The 5 years i spent breaking down Skarlet with the rest of the Skarlet community i've never seen this guy, and i can name all of them with my 10 fingers, so i dunno who that hell ATK is, i've never once seen he playing Skarlet anyway, reason why he is not in that video as well though.

Most people agreed that skarlet had even higher execution requirements than kabal, reo also said this. She wasn't a very popular character, because no one really knew anything about the character. Results and tournament placings don't always tell you the whole story, cyrax didnt win a major until the last evo and I don't remember sonya ever winning one. Scar placed top 2/3 with Skarlt at Final round I believe, but he didn't get to that level until half a year before injustice became the main nrs game.

I don't buy the high execution talk.

Allow me to clarify: I'm sure she is very technical. However, she wouldn't be the first high execution character in a fighting game to see regular tournament play. So no, I don't think that's it.

Honestly, I've always felt she was overhyped.

From a friendly discussion into your acomplishments very typical.. and predictable. You can react to Skarlet 18/13f overheads and all you can do to win is crouch, but can't react to a tempest Lao 18f overhead. That's my cue, i'm out (soapbar into my mouth).

Further discussion refer yourself to:

see now you're upset about something, and puttin things in a nutshell because you're upset. SKARLET IS GOOD SHE IS SOLID, but crouching against her grants her no guarantee'd pressure chip. You can fuzzy skarlets overhead, i never said you can't get hit by it. ITS not impossible to fuzzy that shit. please dude, and you're the idiot that said "WHO IS ATK" like you're somebody? Please my man, don't throw shade if you can't take it back. All i did was say my input on her and in my opinion i understand how that mu works. I've played it with a lot of diff ppl who (won EVO, Tons of majors etc whom you can ask about the mu's as well and not take my opinion since they are more credible) don't get it twisted my man.

I played MK9 recently and when I tried Kabal. I realized he was just as dumb as he was on paper. He's like the Flash but worse in some ways. The character was broken with the gas blasts and the NDC. I'm like when should I move

Why are so many of you so against talking about competitive mortal kombat on a site dedicated to competitive mortal kombat? :rolleyes:

He was in game that didn't have a "Stamina" bar. He had dash cancels, and the main ability to make anything he did unsafe, safe with his own special moves. Plus those iAFs of his were pretty substantial to his zoning, he had the low Buzzsaw that saved him as well. He had all the tools to make him the very best character in a game where you either had one or the other.

I always see jokes about how broken Kabal was, but I've never seen an actual reason as to why he was broken. Can I get an in-depth explanation? Or better yet, is there a video showcasing everything he can do?

He had no weaknesses in a game where the top 5 were beating the bottom 5 by odds like 8-2 or even 9-1. He was an unwinnable matchup to a lot of characters.

The character was so good that when you saw other top players doing well vs Kabal you knew they were playing insane and out of their mind.
