So how to create the style closest to Kenshin Himura's?
From the little I remember of the series he used Iaijutsu and the Chu-dan stance. Obviously I'm aware that his most irrealistic moves aren't possible in this game.

Since I'm talking about moves from the Rurouni Kenshin series,I would like to share with you that I've noticed that Kinugawa uses the same neck biting move that Shishio used.

Play the game , collect all moves/styles and judge the attack animation "you" deem closest. Then create your own style with a blank book in the dojo.

Your style can have three stances. For Kenshin, you are going to want an Iai, Chu-Dan, and a waki stance style (There is a move titled "Battotsu" in waki stance, and there is a counter attack that mimmicks one of his moves at one point.)

Isobe, while having some REALLY silly moves for a waki stance, is the easiest way to learn Battotsu (The Batotsu combos are very reminiscent of his dash and take out groups of people attacks,) while Tokyu school would add another bunch of very kenshin-esque moves. As for Chu dan.... Sensei has a style that is somewhat dignified amongst the chu-dan styles, which I find to have a lot of moves that are too much of a "Sword Fighting Ghetto," to fit in with kenshin.

The Iai styles can be a bit of a tough one too. Sure, Kasshin is good, but its also difficult to find Kashin moves that aren't overly silly for a Kenshin Himura style. Of course, Kenshin treated his Iai form as his most lethal source of attacks, and thus, rarely used Iai moves.

Master all the Iai stances
Ill post my actual moveset in a few but Ill need some time!
Gun Parry Expert
Toughen-Expert
Drink Everything
Renki Koho
1,2,3 soku
Dusk->Flock
Moonlit Night->Homebound Swallow
->Ushimitsu
Target Heel->Target Chest->Hazy Moon
Kanmushi
Cool Breeze
Plover->Flock->Daybreak
Mirage->Daybreak
New Year->Snowflake
Corpse->Preta
->Evermore
Amaterasu
Yaksha Feller
Cranewing

I just wrecked Kondo on Hard(with a 500 damage weapon ofc) with this stance. Amaterasu and Corpse will make this the G.O.A.T build. Once you learn how to counter with Amateasu you will be borderline unbeatable. And the Plover flock Daybreak combo will juggle your opponent giving you breathing room if youre getting your ass kicked!

Also just in case if you dont know:
Battosai Himura-Prajna paths
Regular Kenshin-True Path
