Hey guys I am gonna pick kenshi as a top priority sub and wanted a little input. Can anyone tell me the strength and weakness of his variations, nothing in depth just a general jist. I currently have possessed Kenshi at the top of my list.

Is it weird that possessed is the variation I am the least interested in? I'm liking balanced the most so far and I am interested in learning kenjitsu, but possessed for some reason doesn't interest me, I think it is because his sword is broken and that doesn't sit very well with me :/

50/50 is the best town to live in !
When hitting the d1
Focus on Kenshi and when he recovers from the uppercut
Thanks, I am pulling d1 after DB1 more consistently now.

Did you guys notice that 2,2 string can catch people out of the juggle.It has 0 on hit, but leave them standing though...

And also found stupid, swag 2 bar combo : b1xx EX DF1, b1xx EX DF1 35 %
Just looks good, flipping with a blade whole day long ))

Sup guys. A little off topic with combos, but I was playing in a KOTH online on XBone and reflected Kitana's projectile and got a brutality off of it. I haven't been able to see any of her Brutalities to see if it's a similar glitch to MK9, but I thought it was pretty cool nonetheless. Going to try it against Kung Jin next.

Oh pretty please tell me the Reflect has ridiculous confusion capabilities again...

Nice find
 
i can also confirm prepatch values were

move / possessed / balanced
rk / -8 / -11
tf / -32 / -23
barge / -10 / -14

nothing changed for possessed

Kenjutsu is a rush down mix/up vortex character that does space control rather than zone. Balanced is pretty much full zoning with easy combos but beware getting pressured. Possessed has zoning and mix up opportunities, sorta like a in-between of the two but he also gets the highest combo dmg output getting pressured with this variant is also a really big fall back. .

Does anyone have any meterless BnBs for kenjitsu since you won't always have meter to setup the vortex.
I think this is really the best option.

(b1, or other starter) db1 d1 (bf2, or other ender) it's a really meter heavy variant

It is a wonderful day to be a Kenshi main :D. Awesome fucking work, Mirjitsu. Keep us posted on whoever else you can make this work with?

@Pig Of The Hut , we need beers and Whoppers, because it is time to celebrate <3.

Just tested against Cassie Cage and it worked. You don't need to fulfill any of the weird brutality requirements either. I deflected a Single Shot from fullscreen at 100% health and she dead. I've been recording these on XBOX but don't know how to upload. :(

TYVM exactly the info I was looking for!!

What does that mean exactly?
Similar to the MK9 reflect glitch where he could reflect projectile X-Rays before they patched it, Kenshi can copy a character's brutality if it's a projectile and if the reflected move would kill them. The only restriction I've found is it has to be about jump distance and it is variation specific (Mournful Kitana will get killed with Jade's boomerangmajig), but doesn't have to follow the "hold this direction" rule. It's just for style.
