3RF vs shin kick spam

[Zeiken]

Ive noticed higher damage output with just spamming shin kick than doing 3rf.. it might be just me since i press the buttons too fast and only pull off the 3rf half the time.. but if i spam shin kick until its down and replaced by leg sweep i can even follow up with even more damage combos. Tbh im not a fan of 3rf. I win many more 1v1's without it.

Shin Kick spam is recommended for Kfm beginners or people who havent enough skill to pull of a decent 3rf or people with high ping. The 3rf combo does a lot more damage, I would say at max ani-cancel speed up to 2 times the damage. But spamming Shin Kick is fine, it makes it a lot easier to make long combos. But to maximize your damage and 100-0 potential you should learn your 3rf combo as soon as possible.

Yep most of the 3RF damage output comes from Cyclone Kick which hits harder than Shin Kick. If you have low enough ping and a perfect ani-cancelling, 3RF should easily double your damage output compared to Shin Kick spam.

You also can't properly proc your Searing Palm stun with just shin kick.

Yep that's right too. You can't fit enough hits while the enemy is stunned to proc your Searing Palm by just spamming Shin Kick.
