    Kensei Movelist description

    I just recently found out that I can cancel the top heavy unblockable finisher into a swift strike. This should be added into the description.
    As it is now, the description reads:

    Top Heavy Finisher Cancel

    Top Heavy Finisher Startup can be canceled by:
    A Side Light Attack or
    A Side Heavy Attack for an Uninterruptible Side Heavy Finisher.

    It should be added that a swift strike is also possible. I am at rep 27 and never saw that before, so it might fly over quite a few heads that this is possible.

    Hey! Are you the guy that was in that game with me who asked if there had been a patch recently? :P
    Either that or it's a funny coincidence this should appear pretty soon after, haha.

    You can soft feint it into Grasping Pounce and Helm Splitter aswell. Just FYI
    Or into backdash for baiting purposes.

    Duskmare, yeah that's very likely, i posted this literally after that match where I first discovered and asked about this.

    Kitsune, yeah I figured that out as well, basically, the unblockable chains into every other move or final move of a chain Kensei has. I did not know about the backdash though, doesn't sound too useful.
