Devs do not buff kensi please | Forums

I'll be honest and I'm not trying to insult you but that is the dumbest thing I've read on this board, easily.

What's a weakness of raider? Slow lights and bad GB punish is the only thing I can think. From day 1 Reddit did nothing but push this stupid "raider is bad" meme when he was perfectly balanced before is, at worst, above average now.

what class do you play? yes he has range....but even his lights are easily parried. if you struggle with them, learn to parry. his unblockable is sooo easy to parry it is suicide to throw out against an even average player.

sure if you stand around and wait for a parry, and if he don't feint at all, and if you aren't already fighting someone else.

Slow lights, slow guard change, no openers, his heavy soft feint stunning tap mixup can only go far, quick to run oos. Who is he better than aside from kensei, zerk, and arguably nobu?

Kensei is not only one of the 2 worst characters but he is also one of worst characters to have in a 2v1 lol. If you can't external parry his unblockable reliably then you aren't at a high enough skill level to be discussing balance.

All he can do is feint into top light that is the only thing he can do that is decently fast. You can literally just not even bother risking a parry and hold your block top and react to everything else and he should never touch you.

...to be fair he also has that unlock tech that you whiff a hit.

You need to fight a decent Kensei then.

That's not unlock tech dude.

That's just starting a chain early as a gap closer.

orochi
all you have is top light and zone
side lights are slow. heavies are slow. attack chains are slow.
moves super telegraphed
have to deal with reflex guard.
low hp.
no openers. no unblockables.
bad GB range. bad throw range

I have admitted multiple times that Kensei is my Krytonite and no matter what happens I almost ALWAYS lose to them and even I admit the Kensei needs some love. He is thoroughly average compared to pretty much any other class besides the Conqueror and thats just because the Conqueror was nerfed into the ground by the Devs is still waiting to be fixed.
