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

[REO]

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. Also make sure to keep in mind that there will be no further balance patches or hotfixes for this game.

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

Discuss.

eliminate the dash cancel, kabal fixed.

 

[K7L33THA]

No.

WTF is this shit? Easy my ass, it took me a few hours just to figure out basic Kabal shit then I finally said "Fuck this, I'm going back to NightWolf, Kabal's gonna take me WAY too long to learn"

 

[Rathalos]

No, but if you select him you have to play the match with a guitar hero controller to even things out.

 

[Flagg]

Kabal will not save you from the UK takeover.

 

[A F0xy Grampa]

He's so easy to use. But not bad enough to be banned.

 

[Tim Static]

REO pls

 

[CJKRattlehead]

The only problems I have is the heavy advantage off the 2 and 111 NDCs, He only is really ban material against the big hitbox characters IMO.

 

[RampaginDragon]

I would like to see him nerfed down to be on the same level of the rest of the top 5 honestly.

Do you really think he is easy to pick up? IMO he is the hardest fighter in the game to pick up. But you can still get him down pretty damn well in the time span of 1 month.

REO pls

You beat Derptile to it.

 

[THTB]

No.

Once he starts dominating tournaments, like being the only character making top 8 aside from maybe 1 or 2 obscure characters, that's when you need to bring this question up.

Give people time to figure out this character. People still don't know what to do vs him.

Kabal players have been winning because they leveled up. Everyone else needs to level up their knowledge vs Kabal.

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

If it shuts you up then yes.

 

[Espio]

Oh dear this thread is going to be fascinating......

 

[sub_on_dubs]

There should be a cool down on the fireballs and eliminate the ex dash. He would still be top tier with those nerfs but until then ban this burn victim patient.

 

[DragonPick]

Nerfs or not, he shouldn't be banned.

 

[GGA soonk]

keep in mind, nerfs will never come.

 

[CURBOLICOUS]

He should be banned, If they toned down his IAGB then he would be fine, make them the same as liu kang's iagf. He's already got armor that wrecks people and the high, low, grab, ndc mixups off of his strings.

 

[Grolarbears]

No. At the end of the day, it isn't fair to the people who play the character. May seem like a weak reason to a lot of the community, but I know plenty of people who actually love the character, and that seems wretched to take a character someone loves out of the game.

On a more logical level, wait until after Anaheim and EVO to decide.

 

[gdf]

REO must be bored.

 

[Z-911-Z]

Tough titties REO.

 

[DragonPick]

If Kabal got banned, his forums would dry up so hard. Just look at poor Kratos

Can This Thread Be Constructive At All? . . . Lets Watch

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

No, just everyone and their brother's aunt's second cousin doesn't need to pick him up.
