Kenshi

MK9-Kenshi Face.jpg

Kenshi, a proud swordsman was promised the legendary Sentou sword by a strange old man, who was actually Shang Tsung in disguise. When he took the sword, Kenshi also released ancient warrior spirits that were all consume by Shang Tsung. He was then left to die in the dark. Blind but alive, Kenshi was guided out of the tomb by the mystical sword. Led by his senses, and fueled by revenge, Kenshi believes in an eye for an eye..

Kombo Attacks

F.png+Bp.png , Bp.png , B.png+Fp.png

Launcher. Safe on block.

F.png+Bp.png , Bp.png , B.png+Bp.png

Advantage on block.


Fp.png , Fp.png , Bk.png

Good corner combo string. Can follow up on hit in open space with Med Tele Slash. If blocked, tack on a Spirit Charge or Rising Karma to make the string safe.
Also this string is great to build meter.

Fast special that tracks the opponent anywhere on screen. Not safe upclose. Good for meter building.
