3.History of Kenshiro
================
Kenshiro is the main character from Hokuto no Ken ( Fist of the North Star ).
He uses the ancient martial art style of Hokuto Shinken. Which can kill
anyone or heal anyone with a mere touch. He was born in Japan and was named
after his brother. Him and his 3 adopted brothers trained besides each other,
in order to become the new master of the Hokuto Shinken. This will cause some
trouble between them. Since only one can be the new master of the Hokuto Shinken
He then decided to try to start a new life. On his journey he meets his old
friend Shin and gets the 7 Scars that he carrys.
================
4.Why Kenshiro?
================
Kenshiro in my opinion is one of the best close-ranged fighter in the game.
He is also strong and quick.
He can combo easily and has one of the best specials in the game.
Also, his 4 koma unlike most others is one of his best versions.
In some stages with the breakable floors his special attacks and Y attack
can send enemies straight through which is a good method to K.O anyone.
================

Info: If Kenshiro is hit he will make afterimages of himself then it
will inflict massive damage as well as giving Kenshiro invinciblity
for a short time.
Overall: Counters are really good in this game and Kenshiro's is one
of the best.
Kenshiro's combos with a good support koma such as 2 Koma Shishio
( Rurouni Kenshin ), 3 Koma Hitsugaya ( Bleach ), etc can be very deadly
since he has the abilty to juggle his opponent which prevents them from
using support komas except the ones useable in the air.
Ok to start off here is a good combo requiring at least 1 SP gauge.
COMBO #1
--------
First off do a up+b this will send your opponent in the air, right after
the up+b do a up+y and keep on pressing it for more hits. During the hits
of the up+y BEFORE the attack finishes do any of his special that has a big
hit box or something that will at least connect. Here are the recommended
specials for each battle koma.
4 Koma: Special Attack A - This special with combo #1 is really good it will
almost always hit them and it has some nice damage. Also you can use Kenshiro's
Special Attack B first then do the combo for more damage. Overall this koma
is good for combo #1.
5 Koma: Special Attack A & B - For this koma Kenshiro can use either special
attacks to end the combo with since his Special A is similar to his 4 Koma
Special A. His Special B also works well since it comes out really fast and
has a huge hitbox.
6 Koma: Special Attack B - For this koma only his special attack b is useful
since his special attack A has a slow start up time. Whats good about this
specialis that it causes damage and will cast judgement after it hits.
7 Koma: Special Attack A - This koma has some difficulty in it since his
Special attack A is the only one that can end the combo with and has a
somewhat slow start up time. To fix this, when doing his up+y do not go for
the extra hits, just tap up+y then use his Special attack A.
8 Koma: Special Attack A - Like his 7 koma, Kenshiro's 8 koma has some
difficulty due to the huge start up time. Just like his 7 koma do not go for
the extra hits for his up+y and then instantly do his special attack a.
Overall: For this combo the best komas to use is his 4 and 5 since they can
combo really easy with their specials.
Advanced ( Only for 4,5,6 koma ): To make this combo really deadly is to use a
good support such as Trunks, Seiya Shishio, Hitsugaya, etc. During the combo,
summon your support DURING the part where you are hitting them with your
special. The best support in my opinion is Hitsugaya since freezing them will
make them unable to move and you can just repeat the combo again.
COMBO #2
--------
This combo is way more easier then the previous one. Ok start off with either
doing a b to a up+b or just his up+b. After that, quickly do a neutral Y to
shoot off your blue aura, this will count as a hit. Right after do Kenshiro's
Forward+y and repeatly press it to do his kicks. This combo will do a fairly
decent amount of damage and also like combo#1 you can use your supports to
increase the damage. Unlike combo#1 this can be used with any Kenshiro.
Overall: This combo is simple and can rack up damage a lot so try using it
often.
COMBO #3
--------
This combo like combo#2 is really easy. Start of with a neutral+b then quickly
do a forward+b. Kenshiro will perform 2 quick punches and after that do his
forward+y kicks to finish it off.
Overall: This combo like combo#2 is really easy but use combo#2 over this one.
Advanced ( Only for 4 koma ): Instead of finishing off with his forward+y kicks
do his Special Attack A for more damage.
Advanced ( Only for 5 koma ): Instead of finishing off with his forward+y kicks
do his Special Attack B since its really quick and can hit multiple targets.
--------
There are probably more combos but these to me are his best ones since its
damage output is really good. Remember all his combos can be extended
with the right supports.
Here are the recommendations.
2 Koma Shishio ( Rurouni Kenshin ): Since Shishio comes out really fast this
is a good support. But whats more impressive is that when Shishio grabs his
opponent he raises them up first which gives you a quick time to get in more
extra hits.
3 Koma Trunks ( Dragonball Z ): Yes, Yes we all know how cheap he can be
but its for comboing. Comes out quick, great damage, really hard to counter
and aerial.
3 Koma Seiya ( Saint Seiya ): Same as Trunks really cheap but for comboing.
Comes out quick, great damage, really hard to counter and aerial.
3 Koma Hitsugaya ( Bleach ): In my opinion Kenshiro's best support.
Limited start-up time and able to freeze them to repeat combo.
2 Koma Aya ( Ichigo 100% ): Only use this if you think there are going to
be a problem with aerial support Komas since it will seal them.
2 Koma Satsuki ( Ichigo 100% ) or 2 Koma Seiya ( Saint Seiya ):
Healing is good although health really isn't a big issue with Kenshiro
its always good to be on the safe side.
Any koma with a limited start-up time that can either freeze or stun them
is good support for Kenshiro. As well as anything that can seal support koma
is good as well
--------
Overall+Strategy: For Kenshiro there is no best Koma as each version has
its own greatness and flaws. So choose which Koma is best suited for you.
For Kenshiro being on the offense is good but he can play good defense
as well. He has good keep away attacks so it should be easy to keep your
opponent away from him. For his support I would use his 3 Koma since it
comes out fast and inflicts decent damage. Kenshiro is best teamed with
a long-range character since he is all close-range. It is also to note
that when using Kenshiro's neutral Y his Forward Y and Up Y will dish
out more hits. Will update as soon as possible
Hope you enjoyed my faq.
