Kenshi Combos
Key:
QCF = Quarter Circle Forward (Down to Forward) ; QCB = Quarter Circle Back (Down to Back); JIP = Jump In Punch; BF = Back to Front
1,1,4 -> QCB+1 -> X-Ray = 7 hits (39%) (the X-Ray timing can be pretty difficult)
F+3,2 -> enhanced BF+2 = 4 hits (20%)
1,1,4 -> enhanced QCB+1 -> enhanced BF+3 = 10 hits (27%)
F+2,2,B+1 -> QCB+1 -> F+2,2,B+1 = 7 hits (28%)
F+2,2,B+1 -> QCB+1 -> F+2,2,B+2 = 7 hits (30%)
F+2,2,B+1 -> QCB+1 -> F+2,2 -> X-Ray = 9 hits (42%) (45% w/ JIP)
or
JIP -> F+2,2,B+1 -> QCB+1 -> F+2 -> X-Ray = 9 hits (46%)
Wall = 2,1,B+2 -> X-Ray = 6 hits (40%)
Wall = 2,1,B+2 -> QCB+1 -> Uppercut = 5 hits (27%)
Wall = 2,1,B+2 -> enhanced QCB+1 -> 3 -> enhanced BF+3 = 11 hits (33%)
Wall = F+2,2,B+1 -> enhanced QCB+1 -> F+3,2 -> enhanced BF+3 = 9 hits (35%)
Wall = JIP -> F+2,2,B+1 -> 2,1,B+2 -> QCB+1 -> F+2,2 -> enhanced BF+3 = 12 hits (41%)
Wall = 2,1,B+2 -> 2,1,B+2 ->QCB+1 -> 4 -> X-Ray = 11 hits (46%)
F+3,2 -> enhanced QCB+1 -> enhanced BF+3 = 9 hits (25%)
2,1 -> QCB+1 -> F+3,2 -> enhanced BF+2 = 7 hits (27%)
2,1,B+2 -> enhanced QCB+1 -> enhanced BF+3 = 10 hits (30%)
JIP,F+2,2,B+1 > F+3,2 > QCB+1 > F+3,2 > enh. B,F+2 = 10 hits (37%)
It can take me a while to find some decent combos, so please excuse them if they suck.
Feel free to share some of your own!

Also, please feel free to share some of your tactics and such, or how exactly you feel about his gameplay.

Lol. Down + 3 or Down + 4?

It made me smile to see his one-legged sweep back..

whatever circle is on PS3...

The "bad" low kick is that one - the good one is the one reptile and baraka has.

My apologies to RockChalk if I've duplicated any of the above...at first glance I don't think there are any duplicates but these are what I've come up with after day 1....I think it's safe to say that Kenshi is a beast....

@ProphecY_308
Wow! Great work with those.

Don't worry about posting duplicates...it gets hard to keep track of each chain.

thanks Rock, the most damage i've been able to do is that last Xray i just added...47% is the cap so far, but I think a nice discovery here is that instead of juggling after the first F+2>2>1 with an additional F+2+2 or 1,1 chain, you should use the F+3, 2 chain it seems to add more damage no matter how you finish it, and frankly it's easier to hit then repetitive F+2>2>1's and 1,1,'s imo. I love Kenshi he is sick.

edit: Yeah this is confirmed, I've tried every 1 meter combo i've posted and with the F+3,2 as the "2nd chain" in the juggle it adds 3% to every one of them. Interesting.

@ProphecY_308
Sweet! Thanks for the advice.

I'm by no means an expert player or combo-curator, so keep at it, man!

Thanks for posting.

These are probably peppered somewhere in the lists/videos, but I'll be using the following for BnBs:

(High Hits)

F+2,2,B+1, Dash, F+3,2 xx Rising Karma, Dash, F+3,2 xx Spirit Charge (35%--with JP 39%)

(Mid Hit)

2,1,B+2, Rising Karma, Dash, F+3,2 xx Spirit Charge (31%--with JP 34%)

(Low Hit)

F+3,2 xx Rising Karma, Dash, F+3,2 xx Spirit Charge (26%--with JP 30%)

@TheDarkPassenger

Great! Thanks for contributing.

It's fun testing these all out to see if they fit into your playstyle.

•07/08/2011 02:30 AM (UTC) •

2,1,B+2 -> QCB+1 -> Dash -> F+3,2 -> enhanced BF+2 = 8 hits (32%)
Wall = 1,1,4 -> enhanced QCB+1 -> F+3,2 -> enhanced QCB+1 = 9 hits (31%)

More later!

good stuff everyone keep it coming.....there's so much to this character I love the versatility! Great vid also....

•07/08/2011 03:57 AM (UTC) •

Hmm...the site's being weird about me adding to previous posts, so here's another good combo I found:
Wall = 1,1,4 -> enhanced QCB+1 ->2,1,B+2 -> enhanced QCB+1 = 10 hits (34%)

Edit: Here's a nice combo video. All damage between 25% and 50%.

Wow. That's great!

Thank you so much for investing so much time and effort into this!

Edit: Decent combo (obviously you can change the enhanced Telekinetic Slash as you see fit, depending on where you are):
Midscreen = 1,1,4 -> enhanced QCB+1 -> enhanced QCB, F+1 = 7 hits (28%)
Wall=2,1,B+2 -> F+3,2 -> enhanced QCB+1 -> F+3,2 -> enhanced B,F+2 = 11 hits (38%)
Edit: Here's a great pointers section on TYM with advice and tips. Combos as well!

Really great stuff, you guys!

I wish I could master Kenshi like this. He feels way to slow and heavy for me. I mostly rely on his specials against the CPU and can barely make a decent combo.

Still love him, though.
