Hokuto no Ken/Kenshiro

Introduction

Kenshiro's play-style is quite standard, as one might expect from the main character of a fighting game. He has good normals, well-balanced specials, and his bread and butter combos are very easy to master. His mixup abilities are very good as well thanks to his extremely fast instant air dash B, and he is capable of applying a lot of pressure in the corner. On the defense he is not lacking either, having both an invincible uppercut and Musou Tensei that he can use to get out of bad spots. Overall Kenshiro is a very solid character, and great choice for players of any level. That being said, let us start this section off by listing Kenshiro's main strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths:

• His great mixup in the corner combined with his Chikuseki combos create a devastating combination
• Great star reducing ability
• Practical 4 and even 5-star FKO combos
• Both Musou Tensei and his dragon punch are great defensive tools

Weaknesses:

• Bad matchups against Toki and Juda
• Has a huge hitbox, which makes him very easy to combo

Before diving right into the combos be sure to familiarize yourself with Kenshiro's special/super moves and important normals.
