Survive This: Kenshin Himura

Thankfully, there are a few versions of Kenshin Himura out there for MUGEN. Kenshin is the lead character of an awesome Anime series. This version of the character is one of my favorites. I used it to run through survival mode and here are the results!

Grudge Match: Kenshin Himura vs Baiken

I was wondering who would win: Kenshin or Baiken. My money would be on Kenshin because I think he has more skills than Baiken. I decided to stage a fight in MUGEN.

Rurouni Kenshin is one of my favorite anime series. It has an engaging story, excellent fight scenes, and conflicted hero...and sword fights! I like the hero, Kenshin Himura. Thankfully, there does exist versions of him in MUGEN and even a screenpack. The main thing I like about the series is that it has a real historical backdrop - when Japan modernized and the samurai almost all disappeared. Kenshin is based on a real person named Gensai Kawakami.
