For Kensei to win, you have to be 2x as skilled as your opponent

[@ciki6v2]

hey bro, i’m loving the content, especially these kensei videos, as a rep 70 xbox and soon to be rep 70 pc kensei main, i love seeing him played in some high elo duels, keep up the amazing content❤️

[@user45414]

Thanks for the content! You actually became a reason for me to start playing For Honor It's so difficult to play for a new player, but your black prior inspired me to play exactly him. It's good to watch the videos to see the moves you do so even me with only 30 hours in it doesn't feel that uncomfortable against high level players, especially playing beloved black prior:)

[@kevinyuuta9557]

Kensei on high lvl is very tough most times

[@robinrademacher7984]

Man Kensei at this level is hard

[@dabblerbrawler]

can someone explain why? cuz I'm checking framedata, it's almost identical on any character

[@JigsHidalgoMusic]

very weak offensive pressure compared to the rest of the roster

[@Beanpolr]

​@@dabblerbrawlerIt's not about the framedata, it's about the offensive pressure. Kensei is very easy to react to at a high level.

[@TheRealLMB]

almost at 10k man, that’ll be huge

[@patches7724]

I'm just amazed you were able to stay awake while fighting this guy. One round with him and I'd be fuckin' snoozin' better than I would with melatonin.

[@benniebees]

7:25 The dodge forward heavy catches most ppl who try to parry the dodge light. Which someone that plays optimally doesn't do cause the light isn't enhanced so there's no need. You can also use the heavy to challenge a read guardbreak.

[@WithOneS]

Yeah but being able to delay it that much is unnecessary. 😂

[@Ayce_nothome]

I'm curious on who your favorite character is.

[@ThomasOdelll]

Pretty sure it was lawbringer before the patch. But now if I had to guess, I would say it’s Warmonger.

[@Ayce_nothome]

@Dinzellthomas My 1st guess was Warden, but if it's Warmonger, that would make me happy as a Warmonger main.

[@desultorily2445]

He likes nobu too

[@VDxVicious]

He’s said a few times he dislikes warmonger because she has to throw a light to get into her chain mix

[@Dave_Cigar]

@@ThomasOdelll i think its highlander

[@archangeluriel4922]

YESSSSS... MORE KENSEI 🥺❤️

[@iHopeslast]

Hello, new viewer here! Can you give more info on frame advantage, neutrals, etc. in the next video? Doesn't need to be a tutorial, but I want to understand some of the terminology you use during the video. If not, I appreciate the videos regardless. Thank you! :)

[@atynniehawke9341]

5:30 against BP yous should almost ALWAYS do side heavy openers, beat flip 90% of the times, and side empty dodge, many times even the dodge attacks

[@seansantos21]

I guess im that 10% (I main glad).

[@ILoveBooser]

Thank you S! Youre the best!

[@Outlawlife-rr3he]

Was hoping you would play kensei. Thank you!!!!

[@dio8139]

love the vids man keep it up. maybe some hito some point next week?

[@ThatsTuff888]

Kensei buff ideas : he doesn’t need all of these but just some too boost him up in todays Meta! - [ ] Enhanced helm splitter - [ ] Undodgeable or enhanced soft feint lights - [ ] HA on natures wrath or speed it up - [ ] Confirmed natures wrath if dodged into top attacks - [ ] Side superior block guarantees either a Gb or dodge attack - [ ] Lower stamina cost on zone & soft feints - [ ] Increased running speed - [ ] Bash could use changes - [ ] HA on unblockable - [ ] Bring his old superior block timing back - [ ] Chain from sprinting attack

[@StiffBrainz]

Ausage, what’s the plan for the big 10 thousand! Congrats man you absolutely deserve it. Especially making me wait 69 days for you to play raiders 😞

[@Jondaliner]

Rippy is a top comp player if im not mistaken.

He is and he's parring off animation

[@martinaccorsi927]

Can someone explain what does “frame advantage” means? Ty

[@MkRodrigues.]

I would like to know too

[@muhtadiazmy3053]

its mean u can have faster attack animation than ur enemies. for example ur posture recover earlier than enemy when they try to gb and u counter gb, therefore u can attack a bit faster than ur enemy since the enemy is still stuck on the animation of counter gb

[@Me-il8og]

I think it’s funny how you’re so sweaty but complain about other sweaty people

[@ThatsTuff888]

Kensei needs a buff

[@kingd3528]

Could you do shaman next video? I know she’s a S tier but it’s been a while since you played her

[@samainord]

Hey man got a question, I see you do the soft feint light really often compared to the heavy and I wonder why? Always felt like the heavy is more safe since you can feint it, if the opponent go for a light parry you get a free heavy and if he go for a dodge on the unlockable you're r pretty much guaranteed to hit him That's how I think but i ain't at your level so I'm just curious if I'm in the wrong! Nice vid :)

[@WithOneS]

If they dodge the UB they’ll be able to block unless they dodge attack, the light catches dodge attacks too, so a higher success rate. Plus, if they start parrying it, now I have more mix I can employ!

[@samainord]

@@WithOneS thanks for answering :)

[@schm1tyy]

Sweet

[@stephencastrosc1]

I hate how they nerfed him down like that.. I used to main kensei and even tho he’s not the fastest his damage was ridiculous which made up for it. His side heavy’s used to be 31.. they nerfed it to 29.. now it’s at 25? Cmon

[@danser_theplayer01]

Why don't you throw? The moveset says throws guarantee heavy and give blindness.

[@ezhno7137]

The first game is the type of people you should be fighting exclusively tbh. I wonder if you're aware that the way you feel about fighting this guy is most likely the same way lower skill players feel fighting you.

[@WithOneS]

I fight RealYX all the time, he’s actually better than this guy, don’t feel that way with him at all. It’s exclusively a playstyle thing, not a skill thing.

[@pxrposewithnopurpose5801]

the fact that guy still had lower skill than him

[@forkfelon]

could you play some tiandi?

[@donsimons9810]

I wonder if gamblers prefer kensei

[@mcchillin7580]

Hey man where do you think havok with warden stands? One of the best in game?

[@WithOneS]

Warden is insane no matter who plays him, but Havok in general is definitely well above average! Very solid and anyone, even the best of the best should fear his Warden.

[@mcchillin7580]

@@WithOneS w take🙏 cheers mate also very impressive Gameplay with Kensei considering how sup par he is at top level. I’ve never seen a black prior play so safely.

[@mcchillin7580]

@@WithOneS also I’m glad that you express warden in the way that you do. So many people and for honor content creators make comments on how he’s not that good. When you tell it I’m able to trust is considering I think you’re the most gifted duels player I’ve seen on KZbin. Also makes me wonder if you’ll ever do some 4v4 modes? Maybe some dom games? It’d be cool to see some possible anti ganks.

[@nuxe7598]

Rippy is a comp player

[@Forcas115]

how come you're so low rep on every hero? You obviously played kensei more than the rep 3 equivalent of games.

[@WithOneS]

I actually have played on console for 41 reps total, I’m also rep 3 on him on console. So actually rep 6 overall. Other than that, just low xp due to duels only!

[@x_jojo-t1122]

deflect with kensei gives you a gb (not just dodge forward) similar to zerk but not instant gb

[@WithOneS]

Since when? Side dodge doesn’t give GB guaranteed I thought? Only top does?

[@kridshow670]

Yeah only top once@@WithOneS

[@kridshow670]

Kensei is my main, got to tell you, u could get a lot more wall splats than you think, like hier 3:13, 6:12, 12:06, and you underestimate a bit the range of his attacks, try to play training match and see how long he can reach, also the viable stategy is to start the chain from far, and like the lights will be harder to ract to, and if the oponent want to close the distance you can do plam strike, it has also good raech. He needs a buff tho), well played by the way) @@WithOneS

[@Beanpolr]

As they've said, it's not confirmed on side dodges. The only time you might get one on a side dodge is if you do it on a zone. Because they aren't interrupted on superior block you could possibly get a gb during the rest of the zone if it's multi hit or more likely you could catch a chain/finisher heavy follow up. Long story short, no reason to do it on side dodge, ever.

[@x_jojo-t1122]

@@WithOneS For a while unless it was patched out when I tried getting into crew stuff on For Honor I was still learning the game guy showed me he could deflect sides with kensei and get gb he was doing a deflect at the last second tho he could’ve been doing a tech the animation looked a little weird

[@samu91_rulez63]

Most of GM thinks they're strong with crutch characters and using easy tool. GM didn't mean skill

[@vemci]

play some pirate plzzz? 😁🙏🏼

[@idoomi6714]

Cant you counter backstep lights with heavies ?

[@WithOneS]

not really, he can flip the heavy or if he reads a feint into GB he can UB. Just a massive mixup potential for him if I attempt to punish.

[@idoomi6714]

@@WithOneS oh yes vs bp but afeera maybe

[@WithOneS]

@@idoomi6714 still not really, she can recovery cancel into another kick if you heavy, and she has chain CCs, or if I feint to GB she can just let a chain kick fly, same scenario.

@@WithOneS damn didnt thinl abou that tbh. That hero is insane if you stare at people with her

[@matthewstegeman7]

Big 20 of asking you to humble nova

[@legionprime7715]

Nova’s fine. People just don’t like the fact he plays “dirty” even though it’s literally Deathmatch. I like One S, but there’s times he complains a little too much as opposed to accepting a good read/reaction.

[@WithOneS]

@@legionprime7715 I often won't complain on a good read/reaction. I'll be surprised, sometimes, but not complain. I do in fact complain about weird stuff that happens in the game, mechanics that didn't work how they should, or free hits of just pure luck, or even extremely optimal boring playstyles. But the way I see it, my channel, and I'll voice my opinion so the comment "too much" is impossible to achieve on my channel. I understand your perspective though and if you'd rather not watch because of it i'd completely understand.

Lol then don’t watch 🙃

[@xavierlucky397]

​@@patches7724 Annoyed? Maybe, would I have made unnecessarily hostile comments and uploaded a video about it with and implied the guy might be scripting when nothing good to indicate it? No. That's the definition of being toxic, the elitism in this game is one of the biggest things that turns people away from it. One of the reasons why its much smaller a community than it should be.
