Hmm not really for me as a Kabal main, you have quick punish string (111 into nomad dash) and
No it doesn’t, it’s counter-useful as b12 db3 often input errors
How is his restand garbage? It’s +2 and he has a safe, staggerable, 9-frame mid that leads into a 50/50 to make your opponent respect the plus frames. The hit stun is also weird, requiring the opponent to actually practice the timing, otherwise the Kabal player is going to be able to win the followup every time, even against 6-frame d1s. The damage is also rather high. Hell, just f3~restand does around 18% while leading into the 9-frame-mid mix. And once they start respecting the mid, that frees you up for f22 staggers and 50/50s, throws, or whatever the hell else you want to do.
Eh it's like 20 damage whatever, it gives you a good knockdown, and it's also discouraging to be on the receiving end of too like all Krushing Blows, it just makes you feel like you fucked up when you get hit by one
What do you mean? 29% for 1 bar midscreen is pretty decent off a advancing mid. And in the corner he gets a lot more for a bar. I don‘t think kabal is lacking in damage, there are character who have it way worse
Doing the F224 KB guarantees 211.01 damage to the opponent, which is actually one of his highest damaging combos whereby the opponent has no opportunity to break away.
Nice work Black Dragon fam, just want to ask whether if it is possible to connect a jumping 2 instead of a jumping 1 for a little bit more damage.
Hello, just want to suggest an alternative to maybe get more damage for this combo.
Because this combo is his midscreen best option for b12, you can do a 23 after amp buzzsaw if you start you combo with 22 but with b12xbf1amp the 23 will whiff midscreen. Also bf1amp doesn‘t connect after f22 sadly.
Oh I see, I saw players manage to do the full combo that I mentioned starting with 22 so I thought that it would be possible to do it with b12/f22 since they have better range and deal roughly the same damage. Thanks for the detailed info.
if they try poke or reversal out of F22 stagger / NDC cancel pressure (and that's our best NDC) F224 gets the KB ender.
Unfortunately not it takes too long for the j2 to connect
The timing is super weird for the follow up. I feel that if I go for anything but a down 1 I get interrupted. Online at least.
It's just a slight delay. This is actually a huge benefit, because it's weird timing for the opponent as well. I've yet to be poked out of f4 after the restand. It just took maybe 3 minutes in training mode to learn the timing.
No he's not. He still gets good damage, and giving hook grab will make him too strong. He's fine the way he is. I see b1 being nerfed to a high at some point but Kabal will live.
A 15 frame high? Ah no. He gets 26.7 off of his standard rest and combo which is really not all that much. Less than Cassie. IF you do the Curbo optimized mid screen combo that's 29, but it's really tough to hit consistently. Hook grab just makes it easier.
That combo is easy to do consistently, and using 22 starter into amp buzzsaw nets you 300 damage which is pretty good for 1 bar. And yes a 15 frame far reaching mid that leads to 50 50 is a bit busted imo. Not to mention Kabal already has two strongs mids in f2, and f4. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see b1 adjusted to be a high.
I don't think b1 is so good that it demands a nerf, having a 15-frame midrange but non-advancing mid is just a solid tool. And aren't all of Kabal's "50/50"s fuzzyable too?
