I know it's all fun and games to rag on some the animation choices that NRS makes, but this version of Kenshi has to be one of the most stylish, well animated MK characters ever. Every single movement looks so buttery smooth... Couple that with the sound design for his katana and I can already tell whoever was in charge of putting his gameplay together is incredibly talented.
ABS Animation shop moment🗿 while i understand NRS has a relationship with atrocious fighting game animations(i'm looking at you mkx) i was really hoping to see them improve. fence punching seems down to a minimum at least
I really don't think any criticism is honestly warranted for MK1. Everything I've seen looks really natural. I mean, MK11 was fine. Totally understand 9 and X hate tho
Because there is a lot of improvement, people just like to spout the same thing without previously checking, so far I've only seen two questionable animations but there's no awkward low kicks as of now, Liu Kang, Sub-Zero and Kenshi's animations are on point, sure it's far from the best animated game specially from the fighting genre but they come a long way to distance themselves from the animation of MKX.
Kenshi is a beast. I played all weekend as him. Never was a fan of Kenshi before now. His moves/kombo set are off the hook. This game looks incredible so far. Small detail as well that I love about playing as kenshi is the sound the sword makes - totally makes me feel like a total boss.

This was such a great set. the future is bright in this one. I'm allmost looking forward more to watch u guys play this game, than to play myself. For real, this is such a nice game to watch allready, with so few Karakters/Kameos.
With the way everything is shaping up with the roster, kameo system, visuals, story, and all, it feels like we might have a MK game with the potential to match if not exceed MK9.
I am loving this game so much dude. You got me into Kenshi specifically, and 6 people rage quit against my Kenshi, THIS CHARACTER IS SO SICK, a truly complex awesome character, and you press way way way more buttons when using Kenshi, he’s like a *Driving Stick* type character. By far one of the most fun characters I’ve played in any MK game. September 19th can’t come sooner bruh
I never even liked kenshi in the previous games, but he is easily my new favorite character they made him so freaking cool in this game I can't believe it
When I first saw this version of Johnny I was apprehensive with no green energy and I thought he looked small but seeing him in action I love it. Not to mention that one lady screaming out “Finish ME Johnny”
Kenshi is so beautiful to look at and satisfying to learn to play, I think the most complete character in mk1. I really can't wait for the things that can be discovered in training mode. I just wish they would give him a speed or strings buff, it seems kind of silly to me that they nerfed his strings when the biggest problem in the first beta was his damage, he was pretty balanced because of his difficulty curve and because the character archetype works that way.
I don't think they should give him a buff, I think they should have just left him alone until after release. Seems every character on the roster is insanely good so i think the nerf was a bit premature but Kenshi is still beautiful to look at like you said lol.
@@StevelyBruckShut johnny's mix is mostly and safe, and sure she has ridiculous frames on a few of his moves but the phasing dash not that difficult to exploit.
So I'm brand new to fighting games just really started getting into them and just played the beta and my god I can't possibly understand how someone could get so godlike so fast 😮
I havent played mortal kombat since it was MK3 and I know I suck at anything PVP (fighting game, FPS). But I’ve been enjoying MK content creators so much lately that I just want to say thanks. Shoutout to Super, Ninja, Rewind, and you of course for making my work week a little better. Thanks
I picked up kenshi in the beta pretty easily surprisingly cuz he’s my first puppet character I’ve ever played by day 3 I was feeling comfortable with him can’t wait to play everybody else on the roster 🔥
Wow. Johnny being able to kombo into Hype Mode, then special kancel to kontinue a kombo is wild. That said, I hope NRS speed up Kenshi's Sento stance switch a bit so he won't be too much of a sitting duck when Sento's time is up. At this point, Kenshi looks kompletely fuqed when he's still in the Sento stance and Sento is gone.
Johnny Cage spamming moves in hype mode is the funniest thing I've seen in a MK game in a long time
Exactly! Always fun to watch a guy getting his nuts busted a million times in 10 seconds 😂
Still sick🔥🔥
@@diomarius7445 defo sick 🔥🔥🔥💥

Yes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
1:38 That 52% Johnny Cage combo is INSANE
That combo was a sight for sore eyes
sheeeesh rewind cookin
I thought it was a corner combo when I seen Ninjakilla do it the other day, crazy it basically carry’s full screen and no need for corner lol
Brooo the combo potential is gonna be crazyyy especially with the kameos..
It was basically the same 3 moves over and over...j.s.

My only complaint would be the sound effect of hitting meat or something squishy when hitting your opponent sometimes.
I agree but i dont think this is true for all characters. Kitana looks type clunky. But johnny cage runs hella smooth in this game.

7:33 had me rolling 😂😂 Kenshi’s Sento stance was still active after the breaker and Rewind just gets hit by Sento out of nowhere 😂
and rewind voice in the background make it funnier LMAOO 🤣
"That thing is still here"😂😂😂
@@jerrythehedgehog7566it’s also the fact that it was out of frame and it only comes into frame when it hits Rewind😂

LMAO😂
The incredible
number of times Kenshi takes a punch to the nuts is a testament to his durability and sheer will. They are the real heroes
7:33 Sento coming out of another dimension to hit rewind and his reaction 😂😂😂😂
Johnny Cage's fighting style in this game is so CLEAN! His combos are so satisfying to watch

Kenshi has always been a awesome character.
So you weren’t a fan of him until he was absolutely brain dead broken? Okay.
literally always, yes@@streetkombat6088
Whoa....3:06 is what we call high level play. That side switch back into the corner was chef's kiss.

@scorpio5442mk11 was so boring to play
As someone who actually enjoyed mk11. MK1 is much more fun to play and watch, even if I’m nowhere near as good as Sonic and Rewind
1:38 i can’t even comprehend the amount of skill that took to perform
This is definitely the year of the combos . I love it can’t wait to see what homelander does
Rewind thr first one I've seen make hype look worth it. Crazy how they come up with this stuff, and there's not even a practice mode 😭
Also crazy he knows when to press during Kento stance.
Ninjakilla gotta crazy Johnny too
Ninjakilla’s johnny is way better mf was doing 42 hit combos
Sonic got a crazy Johnny as well. I seen Sonic doing these crazy combos before I saw NJ and/or Rewind.

Sonic was like I got that dog in me…. that dog shit 😂😂😂
Johnny is the sickest character to watch by far ! The crowd cheering when he enters star mode the sound effect of the hits and combo potential is dope
So they took away Johnny's projectiles and made it impossible to get through his pressure instead
W
Thats why we have kameos to make up for that, use sub zero kameo to be projectile immune or a future unknown kameo that probably spams projectiles
His pressure is pretty meh, Kenshi is the real problem here

The material of freezing with frost kemeo is making keshi so strong that extra time of sermoning sento 😮😮😮 just crazy.
The fact u can do do hype mode in between a combo is insane

It’s like they grabbed Kenshi out a real samurai game 😮😂
After that combo at 1:38 this might be the best version Johnny Cage period.

Well Kenshi you ain't seen none of em! Split punch... toasty!
That combos?! 3:03
i couldnt stop laughing at 4:30 you can just hear rewind in the background in a southern accent
Beautiful set! I like u guys since Joker vs Batman match!
Not the blind man talking about some "seen one, seen 'em all" lol he dogged the fuck outta Johnny.

They study the frame rate data for moves and match them up
omg that first game second round from rewind was a thing of beauty damn that was ill
Using the Kano Kameo to ensure that Johnny Cage roundhouse kick isn't punished is really smart.
They made the move highly punishable to force you to use Kameo at this moment
