You're actaully kinda right. He always had them but he just didn't know how to active them. Ermac helped him figure that out with that and helped him out with sensing other people and objects around him.

So if we were to have him now, I don't think he would have his telekinesis in this game.

I love the route they're going with showing off his skill with a sword, but it would be cool to see him display some minimalistic abilities. Not completely latent, but not full-steam ahead. Maybe give him a defensive teleport (would compensate for his potential lack of projectiles) or his Tele-fury (correct me if that's the wrong name, I can't remember), but no more than maybe one move since it's doubtful he's met Ermac yet. Just my opinion on the matter though...

Kenshi is fantastic, his speed and his advantage with the sword on a 2D plane is going to make him a fan favorite in no time. My only trepidation is his costume, I hope they lean towards the classic samurai and not the senseless futuristic ninja.

Yeah, he's already one of the most popular post-MK3 characters and I can see him becoming even more popular after his release for this game. I really can't wait.

I like this idea.

I could also see NRS completely changing his story in the alternate timeline, so none of the previous games' history would matter. Look at what they did with Mileena and Kitana for example
 
Kenshi's MK9 look leaked?!

This is from the magazine leaked DLC characters a while ago... Would you like this to be the final look for Kenshi?

Lol I couldn't care less about fashion (I dress in black band shirts and ratty jeans everyday and my shoes are a mess), but I just know that I think that hair looks dumb as hell. Though I do see the irony, a crazy-intense fighting game all about bloodshed and carnage played by testosterone-fueled men and some consistent complaints are hair-based. Amusing lol.

Looks like a cyborg I dont like the outfit that much, on contraire of what everyone said, I think the best touch is his hair, why? because it makes him look younger, 3D games Kenshi looked really old...

PS - Why is one of his fingers uncovered??

It'd be cool to see a younger Kenshi, but I'd rather they do it a different way. I understand that the more cyber look could be quite polarizing, but they may end up giving him a more traditional, down-to-earth alternate, if that picture does indeed represent a final product.

PS - I've seen that style before, but I've never really seen a reason past aesthetic lol.
 
Re: Kenshi Discussion * All Kenshi Related Topics Go Here

First thing I was thinking about when using Zatoichi as my username for TRMK & MKU was the fact that I'll being whoring Kenshi out as soon as he comes out. Hope his gamesplay revolves around rushdown & swordplay.
 
Re: Kenshi Discussion * All Kenshi Related Topics Go Here

I was hoping for a more traditional look for him, maybe something paying homage to his samurai ancestry similar to some concepts we saw a while back. Don't get me wrong, I love Kenshi, but the modern technological costume never quite made sense to me. Needless to say, I'm most excited about him and Rain as DLC.
 
Re: Kenshi Discussion * All Kenshi Related Topics Go Here

He should have grayish hair in his alt. and a beard not enough of those in MK
 
Re: Kenshi Discussion * All Kenshi Related Topics Go Here

WHAT?!?!?! i thought i started this thread? why did someone else take it over?
 
Re: Kenshi Discussion * All Kenshi Related Topics Go Here

It probably got fused with other Kenshi threads so that it is easier to find every discussion about him.
 
Re: Kenshi Discussion * All Kenshi Related Topics Go Here

Doubt it would ever happen, but what if he had a projectile counter instead of his own projectile? He wouldn't be the only one.

His alternate costume could very well be a more traditional look. I'm hoping to see something more fitting of a traditional swordsman as well. I like the fancier shiny look lol, but having both would be really cool to switch between.

I started another Kenshi thread awhile back and a mod decided to fuse all the Kenshi threads together and since mine was the first made my name stuck.

I'm hoping he doesn't have a true projectile as well. Tele-Fury or Mind Warp, maybe, something to keep him from being so easy to zone-out but nothing too heavily telekinetic. It should be a compliment to his crazy sword-skills, I think.
 
Re: Kenshi Discussion * All Kenshi Related Topics Go Here

I think something like telekinetic powers can b considered something anyone can access to. Meaning in this case that Kenshi could have always shown signs of telekinetic power and that this Ermac is more responsible for shedding light on it to Kenshi than bestowing the power unto him. I think its likely that if he's put directly in the story, it would more likely than not be before meeting Ermac. But I do feel its highly plausible that his encounter with Shang Tsung has already taken place, and if he's blind in the game that could support the idea of retaining telekinetic long-range moves but not having them be such a focal point. I like the idea of seeing where Kenshi is at while this all went down, but I think if they stray TOO far from how we know him that the character could b a big disappointment.

Brilliant. Just brilliant. His design is fantastic.

I don't know why people are against the hair. I think it's sexy. We need more sexy menz.

And I hope they keep the slimmer look. The big manosaurs are obnoxious.
