If you want to discuss further, the MU thread is probably going to be the best place; but I will say this.
Kabal is easier to handle once you get him in the corner. But the key to that is always paying attention to Kabal's meter and planning accordingly based on that meter, as well as laying down the correct ice clone traps that's been discussed in the Bradycasts of old.
I still label this as 7-3 Kabal. A tough 7-3.
Edit: I was trying to find the archive for a tournament back in June where I beat GGA Soonk in tournament 2 - 1 using a rough draft of what I described up above. However, while there's still other footage of that GGA event, the actual MK 9 tournament seems to no longer be there...
