Just for the record, I pointed this out from the get go concerning Pig and Kenshi.

Not entirely true otherwise DJT could have used Kano and achieved the same result? I dont think so. We are talking about Cyrax here....
I've always advocated for courtyard, that stage is perfect IMO.
I agree that kabal's biggest weakness is when he gets cornered, that is where he gets wrecked.
The same way community never came together and ban Kabal from tournaments, thou everybody knew hes was broken or any other broken character for that matter.
That's not really his weakness, most characters gets wrecked in the corner.
No. Players like myself grinded the kabal matchup everyday for a year and a half against good kabals (Kevo da man in his prime, Ermacio who elminated GGA Han at NEC, etc), the character is just THAT good. Almost every situation is in his favor, no matter how patient you are. DJT just made amazing reads. Even after I grinded the matchup for that long, I went up against Reo and while I put up a good fight, i managed to get it close because I guessed right like 20 times in a row. Then I was wrong 2 times, and got blown up. Then Curbo destroyed me next tournament because he read right way more. The fact of the matter is, this is not a matchup knowledge problem. Do you really think all these top players are really that dumb. No! Kabal has control of the match at all times at the highest possible leel and you have to put your life bar on the line over and over again to get anything done. To say it is laziness is insulting to many players who have put weeks and weeks and weeks into practicing this matchup nonstop.
DJT plowed through several Kabals. You make it sound almost like "yeah, he played his socks out, but his reads were good". Sure sounds like guess work?
well I just meant how he goes backwards when he zones with iagb. But really, he has no glaring weakness, he can do everything well.
DJT is better than me. He reads opponents very well ( which is what good players do), thats what i am saying. But that has nothing to do with players being lazy and not learning how to fight the kabal mu. That has to do with him making the correct reads over and over again to beat top kabals. I just want to make it clear that the part of your statement I was offended by was the statement about laziness.
Very foreign concept on TYM sadly.
So what's stopping everyone doing that? Kabal isn't easy to pick up, but you see people do it. So if thats possible, its possible for EVERYONE to play like that against him? What do you think is harder, playing against Kabal with your main or trying to main Kabal?
I wasn't saying that I was as good as DJT at all. I was saying that he won because he outplayed reo and detroit and all the kabals he played and overcame the matchup, which is tough. Probably 6-4 or 7-3, depending on stage. I was just saying that it isn't actually bad for cyrax and that players are just lazy is disrespectful to a lot of people.
