primal perch
main so far

He no longer blind
obsidian marsh
He will be when liu pulls his eyes out and he becomes possessed kenshi
primal perch
He no longer blind
His default skin in mk1 has a blindfold
Im thinking that not blind look might be from before hes blinded?
maybe he gets blinded in the story
obsidian marsh
That’s what happens
Kenshi in lore was a cocky dickhead before he was blinded so we will see that side of him
charred jewel
Oh I'm actually really excited for that
blazing epoch
Main until Sareena then backup
obsidian marsh
yall see Kenshi has a puppet-like special where u control his telekinesis
obsidian marsh
looks like they combined all mkx variations into one character
- adding puppet gameplay
kenshi run goes thru projectiles
mystic osprey
obsidian marsh
thats nuts
obsidian marsh
Kenshi can back 2,2 kano knife assist, sento stance and continue combos that way
analog carbon
cole young looks like mk1 kenshi
charred jewel
Holy crap you’re right-
mighty tapir
Maybe he's the face model?

how to do bf3 brutality wat

Hey fellas what cameo should I be using with kenshi?
primal perch
Hey fellas what cameo should I be using with kenshi?
i personally use frost but im sure theres someone more synergistic with him
obsidian marsh
Cyrax, frost, Darrius, Kano, sub zero
Depends on whether u want pressure or full combos
obsidian marsh
Cyrax is beginner friendly for kenshi.
Allows u to get sento out for sento pressure without having to hit confirm with frost
mint iris
Why do ppl use frost and not sub zero?
obsidian marsh
Frost is a low and has stab stab
Can even beat other projectiles
Low freeze is full screen I think
Not sure if sub makes it easier to combo off of. Is the enemy closure and frozen longer?
All I know is u can combo from full or near full screen with frost
torn vortex
Cyrax is beginner friendly for kenshi.
I think cyrax by far gaps the other ones tbh
He also allows sento mid combo
Just dash up, 4~db1 call cyrax, j112, sento 3, db4
It's similar damage to frost/sub confirms too, with less sento bar spent
obsidian marsh
Gonna try that. I actually started picking up cyrax more after I wrote that too. Seeing more success with it too.
Seemed like cyrax is safer than all the other options.
mint iris
Do you get sento combos off f2 with cyrax?
Idk if 1 non confirmable unsafe combo makes me want to swap off frost but I might be missing smth
torn vortex
Do you get sento combos off f2 with cyrax?
Yes
Point blank with bf3. Further out with db2 ex
The combo I listed earlier does that
And again, cyrax gives sento on block
mint iris
Oh my goodness

Just started playing recently and wanted to main kenshi. Is there anything I should know beforehand or what kameos are good for him?
torn vortex
Sareena, sub zero, frost, cyrax
sly nacelle
is there a video on the optimal kenshi combo that most kenshis use
fair mantle
Kensi, His sento stance, when you start the combo. i am very good at the combo can do it flawlessly but after the freze and you do the sento 2 the first one hits but the second swing can be block all in the same 2 i was told it was server problems bc sento is tied to the servers but this is happening in local
mint iris
You need to be in the middle of an animation
Hold block, do it in the middle of a summon, etc
obsidian marsh
this is how i play kenshi can i get some constructive criticism? https://streamable.com/whufd8
torn vortex
Lol
obsidian marsh
I’m convinced the general community is buns. It sometimes works against god rank. But not against people who actually know the game in detail
Everyone else it’s pretty free playing like that
It’s not ideal gameplay and I know it’s not cashing out but wow. It’s silly how often it works
rugged sand
Can anyone explain to me why he is now all of the sudden able to autoblock the second sento hit
green pilot
timing seems like it
rugged sand
idk im going to keep trying but its just so weird cuz nothing changed in how im timing the combo compared to like 2 days ago
green pilot
are you pulling out the extended sento time instead of the regular?
orrrr
i dont play kenshi but i think thats how sento works
tidal wind
are you pulling out the extended sento time instead of the regular?
The what
I play kenshi that’s not how sento works
green pilot
interesting
doesent he have like a version of that move where if you do another input after or something sento stays out longer than if you didnt use that imput
tidal wind
Ur too close in the second clip
rugged sand
Ur too close in the second clip
even when i do it from like regular start distance its the same thing
i just did the close start so i dont have to move everytiem
rugged sand
pretty much
and i labbed the shit out of this to understand the timing for sento
so i didnt just forget this in a day
its just inconsistent rn like sometimes i can get the second hit and sometimes i cant
tidal wind
I’m checking right now
rugged sand
but i dont understand why its getting blocked inbetween sento hits
that shouldnt even be possible
green pilot
sno do you know anything about liu?
tidal wind
Kenshi’s fine
rugged sand
i mean maybe inbetween inputs i can understand but that swing up swing down is one input just the standing 2
tidal wind
sno do you know anything about liu?
A little yeah
It’s execution, the combo still works fine
tidal wind
how can i open more ppl up
#1108740171081461770
rugged sand
It’s execution, the combo still works fine
okay ill just practice the timing i suppose, thanks for reassuring me i wasnt losing my fucking mind LMAO cuz i was beginning to think it ws nerfed
rugged sand
Okay no this cant be my timing cuz this is just one input for sento
How
Sometimes he can block inbetween the first and second swing and sometimes he cant
Im so confused
rugged sand
No this new video is just raw standing 2 input nothing else
And even with the freeze i mean you saw earlier the thing still doesnt work
I cant be the only one this shit is bugged
tidal wind
I literally just did it
rugged sand
Im so confused
Its a raw S2 with freeze and without freeze
And they just get blocked on the second swing
That doesnt make any sense
okay so apperently it only connects the second hit as a combo if you are actively holding the forward input
hate it here

what are the best kameos for kenshi other than sub?
I hate playing with him
stick with the scorpion spit most of the times

Frost

Frost and sub are the ideal kameos for kenshi right? Idk about cyrax cause I got the game 1 day before he got nerfed
torn vortex

Cyrax still good
But yeah sub and frost are strong
To my mind:
Sub = frost >/= cyrax > sareena = kano >> everything else

any kenshi mains on rn??? looking for tips on timing of the 1,22, f-into frost, db 1, 2, 22,3- combo. i almost always drop the 3 for the ancestor to pop them back up into the air! if i do get it its luck. is there a trick to the timing to make it easier ?

kinda late but its bc you start the 22 string too fast after pressing sento's 2 after freeze
u gotta let sento finish both swings so that by the time it ends, you starts yours, and its cooldown is ready in time for (3)
