Hokuto no Ken/Kenshiro/Introduction

From SuperCombo Wiki

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.

Pros Cons
  • Good corner mixup
  • Great star reducing ability, capable of 4 and even 5-star combos
  • Equipped with many options for escaping pressure
  • Bad matchups against Toki and Juda
  • Has a huge hitbox, which makes him very easy to combo
