    The Kensei vs Conq matchup

    Let's make this quick: does somebody know of an effective way to beat conq as kensei? I tryed various amounts of things and actually could do something but the dmg i got in was to low and it also took alot of risk to get it in, witch is why i'm asking you guys if there is an effective offense against him.

    btw: I dont just try the same thing over and over again i try to adapt while fighting

    Maybe when they actually nerf conq shield bash or at least the recovery frame then you MIGHT stand a chance. Conq is basically OP and they will likely do nothing about it anytime soon as they are concentrating on the expansion which will no doubt add something else that's OP into the mix.

    yes cry for conqu nerfs he didnt loose full block on 300ms or superior block on block.. but kensey sidedodge heavy attack is the killer atm they do nothing else sidedoge heavy .Nothing you can do about it just go out of the game or die … even rep 30 kensei tell me they have 0 Problems with conqueror

    You could always just use your insane mix up game to trick him so you can catch him off guard. Example.
    From top heavy you have 6 options
    Let it fly, Soft Feint into Side Light opener, side heavy opener, a dodge, a dodge attack, or an unblockable pommel strike.
    From a chained top heavy, you have 6 options
    Let it fly, soft feint into a chained side light, soft feint into a chained side heavy, soft feint into a dodge, soft feint into a dodge attack, or soft feint into guardbreak
    From a top heavy finisher, you have another 6 options
    Let it fly, soft feint into a side light finisher, soft feint into a side heavy finisher, soft feint into a dodge, soft feint into a dodge attack, or soft feint into guardbreak

    My dude, including the fact that you could always just hard feint a heavy for parry/gb bait, you have 400~ variable moves at your disposal. Kensei has literally the most adaptable offense in the game. Imagination is a weapon, and those who fail to use it die first.
