Trying To Become a Kendo Pro!

[@Betterthanyou26]

Bro kendo pros are a different breed of people

[@myidolgwen359]

the potential she has but the practice you need for it mixed with the aggression and ferver her mains have, like a semi coming at you down a narrow one way street going 90 mph. one thirsted the hell out of me at the mall with her rapid cards

[@chugvr]

Same with cemetoss pros

Thank you bro XD

Bro, I try my best and be 100% feeling myself from winning a 3v1

[@Nash_determined]

It's been a while since I've played Kendo but I believe you can melee immediately after clap for extra upward movement. 13:48

[@madmayhem6503]

Stray, just wanted to say thank you for these videos man. You inspired me to try out Ultra Rumble (Im a Yellow Deku main too) and I've gotten a few wins here and there. Definitely super fun and worth it. Keep up the great work bro!

[@Chrono-Mic]

Kendo having the highest skill ceiling due to being the worst character in the game makes me respect the ever-loving crap out of dedicated Kendo mains. I want to main her myself, but I genuinely don't have the mental temperament to deal the amount of bs this game allows, let alone on the hardest character to do anything with

[@BigFistProTTV]

I felt insulted and touched at the same time but regardless you should totally try kendo shes way to cool

[@KDOT4200]

You couldn't have explained it.Any better my friend😭

[@DumbConstellations]

Highest skill ceiling?! Worst character?!
Well, maybe, it could be argued she is the worst on PC but she is still fairly decent and can be situationally great. And, power-creep already be creeping : {
But definitely not highest skill ceiling, she's relatively simple to learn and with some more practice it just gets easier playing her effectively. Anyhow, this is from my experience ONLY on PC, not sure how it is on other platforms.

[@Chrono-Mic]

@@DumbConstellations "Situationally great" meaning certain moments/matches have to be set in her favor from the start in order for Kendo to even have a chance to reach said greatness, despite there being no guarantee that it will stay that way.
Bare in mind she has the worst range in the game, that being shotgun range which can miss sometimes even if you're up close. Her shield can be broken incredibly easily when focused, which happens alot. Since she can't look up while shielding and has a slightly slower turning speed, practically anyone can outmaneuver above or around it with little issue and attack or just stay a safe distance away so she can't clap and just beam her down.
I never said she was difficult to use, only that it's hard to get anything done with her when almost the entire roster can do her job and more with an easier time. That's not even mentioning the current meta of spamming stuns and AOE, which in itself is something Kendo can't survive for very long.
TL;DR Kendo is objectively the worst character in the game, not because she's bad or hard to play, but because the game/meta as it is, does not give much reward for her primarily single target, defensive kit

[@lupatheghost1291]

3:45 having a Kendo clap up to you it's probably the most unsettling thing ever in this game😂😂

[@zerospades1266]

Like Jaws popping out the water

[@Latentheatfussion]

Bruh that last team comp is a madness

[@courier4529]

4:00 bro trust that was NASTY. Probably has less than a second left to stop that heal. If a kendo did that to me I'd be done for the day.

[@saiyan_god_z8755]

Kendo mains rise up

[@BigFistProTTV]

Yes ARISE

[@kenziegroenewald444]

Thanks for a Kendo video I have been waiting for 1 for ever!!!!

[@toastedslimeofficial]

Great video Stray! Some improvements that I think can work, you REALLY dont need to level up the Alpha or Beta to max, its just nice to have them. Level 9 Gamma on Kendo is such an easy no brainer for both her movement and her crazy damage. If you manage both her shield and rocks properly, you'll almost never actually run out of them.

[@BigFistProTTV]

But when you lose track of your alpha count while thirsting...

[@toastedslimeofficial]

@@BigFistProTTV Alternate your claps between your thirsts! You'd be surprised at how alarmingly fast all her cooldowns are.

[@Vakota]

with kendo you MUST max gamma first, its her best move and believe me, its absolute trash if its not at least level 5

[@BigFistProTTV]

Not really. Her gamma had mad burst on it at all levels so its optional to max it but alpha is better in my opinion

[@Vakota]

@@BigFistProTTV gamma have a extremely tiny hitbox at low levels, it's basically useles, and at high levels it has a very Big and sometimes disjointed hitbox, and being her move with armor, i don't think it needs more explanations

[@BigFistProTTV]

@@Vakota yeah i guess thats fair it needs to have its hitbox fixed. I only use it for mobility and combos so it hits every time cuz im super close to the target but i see your point i just like alpha first

[@K-lil21]

That Wall run to kill that Mt. Lady might be the clip of the season

[@oshawottcat]

I am a terrible Kendo but I've been playing her more lately because I think she's really fun once you get past the early learning curve on how to use her properly on a basic level.

[@REP_GAME]

12:30 Ibara’s alpha, Denki’s Beta, Dabi’s gamma can all penetrate Kendo’s shield.
Personally I go lvl4 gamma > lvl4 alpha, then max one of them (usually gamma 9/10). I used to do my beta when I was first starting out but the more experience I had the less often I was using her shield.

[@wolfy-yl8lw]

Thanks for the kendo video stray she's underrated 😊 could you also do another kirishima video you play him well

[@ghostlyedward]

That end of that last game had some jujutsu level beatdowns

[@nicholaspalazzo3898]

Hey stray, I noticed it a few times in your first game but there's a glitch where if a move hits your shield in the midde of your alpha glides, it'll force your apha into cooldown regardless of how many bullets you had

[@arrivedvasegreene5647]

Watching your videos has made my movement so much better

[@senseimoonshadow9987]

Yooo I was just gonna comment on the last video if you do a kendo video I found out that if you end up with an aizawa and wait till he’s almost done with the gamma then use kendo’s gamma the dmg is insane! Love the video btw keep up the awesome work

[@notnick5535]

I love Kendo. It's my first character that I got 10 k.os on which is crazy to me. Also I love flying from time to time ;))

[@max_mojo4917]

Kendo is hard to plau but her tag team with stun and grab characters is elite i played her with ibara and denki teammates one time and the ibara gamma + kendo alpha + denki beta is deadly combo

As one of if not THE top Kendo on switch i will share some wisdom.
Kendos alpha is prob her best move. It had mad combo potential so maxing it first is a must
I usually don't level my beta too much as i play more aggressively and dont use it as a shield so much as for alpha gliding
Kendos gamma is very strong however its combo potential is pretty low because of its knockdown i usually get it to 4 before maxing alpha but if i wanna play more around my alpha i max it after alpha.
Also make sure to use blue cards alot as her air melee works well with them and blue cards are basically part of her kit for kendo mains
ABUSE HER COMBOS!!! Kendo has the best combos in the game so try to go for them rather than spamming alphas and gammas
Practice fighting alot. Sometimes ill run a game where i just do nothing but fight. Its good practice for learning more advanced combos and its just kinda fun.
Have fun!!! Kendo is the BEST character in the game no matter what anyone says! So have fun and play around with tech and combos alot.
Hope this helped anyone aspiring to play kendo. Keep in mind that kendo takes alot of time and skill to play. She was my first main so it may take a while to adjust to her play style especially if you play rapid or stike characters.

[@Wizofmincraft]

I wonder how many people know pressing melee get’s you out of kendo’s hand when she grabs you… 🤔

[@rnd0mkid93]

Metsurjken on TH-cam for everything you need to know about Kendo if you really wanna learn!

[@nicholaspalazzo3898]

Hey stray! If you're open to collabs, I think you and MetsuRJKen would have awesome synergy. He's the goated kendo for sure.

[@BigFistProTTV]

Metsu-Sensei tought me everything i know i would love this collab

[@AbyssalTrinity]

Gonna be honest stray you need to use the clap more bro you could have easily kill a few times other than that good job 👍

[@inferno1738]

Honestly. I use her the same as stray but for different reasons. Because of where I live, the delay makes the clap near useless

[@AbyssalTrinity]

@@inferno1738 true that's a big factor but either way he did good.i used the claps alot but I get what you mean about the lag

[@AtTerence]

These few videos your fights been feeling like the anime itself lol

[@K-lil21]

I play more of a defensive style Kendo. I max gamma first then Beta then Alpha. I mainly use Aplha for the chip damage or the Aplha glide. I use her shield a ton and have been in many situations where if it isn’t at least lvl 4 it’s going to break fast. Even if at lvl 4 and the whole team focuses you, your shield can be gone in like 3 sec.

[@keknoodles858]

was trying out Toga for the first time on the second game. Thx for the rez lol

[@Nightfox7983]
