Good design, good moves, but lacks the va va voom of some of the old school characters. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...7...8...go on I'll give 'im an 8

He was probably my favorite of the newcomers and his blindness and telekinesis were awesome. But now that Ermac is back, he takes second place. His design could be a bit more interesting, but he is still a cool character.
7.5/10

Pretty cool character. The first samarai in MK and all in general: sweet.
7/10

I agree hes the best new character moves n story lines are good 9/10

Kenshi: 9/10
For only being in two games, he has a tremendous amount of story.

Kenshi is the best next to Sub-Zero. Great character design, great outfit, great story, great moves, and great fatalities. 10/10

Kenshi is one of the collest newer people in the game and my second favorite all time he deserves a 10/10

A blind, telekenetic swordsman? How can you get anymore awesome?
10/10

I think Kenshi is pretty cool. He has a cool weapon, special moves, and storyline...but for some reason I don't use him that much. I'm going to give him an 8.5

Sub-Zero - 9
Smoke - 9
Bo' Rai Cho - 4
Kano - 8
Kung Lao - 9
Mileena - 5
Kenshi - 7

One of my favourite characters.

Kenshi eh?
Reminds me of Daredevil.
Also the sword and telekinesis are brilliant for his character and suit him perfectly. I want him to form a temporary alliance with Kabal and/or Kano and possibly be involved with the Red Dragon. Although now it looks more likely that he will be with Sub-Zero or reunite with the special forces.
I honestly think he'll make it through Armageddon.
10/10, Best new character since Quan Chi.

Kenshi for me is a huge disappointment. Wonderful concept but poor execution. He got even worse in MKD.
I'll give him a 5/10.

I really liked playing as Kenshi he gets a 8/10

7...kinda agree a little with tgrant...i think he could be better off as a baddie

i hate kenshi, he has a stupid story, has no real personality that i can see, but he does have a cool look about him and the telekinetic is cool so 5.

Kenshi gets a 7.5/10 from me.
Good, fairly original concept. I liked his moves, though they should be more different from Ermac's. I like his weapon, and his styles have been good too (not great but not crap). His story is fairly good, and he is one of the better newcomers between MK4 and MKD (along with Fujin, Sareena, Nitara, Hsu Hao and Havik).

Deff 10/10!!!
he has such a strong story and is top 5 fav for me.
Like some of you said...
What is cooler than a blind tele-kenetic swordsman??

8. It's interesting they made a character who wants to kill Shang Tsung so late in the series, gets my hopes up for a cool next-gen story.

10/10
I love everything about him (Besides his MKD primary costume), so there's nothing much to say.

Welcome Back..
So Kenshi proves to be another good Mortal Kombat Character Scoring an 83.3 putting him in 3rd Place behind Sub Zero and Kung Lao
Moving on we look at.....Sonya Blade
The Original chick of the Mortal Kombat Series if you will... She was one of the Original Characters of Mk1 missed out Mk2 but returned to 3 ,4 and deadly Alliance.
How do you Rate Sonya? 1 to 10 as per usual..
Mortal Kombat Character Rating History
Day 1. Sub Zero 94.6
Day 2. Smoke 76.6
Day 3. Bo Rai Cho 56.7
Day 4. Kano 78
Day 5. Kung Lao 84.1
Day 6. Mileena 75.3
Day 7. Kenshi 83.8

10/10 for miss Blade! She owns all femmes in MK!

8..Not a Personal Favourite but she is definatly one of the better Female Characters in the MK series IMHO..

Agreed completly Tyrone.
10/10 is exactly what she deserves.
- Sweet moves in all games
- Ok fatalities
- Kick butt character

Sonya's storyline hasn't really gone anywhere since she first appeared. Fortunately, despite being a little boring and underdeveloped, she's always been an amazing fighter and deserves respect for being the original kick-ass woman of MK.
7/10
