I have to confess, not having played an MK from 4 to vsDCU, I wasn't too impressed when they said Kenshi would be a downloadable character.

But, after that video, I'm so there. Tuesday can't get here fast enough.

Well on the facebook forum thing i said Sheeva should have the finishing move from a game(Forget what one) where she pounds them into the ground and kicks their head off and every one dissagreed with me. Game comes out and Jax has it and every one loves it. Anyway Kenshi looks like hes one of the better characters in this game, even better than Skar. (Skarlet is like one of my favs now BTW)

Kenshi looks fantastic. Still not buying thought XD.

Your loss XD

FAIL

Best name ever.


Then they fucked it up with Escape from LA



On topic, I really like Kenshi.

Always have. He's right below Kano on my favorites list, and has been for a while (since MKDA).

Here ar some things I like and don't like (simply based on the info already provided, and some minor assumptions)

Likes

- Outfit. They belended the Anime type stlyle with something a little more updated and fitting for the art style of this game, as opposed to the last few games.

- Sword gameplay. I always thought the TK was cool, but wished he was a more sword based character. Now he is.

- Fatality. Holy shit!!, did they really manage to take someone with a SWORD and NOT give them a boring slice and dice fatality?!?! Second one looks just as cool, they managed to work out the TK fatality without making it boring.

Dislikes

- Baboon ass...

- No speaking, though it was half expected.

- (This would be me assuming) Not being able to play online during the week, and some weekedns even, and also not even being on the same level with most players (I play MK for the story, and it is the only fighting game I have ever played) things got pretty boring after story mode, challenge tower, beating arcade ladder with everyone...

The only thing that brought me back was Skarlet, and she lasted like 5 day because (playing MK for the story and all) I was pretty disappointed with her story, and lack of character (No speaking, bland motives).

Seeing as how most people don't treat 1 DLC character much different from the other, I'm geussing Kenshi and Rain will get the same treatment (Rain is right after Kenshi and Kano on my favorites list, so if I'm right, I'm gonna get screwed again in a couple of weeks.)

OMFG! I got goose bumps. This is F'N Epic Kenshi here!

Joy to the World, he is coming! His two few seconds of his fatalities just leaves wonders to the imagination. When his fatality vids are released, I'm probably going to crack and view them . I nearly "came" while viewing the trailer....no not really, just sarcasim.

i think i just peed my pants a little. I have never geeked out so much over a trailer. for however much excited i was over Skarlet's release, times that by around 100. I was not too much of a Kenshi fan before, but i am DEFINITELY going to be getting him when he releases. I plan on getting all DLC, which kinda disappoints me that PS3 didnt get any sort of Season pass.

And this is how you remake the single best feature of the 3D era into a thing of legend.


Heh. I was under the impression all this time that Ermac had taught Kenshi his TK abilities, but looking back at the DA Konquest it was just the TK slam. Here I was worried we'd have TK abilities with no explanation whatsoever...silly me. Very glad to be wrong on that.

I've already bought a $20 PSN card.

Kenshi's 2nd fatality reminds me when you get knocked off the stage on Super Smash Bros. Brawl

It reminds me of smashing your opponents into the screen in Mortal Kombat 4, which I thought was hilarious.

That too. How could I forget that?! SMH

Now HE is awesome! I passed on Skarlet but I'm definitely copping Kenshi. Kenshi & Sonya tag-team is gonna be awesome!

I'm still not 100% convinced that's a fatality.
It probably is,
but it could be a throw, or a winpose.

Also, no other teaser trailer has shown *both* fatalities...

It would be cool if it *is*, though- I felt like they wasted Ermac's potential with his Fatalities.

Skarlet's did. And it showed Kenshi's win pose. He spins the sword in the air with his mind, and sticks it in the ground. Plus the screen was black when he was slamming Cage against the screen. If it was a throw the screen wouldn't be cracking. It's a Fatality.

holy shit kenshi top tier lmao.......and i actually cringed at the first fatality brutal lol

They could always make the cracks and blood disappear,
but good point about the screen going black (though it's not fully black there like it is during his other one... what's up with that?)

Now I'm a little annoyed they gave away both Fatalities in his first video,
but I guess with him coming out next week, there wasn't as much promo time.

Does this mean no vignette?

And to the people commenting on his X-Ray starting with the sword throw-
I'm guessing that's to compensate for his lack of a "normal" projectile,
and an overall rather short-ranged moveset.

I wonder if he can reflect Kahn's Hammers?
You Skarlet players might want to keep those Blood Balls to yourself against Kenshi... doing 20% damage to yourself *can't* be fun.

Lol, i think this video made many people forget that Nightwolf as well has a reflect move. One time reflected that little blood ball back at Scarlet, watching her get a huge chunk of life taken. It felt great.

I didn't forget- despite him being my least favorite character,
I give him props as MK's first "Reflector" (and one of the first in *any* franchise).

I just haven't used him against Skarlet, and I know his reflect doesn't work on Kahn's Hammer. I hope Kenshi's Slice does, as its active time window is a good bit shorter than Nightwolf's (much like Kratos' Golden Fleece, which *does* counter The Hammer).

Can anyone here tell me how to download the content if you can't get high speed internet I can't get it were I live please.

I'm speechless with Kenshi. In my opinion, the best post-MK4 character there is was made into a greater fighter. A little disappointed about the lack of voices too, but oh well. Can't wait to use him.

Really like Kenshi, but this video isn't doing it for me. Looks like Cage wearing a red Crytek suit and the animations just look poor to me. I'll still buy it cause I like him as a character, but eh... not impressed.

Maybe that will change once I'm controlling him, but he just looks stiff and everything that they showed was ground-heavy... he looks heavy to control.

Hmmm I really want to see ninja mime's post unless he hasn't posted yet.
