Itsuka Kendo

[left pulsar]

Lol

[summer wolf]

that was better

[left pulsar]

Thanks

[summer wolf]

forcing kendo to play around the shield is pretty important from the times i've fought one in-game

especially like

shield > downward cannons

[left pulsar]

Ok

[summer wolf]

downward cannons literally just means "if you try to hit me here you will get hurt"

[left pulsar]

I was already trying to get better at aiming my alpha at you while you were in the air

[summer wolf]

even if a kendo claps you there she's not gonna win the trade if she eats two cannonballs

[left pulsar]

True

[summer wolf]

so sometimes you have to put up those killer barriers (cannons)

[left pulsar]

Ok

[summer wolf]

not as lethal as last patch but still hurt

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-tyler-gif-22297480

[left pulsar]

LOL

[summer wolf]

W ghost shield

[left pulsar]

Thanks

[summer wolf]

i'll do a few more im hungry

[left pulsar]

Finally a W

Ok

W Mirio

Caught me off guard since most usually beta spam

[summer wolf]

cooldowns are my greatest enemy here

[left pulsar]

Yea

Also I didn't know beta cancels Mirio's alpha

[summer wolf]

he can cancel alpha into it

[left pulsar]

From behind yea

[summer wolf]

no like

he can cancel the tap alpha combo straight into beta

[left pulsar]

And I can only cancel your alpha if you're charging it

[left pulsar]

Oh

Yea he can

[summer wolf]

oh wait you mean momo's beta

[left pulsar]

Yea

[summer wolf]

he isn't invulnerable until the actual lunge

so he can get hit during the charge

[left pulsar]

Ah

Make sense

Ok I'm not gonna purposely dodging

Your observation haki is too good

Ok I see now

Guess that didn't work

...that didn't work either

[summer wolf]

i wanted to reflect the cannonball lol

[left pulsar]

Understandable lol

Lol was trying to use my beta to force permeation

Ok clearly that won't work

You see me jumping when I'm trying to dodge right?

[summer wolf]

maybe

[left pulsar]

You have to tap jump twice in order to dodge on console

But I keep accidentally jumping

[summer wolf]

its a weird design element for them to put rolling on the same button as jumping

[left pulsar]

Pain

Yea

[summer wolf]

alright last one

[left pulsar]

Ok

Still going to use Mirio?

Oh nvm

[summer wolf]

i thought about it

[left pulsar]

Bakugo 💀

My weakness

[summer wolf]

left clicking incoming

[left pulsar]

Lol

[summer wolf]

nice

[left pulsar]

Thanks

Lol

[summer wolf]

alright ggs

[left pulsar]

Gg

Appreciate ya helping me out it was very informative

Overall I need to work on my aim more among other things

Guess that means I gotta use assault deku again

[summer wolf]

happy to help

https://tenor.com/view/speed-ishowspeed-speedy-ishowspeedy-crashout-gif-12313702839187803425

[left pulsar]

Lol

I take it back, I'll use Kendo more

I wanna get good aim like Rotty has

[past cove]

Gonna be pretty difficult since Rotty on PC

The unfortunate sides with being on console

[pure forum]

4 days left

[left pulsar]

Ain't that the truth lol

[past cove]

Ye

[left pulsar]

I may not be able to get my aim like PC players but should still try to improve on it more

[past cove]

I see

[left pulsar]

It's hard to aim characters towards the middle of the screen while they're moving so fast. Sometimes I get lost and confused on where their position is

Kinda like budokai tenkaichi/sparking zero when you gotta lock on to your opponent after you lost sight of them lol

[left pulsar]

Funny bug I discovered last season

[sour jetty]

@summer wolf can we run some 1s later?

[summer wolf]

when i get the time to sure

everybody tryna scrap with me now what did i do

[spark atlas]

i think people can learn a lot on how to play kendo and how to play against kendo pretty well by facing you

id like to at some point as well. lol

[left pulsar]

You're the best Kendo here

And it's better to learn from the best

[summer wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/embarrassed-uravity-ochaco-uraraka-anime-scratch-head-gif-14210772

i try to set examples

[pure forum]

Interesting banner on your profile

[summer wolf]

i know right

someone showed it to me

[pure forum]

I hope Mina gets into this game

[quartz sun]

Man people spreading hate

[vagrant stone]

You ran up to the melee character

You knocked him down then ran at him again here

[vivid sluice]

More so stood in place hoping to use the little beach thing as cover when they get up

[vivid sluice]

Beta does beeg damage

[vagrant stone]

Just run 💀

Just use alpha

Don't let her get close

[vivid sluice]

SHES FASTER

[vagrant stone]

YOU KNOCKED HER DOWN

I'm trying to give u advice

[left pulsar]

Silent you don't even play Kendo

[vivid sluice]

I didn’t wanna go out of bounds T-T

[vagrant stone]

It doesn't matter

[left pulsar]

For a Kendo glazer I'm pretty sure it does

[vivid sluice]

We stayed on the beach area

Silent rule

[vagrant stone]

Ice you're not playing fair rn

[left pulsar]

[vagrant stone]

Training mode 1v1s are so dumb and pointless

[left pulsar]

Nuh uh

You can learn a lot from it

[vagrant stone]

Things like this are one reason why

[left pulsar]

It's all about how you make use of the training, regardless of how it's done

[vagrant stone]

You can learn a limited amount of things. Better to play in customs if you want to have real depth to what you're learning

[left pulsar]

Depends on what you want to work actually

[vagrant stone]

Not at all. Training mode is too limited in what you can do just by it's very nature as well as these "silent" rules ppl come up with

[left pulsar]

Like practicing battle experience, do customs

But if you wanna work on something like practicing aim or working on a tech, training is good

It's straightforward

[vagrant stone]

Training mode is best used for things that aren't 1v1 related. When it comes to 1v1s it's good for quick rounds to learn MU's

[left pulsar]

I think that depends

[vivid sluice]

It’s a 1v1 it isn’t to teach me how to run away and heal and what not

It’s there so I can learn and get better at fighting

Also customs have ace players

All of them are ace players istg

[left pulsar]

Last time I did a 1v1 in customs, my sparing partner and I just stacked on items and hid until the circle was small enough for both of us to come out

[vagrant stone]

Training mode is still good just not really for this imho. Like ig the Ibara player here did learn to stay away from Kendo but due to how they played in training idk if they'll actually even do that

[vagrant stone]

Well you are a momo main

Not really anything else you can do in a 1v1

[left pulsar]

I guess

[vagrant stone]

It is what it is

[vivid sluice]

Just depends on the location

[vagrant stone]

I don't think momo really needs 1v1 training outside of training mode funny enough

[left pulsar]

I still prefer 1v1 in training, it's quick and to the point. I don't see the point of doing 1v1 in customs other than the fact that it allows you to flee if you're low on hp

[vagrant stone]

I'm talking about customs 1v1s not regular customs

[vivid sluice]

Also customs take too long

[vagrant stone]

customs is better because it's a simulated match

[left pulsar]

Exactly

They take too long

[vivid sluice]

Unless you can get a bunch of people together customs aren’t worth it

[left pulsar]

But it's unrealistic as you aren't gonna spend 10 minutes with one other person on a giant map as opposed to 24 teams

[vivid sluice]

Like 4 - 5 at least

[vagrant stone]

The length is no different than a regular match unless someone dies quickly (which does happen) Some ppl also like to not KO and instead reset after a down (but not in the very unrealistic way that happens in training)

[vagrant stone]

It's FAR more realistic than training mode 1v1s which are not organic in the slightest

[vivid sluice]

What I mean by “it takes too long” is because your looting and stockpiling to 1 v 1, 1 person

[left pulsar]

Yea 10 mins on a giant map where both ppl loot until final circle. Really realistic

[vagrant stone]

I think your opinion really just comes from your main. You don't really need 1v1s outside of just learning the gist of certain MU's

[left pulsar]

I don't only use Momo

[vagrant stone]

FIghting out in the open in the same spot over and over again without retreating, healing, using PU, or accounting for anything else. SOOOOOO realistic

[vagrant stone]

Then you'd be better off doing customs when using those other characters

[quartz sun]

Tf is this argument

[left pulsar]

As I said, it depends on what you're looking to train for.
Battle experience? Sure do customs.
Matchups? Tech learning? Training mode.

I'mma tell you right now in terms of matchups it'll make no difference if Momo 1v1 a Dabi in either scenario the outcome would remain the same.

[vagrant stone]

At this point it kind of is heading that way. I just started talking to say Ibara shouldn't fight Kendo the way that I was seeing. Aside from that me and Ice just have a difference of opinion when it comes to 1v1s. I'll leave it at that

[vivid sluice]

It’s like 10 hours of stretch’s to do 1 push up

It doesn’t have to be full on realistic just has to get most of the point across

[vagrant stone]

I mean Tech dabi easily beats momo

[left pulsar]

Really it depends on the player

[vagrant stone]

If you want to "beat" a character on momo you just spam cannons from a distance or wait for a chance to hit them with cannons while they're busy

[left pulsar]

I beat Dabi's more often than not in close combat

[vagrant stone]

alpha is strong on momo

[left pulsar]

So is Dabi's gamma and beta

Which negates Momo's alpha and beta

and gamma

[vagrant stone]

When used right dabi wins for sure. It comes down to the player at the end of the day

[left pulsar]

That's what I said and is my exact point

Certain characters do have gaps in MU like Cementoss vs Momo

Momo loses 9/10 times

[vagrant stone]

Everyone has gaps

One good example is Iida and tech dabi

[left pulsar]

Some are larger than others

[vagrant stone]

I just played someone the other day in training because he insisted on it and I stood in place and killed him effortlessly each round. That isn't happening in a real match or even customs

[left pulsar]

Well yea, the point is they need practice with MUs

In an actual match things are bound to go differently I mean it is a battle royale

[vagrant stone]

You like training mode so I'll just let you be. If I take the time to 1v1 I want it to be meaningful and for tech dabi it never is outside of customs. I think customs is simply superior in general as well but it doesn't matter too much. Most ppl don't even 1v1 and if they do they don't do it often.

[left pulsar]

I mean I get it. Customs lets you heal, use items and do whatever you normally do in an actual match. But honestly it really doesn't make that much difference to me in training but as I mentioned earlier it all depends on what you're looking for.

Really my point is 1v1 in training isn't useless like you claim it to be. Whether it be training or customs, both have their beneficial uses

[vagrant stone]

When you put it like that I have to agree

[vagrant stone]

I wasn't even trying to completely invalidate training mode but my bias and tendency to go to extremes just ended up making this misunderstanding happen. I just was trying to say IMO the 1v1 would've been better in customs but I felt so strongly about it I just said something I didn't even mean. I'm just used to saying it because that's just how I normally do things but I know it isn't an objective truth so sorry for kind of getting heated there. I gotta word these things better because other people can't read my mind 😔

[left pulsar]

Tha'ts understandable. Now that aside, when are you going to live up to your name and use Kendo you Big Fist glazer?

[vagrant stone]

I'm trying 😭

I asked Isagi for tips

[left pulsar]

Good

[vagrant stone]

But in return he says I need to get 15 KO's with her so I'm scared

[left pulsar]

Should be easier to use Kendo on PC compared to console, at least based on Isagi's experience

[vagrant stone]

Isagi is just good though let's be real 💀 Today he pulled off a really impressive thing with her in the tournament

[left pulsar]

What did he do?

[vagrant stone]

BUT I will still do my best regardless

[left pulsar]

That's the spirit

[vagrant stone]

Won a 1v2. Basically a 1v3

[left pulsar]

Isagoat

[vagrant stone]

And won the round

[left pulsar]

Awesome

Can't say I'm surprised tho

[vagrant stone]

Yeah, he's awesome

[left pulsar]

Facts

[summer wolf]

uhhhhh

yap yap yap

valid points on both sides

training mode 1v1s are not the most realistic but they’re good for learning or just getting quick rounds done

thats all there is to it

i have time after 6pm est today if you wanted to play

[sour jetty]

@summer wolf sounds good 👍

[sour jetty]

@summer wolf you free now?

[summer wolf]

68066 when ur done

@sour jetty we using tuning?

[sour jetty]

sure

[summer wolf]

or do we wanna keep this vanilla

alr

[sour jetty]

that was wild lol

the armor through my melee is weird though

[summer wolf]

mb had to take a call

[summer wolf]

kendo's clap armor is deceptively long

it lasts a little bit after the clap ends

which is why whiff punishing it with something like a melee is tricky

especially here in the ditto

which is why i play around what you might do after the whiffed/rolled clap

[coral crater]

rotty is a glitcher

[sour jetty]

that was actually wild

air melee behind shield

[summer wolf]

block this overhead

wanna try fighting in a different spot?

[sour jetty]

umh sure

[summer wolf]

i didn't realize you had revenge strike lmao

[sour jetty]

my wallrunner is bugged

I dont have revenge strike

[summer wolf]

we can reset if you want

so that the tunings work lol

[sour jetty]

yea lets do taht

I wanna run wall run combat lol

trying to get better at it

These matches are crazy @summer wolf

LOL

[summer wolf]

hype moments and aura

[sour jetty]

I can do a few more and then go eat

[summer wolf]

i was about to say the same thing

[sour jetty]

yea sure

[summer wolf]

yep

nvm lock in

[sour jetty]

ggs

[summer wolf]

ggs

you were great

[sour jetty]

that was so much fun lol

we should have done the wallrun battles at start lol

[summer wolf]

true

idk if you wanted any advice or if we were just fighting for fun but i had a few thoughts

[sour jetty]

sure always open to it im fairly new to kendo

[spark schooner]

Hold on was the new kendo skill set tomorrow?

[bold fulcrum]

almost

[spark schooner]

Kendo warzone soon

[somber nymph]

If 800 tickets ain't enough I'll at least be able to pity for her new costume

[summer wolf]

locked tf in

ranked!!

that's a new damage PR for ranked as well

[lethal lagoon]

Man

Ima start seeing Kendo and Monoma soon, since everyone is gonna play Kendo's Skillset

Which I'm sorta glad, Since Kendo's are very rare, same with Ibara

[lethal lagoon]

17????

Also that's a pretty smooth Kendo Custom Skin

[summer wolf]

it's my personal one

[summer wolf]

it was lowkey an uphill fight that whole time

had a deku, embrit aizawa and hawks all on different teams looking at me

eventually i singled out the hawks and won

[left pulsar]

Amazing

[past cove]

2 days left…

(Probably gonna make my montage intro today and show it here)

[somber nymph]

I'm excited asf

First time using Tuning on Kendo

[bold fulcrum]

https://youtu.be/kpTf4QrJbT8?si=WSBcB0bCFzl8Ac55

this clip is incredibly funny when you consider the fact that everthing that happened since I activated the Blue Card wasn't intentional at all

my plan was to run to that wall to stay out of the storm

unfortunately, the game did not agree

[summer wolf]

i should be at 1700 exactly on the day of her release

[somber nymph]

I'm at around 900 which I'm fine with since if I don't get it I can at least get her PUR and be happy with that

i think after i claim the vigilante login bonus from today ill be sitting at 2100

[uncut latch]

kendo level order?

[cyan marten]

Not hating but

#kendoaintneverdidthatmove 🗣️🔥 💯

[summer wolf]

A4 > G4 > [sometimes B4] > A9 > G9 > B9

is what i personally do but many newer kendo players do the opposite

G9 > A9 > B9 or G4 > A4 > G9 > A9 > B9

[quartz sun]

"newer" as if yours is the best

[summer wolf]

no clue what you're trying to say but you're allowed to say ur a clap merchant

i just gave him 3 different orders to try so hop off

[quartz sun]

"people who don't know how to play use this while I use this"

[summer wolf]

i noticed in the preview vids but can tell they changed her gamma bit

[quartz sun]

didn't need to add in the superiority there

[summer wolf]

so you're just making it weird to be weird

there was no superiority in that message

i literally just said it's my preferred leveling method because many many kendos level gamma first instead

quit trying to pick a fight

[pure forum]

...

[quartz sun]

Well at least your name is accurate

[summer wolf]

blocking me over that is insane work

you got that tho

[quartz sun]

I block those I shouldn't talk to

Less stupid stuff that way

[uncut latch]

thank you

[bold fulcrum]

Mario Kart World released a month ago and it does not have a better shortcut than this

[pure forum]

Man

[summer wolf]

yeye

like i said if that one doesn’t work as well you can try the other options

kendo’s pretty flexible between both

[wise pier]

I've been having more fun leveling alpha than gamma on her tbh

[summer wolf]

i just think its better

[wise pier]

I might try a4 g4 a9 but I've been going for a9 g9

[summer wolf]

but i see a lot of people talking about how they struggle to hit rocks and its objectively easier to just level up clap

unfortunately some peeps took that the wrong way ig

[summer wolf]

i’d go straight to maxxing alpha but i do think having G4 is important

which is why i’ll do that before

[somber nymph]

Tbh I find Kendo fun even while focusing Gamma

Shield is pretty handy+that fat stack of 400 HP

[vivid sluice]

I have to ask before the skill set drops

Why do you all play kendo?

[alpine mountain]

love kendo👍

[vivid sluice]

But why?

[alpine mountain]

i liked her character and personality herself

[somber nymph]

She's a very fun melee centric character

Not many quite like it

[alpine mountain]

that’s kinda it if i’m being honest lol

[somber nymph]

I ain't even watched the anime so I couldn't tell ya about all that lol

[summer wolf]

i play fighting games

and i just prefer close combat brawling over keepaway

a lot of the characters i play in games often have a shield too lol

[vivid sluice]

What about the combo queen?

[vivid sluice]

Oh so the character herself

Makes sense

[alpine mountain]

yess lol

well i for sure can say i play ibara for the aiming skill, also liking her character, and just being the support for my duo

[vivid sluice]

[vivid sluice]

Block is 95% universal to fighting games

[pure forum]

Another Kendo to counter my assault kiri

I can already tell ppl are gonna hate her skill set

[bold fulcrum]

People were unable to do anything against her shield

I felt powerful

[pure forum]

When I played the beta, she seemed pretty fun

Kendo is the first character I got, besides the other free characters

[quartz sun]

I like playing supports/tanks

Kendo fills a good role with being able to cover for her team, but also is able to punish people really well

[spark atlas]

i like a9 a lot, i usually nuke people afterwards with it so g9 comes fast

[quartz sun]

Two alphas into gamma is one of the fastest kill times on a downed person

[soft osprey]

Can't wait to see what strike kendo gonna be like

We all agree people is gonna struggle against her when she come out

[quartz sun]

Depends on hp

She might keep her yellow health which would be an issue

But yeah, she has easy to land attacks and can bait people with her dash

[soft osprey]

Very true it does depends on hp

If they buff her hp with strike then it'll most definitely be a problem

[spark atlas]

she is supposed to have 350 i believe

[quartz sun]

thats gonna be a menace

Her kit is built to be another assault which is funny

nothing really strike about her

[past cove]

THE ALPHA STAGGERS

OH GOD

[quartz sun]

its rapid toga all over again, literally

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah I remember I had a conversation with someone that

The rolls should be kinda swapped

Roles*

But i like helicopter Kendo

[lethal lagoon]

I remember a LOT of Kendo's use Trance-Blow or Embrittment, so maybe start there

wall runner is cracked on her as well

I GOT THE SKILL SET AND KENDOS YUKATA BEFORE EVEN GETTING 1 FOR IBARA

Glad I saved 1k tickets

Hi kendo!!!

Hi again kendo!!!

[tacit path]

Also can help fly

Air melees also give a lot of momentum

I am expecting all of you to dissect this new character in the next DAY

[tacit path]

Oh yeah and this Ofcource

[tacit path]

She fast

[livid rain]

Helloo, im trying out the new skill set

Can someone explain me how to fly witt that meele so far?

[vivid niche]

Spin and then melee, then keep meleeing

[tacit path]

You simply melee mid gamma, it’s a awkward because if you mess up you stay in place

[livid rain]

Yes i always stay in plays

😭😹

[tacit path]

Well actually I underestimated just how high kendo can get with beta + gamma

Yeah I take back mostly what I said

She can do do it everywhere easily and chain the two

She’s faster then red kiri

[livid rain]

The new kendo quirk is amazing

I played for so long mtlady that i totally feel overwhelmed and overpowered with all this damage and mobility😹

When u both play kendo and no one wants to make the first step

[spark atlas]

[livid rain]

Conrats. Shes so fun

[summer wolf]

my shackles have been unbound

would you guys want a day 1 knowledge dump from me if i edited one together?

[spark atlas]

yessss!!!

[summer wolf]

i’ll get on to roll soon and see what i can do then

i don’t think this character is gonna be insane but she does have Stuff

[pure forum]

Twice gamma got fixed

[tacit path]

Fax tho fr

[tacit path]

Nah ngl she’s an absolute menace

[summer wolf]

after all i’ve done in the lab with her pre-release i think she’s gonna be the same kind of threat rapid all might is

they ARE good but kind of rare and maybe a little niche

i could see the spin demons being trouble for people though

i have to see what exactly they changed from pre to post release other than beta

[tacit path]

Yeah niche

[summer wolf]

i found this 5 minutes into season 11

[tacit path]

That is not niche

[summer wolf]

did you know there’s an extended version of it?

sends you about thrice as far

[tacit path]

Yeah there probably is I seen a but of it

This is bread and butter for me

[manic steeple]

-1 Damage: Niche

Also -1 Damage: shows a broken ahh tech on the same scale as Strike Kirishima's movement tech

Also- is it just me, or does Strike Kendo feel more like a Tech with way too much movement than a Strike with way too much movement?

[tacit path]

And she gets to have her flying shenanigans

[manic steeple]

Oh yeah! 1 Gamma nearly crosses the fricking USJ bridge lol

[tacit path]

She’s faster then kiri, it’s not impenetrable but she gets like 80% reduction and can constantly roll

[tacit path]

I’m low key not even toooo hard on flying techs she has

But beta not taking ammo on dash is stupid it literally already won me 5 games in a row (no one’s playing tho rn lol)

Change that immediately.

[manic steeple]

Yeah for sure! I wouldn't have thought you'd be able to roll mid dash- it's absolute cancer

[tacit path]

I seen like rotty mentioned and the clips I seen you can go even faster probably with gliding shenanigans

But as I found in 5 seconds more then enough with that defensive aspect

[manic steeple]

yeah- Ridiculous character lmao

[summer wolf]

i just had the worst rolls i've ever had in my entire life

spent all 2000

no outfit

no skillset

i had to pity just to use her

[wanton magnet]

They knew you’d be a menace with the kit, I’ve seen your clips with assault kendo 😅

[wise pier]

got her

first 10-roll

well

it was the only one I could've done lmao

[wise pier]

Anyone got a good level-up path for Strike Kendo? Also, anyone able to explain how exactly to steer her gamma? I haven't been able to get the hang of it

[tacit path]

I’m staring with doing level 4 from alpha, beta, gamma

Then B max
G max
A max but idk

Gamma is a very interesting move with heavy emphasis on momentum

Basically where ever the center of your camera is she will go there

[wise pier]

and that can't be properly steered in any way I take it

it feels so sluggish to move around with lmao

[tacit path]

Atleast if you have a bunch of momentum in one direction no not really

[wise pier]

I see

thanks

while I'm here

is it worth using Trance Blow on her?

[tacit path]

No

Not on red

Alphas stubs and it’s not hard to hit beta/gamma. you can confirm melee though so maybe it’s good for teams

[wise pier]

I could keep that for assault kendo but I have no idea what else to use

[tacit path]

And actually, if you can work it you can force your enemy to eat your beta

[wise pier]

ig I have a build with resist cold/embrittlement

[tacit path]

Ye kendo trance blow go brrrrr

[tacit path]

I mean you can resist cold anyway with kendo’s beta and gamma lol

[sour jetty]

this checks out 💀

[somber nymph]

Anyone know any good Tuning sets with the new PUR?

[left pulsar]

Strike Kendo straight up feels like a DBZ character and I'm all up for it

[coarse cloud]

Yeahhh… I see this I might just back out atp 😭

[quiet shale]

lmaooo I found this myself. Like 30 seconds into training in the lab I'm like wait I can hold this thats right. Hmmmmm what would work best? I'll try spinning, thats a good trick!

[pure forum]

That's cool

[quiet shale]

Yeah nice for shortrange high speed movement or even to fake people out with your beta

[manic steeple]

God dammit, ain't no way- WHY?!

[frigid rivet]

can you explain?

[spark atlas]

this is crazy lmao

[pure forum]

Balanced as all things should be

[bold fulcrum]

i can't breathe that's so stupid

imagine if embrittlement didn't got nerfed

[left pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/i-need-it-spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-gif-4883506

[left pulsar]

The game gave me her emote and made me thought I was getting a skill set I'm genuinely furious then proceeded to give me bakugo pur and iida voicelines.

Why is byking deliberately giving me stuff for characters I don't use? It's like my gatcha luck flips 180 on PS it's infuriating

[bold fulcrum]

400 TICKETS WAS ENOUGH

LETS GOOOOOOO

was too afraid to spend everything to get the skill set

[left pulsar]

I spent everything and I mean everything and got nothing in return

I normally don't go this far for a skill set but this one vibes with me so well because it reminds me of DBZ

[somber nymph]

I'm probably gonna save at a later date

Hopefully some other banger looking skill set comes out so I can get both and be happy that way

[bold fulcrum]

don't know who's the next character to release

hope it's Stain

[left pulsar]

I just want Kendo's Skill Set so I can save up for Momos

Not gonna roll for anything else until then

[spark atlas]

ive heard its gonna be tamaki

[polar steppe]

I just got the quirk set first try

[bold fulcrum]

still didn't got her casual skin

[bold fulcrum]

unexpected, but he could be fun to play

[polar steppe]

What’s the best tuning for her

[summer wolf]

in a bit

[supple garnet]

1900 tickets for the quirk set, I got a ton of duplicate quirk sets, one single costume and it was a Bakugo costume, still no 3* on Kendo, nor Ibara 🤡

I love gacha games 😄

[pure forum]

First impressions

[supple garnet]

Beta cancelling is fun

[pure forum]

I think assault kendo is better but strike kendo is much easier to use

[left pulsar]

It's robbery I'm telling you

[supple garnet]

Assault kendo does seem stronger for sure, but this is day one

You can jump cancel Gamma, idk if this has uses yet, but I hope people find some stuff

I know you can jump cancel Gamma into Alpha but being anywhere close to the opponent after that for a follow-up is hard

Also her Beta cooldown is L O N G

[spark atlas]

beta is a diet version of assault kendo gamma

does more damage, has way longer cooldowns and less charges

[supple garnet]

Kiri's Beta provide : more defense (totaly immune to most stuff)
More damage (hits harder by itself)
More combo ability
More cancelling options (Kendo can only cancel into roll, which itself cannot be cancelled, Kiri can cancel into Alpha that cancels itself into any other quirk)
More uses : Kiri only consumes some % to attack, Kendo uses it all.
More mobility : Kiri goes faster and in the air, Beta > Roll cancel > Beta > Roll cancel is fast, but nowhere near as good
More range
Bigger hitbox

Please explain to me how they came up with this and thought it was acceptable?

[pure forum]

Not me btw

[supple garnet]

Oh, Gamma into air melee looks sick af

The momentum looks fun to mess around with

[vivid sluice]

How is her tuning btw?

[pure forum]

Not great

5% damage increase when you land a melee

Brotherly

[polar steppe]

I had the most kills in every phase

[spark atlas]

its so mid

https://tenor.com/view/bleak-it's-bleak-shaking-head-its-bleak-black-and-white-gif-9592734580409210082

[supple garnet]

Bruh

Gamma cancelling into Melee is sick af

[spark atlas]

i know they didnt want it to be busted, but we couldnt even get 10%?

lmao

[pure forum]

Embrittlement is currently 10%

[quartz sun]

did you flip out when you got the kendo voiceline?

[left pulsar]

I did, only to get an emote

[supple garnet]

I mean, since Kendo herself can’t use it, if it’s weaker it’s better for her lol

Embrittlement seems optimal for Red Kendo rn

Day 1 feeling

[vivid sluice]

I thought I just got the skin tbh

I expect the worst most of the time

[spark atlas]

real intense strike kendo gameplay

[vivid sluice]

I actually got the yukata right after

[vivid sluice]

“🎵The only way to win is not to playyyyyy🎵”

[spark atlas]

also figured id share, some fun mini combos for when your beta is on cooldown

[quartz sun]

man I wish I had 600 more tickets

[ebon knot]

It was all the same thing. Just a different order.

[spark atlas]

partially

i incorporated beta into one. also the double alpha as theyre falling isnt super consistent, so thats why i showed one leading with it

[summer wolf]

@frigid rivet this is what i'm dubbing the extended b-slide

you can hold gamma for longer but this is just the proof of concept

[knotty latch]

this is the video i needed to see ty, shes a melee combo god

seems like her knockdown values are low af on melee

[stuck plaza]

-1000 tickets no kendo quirk skill🥲🤧

[bold fulcrum]

i'm so confused about how to play this character

[stuck plaza]

Guess I'm sticking with the og and atleast I got the skin

[bold fulcrum]

i discovered a lot of things to do with her

[bold fulcrum]

but they don't seem to work together

[solid jolt]

i dont feel this new skill set makes up for what the og lost

[summer wolf]

?

og lost nothing

[solid jolt]

her unconditional damage

[summer wolf]

huh?

[spark atlas]

kendo only had her damage nerfed for a little bit

[summer wolf]

i don't understand

[spark atlas]

shes back to normal

has been for a while

[solid jolt]

no i mean the skill set seems worse then her normal self

[spark atlas]

ah

shes still new yet, its too early to tell

[solid jolt]

she lost the ability to defend against shinzo and aizawa

all for a beta that she has to take damage to get the full effect from

[spark atlas]

fair enough, you just have to play different around them. i didnt have any issues against aizawa/shinso today. i just went for alpha melee combos on them instead and that felt pretty successful.

her alpha staggering helps a lot

[solid jolt]

the alpha stagger is nice

i did expect more damage from the charged version though

100 ish for a hard knockdown
being a strike that means she competes against stuff like shoto alpha, denki alpha, strike deku alpha

having to charge to do so little seems underwhelming

[summer wolf]

meh

her alpha isn't really the damage dealer of her kit

more like a stun or keepaway move

the real damage comes from beta/gamma

mainly gamma and the combos it allows

[solid jolt]

betas damage is conditional and using gamma offensively can be risky as thats your escape as well

[summer wolf]

we'll have to see

so far these faults have not been giving me trouble

the only thing i haven't liked was trying to move around cleanly w/o wallrunner

[solid jolt]

more of preference for me so far
she unironically just does more damage as assault so far imo

[tacit path]

Oh that Neet though you are using a gamma lol

[solid jolt]

for less cooldown cost

[supple garnet]

One thing I kind of like about Strike Kendo is that she feels like a « tech oriented » character, similar to what Assault Kendo was feeling like in early seasons.
Jump cancelling Melee and Gamma
Cancelling Gamma into Melee
Air Beta, hold a sec, release, Gamma hold, Melee

[supple garnet]

what the?!

Yo

This is sick

[tacit path]

Ye though that wasn’t a nerf to kendo specifically

That damage was lost from the passive tun nerf and the embrittlement nerf but it ain’t like yellow kendo doesn’t hit like a truck lol

[dark sail]

Assault kendo is so annoying

[solid jolt]

now if strike kendo beta is fully charged thats some of the best burst damage ive seen
but again she has to hurt herself for it

[tacit path]

She could just hold it till it’s lower levels then beta cancel forever

Like that

[tacit path]

It only goes away when she palms (she will auto palm if you hold 1% not moving for a while) so you have all the control

[solid jolt]

you take damage while locking yourself in an animation

[summer wolf]

you aren't locked into it tho

you can cancel it w/ gamma or roll at any time

[solid jolt]

other then roll

[summer wolf]

and since you can cancel it with gamma it also means you can cancel into a jump if needed

[solid jolt]

i guess
id rather just have the shield that blocks more and forces people to play around it

[summer wolf]

we'll be alright

[solid jolt]

but shes new so im looking forward to anything that will make her more appealing

[summer wolf]

think of it like kendo losing some defense in exchange for more ways of doing burst damage and navigation

cuz her movement is undoubtedly better and getting away was one of assault's biggest issue by far

[solid jolt]

yes it was

a plus that the gamma is armored too

so she doesnt have the issue of assault ochaco when shes stunned out her beta

[somber nymph]

same

[gusty narwhal]

Is it just me or when you melee with strike kendo she has more forward lunge?

[summer wolf]

the tracking on her melee is significantly farther and travels faster

[gusty narwhal]

Ah okay cause I definitely don't remember it being like that

[summer wolf]

she’s the first skillset to have something other than the quirks deliberately changed

[gusty narwhal]

I see, I suppose it's to make up for her slow reloads

Which is surprising, thought she'd have quick reloads like yellow ochako or something

But I actually kinda like it that way

[mossy coral]

strike kendo quirkset, get into a match, rapid kendo

[tacit path]

Trying to get dem combos down fr

[knotty latch]

delete the video so ppl dont learn how to play her

[tacit path]

Ye here melee go brrr

[pure forum]

We don't gatekeep what the character can do in here

[tacit path]

Redacted has spoken

[gusty narwhal]

Facts, thank you for speaking up

[pure forum]

Omg

I GOT HER

AND HER COSTUME IN MY FIRST SUMMON

I was screaming ain't no way

I've never been this lucky

[soft osprey]

I'm already knowing she's a problem in game

[pure forum]

I'm crying
I've never been this lucky before

[supple garnet]

Congrats

[supple garnet]

How do you achieve this speed?

I think I'm missing something

[spark atlas]

all mights pointing at you saying youll be the next kendo

[knotty latch]

the inertia from bamma

balpha

beta*

[supple garnet]

I can't get it to move that fast

Or maybe it is and I don't realise it

[summer wolf]

beta > gamma (hold) > jump cancel > beta during jumpsquat

during the jumpsquat you're still counted as being grounded

which allows you to do beta again while still being able to roll it

[supple garnet]

Oooohhhhhh

[tacit path]

Jump cancels are also in combos if you decide to do those

[supple garnet]

Yeah I used jump cancel to combo faster from melee to beta

[spark atlas]

how do you jump cancel? simple as just jumping when doing a move or is there more to it?

[supple garnet]

Yup

[summer wolf]

basically

[supple garnet]

Is there a timing to Beta > Gamma to get more speed or is it normal if I just get Gamma's regular speed?

[summer wolf]

gamma will decelerate gradually

[supple garnet]

Gotcha

On the video it looks so much faster than when I play

But I think it's just in my head

[bold fulcrum]

Strike Kendo gotta be the most complex character ever released

I'm learning something new every hour

[gusty narwhal]

People on reddit already calling for nerfs 😭

[tacit path]

Yeah no wonder

[pure forum]

I'm glad twice gamma got fixed

[knotty latch]

her comboing is so fun its like im playing bluch ocha for first time agane

now its actually to try it in battle instead of npc

[supple garnet]

Just like every other new character

[frigid rivet]

yea

they did the same with rapid almight

[spark atlas]

lmao

rapid all might is the least problematic character in a while tbh

[frigid rivet]

yea

[supple garnet]

Agreed

[summer wolf]

beta > gamma is so good for starting fights

you go so fast

[empty magnet]

beta increases speed?

[summer wolf]

the initial dash IS a burst of speed

and gamma preserves some of that speed for a short amount of time

[empty magnet]

ahh that's cool

[frigid rivet]

i cant time it correctly

beta into gamma feels hard to do

[tacit path]

Are you holding beta for a moment? If you just tap it can kinda just ignore you so you hold it for a millisecond longer

[frigid rivet]

i tap always

[tacit path]

Try holding it for a tiny second longer

Then release

Then hold gamma perhaps

[supple garnet]

Tap Beta cannot be cancelled into Gamma I think

Slight hold makes it 100% consistent for me

Very slight hold just enough for the shields to briefly appear

[frigid rivet]

but if i hold beta i activate the shield

[tacit path]

There’s nothing wrong with that

[supple garnet]

Yeah you can hold a tiny bit, release Beta and while you’re zooming forward, before striking, hold Gamma

[frigid rivet]

ah okay okay

now i get it

[cunning raft]

plz no nerfs i dont want her to become another mt lady a hero with high skill ceiling ;_;

[frigid rivet]

btw i think ill go for space hop / willpower on her

if i get enough tuning materials

[cunning raft]

space hopp + ochaco sa make her travel across the map in seconds

[frigid rivet]

i love space hop. since i play red shiggy and shinso a lot

i am a glazer of that tuning basically xd

kendo air melee also lets you jump further

[gusty narwhal]

I was low-key thinking about putting hawks tuning on her so I can track and opponents that somehow get away from me

[frigid rivet]

so there is a good use of space hop

[gusty narwhal]

Loved using that on kurogiri and just meleeing people to death

[frigid rivet]

i think there are better ones for red kendo

but if you got problems finishing people i get that

[gusty narwhal]

I think I loved the fact that I knew where people are at all times as long the effect is still active

I have no problems with confirming kills with kendo but sometimes their teammates come to the rescue so I have to back off

Either that or third parties

However I did think about using space hop with wall runner

[quiet shale]

Sometimes it really do be like that 🙈. Whoever this Kendo was gave me a good laugh with that one 😂

[cunning raft]

she is for real the one who can go after monoma lol

[gusty narwhal]

Mhm for sure

[quiet shale]

Tsu has a good chance with basic alpha reload management

[pure forum]

I only have her Yukata costume

Any build recommendations?

[quiet shale]

a wall runner build would be good for either Kendo. I wanna make an embrittlement and fixer build for her dangerous variant

[pure forum]

I could make a wallrunner build but her new outfit doesn't have great special tuning slots

[tacit path]

She is NOT to the level of Mt lady

But sure can we increase this skill floor though?

Low key I think melee gliding is fine and techs itself

Biggest problem is beta doesn’t go away

Also get rid of alpha stun

[frigid rivet]

as you said its not that crazy (the jump tech) and if you use your beta its on cooldown

reload speed is pretty high on her beta

[pure forum]

Her alpha feels like a combo starter imo. It flows smoothly into her other moves

[frigid rivet]

i like the alpha

[tacit path]

It won’t be crazy if she loses her beta because yeah she has to commit, and she loses a gamma per use

It’s a lil insane but can be fair

[tacit path]

I’m fine with charged alpha no issues with that especially when they keep air recovering

But uncharged basically stun locking you to level 1 150 damage bare minimum is very rough

[pure forum]

Her alpha does feel clunky

Uncharged alpha

[tacit path]

Maybe slightly increase fire rate remove stun better then current

[spark atlas]

i think my only complaint about her skillset is that i cant cancel a charged alpha

otherwise she feels amazing

[supple garnet]

You can roll out of uncharged alpha

Maybe not at all ranges

I mean

The opponent can roll between uncharged alpha

But maybe not point blank

[supple garnet]

Yeah annoying

[knotty latch]

how do u fly actually UP with her ????

what is the button to press go to UP

[polar steppe]

You look up

[knotty latch]

on her with keyboard

[frigid rivet]

you jump and look up

[knotty latch]

it tracks where ever ur aiming ?

[frigid rivet]

kinda yea

[knotty latch]

im over here trying to go up while looking behind me its so anoyying

[frigid rivet]

but you can only go in one direction

if you use gamma in the air

[knotty latch]

i see

[frigid rivet]

you dont use it to long anyway

you go up and then do air melee

[knotty latch]

it was trying to go up but i went down and got me killed

[tacit path]

Yes

If you wanna go up generally look up, you can also shoot up by beta cancel into gamma though remember you’ll be kinda locked that way unless you start melees

[knotty latch]

and now im seeing more ibara trying to abuse exploit its so over lmao

[frigid rivet]

i cant do beta into gamma cancel. really unconsistent for me

[tacit path]

Did the advice we give you not work?

It works the same for air too that’s actually one of the only ways you can change your gamma trajectory. You will need to use both gammas however

[frigid rivet]

i dont like the holding beta version

[tacit path]

What do you mean?

It’s the only way you can do it you just hold for 1 millisecond

Looks like this specifically lol

[frigid rivet]

mhm

only way i guess

[bold fulcrum]

i feel bad for her

she tried so hard to escape

[past cove]

I got heavy shafted

[sour jetty]

I got her in 2 10 pulls lets go

i got everything i wanted from 10 10 pulls

i also got rapid bakugo and tech denki, so theres that

[stuck plaza]

😭

[pure forum]

To make you feel better

I got her on my first 10 pulls

[gusty narwhal]

would strike kendo benefit from electrification?

[summer wolf]

no

it would only make GB followups from gamma easier (in theory) but she can already extend from those without it

[gusty narwhal]

Ah okay and what about trance blow? I'm assuming it would hinder her combos

[pure forum]

Yep

[gusty narwhal]

Gotcha thanks

w clip

I wish they release they more characters like this, cancels/combo potential

[pure forum]

That ain't my clip

[left pulsar]

She can cover so much distance it's insane

[spark atlas]

how do i do the animation cancel that people are doing for the gamma melee beta?

[tacit path]

If you hold up your shield for a split second and dash with beta before you palm you can cancel it to roll or gamma

Gamma can be straight cancelled into melee

[spark atlas]

no no not for movement im talking about for the combo

[spark atlas]

one at the start of this clip

[tacit path]

Oh you short hop

[spark atlas]

short hop?

[tacit path]

If you jump it can reset you to immediate do something

[tacit path]

You just press jump and press what you want fast

[spark atlas]

I SEEEEE

thank you

immediately got it

[left pulsar]

I figured out (or maybe I'm slow) how to extend melee combo (pretty sure you can do this with any character but it works better than some)

Hold jump while meleeing after the 3rd hit

Normal melee I did first
Extended melee I did second

[sour jetty]

Yea briny found this earlier

[spark atlas]

i just did this as well wth

this is crazy

[left pulsar]

Ye

[spark atlas]

it does 256 with my build

free guard break off of a melee lmao

[left pulsar]

Lol

[left pulsar]

I actually figured it out by observing him from a clip someone posted

[past cove]

Lmao

[tacit path]

I love her air melee

[left pulsar]

Awesome

[fair echo]

How much damage reduction does kendo give?

[left pulsar]

How'd you cancel your air beta with gamma it didn't work when I tried it

[tacit path]

Are you making sure to hold out your beta for a millisecond before you do the dash?

If you just spam tap it doesn’t work

Like this

[left pulsar]

Ah ok

I'll try that thanks

[fair echo]

How much damage reduction does kendo's stance give her?

[deft lava]

Her stance is pretty much prime Sisterly

Also is anyone on, I wanna check sumn rq

[left pulsar]

Can confirm it works. Thanks again

[spark atlas]

point

[left pulsar]

W

Also I'll be taking that

[tacit path]

Any tips on kendo melee tracking from gamma?

Really tough but if you get it off ggzzzzzzzz

[sour jetty]

yea you can jump cancel last hit into beta or gamma

[left pulsar]

Noted

[tacit path]

I’m kiiiinda getting it down

[jovial pike]

She really is just crash bandicoot

Same

[tacit path]

This air melee omg

[sour jetty]

looks like the air melee bunny hop kept chopper momentum

[supple garnet]

2000 tickets total.
No Kendo costume
No Ibara costume

I used the trading points to get Purple Denki because I felt like this was more valuable than costumes but not having tuning on my Kendo feels sad ngl.

On a positive note I do have all quirk skill sets now

[cunning raft]

some labbing

doesnt work at lvl 1 (lvl 4 is fine) and on flesh since gamma will knock down

[cunning raft]

i seem was able to sort of reproduce that, you seem just jump cancel on hit i cant tell since i was mashing jump and melee xd inconsistent as heck. you also keep the momentum along the way

[gusty narwhal]

I'm fascinated by my progress in learning strike kendo, getting way better with jump canceling and it just feels I can do whatever I want

God I love kendo, if only other characters was like her

[wise pier]

I need some advice on some specific aspects of strike kendo:

• recommendations for level-up paths
• suggestions for budget tuning builds (I don't own any PURs and I'm not sure the standard of Trance Blow and Embrittlement is helpful but I want to keep that for when I play assault kendo)
• I've seen people hit about 5 or 6 hits in a melee combo, is that just cancelling the melee and starting it over or is it done another way?
• anything else in particular that would be good to get the hang of

[pure forum]

They're doing a jump cancel

To do the melee again

SNIPER KENDO

I think I’ve given it enough time to ask

How tf do I play this skill set?

[left pulsar]

That's amazing! Thanks for letting us know

[left pulsar]

W aim lol

[left pulsar]

This game's gatcha is trash

I've heard it's slightly better than others because of it has guarantee gatcha but still gatcha is trash

[spark atlas]

thanks! ive been playing without aim assist for about a week now and its starting to finally feel really good

[left pulsar]

I played without aim assist for a couple seasons but I turned it back on around season 9 I think

[spark atlas]

i do like aim assist, but it makes it really hard for me to land shots at people when theyre like mid range

you need to lead your shots but aim assist wants to keep your aim right on your target

[left pulsar]

True

anyone know how i "skipped" the first melee while i was testing

https://medal.tv/games/my-hero-ultra-rumble/clips/kCl3zL3mrVNf5kdKf?invite=cr-MSx5b04sMzg4MzUwMDcx

i literallyhavent been able to recreate it

[wise pier]

Is it something you'd recommend trying in general? I've been considering it but never actually tried playing without aim assist

[spark atlas]

ive been playing wayyyyyy better with beamer characters since i did, its definitely worth a try, just be prepared to play pretty bad for the first day or two lolol

[wise pier]

I'll give it a shot then definitely couldn't hurt to try

[wise pier]

While we're here, might you be able to help me out with this? I need to go on a strike kendo training arc lmao

[spark atlas]

i can help with two of these

[wise pier]

I'll take literally anything I can

[spark atlas]

id probably do b9 or g9 first, whichever is your preferred one. her alpha should be last. its nothing crazy, just good to poke with occasionally.

for that melee combo youre discussing, after your third melee you press jump and melee at the same time and that allows you to do a whole new melee combo

you can do this to speed up her beta as well, gamma into melee into jump and beta at the same time

[wise pier]

So in the melee combo it's cancelled similarly to Mt. Lady's gamma cancels, just specifically with a jump?

[spark atlas]

essentially but you need to be pressing the input you want at the same time as far as im aware

[wise pier]

I see

I'll try it out

[spark atlas]

have you seen her beta movement tech?

[wise pier]

That trick to speed up beta also looks really fun

[wise pier]

Cancelling into rolls before the actual hit?

That's all I've seen with it

I can pull that off relatively consistently if that's what you meant

[spark atlas]

you can do that but you can also cancel it with gamma

[wise pier]

OH???

Interesting

[spark atlas]

and you can also jump out of gamma before the end animation, allowing you to do another beta into gamma dash

super sick

[wise pier]

I'll definitely be trying that out

"Thanks for your help!"

[spark atlas]

@wise pier

also i guess you can do another beta at the end, crazy distance covered

For any of our Assault Kendo gamers still throwing hands out there, Shinso's trance (gamma) can go through shields now. Nearly got caught with my pants down finding that out the hard way.

[spark atlas]

add it to the list

[tacit path]

Turn off trance blow

Put on like kota finder because low key still very likley to find a game where someone doesn’t have it, then chopper your way to him

Keep embrittlement and learn how to Batman Arkham style melee track and short hop cancel

[wise pier]

How does one short hop cancel

Or is that the thing that extends the melee combo

[tacit path]

You simply mid animation notably gamma or melee, and press jump then kendo will for a moment be neutral

[wise pier]

Oh yeah Jacklyn told me about that already

But for the costume tbh I did want to keep that one as is for assault kendo and find an ALTERNATIVE for strike

[summer wolf]

game doesn't have shorthops so thats kind of a misleading name for it

[wise pier]

I feel like trance blow is useful on Assault kendo still? Not sure

[summer wolf]

what you're talking about is the jumpsquat

[tacit path]

It’s one of the uses there are 2 other things it can do

1. Allow you to continue momentum with gamma beta sliding

2. Allow beta end, it might be needed for gamma end beta

[tacit path]

I like saying shorthop or jump cancel

[tacit path]

Assault is still really good with trance blow

[wise pier]

Yeah so I need an alternative costume so I can keep that for her 💔

[tacit path]

Hm well see if any other budget fit either has a red for trance blow

Or yellow for embrittlement then assign the alternative for that

[wise pier]

Which should I prioritise?

[tacit path]

The rest of the items in each build are not thaaat important atleast imo after the tuning nerf

[wise pier]

Either way I feel like embrit is highest priority so I might actually replace trance blow and use my resist cold/embrit for assault kendo

[spark atlas]

resist cold peak

[wise pier]

(this is all until I get a PUR bc then you'd best believe I'm using wall runner)

[wise pier]

I got the idea from you lmao

[spark atlas]

all my homies hate strike shoto

[tacit path]

Well you'll be really hurting your self with red kendo if you have trance blow. Like it'd be better
to run no fit

And yellow kendo can basically TOD with it

[wise pier]

I saved for the tech shoto data for weeks 💔

[tacit path]

Sure

[wise pier]

Thanks

[spark atlas]

i miss my 25% embrittlement

rip the 200 damage kendo alphas

[wise pier]

Assault kendo alpha my beloved

[tacit path]

Imagine if this kendo had og embrittlement

Be so wild

[wise pier]

I also started maxing alpha after seeing how you did with it lmao

[spark atlas]

im pretty sure beta would be hitting for like 400-500 easily

lmao

idk what set it up but i hit someone for 370 something yesterday

i cant recall if we were full strike or not

[spark atlas]

yes alpha max is just so so good

youre able to just stomp people that g4/9 comes very fast

[tacit path]

Seriously tho

Why kendo got that Batman Arkham melee tracking

[wise pier]

Anyone got any general advice for fighting with strike kendo? I feel like I'm relying way too much on her gamma and being punished for it
If I do use the Gamma I want to at least know HOW to use it best 💔

-# probably should've asked this BEFORE heading into unranked with her lmao

[sour jetty]

engage with gamma into melee jump cancel beta

rule of thumb in a big fight always have 1 gamma charge to get away

[wanton magnet]

How do you do you add the beta into this Combo? I can always at the gama at the end of extending her melee combo by jump canceling but the beta is tricky

[pure forum]

Jump cancel into beta

[sour jetty]

yup this

[wary orbit]

Bro how are people using beta after melee

[solemn raft]

How is this allowed 💔

[tacit path]

You can jump cancel to reset her to neutral and do any move including beta

[tacit path]

You can also do that beta cancel in the air to get more momentum for the gamma, but you have to hold it for a millisecond or it won’t register

Like this

[solemn raft]

Aw heck naw 💔
She is strike and rapid at the same time

Jesus

[wary orbit]

I seeee

[bold fulcrum]

to be fair
