Should Kabal be banned in competitive play? (Community Discussion)

[Sage Leviathan]

Anyway, there are respectable top players such as; CURBOLICOUS Slips , and etc. that feel Kabal should be banned. Don't some of you think these guys would know more about this manner since they experience Kabal at the highest level? No one here is right or wrong. Just keep it level-headed and discuss what's best for the community and the game.

...and is relatively easy to pick up and effective in some of the most basic hands.

Quoted for contradiction, as a LOT of this community has faced (and toiled with) Kabals that are half your calibur.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. That wouldnt fix shit.

also, his ground saw should hit high instead of low, and when you get hit by an IAGB it heals you.

Thats more like it.

 

[K7L33THA]

You people make me sick.

 

[Lulzlou]

Ban Kabal and I'll turn gay

 

[xenogorgeous]

no, because, being hard or easy, Kabal still can be defeated somehow .....

 

[AREZ God of War]

You can't be serious with that chart.

LMAO I didn't see any of those 5-5 MUs I asked about.....what's your list look like, Tay? I think REO's trollin' with all the 6-4's being the his worst MU. Doesn't he struggle w/ Jax, Kang and Cage up-close and Kenshi, Freddy and Mileena from a distance. I'm probably wrong but I thought I heard something along those lines.....plus look at all the times CDjr beat REO's Kabal w/ Jax.

 

[RampaginDragon]

Kabal is fine.

Can you elaborate?

 

[AREZ God of War]

Can you elaborate?

"Fine", as in he's physically attracted to him and would like to have long nights of repeated sex with him.

You can't be serious with that chart.

The glaring error with the chart is that he made vs Kung Lao a 6/4. When it is actually a 5/5

 

[Skitzo]

Mmmmm, more Kabal love.

 

[Enenra]

Ban everyone.

REO if NRS removed the ability to cancel nomad dash, would you still play him?

No.

 

[Enenra]

No.

Who would you play? Kenshi?

 

[REO]

Who would you play? Kenshi?

If Kabal gets nerfed, everyone will find out.

That sounds like a plan! *puts cigar in mouth*

 

[X-__-hawkz-__-X]

REO I think Liu kang is a 5-5 me and crazy wrath 88 test this

 

[Enenra]

If Kabal gets nerfed, everyone will find out.

I see how it is, keeping us on our toes.

 

[Mothmonsterman0]

i think these ban kabal threads should be banned

 

[-Deadman-]

Then if removing the cancel is out of the question. I suppose any "fixes" would have to be on the gas blasts.
Most peoples salt isn't that hes got really good zoning, or that he has really good pressure. Its that he has both.
I don't want to see any character banned, and I don't want to see any Kabal mains forced to play other characters
out of grief from the community either. If Kenshi had nomad dash cancels, people would riot. If Jax got
instant air energy waves, people would riot. I just wish they could find a perfect balance to make everyone happy.

 

[elLesSDee25]

The only hard character to pick up and play in this game is Skarlet. Every other character is relatively easy.

I heard you say " Whats so hard about Scarlet her dagger cancel?" All sarcasticly, Are you being serious?

 

[UsedForGlue]

This character has no bad match-ups, dominates all characters in the game, and is relatively easy to pick up and effective in some of the most basic hands.

Please take time to think about your decision before voting. Thanks.

Discuss.

Why would you suggest/offer up the option for Kabal to be banned, when we have 90% cyrax one bar combos, and smoke 100% combos?

Well REO plays Cage on the side so....probably be Cage.

cyrax actually loses to members of the cast. smoke, as well. sure, the resets are stupid, but they clearly aren't dominating like Kabal has been.
