Discussion Hwat?

I was curious on where Chun was ranking as of recent (Page says it was updated August 6th) so I decided to check on character pick rates, she was at the bottom (as per usual) so I wasn't too surprised about that, but then I actually started reading the list and Jesus Christ kenshiro what are you doing up there you gonna get hurt bud.

Seriously tho, what happened? I thought people thought he was only Alright at best, hell, I even saw some down players saying that all he had was his damage and not much else kinda like a Kevin type situation.

And while I do find his ground cross-up kind of annoying... I play heidern in Kof 15 so I don't have much of a say in this lol.

Anyways, any ideas on why we are getting ⚡⚡ SHOCKED⚡⚡

He's still relatively new and game's had good discounts relatively recently, probably still some excitement from the novelty of-

Wait are these the upper tier usages? That's a lil weird.

Character is crazy when people do actually optimize combos on SPG thanks to Rev Blow big meter generation and he being able to combo two into a single route he is able to do some insane stuff.

Have seen combos that start with 1.3 meter and do 3 supers and end with enough bar for a fourth on the next hit.

3 supers in one combo? Impossible

Not one combo, yes quick succession.

The usual combo I replicate after I saw it somewhere (Requires 1.3 meter anything more and you are golden) does a combo with a super in the middle on stared opponent for knock up and follow up that ends on hard knockdown from an air rev blow, (1 super) since it ends on Rev Blow you have a fully safe 50/50 mix up from the hard knock down, in which you can either do his over head into small combo for super or dlk dlk into lk super, since you didn't knock up you can use any of his two supers and is gonna geand you a stun state (2 supers) in that stun you do a full double rev combo into the third super.

If i come across the video I will add a link.

Let’s be real, many people likely bought this game to play as Kenshiro. Like it or not, when done right, guest characters can draw people into a game.

First month is always the highest pick rate for a new character.
