KOF' 2002 Sie Kensou
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes from kof'2001 to kof'2002
1. His Rapid Dragon Fangs (hcf + P) has slower start up so you cannot
chain it from a light attack.
2. His Dragon Jaw Smash (rdp + K) has lower piority
3. He got his Eat-a-Bun back (qcb x 2 + P)
4. He has the Hidden SDM which powers him up (details below).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Impression
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
So much for having the "Dragon Spirit". I thought he would be much
stronger or maybe he'll become the new lead of kof'2002. Kensou has
weaken considerably.

Hidden SDM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
??? qcf x 2 + BD
(Kensou fires a very fast Psycho Ball that flys across the screen. The Psycho Ball
returns smaller in size and if Kensou accepts it, his moves does more damage)
In order to accept the returning Psycho Ball
- Kensou must not be blocking
- Kensou must not be hit
- Kensou must not negate it with his own fireball
You are invincible for a moment when you have your "powering up" animation.
Rumors has it that if you perform his DM when powered up, you'll see a dragon, but
that remains still a rumor. I tried it and haven't seen any dragon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic Combos
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) far standing C (2 hits) -> (S)DM
(2) close standing C/D -> Rapid Dragon Fangs (hcf + P)
(3) close standing B -> Dragon Jaw Smash (1~2 hits) -> DM/SDM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Playing with Kensou
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) His Psycho Ball can be used as anti-air even but must not be abused against
certain characters. And since his bun DM is back, you had better not turn your
controller for your fireball too many times as you may accidentally do IT.
(2) Abuse his far standing D and down D, they have a lot of piority

Team Ending
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No team ending this year, only a few spoofs that is pretty entertaining until the
novelty wears off.

Copyrights (?)

Well, there's not much to steal from here anyway. Most of the stuff here can be gotten
just about anywhere and can be learnt through experiences. This faq can ONLY be found on
www.gamefaqs.com so please visit it to get the latest up-date. Oh, pls give credits for
whatever you decided to cut and paste and post it on any kof forum or refer them to this
faq which I slogged all day to produce.
Another mental note, if you didn't discover the combo and you saw it on some video clip,
pls give them credit too. It's pretty obvious when you can't do simple chain combos and
yet you post something obnoxiously difficult.
