can definitely beat kenji if he has his super especially if he chains super. piper beats him on a super open map or brawl ball deathmatch if they are good enough. There are probably more examples like this but also they guy ur playing against kinda stinks, if you watch it back he walks straight into almost every super. He didn’t understand that it hits diagonally and kept dodging it like a grom super, so he got hit so much when he easily good have avoided it. I could lowk add a bunch of timestamps but idc that much i remember jacky having a dumb thing. gale was bad y mas. also im not saying kenji aint broken he is just this shows a little in his favor.
Kenji cooks darryl,u just gave him 2 free wins and there is no way crow wins against kenji, btw maverick has an insane skill issue with darryl, stu and meg
I’d argue some matchups the opponent messed up. For example the surge match up where he should’ve jumped forwards or backwards instead of standing still
If frank is so good against kenji then how always my random's just feed super's and die🤔 Oh wait 🤦 Also it's crazy to me that crow gets super once every full moon but brawler's like kenji can get and cycle super's every second when crow super is just not impactful
