Kensei's superior block on dodge is not mentioned anywhere in the moveset | Forums

[MemoireStar]

When I first read about it in the patchnotes a month a go I thought they must have messed up the class name because I never knew Kensei had a superior block. Carried on and forgot about it.

Now today I remembered and decided to do some research only to find out that he actually has a superior block.

How is anyone supposed to know of this when it's mentioned nowhere in his moveset? I think it should be put in there.

His superior block is OP as hell. The Kensai has to be the most pampered character in the game.
A. His feat tree allows him to have quick stamina recovery+long bow+unguardbreakable+unblockable
B. His guardbreak throw stuns you and is chainable into either an uninterruptible or unblockable.
C. His light attacks are as fast if not faster than an orochi's.
D. He has the strafe capabilities of an assassin, and I actually find his strafe attack to carry him further than the assassins, and the attack chains into either an uninterruptible or unblockable
E. He is the only shieldless character with a superior block when he strafes, and it blocks/deflects attacks from all directions, meaning he is the only character in the game who has a moving superior block (conqueror, warlord, and Valkyrie have to be standing completely still), making him superior to heavies/hybrids/assassins with superior block or strafe deflect.
G. His weapon has some of the greatest reach potential compared to every other character except maybe the Nobushi.

The only real downfall to the Kensai is that his side-lights are a easier to see coming and block than most other characters, so if you can shut down his top lights all you really have to worry about are chain heavies if you aren't capable of parries.

That feel when someone only reads the title of your post with four lines and then completely misses the point .. :/

Lol, no I understood your point. What you were getting at is that they fail to mention the superior block in his moveset at all. I get that. I just figured I'd take the opportunity to bash on the Kensai :P. The Kensai's superior block isn't the only thing failed to be mentioned in the moveset or "hero specific" listings. Many characters are missing detailed information on their movesets and capabilities, with the most frequent being a "what they do but not how" scenario. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it's the reality of the game as it stands.

Im a Kensei main Rep 5 and I can say Its not OP at all, because its very difficult to initiate. You have to match your stance with enemy attack to initiate this. Its the same with blocking but with dash and with dash I mean... When your opponent attack then you switch stance and then dash??? I dont think so.. Its too late already. The best way if you can predict your opponent move and it is OP if you are a telepath... LOL

Worts aoe in game , gb range is the worst in game, 4v4 it is just gank anyway so of no inbterest, no good conter moves and his block can turn enemys too far away for the asured gb.
Sry but play duels as one then come again

I did not intend this to be a discussion about the state of Kensei.
I want a mistake fixed where his superior block doesn't show in his moveset, which should be listing every move for every character. It's already hard enough for new players to learn the game, atleast enable them to know the movesets.
