On dominion matches this buff does makes a difference, Its easier to survive ganks... But kensei is still probably lowest tier character. He is really good when fighting like medium skilled players who know how the game works, but dont know all kensei posibbilities and cant cancel their parry bait. When playing higher level peeps you have small chances of winning cuz if you want to survive in 1v1, you must kill your enemy within 20-30 seconds, otherwise his whole team will run to help him and you are dead. Sometimes I even forget how hard it is to play kensei good, and how easy it is to play peacekeeper good... And it says kensei is "easy", even though peacekeeper is much easier to use as she is much much faster. Like I played 2 game with same 7 people with me, my team lost both games but first one as kensei i finished with 600 points with 9-6 kd, second one I played peacekeeper (reason not important) and I got 1100 points at 17-3 score. Big difference just on class... What does this all mean? It means that ubisoft need to nerf peacekeeper more and make kensei like rider, who with one buff pretty much became from one of the worst chars to use, to one of the best. I had a general idea of making his top heavy safe on parry (sides are safe for now, even though sometimes not...). He should get lawbringers combo (heavy - light - heavy). That would make opponents think a lot more and make kensei more valuable. For now its just useless to use him.
OneInchPunchR I try to bait my opponents. As an example, watch when I play against wardens. I know that good Wardens will crushing counterstrike top attacks, so I never throw them out, I only feint them. This way I can bait out a light attack and then parry. You just have to look for openings in any way you can
I'm pretty sad that kensei doesn't have any cool moves. Raider has that special knock back move. Warden has that charging move. But kensei? I wish he got some new animations.
Toeknee My main is rep 21 144 all attacks with high exhaustion recovery, def pen n block damage.. with - 7.2 defence with high stamina n cost or i switch arms for +5.2 defence for elimination games and lose cost reduction...before the big update my kensei was killing machine, so quick on gbs but now hes below average and slow on Stamina. I can't beat Lbs, valks and turtles!
I don't know, most of the time I fight, I don't try to pick 1v1s because of the fact I will get crushed. Just ganking my teammates seems to work for me
I remember when I quit this game, Kensei was my main, purely because how cool he looks. But god damn after a few weeks he became impossible to play. Hes just too predictable, too slow, and doesn't do enough damage to make him worth it. Poor guy :(
"Jinjyo ni Shoubu!"
"I don't speak Japa-"
Apparently he's actually saying, "lets have a fair fight".
Did the "Helm splitter - dash cancel - repeat" and it's broken haha, the enemy dodges to the side but the tracking is crazy
You should try to do these in actual duels while ur recording and make a montage of killing people with that sexy af 720 spin would be dope af.
Crouching Lemon I do highlights but I don't incorporate unlock tech that much. I might do a bit of it now though
How did you do that last double spin right heavy? That was awesome!!!!!!

Will there be a 3.000 hour stream at 3.000 subs?
Lord Quin 5 are you in my head? Now the idea is ruined and I will have to cancel it
Toeknee Dude, I'm really sorry :/
Just wanted to help man
On 4v4 went on a 12-0 kill streak went back to back aces
how do you initiate against an opponent who can tech all your gbs and even parry/block the helm strike?

They didnt add that in the game its always been there fyi
I see why it's better to play on pc it's easier to telegraph peoples attacks kuz of the frames
I've been wanting to get into kensei after mastering orochi and shugoki he doesn't look bad
Oh believe me...he's bad lol.
Im struggling with my kensei ever since the new gears stats was implemented
What specific stats?

Is this out on pc?
I havent seen any updates since the 8th of June.
Tinminator I'm not 100% sure the patch dropped across all platforms yet, but this is pc
A Kensei versus Kensei guide???
Coming soon
nice vid

Hakumai right 😔I got him to rep 5 and just couldn't do it anymore..I moved to the nobushi
Kensei is one of the hardest characters to master and if you play him enough you'll be able to get many, Many kills
Hakumai actually he does quite a bit of damage, 3 heavies from a Kensei have killed me as an assassin
Hakumai that's because you're bad with him (don't take it personally), if you get a grip of him you can do some REAL damage.
Hakumai he’s gonna get a rework this coming season! Come back and ready up!
3rd like and I thank you for the video because I am new to Kensei and not even a rep
Wotto Otto hopefully you will be able to learn some things!
Toeknee I did thank you!
Wotto Otto Lol you have a long tough road ahead my friend :P
Agradeep Khanra yes I do but i got to rep 1 today
DO NOT feint out of the unblockable if you want to do a light attack, you can just soft feint to light attack as if it's a side heavy. jussayin
Well that is for side only, you cant soft feint a top light
Toeknee oh
kensei is listed as "good range" for some reason... wtf?
his light attacks actually have quite good range
Toeknee i suppose youre right, i just think itd make more sense if he was listed as mix up intensive like cent
I'm more surprised that he's considered a vanguard
It's because his overall moveset is very basic, however, what you can do with that is more advanced
2nd like yeeeesssss
(Nobody cares though)
UIE I care don't worry
just go to 5:35 if you want combos and not chit chat
Andrew Givens hey man, chit chat is needed
