There's always something fun about the fighting game characters who have a physical trait what most would call a handicap that they overcome to become skilled fighters. In Kenshi's case, his design and overall story made him very distinct and memorable in comparison to the other 3D era characters. You'd certainly be able to have someone who knows nothing about MK understand what Kenshi is all about just by looking at him.

Hey, recently found the channel after hearing you on Triple KO ages ago and the videos have been really interesting to listen to as someone who hasn't played much mortal kombat but always appreciated it from afar. If your up for suggestions, I'd be interested to see what the history on Johnny Cage is since he appears so much throughout the series. I've also got so little exposure to the 3D Era of games so seeing all the characters change through those has been really fun too!

Actually Kenshi was already a master swordsman before he got Sento, Shang Tsung (disguised as a harmless old man named Song) knew this and used it against him by flattering him when he said he was a great swordsman who needed a sword worthy of his skill and you know what went down after that.

So, just to be clear; mkx Kenshi did not have a reliable wake up option; you could always force his special moves to come out in the opposite direction by just timing a jump in when knock down (which is still possible and even worse since rising karma doesn't have armor anymore. so apart from possessed this continues to be a weakness. This is why his DF4xx has that hit box, I remember this being a topic of contention. It's just a get of me tool; just respect it and you'll be fine.

It can't be overstated how broken Kenshi was in MK9, he legit made some characters unable to play the game, they just can't get near him, and they can't zone him due to his projectile reflect, but he can zone them no problem. Even good characters like Kitana was helpless in that MU... Oh well, still love MK9. Good CH episode as usual. I'm casting my vote for Sub-Zero and Kitana, my favorite male and female characters in MK~

Great video. Lots of stuff missing for MKDA, MKD and MKA though. Also one air cancel per combo isn't shown properly in the video. You are guaranteed two 6 hit air strings without any air cancels by using MKA's built in air to ground rules (popups pop up after one 6 hit air string without any air cancels used and you can OTG a ground ender after the 2nd air string without any air cancels, Reiko gets 50% easily with the built in rules without air cancels). You're supposed to add one air cancel to either one of those strings. Since they scale, using it on the first 6 hit string nets you more damage. The rules were also at NEC11 and proven to be just fine the way they always were, shown in countless combo videos, during the MKA days. Whoever you consulted with clearly still has it out for me after 20 years lol. Hit me up sometime, man! Been a long time since i've heard from you.

Sub-Zero would be a good choice since he is in literally every game. My favorite character is also Johnny Cage so I'd love to see a video on him.
