One of the most popular characters in MK1 is no doubt Kenshi. A handsome male figure, who can summon his ancestor in a fight. This summoning thing is quite rare and not found in any other character as well, but this is also the same thing that makes him difficult. To help you grasp the concept, we have all the Mortal Kombat 1 (MK1) Kenshi Combos listed below.
After the release of Mortal Kombat 11 (MK11), the gurus at NetherRealm Studios, and Warner Bros (WB), went ahead and renamed their next game in the franchise Mortal Kombat 1 (MK1). At this point, everyone either started from the beginning or went ahead and missed a digit. Why not NetherRealm?
Following the previous franchise base and style, Mortal Kombat 1, is referred to as a fresh start, but with the same set of rules. That same brutal fatality mechanism, on top of those saught-after characters, but with ever-flourishing graphics, and story-line.
Everything is perfect here in the franchise. The game doesn’t force you to have various microtransactions to unlock your favorite fighter, nor get those crisp cosmetics. You’re bound to love this one too here.
All in all, it’s a treat for players who are looking for the same Mortal Kombat Universe, but with a 2023 touch.
Unlike the other characters in the game, Kenshi is two. Meaning one is the Kenshi himself and the other one is Sento, his summoning. Use down, back, and 1 to call Sento in combat. Then, you will have two characters at once.
Then, you can effortlessly see that Kenshi takes a different stance, as well as his Sento. The attacks he is going to use are changing with the stance he takes here. To extend the time, you can press down, back, and 2.
