In this video I hop straight into testing the *new* Kensei changes and I’m not gonna lie—I had to relearn some stuff on the fly. I haven’t played Kensei in a little minute, so I’m shaking off rust while figuring out what’s different (like where the armor actually is) and re-wiring my brain for the updated mix-ups. You’ll see me confirming what can be soft-feinted, trying to get comfortable with the new flow, and still clutching rounds even while I’m missing punishes and leaving damage on the table. A big part of this upload is me fighting solid players (including a rep 90 Nobushi) and reacting in real time when I mess up: wrong dodges, hesitation, and me straight up asking for help on the correct punish because I *know* there’s a beefy one. I also talk about how certain matchups feel when a character is insanely strong (I mention how brutal it feels fighting that kind of kit when you’re not mirroring it). Overall takeaway: the Kensei buff feels like a gamechanger, but you still gotta clean up your punishes, manage stamina, and actually commit to the reads—because good players will cook you if you’re late.
