Well since we don't really know any other epithets, I'm gonna use Byakuya as an example. I said this before and SpaceCornet just said it, Kensei's bankai and his greatest strength lie in hand-to hand, close-quarter combat. We have yet to see him execute any long-distance attacks. So take someone with Senbonzukura(?) or long distance attack capabilities. How would Kensei fight someone he can't get close to? He's a great fighter and I'm sure he could try to adjust but who's gonna have a easier time winning that fight? Byakuya.

Kensei's still a badass though.
