MK9 – Kenshi DLC Trailer

Months and months after the official announcement, we finally get to see Mortal Kombat 9′s Kenshi in-game. This character looks like he has amazing range and interesting special moves. Is anyone out there going to drop their main character to play as Kenshi?

  • iQuick

    Keanu Reeves in “The Blind Nigga Samurai.”

    Coming to a Theater Near You!

    • darth_nevermore

      how clever of you to say the n word.
      are you a twelve year old?

      • Grimbear13

        Normally I’d agree with you, but in this case its a direct quote from The Boodocks and a pretty accurate one. So in this case good sir iQuick is in the right.

      • Dude130

        The term Blind Nigga Samurai comes from The Boondocks thank you very much.

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cOOiDZ-Spk&feature=related

      • pooneega

        blind nigga samurai is a reference from boondocks… hilarious black cartoon. however i dont agree with the use either cuz they would never cast keanu reeves as a blind nigga samurai

        • pooneega

          wow yall beat me to it lol

          • b3nz0r

            Well, Kenshi looks like Keanu Reeves a bit at the start of the video, which is what I believe the OP was referring to.

      • Dragon Of The East

        How clever of you to get Emotionally offended by the N word OVER THE INTERNET. I’ve tried, I’ve tried to put myself in your position but can’t, especially when MUSIC, MOVIES & VIDEOS are much worst. Heres an advice for you, Host a Campaign and BAN our Freedom Of Speech. Good Luck.

        BTW: Are you a sixty year old?

        • akumous

          So that’s means if everyone is doing it you should do it too because the internet and the media says it is OK. Nigger, is still a highly offensive word and only ignorant racist fools, regardless of race, are happy to say it.

          • Big3D

            he did not say Nigger, he said Nigga… yes Nigger refers to an ignorant or moronic person. But Nigga is a term used to describe a person, either as a general “hey ‘man’” or as a term of endearment. Nigger was originally used to discriminate and berate a black man, but they have taken that word and made it their own, Nigga. I am called “Cracker” by most everyone I know, it started out as a joke because I was the only White boy in the group… but I took that named and made it my own, I even have it Badged onto the back of my car.

      • Spectaa

        What’s wrong with you?

    • darth_nevermore

      apparently what you said was a pop culture reference so i apologize.
      i just dont like that word.

      • mr. tibbs

        >>i just don’t like that word.

        Understandably so. It’s dangerous to use loaded words like, that regardless of what’s being referred to. It’s not your fault that you were unaware of that reference, and–even if you were aware of it–that doesn’t justify OP’s use of negative/offensive language. Words have power and authorial intention has no bearing on what is actually communicated. To anyone who doesn’t know the Boondocks reference, iQuick made a racist comment, and I’d just as soon see that kind of language disappear.

        • RageQuit420

          hahahaha you’re funny

        • Goatbot

          I think you need to listen to this song about a word that contains 6 harmless letters, a couple of Gs, an R and an E, an I and an N.

          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVN_0qvuhhw

          Easily the greatest song about prejudice and the power of words to ever exist.

        • Shadowfire

          In what way was the context in which he used that quote racist at all?

      • ahdonye

        dead nigger storage
        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihH_-O7ev2o
        rock and roll nigger
        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYIKnc4Lc2c
        a word is a word. If you are so weak that a word bothers you and can affect how you feel, you should consider post-birth abortion (kill yourself) because of your weakness. At the very least climb off your political correct soapbox and ignore people who use words incorrectly as slang.

        • xShonuffx

          That “Word” has blood on it. So African Americans such as myself are offended when that word is thrown around so much when most people who say it don’t even know where the word dirives from and im NOT talking about the webster dictionary either.

          I do get the pop culture reference but be very careful when using it on the internet because it does’nt translate well here where emotion is void.

        • ZenGaijin

          Its not about the word its about the history attached to the word. The same way you dont make light of Holocaust survivors history you should respect African Americans enough to not make light if someone is sensitive to the use of the word tied to a similar injustice.

        • Spectaa

          To think that “blind nigga samurai” is some racist shit, you must seriously be looking for easy offense.

        • darth_nevermore

          oh ok i should kill myself then,thats a logical and reasonable resolution to the problem………

          • Wu Fei

            lol for real tho. I didnt know about the boondocks ref…or forgot about it….and seein the comment didnt offend me at all. Usually a bruh or ese sayin it anyways. its when folks add the r and try to make shit racist that i start rollin my eyes.

            Kenshi looks mad kool.

      • KingofSarus

        Nigga, you mad?

    • Goatbot

      Dont you mean Keanu Reeves in “Zatoichi – The Blind Wigga Samurai”

    • DoomCanoe

      how in the fuck did a trailer about Kenshi turn into a thread about the word nigga?

      and first off he said NIGGA. that shit ain’t raciest.
      Second, who gives a fuck what this nigga says reference or not?

      • Wu Fei

        thank u my god lol.

    • Dragoomba

      All of you are fucking faggots. My fucking god.

      • darth_nevermore

        oh good,the homophobes are around aswell.how about you all get together and stark a group,or a klan as it where…

        • mr. tibbs

          :) I was wondering when homosexual slurs would show up. The Internet does strange things to people’s ability to think. It’s almost as if they don’t realize that, though they’re physically alone/among intimate company in front of their computers, they’re not alone or among intimate company when posting online. So racism, bigotry, and gay-bashing abound, but in a very public (albeit anonymous) sphere. And then they’re surprised or upset that other people have different views.

          • mr. tibbs

            I also have absolutely zero respect or tolerance for people who can’t or refuse to think critically enough about the world they live in in order to understand things like this. Words and the narrative(s) they create define your reality. You don’t have to like it or believe it, but it’s true. Sucks, I know. There’s nothing we can do about that.

            Every time a racist or homosexual slur or joke is repeated, it strengthens those respective institutions in culture. (Not to mention that every time you repeat one, you look like an ignorant moron.) You can call me an elitist, or overly PC, or whatever. I’m fine with those labels, if you really want to apply them, but you should also consider how you’re labelling yourself.

          • darth_nevermore

            i agree completely,but you always get bigots on any site,just look at youtube,3 comments in someone starts throwing racism around like its cool.

            and back on topic,kenshi does look very cool,although probably more technical than most mk characters.

          • Dragoomba

            No, I just am appalled at the fact that you fucktards are discussing stupid shit completely irrelevant to the video, all because somebody said a quote from the Boondocks.

            The funny thing is you are STILL going at it. Fucking retards. Sometimes I feel like the smartest person in the world.

      • darth_nevermore

        great so its the n word,faggots and retards now? anyone else? jews maybe? you are far,FAR from the smartest person on this site,you are an ignorant asshole,and if you read below what i said,i actually went back on topic about kenshi,but then you continued your little nazi tirade.

  • Action Kazimer

    Hooooly shit.

  • hagenNORKANOIA

    this char looks great and unique!
    gonna try him out

    • Krimson Cheshire

      I agree! Will definitely have to check him out.

  • STORMS
  • ChibiMana

    Yes! This is my favorite of the non-classic MK characters. I was hoping he wouldn’t be to similar to Ermac. He looks really unique and have a ton of moves. Next week!!

    • b3nz0r

      Lol, funny that you were saying you hope he won’t be similar to Ermac when the whole time I was watching this video all I could think is “wow, he’s kind of similar to Ermac.”

      That having been said, I agree, he looks really fun to play.

      • Dedemaru

        I believe he’s less similar than you think.

  • thejohnsonrock

    MK Staff should be proud of that character concept and execution. Kenshi makes DLC seem like a bonus or a hook up, even if you’re paying for it

  • tanabe

    today i was born april 1, 1935

    joking aside, he looks pretty sick.

  • hagenNORKANOIA

    @ #1 damn you are right! he looks exactly like Neo after he got blend in Matrix 3! ENTER THE MATRIX!!!!

  • Zmoney2006

    I think we have offically found the Kung Lao killer. Can’t hit what you can’t reach :-)

    • Iceman3026

      lol indeed, i hope rain is the raiden killer, but if he is rain will be god :/

    • Dedemaru

      If that’s true… all hail Kenshi. I’m so tired of seeing Kung Lao on streams.

  • GoddessBracelet

    looks viable

  • bipolar_shango

    Hot Stuff! Guess who’s gonna be the new online favourite..

  • AMUNRA10

    can’t tell if I wanna keep Noob as my main or through in Kenshi

  • OldSchool99

    Looks like a mix between Ermac, Quan Chi and Noob Saibot.

  • Shoryu Reppa

    God damn this character looks so sick

  • Ace 18991

    I’ll pick this game up now thanks to Kenshi

    • Dedemaru

      Good to hear another person hopping on board. I hope you enjoy it! :)

    I thought I was done with MK, but when I saw this guy I knew I was wrong.

    Ok, these comments just got fuckin dumb.. LOL

  • AkitaZero

    My goodness, that first fatality. Poor Cage.. any..

  • F0xhound009

    online ken… shi

  • xShonuffx

    Kenshin looks sick as hell. I need MONEY!!!!

  • FROG55JON

    Lol Scorpion is currently the Online Ken…

    • darth_nevermore

      its painfully funny because its true

      • Dedemaru

        Oh so true… though I don’t find it funny at all. I find it sad :(

  • Akumashadow

    Kenshi must hate Cage

  • Mr.BottledChi

    God Kenshi’s animations are so stiff. He’s standing straight up for practically every attack. MK animations are ass, i think kenshi looked better in the other mk’s

    • Travis Epic

      He is standing straight up because he is Blind and Meditating so that he can use his powers to fight for him…. He did similar things in the other MK games like, he was the only character not to turn his head towards the other character, he would stand straight up during special moves and only move his hands, etc

      • kush_parker

        thats sickkk

      • Mr.BottledChi

        if anything blindness should make him lower his center of gravity while fighting so he doesnt lose his balance, and he was only meditating in his specials, which i can understand, but he was still standing straight up when bouncing his opponent off the ground and swinging his sword around. I just want MK to look cooler..

        • Dedemaru

          Who cares how it looks when it plays so well?

  • Angrynord

    I was wondering when the hater was going to show up.

  • Louiscipher

    I think I’ll main him. Shit, if he can reflect projectiles and punish with X-Ray that alone would make him high-tier.

    • Dedemaru

      I thought the same thing the first time I saw NIghtwolf, yet I haven’t seen one Nightwolf online or at a tournament.

  • Robo-mitsu

    WOW! They really spiced up a fairly bland character. He looks so much better.

  • mrkareemruiz

    Damn Kenshi, Godlike!

  • d3nyd

    Holy shit, he looks TOO SICK. I may not main him but I’m definitely going to try him out.

  • RadRed

    Kenshi is who I’ve been waiting for.

    Amazing. Can’t wait.

  • Doc Strange

    Blind Donovan? I’ll take 5! But it does bother me that he’s looking at the opponent… on account of he’s blind and all.

  • DeathandGrim

    My God, those moves those fatalities (especially that first one)

    And Kenshi doesn’t look old as fuck (Thank you timeline)

  • xJayx

    july 5th hurry up!!

  • xJayx

    lol @ the ppl taking ”blind nigga samurai” so seriously

  • Monicker

    Anyone remember Donovan? All the new moves with the sword flying around really reminded me of him.

  • Jandek

    he looks really good both visually and strength wise

  • Shadowfire

    Holy crap. I was worried about them bringing in a character from the “dark ages” of MK, but I really love his design. He strikes me as way more likeable than Skarlet for that matter.

  • LAMG_

    kenshi´s fatality 2 on any female character: TeleBobies

  • Pingback: Gamercafe » Blog Archive » Mortal Kombat: Trailer del DLC de Kenshi

  • YanDaMan

    Dayum, Kenshi looks sick. His movesets looks amazing, almost like a mix of Noob Saibot and Ermac, with amazing range to boot. Can reflect fireballs and got one of his own.

    I’d be surprised if he isn’t a top tier character, if he’s even tournament legal.

    • Dedemaru

      He may not make EVO, but I’m sure he’ll be golden after that.

  • sibarraz

    well, I can’t think on any other good design from the dark ages of MK to make a comeback, unless they got a big re-design.

    Even though I’m still convinced that the 4° character will be tanya, the clues on the game are very obvious

    • mrkareemruiz

      I HOPE ITS TANYA BUT ITS A MAN !

    • Doc Strange

      I’m thinking it’s Reiko, he’s the only one I can think of who kind of fits the silhouette and already has a model in the game (in the pit) Kind of a bummer, I would have much rather had a really slicked out redeux of Frost with some of Sub’s moves from MKvDC.

      • Doc Strange

        Scratch that, after looking at the silhouette again it’s obviously “Fujin”, aka Dlcbasemale.

        • MilesRiey

          That silhouette doesn’t look anything like Fujin… and if this silhouette is supposed to be an “entirely” new character, why would they leave Fujin’s name unknown? They put his name as “????” so that doesn’t really make sense to me…
          I’m hoping it’s Jason!

          • Dedemaru

            The silhouette is DLCBaseMale. It’s not a real silhouette (at least the one I saw wasn’t). I think if they gave away the character’s outline, they’d give them away too.

  • skulltr0n

    this charactor looks cool as hell

    • Clear Sky

      He’s not DLC Basemale though.

  • GreenJester627

    Dude Kenshi looks AWESOME! Sword skills all out and his meditation/telekinesis looks much more interesting. Can’t wait. I just hope that when he comes out they patch some stuff up and give us alt costumes for these DLC characters or something, not to mention add them to the Nekropolis

    • darth_nevermore

      yeah i noticed that skarlet does’nt have a shrine in the nekropolis,which is lame if you main her.

      • Dedemaru

        Very lame. I don’t main her and I don’t think I’ll main Kenshi, but I still want stats from the character via an alter in Nekropolis. This and the lack of an alternate outfit for Skarlett really disappointed me. :(

        • darth_nevermore

          you think they could of given her a secondary costume,wouldnt of taken that long,considering she wears barely anything in her normal costume,

  • PANDEMlC

    He won’t be very popular if nobody can pick him because of all the people who don’t have the compatability packs.

  • Diernes

    I cant believe this thread turned into a racial argument. for fuck sakes. Who the fuck cares about the word nigger it long since cast off the shackles of it’s original meaning…

    • Mr.BottledChi

      original meaning? its original meaning is uneducated or something of the sort, i hope thats what you meant. Nigger does NOT mean black. thats negro.

      • Doc Strange

        Are you fucking stupid? Nigger is obviously a slur of negro. It originated because southerners talk like retards, nigger = negro, it just has a much more negative connotation.

    • Wu Fei

      just keep the R off it and u good dude. real talk. i lol when anyone says nigga who aint black. its just funny. but when the R is at the, it sounds horrible.

  • GunHammers

    Kenshi is banned.

  • Super Justin

    awesome kenshi is here

    lol at all the bitching because of a quote from a cartoon.

  • Wu Fei

    Kenshi looks some kind of ridiculous. I’ll be running him, kabal and smoke ^_^

  • Levaranoia

    Can’t wait to elbow dash you kenshi band-wagoners back to your scorpion mains.

  • sizzlinpapaya

    he def. looks pretty bad ass. i’m still getting the inner working of kitana and nightwolf and working on reptile but he definitely looks awesome.

  • fighting game fan

    kenshis way better than skarlett nice

  • truendymion

    Wow Kenshi looks awesome, Noob with combos. And a reflector too? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!

  • tyler2k

    Great character design, I’m very impressed

  • Taito

    i blame the fuckery in this thread on SFIV

    • Doc Strange

      Confirmed: first poster is Ono.

  • SpitfireUTLD

    i dont understand y everyone is bitching about what ole dude said up top?? first off that was an obvious racist comment he made because Kenshi doesn’t look shit like “Blind Nigga Samurai” and hes not a new character having made appearances in previous MKs (DA, Deception, Armageddon) and that was just some obvious method he used 2 “troll” as yall would say, the comments board…let that muthafucka b……but just know something….if hes a regular at tournies then handle his ass there…..parking lot ass beating b4 anybody can even make it in-doors…that calm down some of these faggot ass extreme fanboys from sayin out-the-way shit….

  • Doc Strange

    Just realized it doesn’t look like we’re getting a new stage this time. That’s kind of a bummer, but Daredevil-Donovan definitely looks cool enough on his own.

    Now I’m just wondering who we’re going to get after Rain. The silhouette doesn’t look like anyone I can think of, let alone would expect. Maybe Reiko? Wouldn’t be too bad if he was a sort of balanced version of Shao Khan, like the Urien to Khan’s Gill.

  • mrkareemruiz

    Fuck off racist! Dumb fucks

  • martessprak

    107 comments all because a guy made a reference to a television show. Nobody was able to settle it within the first 10. You’re all niggers IMO.

  • MilesRiey

    He looks as interesting as in MK Deception, looks like they’ve made some moves for his arsenal… I wonder if those clone attacks will be more visible in the final version, but that’s probably because of the quality of the video.

  • Dedemaru

    NetherRealms really transitioned him from the 3D to 2D plane very well. I’m excited to try him… though I’m still more excited for Rain. :x

    I just hope Skarlett and Kenshi are legal at EVO. I’d like to see some pro play from both of them. Unfortunately, I don’t think Rain has a chance in hell to make it to EVO.

  • The Big B

    Awesome, he looks like a must buy

  • d3f1anc3

    All of the DLC for this game is on point. Props to NRS.
