    As a kensei main from day one, i have never been this happy.

    Im definitely excited about this being a kensei main

    • @dippywilson3741

      The only downside I see is that you have to kinda start over again learning him don't you think?

    • @andrewmartin1854
      @andrewmartin1854 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Not really, just a little muscle memory adjustment here and there and everyone who mains a reworked character will be set to go

    • @jodytaylor936
      @jodytaylor936 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Same here I’ve stuck with kensei for 18 reps I’m definitely exited for the rework

      Yeah I guess.

      Lmao since beta kensei was the second best character back in beta he was fast and had a hard hitting heavy chain with armor or a free damage if the enemy cant dodge nobody could parry back then

  • @TheLastKeyblade
    @TheLastKeyblade 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I hope those fuckers in the dev team adjust the speed of the atracks for consoles, or there will be problems once again, but kensei needed this rework for a while now.

    • @valeriolama1
      @valeriolama1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      TheLastKeyblade we will have a lot of fun on console with the 400 ms lights zerk is getting after a feint

    • @TheLastKeyblade
      @TheLastKeyblade 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      valeriolama1 yea, he was already pretty op on consoles, why not make him more op. XD

    • @benfica1171
      @benfica1171 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cute. If the devs gave a shit about console we'd have different timings.

  • @nilesolon9
    @nilesolon9 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This rework will definitely make Kensei more competitive. Tbh a part of me will miss the original moveset and that beating any other character with Kensei meant you were just a better player.

    • @xX-fd2qj
      @xX-fd2qj 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Think of the fear you'll inspire though when patch rolls around and your opponent sees "Rep 20+" and realize just what they're dealing with.

  • @chuckmura573

  • @cougarclifford3035
    @cougarclifford3035 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Kensei looks like he's stepping up as a me challenger in the arena. Looking forward to see what they do with zerker, cause I thought he was in a good place. Super glad to see more For Honor content out of ya. By far some of the best FH coverage on the tube. Thank you.

  • @TheSoundstalker

  • @stone8795
    @stone8795 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I don't know why, but I like the fact that they made his top heavy as slow as Wardens and Raider. Adds a degree of consistency with the Vanguards.

    • @stone8795
      @stone8795 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's amazing to see how changing one animation can open a character to so many new attacks.

    • @torinsnotmyname827
      @torinsnotmyname827 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Allkamist i see nothing too game changing, once you’ve fought a few and adjusted to the new kensei tech I think he’ll be a good mid-top teir but still not meta like the dlc heroes

    • @General_Ito
      @General_Ito 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Don't agree, everything cancelled into everything? We're talking a new Shaman here...

  • @Bash_Minimal
    @Bash_Minimal 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Yo Bouse, Kensei’s soft cancel into side light from his top unblockable is currently in the game and is listed, unlike his ability to soft cancel into a dodge/any dash attacks. His new zone looks like it’s lacking the old hyper armor too

    • @joyce_rx
      @joyce_rx 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Aaron Bowie His new zone doesn't have any hyper armor anymore

    • @gmliquid87

      It will when you get revenge to get gankers off your back

    • @mordschlag2816
      @mordschlag2816 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pretty sure that there is no side light soft cancel on the live Kensei UB finisher. A side heavy cancel into the side finisher sure, that's been there since launch. But no side light. I'm sure of it.

    • @luivela4395
      @luivela4395 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ciaran Daddo-Langlois yes there Is, you can cancel the top ub into side heavy or side light. It's not soft feinted but the cancel's there.

    • @mordschlag2816
      @mordschlag2816 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lui Vela Yeah, the side heavy is a soft feint, a side light is a hard feint. That is not moveset specific nor is it unique, it is a core feature that can be replicated by anyone with a suitable chain finisher, unlockable or not. It's also suicidal in the live build because of how slow Kensei's side lights are.
      That was my point. The new side light cancel is a soft feint, not a hard feint and is new to the kit.
      EDIT: It has occurred to me that you might be referencing the dodge cancel into Swift Strike. That is not what I'm talking about, to be clear.

  • @brettharrison8478
    @brettharrison8478 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hells yes! I've been playing Kensei since release. He's always needed a rework, especially since the DLC heroes are so incredibly strong

  • @evvann88

  • @codywhat3159

  • @GameHunterDeathhunter
    @GameHunterDeathhunter 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    The swift strike has been change now its considered a heavy not a light attack so no heavy attack after a parry from it

  • @MrJUSTchr1s
    @MrJUSTchr1s 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    His guard also automatically transitions in the direction you dodge. So now you can actually make use of his superior block on dodge to guarantee a GB or light.

  • @UnblessedSpy
    @UnblessedSpy 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I always had a soft spot for Kensei, but I only managed to get to rep 5 with him before getting tired of his awkward moveset. This is a huge improvement and definitely gives me another reason to play him again.

  • @Captain_Crayzay
    @Captain_Crayzay 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been playing Kensie since beta and I'm pumped about this! He'll finally be at the same level as all the 50/50 unblockable cancel guardbreak heroes.

  • @mekkor0101
    @mekkor0101 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Bouse, you forgot one thing about his unblockable. In the devstream they demonstrated that you could cancel it into a front dashing heavy, as you could roll backwards to escape from him. Not anymore, as it chases them down really well

  • @deathxshade

    • @batimaaposafeiradafruta9581
      @batimaaposafeiradafruta9581 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Quicksilver definitely agree with you, warden's options are basically limited to vortex spam, zone attack and trying to r1 top attacks

    • @bigj2105
      @bigj2105 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yah, I’m a Valkyrie main and fighting a warden is such a joke. They basically have a shittier version of my shield slam.

    • @strikemasterice2004
      @strikemasterice2004 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Quicksilver The whole deal with Kensei now being able to soft feint from a top heavy was what I actually wanted the Warden to have the whole time, especially the pommel strike! I think that moveset will suit the Warden better cause his top heavy is one of the slowest attacks in the game.

  • @elliotgaunt4251
    @elliotgaunt4251 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of the biggest changes is his superior block from the dodge, your stance now automatically changes to match the direction of movement so it will much easier to use now, more like a deflect. Not sure what u with be able to get from it but if the forward dodge secures a non teachable GB it's going to be op.

  • @onlyicedgarrett7791
    @onlyicedgarrett7791 6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @EmptyTenementSpirit
    @EmptyTenementSpirit 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    You always could do side lights and stuff out of his Unblockable mixups, it was just that all of his attacks came out super fast from the startup so it wasn't really good.

  • @badoobles
    @badoobles 6 ปีที่แล้ว +57

    Since open beta kensei has always been an insanely fun character with a lot of potential in my eyes. With kensei being underpowered players had to learn how to play mind games with there opponents in order to gain an edge. And now with the kensei's abilities being brought up to par with the rest of the roster, that edge just got sharpened. I can't wait for this. 😁 what I CAN wait for is all the people screaming "NEW MAIN" after dissing kensei for so long and now they're just like "oh he's cool now I want to use him" 😑

    • @BeyonDeath78
      @BeyonDeath78 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cytamis no, he’s not up to par with the rest of the cast he’s way above them. Up there with Shaman imo

    • @sirleftknight6968
      @sirleftknight6968 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Cytamis Pre- rework Kensei’s were just gb and light spam. Anyone who tried anything fancy got crushed. At least in my experience. Good to see kensei has great mix up potential.

    • @badoobles
      @badoobles 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      BeyonDeath78 - Yeah that is true and I feel kind of bad playing an op character but hopefully they'll balance him out soon. 😅

    • @badoobles
      @badoobles 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      For Honor is not honorable you can usually throw in some heavies and if you got your opponent open enough you could usually soft get your whole chain in and do an unlockable and either soft feint or let it fly, but yeah there are quite a lot of kensei's who just light spam all the time and it's super annoying so hopefully that stops a little now.😂

    • @DaSharkCraftMC
      @DaSharkCraftMC 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I stopped maining kensei for one reason, options. I switched to shinobi to have a broader moveset with a LOT of mixups. Then I went to aramusha, then back to shinobi. I played kensei a lot still but he was very lacking in 1vganks. Now that he has so much more, time to pull him back in more often. (im still maining shinobi but I will use kensei way more often)

    Dunno if you'll get this comment, but I'm glad For Honor is getting the love that it deserves, even if it's after the fact. I quit the game a while ago (due to TV input lag), and I know things looked really rough for a long time. But I'm glad the devs haven't given up (like they had to do with Mass Effect, for example). And these changes look more promising than a lot of the changes I've seen in the past. Keep up the good work, and I hope that these updates put For Honor and you into a good place!

  • @themanwiththeplan5919
    @themanwiththeplan5919 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    He did loose the uninterruptible on helm splitter so if it gets blocked you'll get the light block animation now. Not even close to outweighing the new benefits, but still felt it should be mentioned lol. Also theyre changing the superior block so we don't have to match the opponents guard anymore. Kinda importante

  • @TwizslurD
    @TwizslurD 6 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @alfamari7675
    @alfamari7675 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Anyone notice the damage 2 top heavies did at 4:29? Leaves the pk with less than 50 health, I bet the final unblockable finisher would kill. Ik you'd never get that off in a fight, but still, just the ability to kill in 3 hits is still crazy.
    Since you can cancel the unblockable with a dodge, and you can go immediately into the unblockable from the dodge attack, you can infinite chain the two. Now we just need to see if that unblockable is late parry-able, it most like is since most attacks in the game are, and if so, the unblockable feint will STILL be useless, and that's the biggest issue.

  • @patrickboisson3022
    @patrickboisson3022 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does anybody know the best combo after parrying? I’m a rep 14 Kensei main and one of my favorite old moves was to land a light, fake a heavy, get the parry, and get that free guard break heavy and start chaining all the old different combos. From playing the new update after you parry and go for the guard break it isn’t automatic anymore and they can get out of the guard break after being parried.

      Yes, but superior block works more like an assassin deflect now, meaning that you automatically block in the direction you're dodging. So it'll be easier to do it reactively but the forward dodge won't be as safe anymore (against PK f.e. when you forward dodge and guard right to catch her zone).

      Reaper of Hope nope, think shaman dodge heavy

    • @NoGround94
      @NoGround94 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      They did that so that he doesn't get interrupted by block, 1, and 2, so that it has the heavy parry punish if it gets parried (allows for a light attack only because of the CBG from parry changes)

    • @TheLordNovo
      @TheLordNovo 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Reaper of Hope possibly. We will just have 2 see

    • @shrewerk01

      NoGround you could always follow up the chain even if it was blocked as a light input....

      Gud Hunter As a Gladiator main, I hate it. It's basic, and it doesn't even utilise his weapon, or buckler for that matter. My dream execution for Gladiator is this:
      When the execution starts Gladiator removes the trident as he normally does and stabs his target into the torso like he's using the Skewer Used In Chains move, with both arms Gladitor rips the trident out through the right side of the victims body, he then comes back with his buckler and hits the foe with the boss of his buckler. As his now dead enemy falls down towards the ground Gladiator raises his trident and buckler, with his arms outstretched and shouts, "NONNE DELECTARI?" (Latin for: Are you not entertained?) He then returns to his weapon ready stance, preparing for his next challenger.

      Greek gladiators also used similar armor and weapons
      So it can be either.
      Though I do hope we get a Greek hoplite eventually.
      Or an a kopesh wielding character

    Hey bouse I noticed that his new moveset says the heavy finisher can be cancelled into GB. Does this mean we can soft feint it like Cent and Shaman by just pressing the GB input?

  • @MachineSpiritMelodies
    @MachineSpiritMelodies 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    So the new attack basically is the old unlockable only now it's a normal dash heavy pretty cool.

    I am only rep 5 with him, but I spend more than 30k steel in under 5 minutes for outfits, executions, emotes for him. I cant wait to not be parried every attack I try to do with him now.

  • @IJAY2509
    @IJAY2509 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    A well deserved rework, all kensei mains will now dominate the battlefield. the new fighting style is now looking like he is dancing with his sword and thats exactly what the kensei should be. now he realy is the swordsaint!

  • @antixerum
    @antixerum 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    See! I told you all he was a timelord! Not only did he predict what was bopping in his video before last weeks(?) stream, but now he's given us gameplay from season 5... WE MUST PRAISE.

  • @LeRoyt97

    My question is how do you beat him? I’ve always had trouble with kensei. His range along with his dodge attacks destroy any chance I have of beating him with highlander.
