Thats very similar to how i play him. And those strings arent under used by me. Lol. I use them constantly. My Kang is...weird looking. Although i tend to get cookie cutter when im in trouble. Its a big flaw of mine.This is Liu's worst MU, it's f8cked up lol.
What I like to do is alternate between high and low, though once your opponent catches on it becomes pretty useless. If you watched XBlades vs Pig @EVO, he would delay his jump by doing airfireballs, which works somewhat well, but jumping is pretty risky in the first place.
Once you do get in (if) , I'd personally try get him to break first, as stated above, Kenshi is very meter dependent. Abuse the sh8t out of 2, even when his duck blocking it hits. Using b31 works pretty good to, it's onlt -1, and can confuse your opponent when they don't see the whole string,(I've also had people block high after b31, probably due to tendencies) Try using under used strings as well, such as f4, b2b3, f24 etc. You can cancel into EX Lowfireball after all these strings.
He really does need to rely on chip and unpredictable pressure. He just doesn't have the frame traps like JC.
But yes, couldnt agree more. I think they key in this matchup is to make the kenshi player really concerned over whether he can use his armor or not. Its certainly a rough matchup, probably his worst, but i dont play any other characters who have it any better with kenshi, so picking it apart frame by frame with liu is what its going to be.
