Alright, some of you who think you know Kabal better than me can go ahead and accept a money match against me at EVO with Kano if you dare. If I win 10 games before you can win 2, I win. If you win 2 games before I can win 10, you win.

So far the only foolish challenger is m2dave. I guarantee after multiple babies or once I get a win streak going, even he will say "fuck this" and run to Freddy.
Well, 2 games out of 10 is not that impossible lol

If this all happens to be true...NRS still doesn't know how to balance a game, which is a shame because this game could have still been competitive and fun for another year, not anymore if true.

GGS guys.
 
REO i guess you are basing this matchups on kabal been able to use b2 dash cancel on them and they not having good tools to deal with kabal's zonning right?

is b2 that strong against characters with a big hitbox?

wouldn't 9-1 be like can only win if the other persons controller broke? I actually find Mileena less annoying for Sheeva than Raiden teleporting out of all her slow ass strings.

Unless we're on your level you'll beat us no matter who we select(and probably you select for that matter), so I fail to see how this proves anything.

In order for this to be a legitmate test, the Kano player would have to be equal to you in skill level.

No, 9-1 means they can win 1 out of every 10 games legitimately. 10-0 would be what you're thinking of.

No I think he's saying he's using Kabal, but the challenger uses Kano to prove MU #'s
The problem is how do we know the challenger is at the same skill level as Reo? Its not like we can rate skill objectively, so I'm not sure what the challenge would prove.

With that logic match up charts are useless.

Not saying your wrong, just pointing it out.

I have a hard time believing there's 9-1s. That's saying that a kabal player at the highest lvl vs a kano player at the highest level playing ten matches, the kano player will win once. Once? Are you fucking joking? Come on.

So play REO's Kabal with Kano, and prove him wrong.

I won't wait up on that.

is there really no one that thinks they can not win 2 games with kano against reo? detroit? cdjr? anyone? surely theres someone out there that can beat reo a minimum 2 times outta 10 using kano.
 
It's more about experience. If a good Kano played a good Kabal then it may be 9-1 in that first series. If those 2 players then played 500 games, the Kano would know the Kabal off by heart.

Then if they played again it would probably be 7-3 or something.

MK9 does not have that much depth. It's still at heart just a fairly simple guessing game.

i think as time is going on the game is starting to get fully fleshed out opinions on the match ups and balance was obviously going to change from the infantile stage of the game to now or even the future.

i for one .. think there isnt enough "masters" of characters yet to decide match ups....

however I also think while mk9 is deep...I dont think the system is deep enough to allow certain characters to bend match ups more in than favor.Its like certain things in this game is set in stone

but what do I know...im new here lol

So where are these grades for all the good players?
I don't know sunshine, maybe you should go do one up.

If you can seriously sit there and tell me that you can't rate a player's overall skill level based on their fundamentals, using examples of good and bad decisions at a tournament level, then you're an even bigger joke than I thought.

That's what I thought, you're full of shit. You're the one claming you can, so go for it.

Sure, I can tell that Reo is better than, say you, but when you start talking about Reo or CDjr, its not so clear.

I think the only brain-dead characters in the game are Cage and Kabal. One just takes a bit more skill to use than the other.

other than Kabal MK is pretty balanced, the only thing not balanced is Kabals stupid iagb's and infinite 2ndcs. still he only beats one character 8-2 imo everything else is 7-3 and 6-4 and a few 5-5s. Kabal doesn't need to be nerfed, just banned!
The mature thing to do is resort to personal attacks over a game.
I quit taking that guy seriously a long time ago. lol

I was discussing this topic with other players and it hit me, 9-1 match ups definitely do exist in this game. I'm talking about Kabal vs Kano / Sheeva specifically here. I was heavily looking at my Kabal match up chart and breaking down each match up. I got to the 8-2s and realized there's no way Sheeva and Kano also lose to Kabal 8-2 if Noob and Cyber Sub-Zero do. Noob and Cyber Sub-Zero have a better fighting chance against Kabal than Kano and Sheeva do.

This leads me to believe 9-1s actually do exist.
