KOF' 2001 Sie Kensou
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes from kof'2000 to kof'2001
1. He got his Psychic Powers back!
2. His qcb + P is now his Psycho Ball attack and not the flying punch
3. He got his Heavenly Blast back (qcf X 2 + P) which replaced his
previous multiple hitting DM
4. His Divine Dragon Kicks (qcf, hcb + K) DM must be blocked standing for
the 2nd part as it is an over-head.
5. Like all characters, he can super cancel special.
[see below for his cancel enabled special]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Impression
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goodness, he can be very cheap if you want to. Unfortunately, there is
nothing special about him. He is the way he is in kof'98. It's like one
step forward and another step back.
Funny, he stopped using his Kung Fu after gaining his Psychic Power Back.
Let's see if he is the strongest character in kof'2002 since he has the all
powerful "Dragon Spirit".

Team Ending
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
??? : 'Can you do it?'
??? : 'Yes. I believe so...'
<They found themsleves on a cliff overlooking the ocean where the spaceship crashed
after being rescued>
Kensou : 'Hey! Everyone OK?'
Athena : 'Yeah, we're all right.'
Kensou : 'Whew! What a tough fight. Glad we're okay.'
Athena : 'Hey! I thought Bao transferred his power to Kensou. But Kensou doesn't
seem any different...'
Chin : 'Hmmm... surely a flow of power must've taken place.'
Kensou : 'Yeah, it's gradual. But I sense new power.'
Bao : 'No, no. I didn't transfer my power to brother Kensou. He absorbed my power.
What courses in his veins... is the Dragon's Spirit...'
<Ron is standing on a cliff, with the lady in white who was beside the old man in the
spaceship>
Ron : 'Hard to believe such a massive spirit still exists. Compared to the Dragon
Spirit, NEST's power is nothing.'
'If the Dragon Spirit is truly awakened...'
'Heh, heh, heh...'
