I havnt been keeping up to date with skarlett, I gave up because of how much NRS seemed to Neglect her. I've seen videos of her Alt in Nekropolis, but others were saying its not possible,the whole thing is just bull shit now and I dont even care anymore

I really hope they treat Kenshi/Rain like the other characters. With Alts and spots in Nekropolis.

Yeah, I'd be pretty pissed if they made those mistakes again. First time ever, fine. Not cool, but I'll live with it. Second time around, no excuses whatsoever.
 
Re: Kenshi Discussion * All Kenshi Related Topics Go Here

Not sure if it was posted but here's his bio from the official site's page for him,
"For years the swordsman Kenshi traveled the world in search of worthy opponents. When a mysterious elderly man named Song offered to show him the location of Sento, an ancient sword worthy of his abilities, Kenshisuccumbed to pride. He followed Song to a tomb wherein lay the Well of Souls. When Kenshi retrieved the sword, spirits of ancient warriors spewed forth, blinding him. Song then revealed himself to be Shang Tsung. He consumed thesouls, leaving Kenshi in the dark labyrinth to die. But Sento called to Kenshi. It led him out of the tomb and revealed his lost heritage as a descendant of the warriors who had been buried there. Kenshi vowed to slay Shang Tsung and free the souls of his ancestors."
Same old Kenshi, thankfully.

Hm, that's a good question for John Vogel about MK9's reboot of Mileena.

I'm super glad they didn't touch Kenshi's story at all. It was easily the best of the group that was introduced in Deadly Alliance.
 
Kenshi's Fatality Poster Revealed !

Here you go:

3330192421.png


His fatalities in MK9:
> Go Long: Kenshi telekinetically picks up the opponent. He gets out his sword and throws it further down the stage, with it landing on its tip. Then, Kenshi throws the opponent head first into the sword, slicing them vertically in half. (MK 2011)
> The Fourth Wall: Kenshi slams the opponent a few times on the camera, a final smash breaks the camera and the glass cuts the victim and kills them from blood loss. (MK 2011)

Damn, Tuesday can come fast enough! I've been playing MK Deception just to play with Kenshi and that game sucks balls.

Unlike Skarlet, I really want to be good with Kenshi. Hopefully, his combos will be easy to pull off. Funny thing is my main team is Ermac and Liu Kang, I kick ass with Liu Kang, but I don't like him. I've been tryring to replace him, but no success so far. Will Kenshi be the one?
 
Re: Kenshi Discussion * All Kenshi Related Topics Go Here

Well we can pretty much know what is his ending going to be...

"The death of Shao Kahn gave Kenshi the power of... blah blah, kills Shang Tsung"

It will be a good ending Im sure, and perhaps the power of Shao Kahn gives her sight back, why not? Though if is this I hope is not cannon, sorry Kenshi but you MUST remain blind, but if Shang comes back to life in a future game I hope Kenshi kills him, cannonly.

Have you seen the fatality in the video? is not like that, is one of teh best fatalities so far even so we didnt see it complete but is quite obvious is great.

Also if u see SZ's and Shang Tsung's fatality renders, they are not like the ingame fatalities.

Sub-Zero Fatality Render
Shang Tsung's Fatality Render



PS - The render is repost, but the fatalities names and info is new.

Well in the video they slide on their stomach like a Penguin towards the blade stuck in the ground.

Kenshi's fatalities are a little lacking like most other MK9 fatalities but both of his are pretty funny. :lol:

Is there a high-res version of this? I'd like to set it as my wallpaper.
 
Re: Kenshi's Fatality Poster Revealed !

Love the look of it. Enough with the cut points criticism though, anyone else know of a better way to kill with a sword????

Yes.

I think it would be cool if he sliced them like 10 times really quickly, and you saw red bloody lines where he cut. Then he sticks his sword into the ground then uses both of his hands to use telekinesis and moves his hands outward and makes their body rip apart into a bunch of chunks.

He could also have a full screen fatality. Kenshi would pull them towards with telekinesis then slice their legs off. Then he catches them in the air on the other side and pulls them back towards himself for a second go and he cuts their head off with the next pass. The head slice can be slow-mo as the sword is going through their neck.

Imo both of his fatalities are perfect. They're very smart and still bloody painful looking. Not to mention, just the way it's executed is brutal. The stance, speed, and sounds are all spot-on. See, this is how all the fatalities should be.

GOOD fatalities:
- Jax: the one where he pounds the guy into the ground then kicks off his head. Aside from the painful imagery of being pounded into the ground, what really makes it awesome is that it takes Jax a few kicks before he's succesfull. Rather than focuses on making the character doing the fatality look amazing, it makes the fatality itself look amazing! Bloody painful way to die, imo.
- Ermac: the one where he shrinks the guy and stomps on him. Sure, kinda reminds me of Duke Nukem too much, but it's alot better than just ripping off someone's arms or whatever... Also, gotta love that he scrapes his shoe on the ground to get the blood off, very nice touch. It's like saying "you're nothing but a bug to me".
- Quan Chi: ripping off a dude's arm and beating them to death with it is par for the course, but he keeps on wacking when they're already dead? That's pretty epic, especially when you note that he really looks mad enough to do it too.
- Baraka: picks them up with one claw, spins them around and holds the other one up to slice off the extremities as they twirl past. Again, original, funny, and still gruesome.

BAD fatalities:
- Jax: the one where he rips off their head, then rips off their arms. Now you're just showing off dude... He's dead, why rip off his arms? You got some weird urge to show you're better by ripping off their arms because the same was done to you? I'd get it if he was just pissed off, like Quan Chi in his fatality where he keeps pounding the dead guy with his own arm, but no. Jax just stands there grinning his dumb grin holding up two arms like they're prizes or something. Not to mention, ripping off extremeties is pretty much the norm as far as fatalities go. No originality here.
- Johnny Cage: uppercuts the fools head off and catches it. It's the most basic fatality ever. I can give this one a pass since it's a classic MK1 fatality, but it is certainly an example of how simplistic over half of the fatalities are in this game.

If, and more than likely when, Shang Tsung does come back then I think it'd be cool for Kenshi to filet him right proper. Shake up the order of MK and kill Tsung. I like him as a character, but that doesn't mean they should be so sacred as to avoid all real changes. Kenshi could kill him, releasing a number of the souls he's taken. However, being souls so closely associated with Shang Tsung those souls could easily be tainted to varying degrees. It could lead Kenshi on a quest to destroy the tainted souls, slaying them with the sword which would slowly absorb the taint. It would be a terrible weight on Kenshi and would make for a badass story.

How would killing Shao Kahn give him power?

Everyone gains power when beats Shao Kahn, didnt you watch the endings?

Is manifestated with that green glow in their hands when they beat Kahn.

I've seen all of the endings, and only a few of them actually gain power from defeating Shao Kahn (Mileena, Skarlet, Shang Tsung, Goro to an extent, Nightwolf to an extent). Others gain influence (Sindel, Reptile, Kitana, Baraka). The rest don't really gain anything (Sonya, Stryker, Kung Lao, Jade, Kitana, Smoke, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang was only made a god after defeating Raiden, but he didn't gain power directly from beating Kahn, Johnny Cage defeating Shao Kahn only realized his already formidable strength, Quan Chi enhanced Noob's power to defeat Kahn, but he didn't gain power defeating Kahn himself). Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not sure the green glow on the victor's arms means much, it could be just something aesthetically that represents your chosen fighter beating Kahn.

I'm glad that NRS is converting these 3D MK era (Quan Chi and Kenshi) so good for 2D MK 2011, they look incredible fantastic in new update incarnations.

Thats right my two all time favorites in a 2D fighting plane, I never thought it would happen.
I'm starting to think Kenshi almost fits the 2D style naturally, I'm very impressed :)
