good breakdown dude, but, you completely forgot *Demon Slam*(Possessed), *TK Slash*(Balanced) or the *"Grab"*(Kenjutsu), basically full, mid, and close screen overhead moves, on Kenjutsu, is just a "Grab"......
You didn't highlight the DB4 for Balanced or Possessed. Balanced hits overhead and Possesed hits low. EX DB4 in Possessed is a great combo extender and can be dangerous once you condition the opponent to block the overhead from DF4 or from DB2. Otherwise great video!
Just want to say that in kenjutsu variation, he has a very great mixup - 3 1 1 for low, 3 1 and cancel into down forward 1 for overhead. It's very hard to deal with and is a great 50/50.
TheEtoimos That's the mixup - you either input the last 1 and get a low, or you instead use the overhead special. Ex it for a combo. It's relatively hard to react to.
Fantastic videos so far! Have you got one for quan chi coming soon? I was a huge quan main in mk9 but am having a hard time adjusting to his slower teleport and trance :(
Until they release Rain in a DLC, Kenshi is my main. Trying to land low-damage combos using Balanced and Kenjutsu doesn't seem too difficult (usually involving 114+QCB1+special). However, trying to get combos over 25 percent using less than 2 meter bars is difficult for me at the moment.
29 % with one bar, 42% with one bar (corner) in kenjustsu, is pretty simple , B1,DB1 (meterburn),D2 is 29% , can also BF3 at the end to make it 33% with one meter
So do you think Kenshi would be a good secondary character for a D'Vorah main? I love space oriented defense/balance rush characters. Any other secondary character recommendations?
Anyone have any tips for maining Kenshi? I just love the design and moves for this character but I'm worried it'll be difficult to use him effectively (I'm not bad but I'm not good at MK :) )
1evanc kenjustu for in your face, but his combo damage isnt very good, and has little to no potential imo, forces you to ex in combos all the time, i use balanced, hes a zoner, takes time to learn, different pace, but also good rush down, has good mixups if your creative with him, utilize all of his strings and specials, x ray is insanely easy to combo into, and the combos hit 30 percent easy with no meter, put pressure on your opponent, balanced is pretty intimidating when someone knows how to use it, and get your run down in mid combos for mixups, its fun
There's usually a variation for each returning character that's supposed to be their MK9 moveset. It's just for returning players that don't feel like experimenting...
Let's see Balance is based around his MK9 playstyle(not exactly the same,for better or worse I guess).I think this one is more to make MK9 Kenshi players to feel right at home. Kenjutsu is more of a classic Kenshi playstyle,he has all of his moves from MKDA like the TK slam and TK push aswell as being more of a swordsmen like he was in MKDA. Possessed is a completely new playstyle for Kenshi.
