No. I have no real problems with Cage. Just salt. You don't think almost all the top players running to Kabal is him dominating the scene?
I don't think that will happen. I for one won't be complaining about Kenshi or Sonya etc. unless they somehow end up on the same route Kabal is going. Full competitive domination,.
+1 Brandon. The dash nerf was huge.
True, but what if Kabal just ends up being another flavor of the month? Since Kabal's getting a lot of exposure, people will start developing counter-strategies against him, just give it some time. If he ends up dominating like you believe he will, people will be forced to learn how to win with their current mains. If that ends up being impossible, then we may have a legitimate problem on our hands. Either way, I think we as a community just need to let this play out for a little longer, so more tech can be discovered with other characters.
THIS is where I kind of see a fallacy in the defense of Kabal. I used to be a huge proponent of "flavor of the month" characters meaning nothing because new tech will usually be found. I am still right, but that doesnt change the fact that Kabal is not a flavor of the month character. He is by far the best in the game, and has so many tools that even if new tech shuts down one, he has so many other options it does not matter. I do agree we need to let this play out for longer. Maybe until after EVO, although it will be interesting to see how Kabal fairs at MLG and ECT this weekend.
can u explain this to me , in depth if possible?
The thing is, once a character starts centralizing the game, sooner or later it will become second nature learning how to deal with them. I'll give you a personal example from the SF4 series. I used to face a lot of Sagats online back when he was popular. A lot of his damage comes from people jumping at him, and him anti airing appropriately. After I learned to simply bulldog (inch forward, and block every projectile without ever jumping) through his projectile maze, I learned how to deal with him. He was still the best character in the game by far, but after many matches - I learned the general gameplan of Sagat and it became second nature to me how to deal with him. Perhaps the same can be done for Kabal (The learning to deal with him, not the bulldogging)?
Bulldogging is how I deal with iaGBs. Hell it is the only way unless you have fullscreen armor. Yes more people need to be familiar with the kabal matchup and look more into it. That being said he still has so many more tools than most of the cast that even with new tech he will most likely remain the best in the game unless he is nerfed. I have no problem with this personally, and definitely do not think he should be banned.The thing is, once a character starts centralizing the game, sooner or later it will become second nature learning how to deal with them.

BTW, I main Dan in the SF4 series, so I have an idea of how frustrating some top tier characters can be
Basically you used to be able to cancel a dash into another dash. In terms of Kabal this made his instant air gas blasts more powerful since the dash nerf made it WAY harder to get in on him when he's zoning. I know with some characters like Rain this prevented them from doing certain combos, and also changed some matchups.
I don't follow.....a NERF made him better?
Yeah but it wasn't a character specific nerf...it stopped all characters from being able to cancel dash into another dash.
Oh, not Nomad Dash....just plain ol' universal F,F? Sorry, I never really played the old broken version....that was my promise to myself....that I wouldn't even touch the game until it was actually finished LOL......so here I am back with NightWolf again.
And because of that some characters became uttery shit, and Kabal earned his own tier

6-4 is still a TOTALLY competitive match.RampaginDragon said:
So why is he so broken if it takes 3-6 months of practice with him just to get to the point where you can be considered good? Isn't that simply taking the time to learn a more difficult character? I think people are just mad cuz they can't learn him. I can learn almost any character in any fighting game, and I just didn't have the time to invest in Kabal....so it's MY fault, no one else's.
