Toomuchbob's Kabal Guide

[TooMuchBob]

Really just wanted to get this on here before I leave for the weekend. I'm going to keep this up with as many situations as possible and explain some things in detail, but for now, here are some of the best punishes for Kabal at midscreen depending on range, frames, etc, you'll need to adjust, use your brain accordingly. I know there are some combos that get more slightly more damage but in my experience these are the most consistent. I marked amplified moves with a " ! " . Ask questions, I'll probably be able to answer some while I'm gone.

Great work! Though it seems you consistently had the typo “bf2” for buzzsaw, instead of bf1.

 

[Gunnxr]

Thank you for this, I've been waiting for something like this to pop up for Kabal

Thx, I do things by muscle memory so much I can't remember the actual input

This isn't really a guide, per se. This could have been placed in the kombo thread as that's all it really is.

Thanks for it, however. But I'm interested in learning the character and saw "guide" and was like, "Awesome!" only to see it's combos. They're worth taking note of and learning, but nothing about his game plan is contained within the thread.

Good shit.

For some reason most kabal "mains" im facing online choose to literally zone for 99.99% of the match EVEN when they are getting wrecked.

Maybe after this ill actually see some good kabals
