Shouldn't it be parryable by now?Originally Posted by dekot11 Go to original post
Even if it is, sweet Alpha Spin looks badass af, one of the most classy Kensei tricks
A bit offtopic, is it even considered as heavy? I haven't managed to finish my opponents with it, but from what I've seen at Alpha's old streams it never gave him any executions after finishing opponents... So in case if Alpha Spin is parryable, is it rewarded as a light attack parry or a heavy attack parry?

But back to topic. I bet there is like a small dedicated base of kensei players that have a awesome reaction time and know the game like theyr boots also they can read the opposing player like a book. These few players play every day. They will whoop your *** even when kensei is an utter **** class and you play with a warden against him because they know what they are doing. On the other side of the fence we got the console players who don't even know how to react to a simple helm splitter because 30fps or get confused by a swift strike. They also fall for every parry bait because they don't realise that blocking is enough against kensei. So these people are like kensei is OK or even OP.
My kryptonite is the raider but all my problems with Raider come from not beying able to parry his super slow heavy attacks. The timing just throws me off every time. Still, I think Raider needs a buff as well. I mean just look at his moveset or play him for a while.

Anyone suggesting that Kensei is fine or is overpowered has no idea what they are talking about, sorry.
He has hardly any stamina, hardly any health.
Yes, Kensei hits like a ****ing truck. 40 damage side heavies (as much as Raider), and the highest damage lights in the game (20). However, nobody gets hit by a Kensei if you play properly.
Range? Doesn't matter. Everything is easy as hell to parry, so you'll never get surprised by sudden ranged attacks.
Keep your guard in top, don't react to feints, CGB, and you will never lose to a Kensei ever.
If you lose to a Kensei, you got seriously outplayed and should rethink your strategy.
He's among the worst classes in the game, dare I say the worst, and you guys are asking for no buffs? If you are consistently losing to Kensei, you need to get better as a player. That's all I can say.
