Combo Theory

When playing as Kenshin you want to end your combos with moves that inflict freeze status (those being 236C~B and 214C). Freeze status makes all of the opponents moves have significantly more startup and thus make it easier to land your counters where then you can do his infinite (amusing that proximity block doesn't screw you over).

BNB'S

5A/2A > 2C > 214C

Basic combo from jabs that works on everyone. Gives knockdown and freeze status.

5B > 236C~A

Works on everyone. Can do 236C~B up close except crouching OIC and MAE and the cancel window is tighter.

5C > 236C~B

Works on everyone except crouching OIC and MAE. Do 236C~A instead.

CH 5C > 214C > IAD DL j.C > ▷ DL 5C > 236C~B

Your best whiff punish combo. Works on everyone albeit is somewhat inconsistent and harder against HAM.

2B > JC j.A > j.C > j.623B

Main anti air combo.

j.C > j.623B

Instant overhead that works on crouching HID and TAD.

Reinforcement Combos

5C > 236C~B > 3E > (engun cancel) j.C > ▷ DL 5C x3

Requires level 51 reinforcements for 3 reps. Kenshin's most damaging non infinite combo. Works on everyone except crouching OIC and MAE.

214214C > 4[E] > 214214C whiff hit > ]E[ > run > 5C > 236C~B

Requires level 50 reinforcements or higher. Combo from his metered reversal. Works on everyone. Can follow up with 3E loops. If 214214C lands hold 5E after the 3rd hit.

Infinites

214A/B or 421A/B > DC > taunt x30 > 2B+C > JC > [j.B > j.C] x∞

Your most consistent infinite. You have to dash between the taunts midscreen. Works on everyone.

2A > 2A > 2B > 5[E] > 236C~A > 5]E[ > 5B > 236C~B > (engun cancel) j.A > j.C > ▷ 5C > 5[E] > 236C~A > 5]E[ > 5A > 5A > 5C > (engun cancel) run 5A > 5[E] > 5C > 236C~ DL B > (engun cancel) j.A > j.C > 2B+C > jc > [j.B > j.C] x∞

Requires level 100 reinforcements. Works in the corner. It is much more difficult and the practicality is questionable due to the level 100 reinforcement requirements. Works on everyone.
