Stupid gatcha refused to give me strike kendo

[past cove]

I underestimate how good the tracking is with air melee on gamma. This proves me wrong and I should try using it more often if I can

[jade jetty]

How the beat the dog $*** outta someone with BIG BENDO!

[left pulsar]

That Naruto ost was the cherry on top W

[smoky cave]

Wow

I would not have taken that many hits lmao

[eternal obsidian]

Is Kendo double melee string a true combo?

Like how’d you do that?

[eternal obsidian]

Also how did that Deku roll so far after your beta?

[spark zinc]

Bro almost fumbled so hard💀

[trim marsh]

yup, need to jump cancel in between, tap jump a split second before the second first melee. 123 123 into either beta or I think typically alpha (mostly tap but I've seen hold before) if you wanna keep the beta charge are pretty nice combos

also jump cancel after the second melee string

[eternal obsidian]

Oh okay thanks

[past cove]

Waiting for new All Justice stuff getting shown on Thursday and really hope that Kendo will be shown

[smoky cave]

Id like to ask how you cancelled the gamma into beta so fast without melee

did u jump cancel for that too

[jade mist]

Yep

[smoky cave]

ooo

[summer wolf]

for those wondering, the new patch makes it so kendo can only hit 5 perfect shots at a time

lost her most damaging combo

[brazen ember]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdXJPSMu/

[spark atlas]

omg no

💔

[summer wolf]

she can only reset up to twice now assuming the opponent wasn't hit by anything previously

her strings are just shorter overall now

the only devastating thing here to me is her losing the big sneak combo and potentially having worse oki after melee > alpha since it hard knocks now

i'll find out when i actually play some matches how i feel

[past cove]

All Justice tomorrow

[past cove]

:(

It really sucks that a lot of combos are shorter now

That's my main enjoyment of this game, to be honest

I like landing all these combos

[summer wolf]

im not against the change but it will take time to get used to

this is clearly their attempt for an answer to Most TODs

most with a huge *

[past cove]

yeah

I get it but I feel like they could have done something different

and yeah I do hate getting TOD

[smoky cave]

hey but the good news is

Ochaco cant TOD

Right?

[smoky cave]

Right??!?!

[spark atlas]

does bro know

[cunning raft]

she can if teammates didnt throw

[smoky cave]

itd be a shame if it was still like that yknow

[summer wolf]

those who know

[smoky cave]

😭 oh noo

[frigid rivet]

bro i was thinking of how you did another melee chain at 0:20 but i realised you were cutting the shot xdd

[ebon knot]

Ehh, you Kendo's are good, I'll admit.

Even as annoying the Strike counterpart is, she still does require some skill.

If anything, I think after a few small nerfs like a knockdown value to either A or her melee, she'll be fine. And maybe a damage nerf on her B because the fact that you can stack ATK's on her and make her do nearly 350 damage in one hit is crazy. 😂

Strike Kendo is basically like Rapid Toga

The only way they'll be annoying or "broken" is if you're up against someone who KNOWS KNOWS how to play them.

[smoky cave]

I mean i recall some froppys thinking they can run up to a kendo and do stuff

Ive had multiple froppys fafo

Had them thinking, "Can I even run away?"

[ebon knot]

Yeah, the fact that Kendocoptier exists is just a whole lot more busted, too. 😂

But if I say anything about nerfing it, then everyone will say that I just want the character dead.

I say make it so the attack lasts a shorter bit of time if it's used in the air as compared to if it's used on the ground.

So then you guys can still have your mobility, but it's more fair.

[smoky cave]

Nah i need these flying rats (froppys and rapid togas) dead

[jade jetty]

Yea. You have to press jump but quick cancel with the melee

[summer wolf]

kendo

[random edge]

kendo

[smoky cave]

odnek

[jade jetty]

Ikr😂

[mental radish]

What should I lvl first on strike kendo?

Or what order please and thanks

[summer wolf]

i personally do B4 > G4 > B7 > G9 > B9 > A9

but it flip flops around sometimes

like if you happen to get close to A4 with random red cards you can totally get that to level 4 early on

B4 first for the damage/size increase, G4 afterwards primarily for the extra reload speed

[fervent iris]

This might be the only character who I fear their melee auto than their entire skills

[fervent iris]

also if you use trance blow it look like it’s 2 alpha shots into knockdown

[summer wolf]

i don’t like trance blow on either kendo

never have never will recommend it

[spark atlas]

literally pointless now for her too

this patch gutted trance blow for beamers

which thank god

[frigid rivet]

ill do alpha 4 gamma 9 alpha 9

[smoky cave]

Me personally gamma 4 - beta 4 - gamma 9 - beta 9

Oh and lastly alpha 9

[ember coyote]

I managed to rank up with pro with only kendo

And I didn’t really feel anything different

And it’s yellow kendo

I usually bait the opponent into attack me, and they hit the shield, and I slap them, and then slap them again, wait for the iframes, and slap again

That’s how I got this game

And I managed to win with kendo 4 times

[safe seal]

Anyone got strike kendo tips?

[summer wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/kendo-itsuka-kendo-itsuka-i-love-you-gif-13062105

Dead chat!

[summer wolf]

[spark atlas]

your mic made me so mad bro

character is soooo strong

[summer wolf]

yeaaa

[minor kindle]

he got nerfed he is balanced

[spark atlas]

so true!

[spark atlas]

this match made me realize how bad asschaco is into a good assault kendo.

you kept blocking all my betas!

ggs tho

[ember coyote]

Who wants to play ranked with me as I’m going to go full speed towards expert rank with only kendo!

Yellow kendo!

https://tenor.com/view/lock-in-locked-in-lock-tf-in-cat-cat-meme-gif-13335816645637017379

And I need to lock in!

And play sweaty !

[summer wolf]

actual good assault kendos are rare you’ll be fine

[spark atlas]

i think you and one other person way back when i first started playing are the only good kendos ive encountered

[vivid sluice]

When do I jump for the melee cancel again?

Strike kendo

[random edge]

After the third melee

[vivid sluice]

I meant like when on 3rd melee

I’m asking because I lost my muscle memory

[cunning raft]

press simultaneously. it'll work 99.9999999999999999999% of time

[vivid sluice]

But then I’ll just accidentally straight up jump

And then air melee

[cunning raft]

idk man works everytime. it doesnt work on slopes and you have to tap yump slightly before melee like this

elsewhere just press them at the same time

it will be desynced anyway due to hooman brain lag (assuming ur not a musician)

@vivid sluice

[vivid sluice]

showoff…

[cunning raft]

others can multitask like turning the camera during it or changing the direction XD

[vivid sluice]

I know she doesn’t have the tracking of strike, but does this also work on assault?

[cunning raft]

nope

[trim marsh]

I just jump the tiniest bit before I use whatever move I wanna move next, I think it's basically the same or at least a very similar timing to using jumping ground traps as tech dabi, so if you wanna try the timing with a different character just to think about it a different way and perhaps get consistent again, you could try getting it on dabi such that you jump but the game still gives you the ground version of his beta instead of an air version.

[vernal fossil]

What’s better her casual fit or her yukata

[trim marsh]

yup I noticed 😭

hope the advice was useful though

also I just figured out the song you made me think of was ashes to ashes by blind guardian

[summer wolf]

how we doing kendo gang

[summer wolf]

casual fit is better but yukata has some okay alternatives if you don't have it

[jade mist]

Depends for which kendo

[summer wolf]

that too

although both of my preferred builds are on casual wear

my assault kendo build

and my strike build

on the rare occasions i'll swap out card dupe for PU turbo or wall runner although i don't think WR is that important for red

i just like the micromovement you can do with it

didn't look too deeply into the tunings but i know @jade mist runs this outfit for red

i didn't look too deeply into the sub tunings though

also a strong option that i wanna try at some point

[summer wolf]

another damage build as well

this one hurts the most

on either kendo

[ebon knot]

Bro, that's the exact same one a friend of mine uses.

Embrittlement is so busted on Kendo.

[spark atlas]

it was insane before it got nerfed

my alphas on assault used to do 200 if i procc'd embrit

[ebon knot]

Embrittlement is still strong, just not broken.

[spark atlas]

its great on high damage characters

[ebon knot]

Any character whose melees are easy to land.

Froppy, Tamaki, Kendo, Mirio.

Who else?

Iida, Hawks, Aizawa, Kiri (Sometimes), and Mt. Lady.

[spark atlas]

assault deku is pretty easy since you can blackwhip them to you

tho i dont use embrit on him anymore

his damage doesnt get a big boost anymore

[ebon knot]

It's perfect of Froppy

One jab, and her simple combo has almost the same value as Blue Ochaco's TOD.

[spark atlas]

this not having a tech hero special slot is so unfortunate

would be busted as a fixer build

[left pulsar]

That's the same build I use on switch
-# Unfortunately I don't own any Kendo PUR on PS

[summer wolf]

i would be unstoppable of it were a hero slot

fixer high speed electrification even spiraling leap would all go crazy with wall runner 🍚

[left pulsar]

Yea I wanted to use spiraling leap

[past cove]

How good do you guys think both Kendo’s quirk sets are gonna be?

[spark atlas]

wdym?

[past cove]

Forgot to say in the new game mode

My mistake x_x

[summer wolf]

on a tier list or in general?

[past cove]

General

[summer wolf]

both are strong, red is just better in almost every aspect

yellow is a little better at denying things since she has a strong shield (that gets stronger every other patch), alongside having some of the most generous cooldown rotations in the game imo

alpha remains a 1s reload with a short penalty reload and gamma comes back extremely fast considering what it is

and she has three of them

but obviously she gets denied by people having either a height or range advantage since she can't safely approach them very fast

unlike red kendo she also struggles a little bit with crowd control and of course escapes

a lot of her moves require her to focus on one target and mow them down

kendo also has to commit a lot more than other characters since she can't go in and out of a fight at will and actually make a difference

she kinda has to get close to make a difference so if things go south right after, she might just die for it

its in those cases that having 400hp is a blessing

red kendo on the other hand has safer pressure, some of the best mobility in the game and very devastating combos that can kill you in a flash

red's defense is a little worse (no shield ofc) but the damage reduction she has is no joke

it might not be an actual shield but being able to stagger almost any physical attack is huge

her range is also double that of yellow's and is excellent for keeping people at bay while she's either running or closing the gap (which she can also do in half a second)

unlike yellow kendo where her danger zone is right in front of her, red's is double of that as well

this is yellow's threat range from minimum to max, yellow being decent damage alphas if aimed correctly, orange being a max clap distance (and stronger alphas), and red being melee range which is where she wants to be and gives her access to everything

red on the other hand

blue is an understated mark that shows the distance she can instantly travel w/ beta into gamma which can happen so fast most are never ready for

because obviously you can go much much farther horizontally with the held ground gamma

all and all red isn’t as good for maintaining chaotic indoor fights safely but she can definitely get a fast pick on a teammate and leave

she’s a very selfish character is the best way to put it

she goes where she wants kills who she wants and takes what she wants

prolly top 7 at worst but realistically she’s top 5 or so

i think thats the majority of it for me

W yap sesh

[sick canyon]

Ngl, I just got red Kendo. So, this yap just gave me the perfect idea as to how I play her when compared to yellow

[left pulsar]

I wish I had her.

[sick canyon]

I hope and pray for you

[left pulsar]

Much appreciated

[left pulsar]

Well that's an interesting way to reset melee

[spiral juniper]

We got whiffed melees in combos before gta6

[spiral juniper]

Its not a reset, the combo is true but i assume its only if the enemy doesnt have shield

[spark atlas]

starting to see why some people might hate this character

[smoky cave]

hes just flyinh

[smoky cave]

can i have the mod u have there

[jade mist]

There's like 4 of em, which one 😭

[vernal fossil]

What character even is this? This isn’t kendo?

She’s not a guy so it can’t be a baki character

I don’t see a stand for a JoJo character

[vernal fossil]

What I’m trying to say is whatever tf you did to that guy is illegal and not the nice girl we know as kendo

[jade mist]

Well d*mn nevermind 😭

2 hours in a flash

[trim marsh]

watched your new clippies recently and when I watched them I was super happy to finally see my last hit gamma 123 air melee beta combo in actual games, you da goat 🥳

Also props to you for managing air melee 123 _23 into whatever you did after. That one caught me by surprise. Had me wondering if I considered first melee skips when I was theory crafting her, and after just trying it again in training I can say that yes I considered it, and yes I instantly discarded it because of how difficult to perform it seems and I didn't even know if you could keep them stunned throughout. So I'm very impressed with that one in specific, I'm sure once you build the muscle memory for it, it can be quite consistent but in training rn I'm actually kinda overwhelmed with all the inputs and stuff needed to perform this. So that's perhaps one of the most impressive things in those clips to me.

BUT the thing that really has me questioning things is ||HOW TF DO YOU MAKE A 500DP CHARGED ALPHA HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DOWN POWER IN THE LAST CLIP????????? ACTUAL WTF||

And lastly could you explain to me why you sometimes do m1 alpha m1 + final hit. I literally have no idea why that is better than other options. To me it just looks like horrible down power to damage conversion that I think doesn't really save that much time either.

Sorry if this is a bit much

[trim marsh]

technically momo has had alpha alpha m2 m3 for a while now. Idk if others use it as a true combo, I just use it as backup for if my alpha alpha m1 air melee fails, it has slightly better damage though, just seems like a pain to have as plan A, great plan B for me personally though

[jade mist]

For M1 Alpha M1, it's simply just a quick option that break a shield quickly so yeah it's weak, but it sets up for another combo

[sour jetty]

@jade mist let me know when you want to run v1s

[jade mist]

In customs rn

So it'll probably be a while

[trim marsh]

alright awesome thank you I guess that actually makes a lot of sense.
Could you address the point before that too or no?

[sour jetty]

@jade mist v1s now?

[jade mist]

Yes join

No f-ing wonder 😭

[jade mist]

I'd almost wanna watch

sounds like an epic battle is about to commence have fun you two

[jade mist]

Pffff

[trim marsh]

well the matchup might be favored toward one character a bit from what my understanding of the matchup is but I've seen both your guys' clips and they're probably some of the best of their respective character, so even IF it ends up a little one sided it would prolly still be cool

[sour jetty]

@smoky cave its the range diff really

her alpha is twice the range of aizawas alpha lol

both range and speed of activation her alpha trades with aizawas but takes priority cause of the stagger and lingering hitbox

[smoky cave]

wrong member

😂

[sour jetty]

yup

all you mofos have the same name

[smoky cave]

yess

and im their others-proclaimed leader

peer proclaimed

[random edge]

[summer wolf]

where were yall fighting

bridge?

[quiet shale]

Ik I'm a little late on this but in case you haven't figured it out 100%, if you watch her melee animations you will see what seems to be pockets of focused air pressure from her palms right when they are supposed to make contact. You can cancel as soon as you see that blast of air pressure from her palms.

So as you get further into the melee string the timing changes slightly. I believe the first 2 animations are the same timing but the third is slightly more delayed.

[umbral kayak]

How does one acquire such mod(also my goat strike kendo mentioned )

Also chat is assault kendo still good in ts meta(im coping with the fact i dont own strike kendo on any of my pc accs but got her twice on my ps acc 💔 )

trust tech mirio banner will be the banner i get strike kendo

[trim marsh]

how do you guys do a charged alpha as if it had no downpower????

has me so confused

[past cove]

You can have 2 Kendo mains in the same team

Although not sure if you can have the same quirk set since I was using Strike and the other guy was Assualt

[past cove]

You can

[summer wolf]

you can they just have to be on the other half of your team

[summer wolf]

ultimate hidden knower’s technique

ill try to summarize it rq

tldr game has the point system for attacks that add up to 500 (down power) that forces an invincible hard knock no matter what

however for some reason if the defender rolls and gets hit during the recovery, the attacker can land a second hit during the knockdown

so you can think of the extra hit as going to 501

so i just call it a 501

but with kendo you can do charged alpha into tap alpha, or beta

briny managed to get a gamma before because for some reason his charge alpha staggered against someone forever ago

but yeah

secret tech but only some characters can really influence it

its the reason why red baku can sometimes land gamma > alpha

or tamaki beta > alpha

[minor kindle]

it's lowkey bug abusing

[smoky cave]

Not a bug

[trim marsh]

oooooooooh thanks so so so much

also dodge roll isn't even safe anymore

[summer wolf]

skill diff

[summer wolf]

in a situation like the charged kendo alpha the answer is to just mash a projectile if you can

since she’d be waiting for you to roll (a defensive option)

so you take her by surprise with offense if you can

1v1ing a good rendo is just screwed up in general

character is evil

unless you’re shinso/tamaki/aizawa

[trim marsh]

yeah I can agree with that

also ig dodge rolling on reaction is still safe at least

[summer wolf]

yea you just can’t panic roll vs her

not in that specific situation at least

[ebon knot]

Kendo mains

Along with getting Tech Mirio, I also got Strike Kendo when rolling for him.

What type of playstyle do I go for with S Kendo and how do I use her?

[trim marsh]

I've been starting to to try counter meleeing when getting melee combod recently instead of just spamming dodge, idk if it would ever hit you before you can get the charged alpha off but ig it's better than spam rolling at least

[vagrant stone]

how does one beta into alpha? I always mess this up (I never play kendo but I mess up when I do)

[summer wolf]

beta into alpha?

which kendo?

The Segregationst Movement starring Strike Kendo

[spark atlas]

KENDO

[ebon knot]

I have Strike Kendo, but I never used her yet

How do I use her? As I said, she is annoying, but she does require some skill.

[smoky cave]

she does require skill

u can easily beat a red kendo hat is just using her for the sake of her beta and holding gamma all match making theirselves predictable

while red kendos like rotty moving like they are flash stepping\

[ebon knot]

That's what I meant to say. The only way she's going to be annoying is if you know how to use her.

Which basically means take skill.

Like yes, I can spam Y, but it'll only take me so far.

[smoky cave]

right

[ebon knot]

I just realized I said "doesn't require skill"

I hate my big a** thumbs.

[left pulsar]

Strike Kendo is amazing I just hate how op she is

I still wish I had her tho

Might just save up 2k tickets to get her specifically since Momo's QSS isn't coming anytime soon

[random edge]

I might do that but for Kuro

[ember storm]

I’m gonna start to learn and have fun with a second shield character now

[spark atlas]

oh ho ho

learning kendo now

[left pulsar]

I see

[left pulsar]

Yes, abandon compress temporarily

[summer wolf]

good luck

she’s not difficult to get the hang of

[ember storm]

what can I parry and not parry?

Im also sadly running a budget build because of my lack of a skin

[summer wolf]

parry as in canceling the shield into roll?

[ember storm]

like things I can block and then attack

[summer wolf]

or just guarding them

[ember storm]

mb

Im so used to compress

[summer wolf]

she can guard most things

there are just specifics that you shouldn’t

[ember storm]

like what?

[summer wolf]

ibara’s alpha is a prime example

[ember storm]

and can I block rapid toga beta?

[summer wolf]

you can

[ember storm]

Oh she must have hit me in my start up frames

[summer wolf]

shiggy special action also one-shots your shield

can’t block ochaco’s float, trying to guard red todo’s beta is risky and inconsistent if you’re too close

[ember storm]

k

[trim marsh]

what about abilities that deal lots of damage over time, stuff like tamaki cannon? if I remember correctly the damage those attacks do to her shield has been reduced in a recent patch so are those just safe to block now?

[spark atlas]

i tried that recently in the new mode and i tanked tamakis gamma pretty easily. the change is nice.

[trim marsh]

oki awesome

thx for confirming ^^

[ember storm]

so compress to kendo will be a nice crossover

[summer wolf]

nejire beta is a very easy block now

before she’d shred it

[spark atlas]

wonderful

[summer wolf]

same for endy and tamaki

[trim marsh]

that's cool ngl

[summer wolf]

although kendo cannot outlast level 9 tamaki gamma

[spark atlas]

yes youll just have to get used to being much more close range now.

[summer wolf]

so its still best to get out of the way while guarding

[spark atlas]

im thinking about picking up kendo again next season. i miss shredding people with her alpha

her down power change makes it kinda awkward for some combos now

[summer wolf]

i’ve stopped doing melee > alpha

[spark atlas]

i cant do air melee ground melee alpha gamma anymore which was my favorite to do

[summer wolf]

air melee > alpha on GP is better if you can hit confirm

[spark atlas]

word

[summer wolf]

if you take away the ground melee that combo works fine

[spark atlas]

yeah thats what i found.

one thing im glad about this change tho is it killed trance blow on kendo

no more toding off of a single melee

[trim marsh]

can you melee alpha melee alpha gamma in theory?

[spark atlas]

i think you can

how much down power do melees do even actually, i dont know those

[ember storm]

I think 100?

jump is 250

[trim marsh]

yeah lol xD
have that build benched, though it's probably still good, you just throw rocks again on their wake up I'd think but it definitely got nerfed hard

[trim marsh]

100 per

250 if air melee

that's the standard on most chars and I'm pretty sure yellow kendo has the same values

we don't talk about red kendo's melee down powers lmao

[spark atlas]

makes sense, thats what i figured it was but didnt wanna give out incorrect info

[trim marsh]

yeah some have wildly different ones though, like shinso's m1 being 125 and air melee just being 100

which actually matters super hard

tamaki has 200 on his air melee to make grab air melee + follow up a combo you can go for

[spark atlas]

@summer wolf can you do full melee string into gamma if your target is guard broken and falling off a ledge? i know its typically not possible but was wondering if them not having ground right below them could make it happen.

[summer wolf]

its hypothetically possible but the odds of it happening are little to never

since you not only have to be in the perfect spot to ledge cancel her M4 but also have enough time in a fight to even get the full melee off

[spark atlas]

ah

makes sense

[pallid yew]

mhm

[vagrant stone]

strioke

[summer wolf]

she can’t do beta > alpha without a 501 but there isn’t really much opportunity to realistically hit that

unless you mean c. alpha > beta

[summer wolf]

recap here @vagrant stone

[vagrant stone]

I meant for mobility. Her beta cancel into kendocopter

mb

forgot its her gamma

[summer wolf]

just hold beta for at least 2 frames or so

game just needs to recognize you holding it and not tapping

which gives you access to cancelling with gamma

so if you ever wanna do the extended bslide just hold beta for a microsecond

that’s prolly why you were dropping it

[vagrant stone]

ohhhhhh

Thank you goat

[somber nymph]

I'm gonna be able to pity for Strike Kendo soon

can't wait, been meaning to play her after finally getting a PUR

[spark atlas]

yoooo nice

i think im gonna do a season of only strike kendo until tokoyami comes out when the next season drops.

[somber nymph]

it does feel nice to only use 1 character sometimes, good practise with 'em

[past cove]

YES YES YES

[spark atlas]

i loveeeeeee this combo so much

its so satisfying

If only I had strike kendo 😭

Alright that's it, I'm gonna save up for strike kendo

i don't really know how to feel about this combo

landing it is satisfying

but it might be too safe for a big reward

i was saying that this combo might be OP

and idk if I like it

[summer wolf]

what if i told you there was an even stronger version of it

[bold fulcrum]

if it's not easy to pull off, why not

[summer wolf]

its p easy

people just don't know about it

[summer wolf]

packgod double strike buff kendo returns

having consistent access to alpha glides > air melee is nice

the briny melee is really fun to land

[spark atlas]

sick

also rotty

for charged alpha into alpha on strike kendo, is that only possible if you just do charged alpha beforehand or can you do a combo ending with charged alpha and it still works?

[summer wolf]

as long as you caught the roll they will still be able to be hit again

usually

but majority of the time i do it at the end of any string of attacks to get that extra hit in

[spark atlas]

okok

thank you

[summer wolf]

for example

[spark atlas]

strike kendo is so fun with how much stuff you can do on her. now that i understand her kit more im having way better of a time.

[spark atlas]

i havent been able to land this one yet

also does anyone else have it that her uncharged alpha sometimes knocks down on hp after one hit? ive been encountering this a lot lately

[summer wolf]

assault

i just booted up to do one game

[somber nymph]

I got Strike Kendo from pity and my goodness it feels absurd 😅

[spark zinc]

Pity

Good job

[summer wolf]

i had to pity her as well dw

[left pulsar]

I'm about to save up 2k tickets and do the same

best of luck to any kendos in the tourney 🫡

see you guys out there

well uh

i showed a disapppointing sight

[summer wolf]

the instant i ended my stream

[left pulsar]

Cook

[summer wolf]

the roundabout i did on the momo was kinda hot

[summer wolf]

to follow up on this

we missed a direct qualification to finals by literally 1 point

our lobbies ended up really passive and i made the poor decision to forsake yellow kendo and play the red one

who kinda forces me to play in the center of all the chaos which only led to us getting ratted out

had i picked yellow from the beginning (or at least just game 2 on) we easily could have qualified

so i'm a little disappointed in myself for that

[normal blaze]

How the what does Assault Kendo's gamma aim itself 😭. Is it wherever the model is facing or your cursor because there's been so many times where me and my opponent are in the air and I try to gamma them but she gammas towards not where I'm aiming and it either gets me killed or punished heavily

[full bone]

How do u have this skin..😭 i want it too

[summer wolf]

m0ds on pc

[summer wolf]

wherever you’re look + the tracking

you wanna be sure to look towards wherever you wanna clap

[normal blaze]

Okay so I’ll Aim Mode to correct her to face the person I wanna clap thankies

I will keep that in mind I was losing mine whenever Kendo would clap not at where I’m aiming so you’ve spared me many future annoyances

[normal blaze]

Wall Runner looks so fun on Kendo with her air melee

I also need to melee more on Kendo in general I always default to clap if someone is close

[full bone]

What mod are u using

[left pulsar]

Sorry to hear that. You still cooked plus you did your best and that's what counts.

For the kendo enjoyers, made by me

[full bone]

Is spiraling leap good for kendo

[summer wolf]

this is awesome

[summer wolf]

meh

i don’t think it plays to her strengths

other than giving her extended alpha glides without slopes

if it could be paired with wall runner it’d prolly be better but that isn’t possible since kendo is condemned to purple villain slots on all of her other outfits

[quiet shale]

@summer wolf @full bone Honestly yeah space hop is a better option for both kendos, and for Assault Kendo spiraling leap really isn't bad for her alpha gliding but needs something more to make it a decent build. I got spiraling leap with double dash speed under a maxed fixer and its actually kinda wack with her alpha gliding mechanics, which is especially good for her close range combat speed. But thats really all it's got, it does makes certain melees combos slightly annoying to get off perfectly but that can be overcome with faster timings. For me it's more a fun build to mess around with, not something to play to well into all her strengths like Rotty said. If you are interested Lomz here is the build tho.

Thanks for info..

[sonic dock]

did they patch red kendo beta dash?

[past cove]

:)

[summer wolf]

no

[summer wolf]

new kendo fit

hopes and prayers for a good blue yellow

[normal blaze]

Same need Wall Runner with Embrittlement

[bold fulcrum]

i was ready to wait for another year

that was pretty quick

now we just gotta pray for a great patch note

[ember storm]

I think it’s a very high chance kendo skin is bp or ranked rewards

[left pulsar]

Good because I don't own a single PUR for Kendo on PS and I desperately need one

Been itching to try space hop kendo

[chilly wharf]

@jade mist do you have a guide for those melee combos perchance

[jade mist]

I do

https://youtu.be/DWPSc00QqB8?si=qeuY9KOqtGJHuu5x

@chilly wharf

[normal blaze]

If they ever revert Mt. Lady's alpha change I am so rewatching your Mt. Lady combo video so I can brush up on the core concepts

[chilly wharf]

WAHOO

"Another video" NOOO

For those other combos, is it as simple as turning the camera when you jump cancel?

[jade mist]

Hard to explain tbh

[chilly wharf]

Then I'll wait for the next video, I'm doing fine without them ↕️

[bold fulcrum]

so

Special Action nerf : why

Strike Kendo's Beta : FINALLY

beta dash was sick but so powerful

forgot this part about Strike Kendo

oopsies

i dont get it at all

[jovial jolt]

I think basically after one ariel melee you fall almost immediately when using the second melee

[cunning raft]

cant get into the game nice update

[bold fulcrum]

why did we have Kendo going Gear 2nd 😭

i don't understand that emote but it's so funny

[summer wolf]

kendo nation

[ember storm]

Only takes to the end of the season 💔

[summer wolf]

i can live with that

[cunning raft]

you still can save beta charge with gamma cancel right?

[summer wolf]

yeah

but you would still have to spend something

i think its a fair change

she'll still be strong, just worse mobility which was one of her strongest traits

[cunning raft]

if they taken that away completely it would be a humongous nerf for me personally xd

ability to on and off beta is so good

[summer wolf]

pretty sure it was an unintentional feature from the beginning

gonna have to deal with it i'm afraid

[spark atlas]

how does the gamma air melee cancel feel now?

[summer wolf]

imagine doing jump gamma into air melee

and then not doing any more air melees after the first

thats how it feels

i can record it once they end the dumb maintenance

[summer wolf]

i thought i was crazy but i was not

kendo's alpha glide seems to mess with the camera a bit

[jovial jolt]

It's not just her

It's the camera itself

They changed it and how it moves to everyone

I've been experiencing it with nejire

[vale lark]

hey guys what’s strike kendo’s best tunning?

[summer wolf]

probably embrittlement

[vale lark]

okay thank you

[coarse cloud]

Need her banner to drop again 🙏

[normal blaze]

Her Strike banner is dropping when All For One does I think

[summer wolf]

its 2 weeks after prime afo

[normal blaze]

If I don’t get Strike Kendo from Hot Picks I’m rolling on her banner for her and the Adventurer outfit

[smoky cave]

hey kendos!!

Accel on Kendo is lit

u should try it

@summer wolf ik youll like it

it looks cool and its satisfying

gear shift kendo

[indigo dirge]

whatre strike kendo's combo chains? just got her from the hot picks banner

[lyric rampart]

Hello kendo mains, I have a question, what tuning should I do to the kendo tank with the yukata skin?

[grizzled lion]

could someone find me a build for yukata or casual wear pls

[odd gust]

Was strike kendo nerf bad?

[smoky cave]

no not at alll\

[left pulsar]

She doesn't have that absurd mobility with her beta anymore otherwise she still cooks. In fact I'd argue this is how she was supposed to be.
-# I'm still gonna miss that beta dodge roll tho and I didn't get to unlock the qss before it got patched 😭

[summer wolf]

i wouldn't call it bad

i think its actually one of the more reasonable nerfs they've given to a top tier

[umbral kayak]

So umm bad news

I’m pretty sure it’s actually the last banner of the season!

💔

[smoky cave]

I make it up with Acceleration Tunin

[left pulsar]

Ah

[deft hedge]

Any one have a good strike kendo build?

[stiff musk]

Kendo got nerf😔

[smoky cave]

Acceleration + Revenge Strike
Wallrunner + Willpower
Wallrunner + Crit Perm
Embrittlement + Acceleration
Kendo can run alot of things even with the low budget skins
Embrittlement goes a long way

All you really need is embrittlement

But Space Hop, Spiralling Leap

also viable

[normal blaze]

Would Wall Runner or Acceleration be better for Assault Kendo because I want her to have some movement but I want a build that's good for both Kendos

[left pulsar]

I got Kendo's yukata unexpectedly so I use Space Hop heh heh 😅

Least I finally own a PUR for Kendo on PS now cuz my wall runner build is stuck on switch

Now all I need is Strike Kendo but I don't think I'll be getting her
-# I don't have enough tickets

[normal blaze]

I'm waiting for Strike Kendos banner to rerun to get her Adventurer outfit if I don't get Strike Kendo from Hot Picks because I NEED a PUR for her

[left pulsar]

I want her adventure outfit so I can use run wall runner + embrittlement (something I've ALWAYS wanted on Momo) but alas, I have no tickets to spar let alone pity

[smoky cave]

holy that sounds like a fever dream

idk if there are any double blues

but if there is

by all mens

means

[normal blaze]

Oh for context I was gonna use Adventurer (Fancy) for Embrittlement and a blue

Double blues does sound awesome though

[deft hedge]

Tyyy

[summer wolf]

got a lot to catch up on here

[summer wolf]

the fancy is my main build for red kendo (lately i've been altering it for yellow kendo too) but dangerous has the highest damage potential of all her outfits

there's also this for red that gives the best of both worlds (a melee tuning + a benefit for getting kills) but we have a better version of this outfit coming out in november that might be more worth it

although that one i'm pretty sure is a hero slot so you couldn't run card dupe

this one is also lowkey solid, thought about building it for red before the tournament but i decided not to

but this one gives you the best surivability on red, esp if you put on willpower

[summer wolf]

wall runner wall runner wall runner

once the new kendo outfit comes out and acceleration isn't nerfed i will probably be on acceleration way more than i am now

because it is really fun and strong

but wall runner is so generationally good if you know how to use it

and kendo will also finally have an infinite wall runner outfit in november so

#winning

[summer wolf]

sadly no but if she did i would lowkey run wallrunner/acceleration and never turn back

[normal blaze]

Are you talking about the jump techs because I know how to do those and she do be getting crazy distance with them

[smoky cave]

yeah i searched did u check the new skin shes getting?

any double blues?

[normal blaze]

No double blues on the new one either

[summer wolf]

that's part of it but there's more to it

[smoky cave]

If only 😭

BRUH there are no blues AT ALL

in the new one

wtf

[normal blaze]

What would that be then? I wanna make sure I know as much as I can with her so I can hit some nasty Kendo combos in the future and have good movement so I can land the combos in the first place

[normal blaze]

There is in the Fancy version of the new one

[smoky cave]

oh thats hard to see

atp u can pop accel and ability manifest and just hold blue cards

to get the experience

wallrunner/accel experience

[trim marsh]

I'm considering acceleration + revenge rapid on nejire, I don't play her like ever but I feel like that would actually help her a ton

[smoky cave]

Nejire has one ik that

[trim marsh]

yup yukata heat the red one

I just never play her so idk if it's worth building it

[smoky cave]

Dont go revenge rapid

better off just having the wallrunner

on speed dial

[trim marsh]

I think I'd try revenge rapid on her first. Having the speed up is sooooo nice on her

wanna feel what 4x speed neji feels like

but I do agree that generally I'm a wallrun enthusiast

[summer wolf]

you'd probably learn from just watching my gameplay but things like this are also good to know #1233265109745405952 message
#1233265109745405952 message

[normal blaze]

Holy wow she goes zooming

This would be super nice if I could run up walls true being able to defend myself while jumping away sounds super nice

[tidal nest]

it got buffed

[tidal nest]

i use Crushing PU HP Sucker so i can stay in fights longer

[tidal nest]

Nerf her mobility yet buff multiple better characters mobility in the same way

[viral rune]

Hello @summer wolf, how are you doing
hope you are doing well
i wanna learn assault kendo and you are the best assault kendo i know
i sadly dont have any purs for her so am running a budget build using her default (trance blow and embrittlement), i was also thinking maybe i could run acceleration and compression magic but i dont know if its worth it.
are there any video/ matchup guides on youtube because i couldnt find any 😭

https://tenor.com/view/itsuka-kendo-boku-no-hero-academia-gif-13062117

Third party king~

https://tenor.com/view/shy-anime-girl-gif-4542651321888051184

[summer wolf]

yeahhhh but im fine with it in this case

she still has all of her offensive capabilities plus SOME mobility so im chillin

took a few matches to get used to it though

[summer wolf]

rule #1 we do not run trance blow

i hate that tuning with a passion

[viral rune]

so i should run acceleration instead

[summer wolf]

for a budget i suppose you could

do you have her mask off outfit? it’s a 2 star

and in terms of other video guides, metsu remastered his a little while ago that acts as an introduction to the character

the more advanced things/mindset concepts are things i’d be teaching people myself because i haven’t made an actual guide

but i’m always down to hop in training mode with people and give them a rundown

[smoky cave]

Do not run accel if its not lvl 11

AT 10 atthe very least is okay

but it is not going to show up when you need it the most

[summer wolf]

^

it just hit me we were talking about acceleration

the cooldown on it is really meh for budget builds, only really usable at lvl 10/11

if you're looking for a melee tuning you're better off running embrittlement

[smoky cave]

^ very much so it will always be by your side

[deft lava]

Yes WE do

[viral rune]

thank you

[viral rune]

On Kendo's soul WE ALL RUN Wallrunner/Trance Blow

[tidal nest]

yea i think these are fair nerfs and ones i would have wanted on her. Its just a weird balance choice to then buff characters mobilty likr strike kiri in the same patch

[summer wolf]

good point

but oh well

[tidal nest]

surely they nerf strike kiri next patch

wish kendo had a double blue tuning outfit

[viral rune]

sadly nope 🥀

the only 2 star i got is her summer uniform

[woven sapphire]

Talk to the hand

[summer wolf]

i don't usually post these types of clips on people because i do it all the time but this one felt clean

melee hit late which actually made the link into clap a true combo lol

air melee being 150DP is just really nice

been wanting that change for a minute

cuz it lets you get away with that

another one

ANOTHER another one

being able to alpha glide into somebody and have time for air melee is so awesome

which is why im looking forward to acceleration in the future

could do it now but i lowkey hate that 40 second cooldown

buncha red kendo stuff from a day or two ago

[smoky cave]

My god...

I wish I could do all this T-T

[smoky cave]

Honestly rotty inspiration

to play her again

[jolly umbra]

am I gpong vrazy 💔 it feels like I can’t glide as long with my air melee

[smoky cave]

acceleration has been making kendo

so fun to play

[summer wolf]

do it

[summer wolf]

nope, that was part of red kendo’s mobility nerf

she can only hop once with her air melee before touching the ground

every following air melee will fall with gravity

so now its just like she takes really far jumps around the map

[left pulsar]

I tried and got emoted by a rapideku

I was inspired by Rotty too especially after finally getting my first PUR skin for Kendo on PS (Yukata) but that rapideku aggravated me immensely and I just gave up. I'll probably try Kendo again sometime (why does rapideku get to melee through my shield?!)

[jolly umbra]

Red Kendos movement tech got nerfed but not Red Kiris??

[smoky cave]

[summer wolf]

red kiri's got buffed lol

-# I might once I reach expert and encounter Ace 3 stack sweats since I'm a solo q sam nowadays

[left pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-marvel-small-price-pay-for-salvation-gif-14748250

Strikendo's close combat is too strong to fight against so it's a worthy sacrifice

At least y'all still get to keep majority of her combos

Just without the excessive mobility

-# Sad I didn't unlock her qss before then to abuse it

i just bait out a beta from them with my gamma then i jump cancel it into my own beta

i like the kendo mirror

havent done a 1v1 with the nerfs tho

[summer wolf]

it won't be too different

[tidal nest]

Yeah i just relied alot on doing fake outs with beta

[summer wolf]

so when i drop a ping and you confirm it, we start fighting

is usually how i go about it

[tidal nest]

i dont practice the whiff melee combo

😭

[summer wolf]

its very worth it

[tidal nest]

im whiffing so many alphas :(

[summer wolf]

oh lmao

i just realized the level gap we had

ive been at 444 this entire time whoops

[tidal nest]

Oh 🫩

lmao

[summer wolf]

NOW WE ARE EVEN

we can do 9 its all good

[tidal nest]

oh boy

[summer wolf]

i'll do a few more and then imma eat im starving

[tidal nest]

Ight bet

im getting whooped

[summer wolf]

i think you're doing good

lets do a quick ft5 and then call it

[tidal nest]

Ight sounds good

[summer wolf]

i respect the 501 attempt

you tried it a little too preemptively though

wait until you actually see the roll and it hits easy

[tidal nest]

Yeah im still rusty on it

ggs

[summer wolf]

wait what was the score

i had 4-3 down

[tidal nest]

I thought it was 5-2

lol

[summer wolf]

5-2 you?

[tidal nest]

nab you

[summer wolf]

unless i miscounted you're still in

cmon

now its ggs lol

[tidal nest]

Ahhh ggs

that was fun

I dont got for much of the advanced stuff like the whiff melee

its hard on roller

[summer wolf]

that was a good time

your kendo is nice

[summer wolf]

if briny can do it so can you

lock in

[tidal nest]

thanks. Never fought a good yendo

[summer wolf]

0.002% of the playerbase

[tidal nest]

Ill be sure to not approach one like i was doing

[summer wolf]

i mean yeah

these 1v1s aren't really true, like, practical fights

[tidal nest]

it’d be lame to just alpha spam in the 1v1

[summer wolf]

because in reality i would never be able to approach you yeah

like if you wanted to get away at any point you could

and heals/chasing or whatever isn't a factor here

[tidal nest]

That was very fun

[summer wolf]

we're just butting heads like goats

IT WAS AWESOME

[tidal nest]

especially the strikendo mirror

i was laughing the whole time

[summer wolf]

i like that she still has her own form of alpha gliding

[tidal nest]

Yeah after the gamma and after air charged alpha

its fun

cya enjoy your food 🫡

Thanks for the games

What happened to all the Kendo's? I haven't seen many of us since strike got her tickle monster of a nerf

[normal blaze]

Been playing Frog more but plan to play her more soon

[sick canyon]

I've been wanting to get back into Frog. Haven't played her much since season 5. Is it worth it?

[normal blaze]

Very much so

Especially with the momentum change

[sick canyon]

I played her a few times this season. I thought I was js getting lucky. I'll get back to it

[bold fulcrum]

can't talk for everyone but I stopped playing her because I need to adapt to those nerfs

maybe i'll return to her later

i've played both kendos through the thick and thin

no plans on stopping that

we're just a very small minority

[normal blaze]

Missing out then she's fun

[high smelt]

The aerial melee was luck

[sick canyon]

Nah, getting crossed up in a br is WILD

[normal blaze]

Question for le Assault Kendos

How feasible is it to 180 turn your camera when One For All Deku starts flying behind you with lock on gamma? It's probably a skill issue but I thought I'd ask anyway

[high smelt]

Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't... I will go train it tomorrow 🐦

[normal blaze]

I am now a Strike Kendo haver

Time to sit in training for 5 years learning combos

[summer wolf]

congrats

[normal blaze]

Though this does mean I will not be rolling on Strike Kendo's banner for Adventurer le sigh I was only gonna do that if I didn't get Strike Kendo from Hot Picks

[summer wolf]

are you saving for something? adventurer’s tunings are pretty good

[normal blaze]

I guess I could see if next season's character is someone I want first before deciding that yeah

If they aren't cool I don't mind using a bit to get Adventurer

I need that blue and yellow tuning so bad for both Kendos...

[summer wolf]

its gonna be an amazing tuning build

both that and the red blue

[normal blaze]

Yeah that’s also gonna be super nice

[high smelt]

There’s no timing, as soon as he starts the attack, just turn around🙏

[normal blaze]

Yeah but I’m stupid and beta and lock on gamma have the same animation so it’s hard for me 😭

I guess I should be blocking anyway unless it’s Quintuple then I try to see where’s gonna land and block the shockwaves

[high smelt]

Try to focus on the voice line

[normal blaze]

That's what I try to do

[high smelt]

Playing Itsuka Assault in the current meta is really a brutal challenge💀

[normal blaze]

And one I will take because I kinda just play whoever I'm feeling

[high smelt]

🤝

[quiet shale]

You can also parry it with a well timed melee, or roll right when he takes off. I'm trying to get nearly perfect with parrying it with melee so I can go straight into combos if he doesn't get a slight hit or we parry each other and I clap him hehe. I already do the same with Tsu but melee straight into beta.

[left pulsar]

Don't sweat it 😭

It's awesome

[soft osprey]

Guys I think i have a kendo clip

I'm still a breadstick tryna get better

[wary orbit]

Hopefully her adventure outfit has a double blue

[smoky cave]

it doesnt

[wary orbit]

She's not out rn is she

[smoky cave]

no

but we know she doesnt have a double blue

[wary orbit]

I wouldn't trust leakers tbh

Same ones that said Jirou and stain were coming this season

[smoky cave]

i doubt we are getting a double blue even if the leaks are wrong

anyway

[tidal nest]

tuning slots are basically never wrong

[wary orbit]

We'll just have to wait and see

[wary orbit]

Never say never

[summer wolf]

those who know

[left pulsar]

Lol

[deft hedge]

What’s a good sensitivity for strike kendo?

[summer wolf]

kbm or controller?

[deft hedge]

controller

[summer wolf]

i don’t play controller but i don’t think sens matters all that much for red kendo

just play what’s comfortable

bonus points if you can comfortably 180 when needed

[soft osprey]

I'm using trance blow on kendo

[summer wolf]

sorry to hear that

[soft osprey]

Huh

[normal blaze]

Trance Blow kills Strike Kendo’s combo game

[soft osprey]

I don't have strike kendo

[normal blaze]

Oh my bad I thought you were the person asking about sensitivity sorry I’m tired 😭

She has better options than Trance Blow as well

Embrittlement and maybe Acceleration would be better I haven’t gotten to test Acceleration for melee tunings and you really want Wall Runner on Assault Kendo in my opinion

[soft osprey]

I see

[summer wolf]

sucks on both i hate it

[normal blaze]

I don't like the idea that I can get cucked out of a combo because of the extra down power

[vernal fossil]

A toga just stole my blood

How f’ed is the lobby on a scale from 1 to 10?
