Which Kabal finisher was your favorite?

[@bloodwolf2002]

His mk11 roadrash or mk 2011 ones, I love both

[@MaxAngor]

I love his MK9 golf swing and his MK11 dental work. Both for the sound design. Especially the MK11 one.

[@antwoneallwood2293]

Kabal doing the super speed is totally my number 1

[@kojithedark6866]

personally i love his hooked fatality from mk11 cause u could hear the crushing of teeth before the head is sliced its cringe worthy but ooooooh so awesome to watch...maybe i'm just a sick bastard for liking it so much lol

[@tonyhamilton6948]

The first one is mine.. Although I have heard that they brought back the face from MK3 as a Bruatily (can't spell the word).

[@synraheim17]

‘Hooked’ still makes me sick to my stomach with the sound effects when the hookswords are in the opponents mouth. Such a satisfying Fatality.

[@macysondheim]

How is it satisfying if it makes you sick to your stomach.

[@synraheim17]

@@macysondheim cuz fatalities are supposed to have that effect lol

[@akilcharles3473]

I actually like Kabal's scary face fatality, it might not have been great but is iconic compared to his next one. It even made a return as a brutality in MK11 which was awesome.

[@macysondheim]

Only one w/ the scary face here is you…

[@5150scottie5150]

@@macysondheim lame

[@ManiacalflameYT]

I personally really like his scary face Fatality, I don’t know why- it’s just very unique

[@NpausAsHawj]

First Fatality I learned in Mk3. Loved it. Kabal became my first main ever when the Cades came out.

[@akilcharles3473]

Its very imfamous, it even return as a brutality in MK11. Compare to his next finisher this one was just better and iconic.

[@dariushorton6626]

I agree. I LOVE his scary face Fatality. It’s so nostalgia for me. It’s one of my favorites of his. Glad I’m not the only one lol.

[@luiseduardoformentini8869]

It's funny to see, but also kinda sad... (What did they do to you, Kabal?...)

[@24knightkiller]

Legit has always been my favorite.

[@BlazerK1914]

Kabal: “Gotta go FAST!” Sonic: “Hey, that’s my line!” Kabal: “Oh yeah, not anymore.”

[@i_melee_only3403]

Sonic: “I suppose we could settle this over kombat? Kabal: “you’re too slow Sonic: “-_-

Petition for sonic in mk12

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

@@DooDooWater9732-n5z Kabal: You'll never keep up with me! Sonic: I just did, boy! Kabal: F*** that.

[@freddyfazbear1856]

YES!! Kabal is one of my favorite fighters. Thank you for covering him

[@the_NNPW]

You’re welcome, Freddy!

[@dantewilliams2311]

Road Rash and Hook Up from MK 2011 are my personal top 2. I just love how he gets the opponent’s head on his sword to top it off for Hook Up. And of course Road Rash just showing what happens when you take advantage of Kabals speed and hook swords.

[@Kira-qp5ll]

Personally, I really like the creepy face fatality. It lacks gore, but I like how goofy and out of pocket it is.

[@macysondheim]

Only out of pocket goof here is you..

[@banishingflat84]

‘Hooked’ still makes my stomach turn every time I see it. The severing at the ankles and the crunching sound right before the head completely splits is *shivers*. Great list, as always

[@sifraito]

It's safe to say kabal fatalities really gone better with time

[@the_NNPW]

100% agree!

[@macysondheim]

Nice observation Captain Obvious. As is the same with most things that exist in time

[@sifraito]

@macysondheim7260 Do your homework and watch other finisher rank vedio that this guy made.

[@o.y.t2409]

Video idea:Ranking All Shokan Fatalites(Kintaro,Goro,Sheeva)

[@morgangamez]

been waiting for this all week gonna sit in my bed and watch it before bed! Can't wait baby, prob not the best thing to watch before going to sleep but i'm already doing it!

[@dnkestptt]

my favorite hook-sword wielding speedster

[@hansenjacob545]

Best Kabal Fatality to me is Hooked because of how brutal and nasty it is. I also think the way they show the eyes is what makes it so disturbing.

[@plaguedoctor990]

nearly just spit out my water hearing you almost say "gas blast that subscribe button", that was freaking amazing! hope your day is going great, and everyone should ahem...gas blast the subscribe button to nicks channel right now 😏

[@joshualedesmasegovia]

I like Kabal He is My Favourite Mortal Kombat Black Dragon Member since Mortal Kombat 3

[@Xdylan3131]

The fact that they reduced kabal to a jobber for kano drives me nuts. I really loved his OG story of being a vigilante anti hero was great

[@Mister_RandomGuychannel]

Yeah mk9 did him awesome

[@chrisbeer4233]

Freaky face has always been my fav. It’s so silly makes me laugh. Loved it when it came out.

[@skateorpie]

His MK3 fatalities are so funny I can’t hate them

[@thatoneguy1232]

Here’s my finisher ranking for the most inconsistently portrayed character in all of Mortal Kombat history, Kabal! I think for the most part he’s had really good ones even though he has so little: 1. It Takes Guts (MK9) • This one is on a similar level of brutality as Baraka’s blade lift. I love how the opponent has no choice but to fall over on the swords after getting their guts spilled! 2. Road Rash (MK11) • Although I can’t shake the feeling that this is a little too Flash, it is still a good fatality. My only complaint is that this is Kabal. Not the Flash. Or I guess Reverse Flash because Flash wouldn’t do this lmao. But hey, it utilizes his speed. 3. Hooked Up (V) • I love this one. I like the 9 version a bit more with the head on the sword 4. Hooked (MK11) • This is just nasty. I like the expression the victim makes. It’s a good one. 5. Tornado Cut (MKD) • Here’s another real good one. I wish he did an actual nomad dash though. 6. Freaky Face (MK3) • This is silly and I like it more as a brutality but it does convey the horrible disfigurement Kabal suffered through. 7. Head Inflation (MK3) • Kabal’s one truly bad fatality. Welp, not all can be winners.

[@puritychalice]

The scary face definitely isn't the worst fatality in the game. That's a HUGE stretch.

[@claybfx]

Speaking of Mavado, I can’t wait for his ranking video!

[@the_NNPW]

I do have something planned for the PS2 era characters who didn’t have much time to shine, which includes Mavado.

[@migueljr501]

“Named after a successful night using bumble” bruh I almost spit out my food 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@cyber6167]

Love the gameplay in the background as you’re explaining man! Keep up the great work on the vids!

[@the_NNPW]

Thank you, Cyber. I appreciate the feedback as well. Stick around for more videos coming soon!

[@musicpeeps4003]

I don’t even play MK but these videos are entertaining as heck- I wanna play now

[@the_NNPW]

Thanks for your support and thanks for the comment! I’ve been a fan since MK3 on the PS1 and it’s one of my favorite series. Id say MK11 is the most beginner friendly, if you’re planning on jumping into the discussion.

[@musicpeeps4003]

@@the_NNPW 😳I’ll def add MK11 to my list of to play game!! I look forward to watching ur videos with some context agfjfkf

[@devonjones6597]

My favorite Kabal Fatality is the one you put at number 1

[@chrisg3193]

8:13 this was unexpected and had me in tears LOOL

[@JanAside]

Definitely can't wait for the next ranking

[@the_NNPW]

Any guesses?

[@mikeingognito3171]

Speaking of limited characters, I always liked Ashrah from Deception and wish she was in more games

[@bricexiaolongbelladonna6023]

love the new intro!!

[@ethangohl8459]

I like the new intro but low key miss the old music - it used to get me pumped 😅😂 that being said GREAT choice. Despite having a limited amount of fatalities to rank def a good choice

[@bsbgirl85]

Always liked Kabal (Even though I prefer him to be good over being evil like he is now SMH) Aww, I don't like the face scare fatality being the worst, I always liked that one. I thought it was creative and funny lol. I forgot about that tornado cutting fatality from Deception, that's a good one. Hooked from MK11 makes me cringe the most because of that sound of the hooks in the person's mouth before they cut their face in half *shudders* I wonder how they got that realistic sound effect. Agree with #1 too, especially for the way the body is cut in half. So I agree with this list (Even though I liked his MK3 fatality where he scares the soul of out the opponent lol) It is nice Kabal's fatalities get better and more in character as he appears more and more. I don't get the tease for the next video, babalities maybe? lol. I don't know but it sounds interesting.

[@matthewvolb94]

Thanks now I really want pull and peel Twizzlers

[@the_NNPW]

Same here!

[@jime2568]

Loved the vid! Hope rain is covered soon

[@seifeldeentube]

My list : 8.head inflation (just wot) 7.hook up (mk dec) (good but not special) 6.cut you like a fish (i mean it's good) 5.hook up (mk9) (noice) 4.the jumpscare one (it soo classic) 3.hooked (it gross) 2.the 2nd fatality from mk dec (I WANT TO SEE THIS IN THE FUTURE) 1.the speed one from mk11 (my reaction was like HOLY S**T THAT'S BRUTAL AS F**K) but that's my opinion so don't kill me please

[@jacobcraft123]

Been waiting for thid video!!!!

[@tjcalhoun5705]

Other than Sub-Zero, Kabal is a character I always love to play and main as in Mortal Kombat so this is pretty awesome!

[@King_Sims01]

Ok nick I'm sorry I'm late. I just finishthr Baraka vid and loved it i would've switched the silver and gold medal that's all. But the kabal video i completely agree with. Sucks he didn't have much finishers. Would've gave him more love honestly If i can make a recommendation, rate the entire Cyber Lin Kuei. It has been something I've been waiting for. Since you did guest characters triborg shouldn't be in there right? ANYWAYS love you nick love the videos. Keep the grind going

[@bobbyshmurda4945]

I gas blasted that like button💪

[@dimitriskanteres2623]

Your top 2 is really hard for me to rank. They are both so awesome😎❤️

Me: sees this notif. My brain: hmm yes great video to watch while eating

[@stevenkoudanis5238]

Freaky Face goes hard man lol Kabal is one of those characters whose fatalities dont miss

[@nukeshorrrorshow]

This ranking is 100 the same as mine! Great work!

[@RC99_Productions]

Love the fatality analyses. Hate the puns. I actually like the "face reveal scream" fatality. It's so whacky, it's endearing. It's not my favourite but I personally enjoy seeing it.

[@thedrunkgiraffe8312]

The hint sounded like a kombat kids one. Jacqui aegis reflector for n1 imo

[@rozasupreme]

I like how this basically just became "Kabal's Fatalities in order of release."

[@the_NNPW]

Sorry about that. I do think his finishers got better as the games continued.

[@captainmexico4585]

I blew a booger laughing when you added in the Achilles answer from Wheel of Fortune 💀💀💀

[@the_NNPW]

I’m happy you liked that gag! I plan to put more into future rankings!

[@masterblasterT47]

How I would try to improve the freaky face fatality:Kabal removes his mask, the opponent staggers backwards as their face freeze into a mask of terror followed by a x-ray jump cut to the opponent's heart just before it explode with sufficient force rip the opponent's body in half.

[@BadWolfAce]

My boy! Hooked is an absolutely brutal fatality that I have an odd love for. The slashing of the achilles, the sound of the hooks digging into the corners of mouth and the fear in the eyes of the victim, just something akin to a Saw trap but with style.

[@Mr3V2H1S0]

Yay new video!

[@nyishaclayton7027]

Just an idea, I think a good ranking video would be ranking fatal blows (or X-ray depending on what game) out of all the characters. Just a thought tho

[@the_NNPW]

Definitely an idea people have requested. I’d love to squeeze that in there soon!

[@robokid3334]

I'm very 'hooked' on these rankings

[@davanime877]

I could totally imagine a MUGEN of Mortal Kombat 3 crossover with Darkstalkers due to the goofy humor finishers

[@the_NNPW]

I totally agree! I’ll have to research and see if it exists.

[@destinynanaakrong8584]

"Gas blast"..... Really?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks for the graphic instance "Hook Up" fatality in Deception And also for referencing Stephane from SNL Awesome video bro. Keep it up. Now time for another female

[@the_NNPW]

Thank you, Destiny, for your support! Gas blast just sounded really funny. I’ll get another lady fighter coming in here soon!

[@knighthawk5097]

The change I would make is to switch the last two. Good list list bud!

[@luiseduardoformentini8869]

I actually love Kabal´s Scary Face fatality

[@the_NNPW]

That’s great to hear! It never really was a favorite of mine. I’m happy to hear your opinion on this finisher.

[@macysondheim]

Cuz it reminds you of your own face?

[@farts.and.krafts]

This is pretty insane but have you ever thought of ranking fatalities as a whole for a specific title? (Ex: ranking every fatality in Mortal Kombat X)

[@the_NNPW]

Yes I have!

[@farts.and.krafts]

@@the_NNPW Awesome!!! Looking forward to it!

[@nellyp2622]

Looking forward to a Quan Chi video as he has both the worst and one of the best Fatalities in the whole series. Worst being that Neck Stretch fatality from Deadly Alliance and best his leg beat down from MK4.

[@SnorMatt]

How did you have the fatalities ranked perfectly from Oldest to Newest? 3, 3, Deception, Deception, Reboot, Reboot, 11 and 11

[@sanejthekkekkara6037]

Pun counter: 1. 1:01 2. 1:05 3. 1:15 4. 2:07 5. 2:08 6. 2:09 7. 2:38 8. 3:14 9. 4:21 10. 5:15 11: 6:16 12: 7:10? 13: 7:34 14: 8:09 15: 8:38 16: 9:17?

[@bandwagonbuzzard1617]

The balloon fatality was silly, but it would be interesting to see a remake later. Using the (overcharged) respirator hose to bloat/immobilize an enemy, followed by a gutspewing pop with just the tip of the hook would be both hilarious and suitably gory.

[@fujinstudios9004]

We all know that scary face was the best one

[@shaneduggan8923]

As Kabal being one of my favorite character i liked seeing him, especially by you, because your the best of the best with your MK discussions. Also, can you do ranking of Kitanas Fatalitys? (sorry if you already did that though.)

[@featherguardian6023]

Well call Me being Hooked while my Heartbeat goes Fast,this is a Amazing Video and I Completely 100% Agree with this Rank since All of Kabal's Fatalities got Better on Each Game He Appeared,sure I despise the Damaging Retcon and His Skins in MK11,but it doesn't Change the Fact that He's a Fun Character to Use.

[@jabbah7115]

Bruh. The Freaky Face fatality SCARED the S H I T out of 5 year old me. Terrible fatality, yes, but holds a special place in my childhood horrors.

[@frankstrasser6108]

Iqbal is one of my all time fav characters I love his mystique his uniqueness and how good you can get using his specials and my fav fatality from him is the face reveal. I loved it it’s like when Jason reveals his mangled face it creeped me out so much as a kid and really was character specific. I really wanted to see this one updated and the other fatals he had just never did it for me

[@2049571]

And I agree. Like a fine wine it only gets better with age

[@tawon1984]

Has a top speed for Kabal ever been established?

[@PWNDotcom3299]

5:45 Multiverse of Madness viewers where you at?

[@mage4242]

It takes guts really shows that sometimes, less is more. Simplistic yet effective. And I LOVE Road Rash. Usually comic characters ignore the effects super speed would have on a non speedster, so every time it's addressed its always gruesome and awesome, so showing the effects of being dragged along at super high speed tickles a particularly niche part of my brain. Also Kabal has been my go to choice every game he's available, so I'm probably biased

[@nunu2191]

I was thinking about how you're going to rank Nightwolf's fatalities.

[@daryturian9162]

Good video Nick how would you say your run on KZbin so far?

[@the_NNPW]

Thanks Daryturian. My run on KZbin has been going great, all thanks to you! I can’t wait to see where this’ll go next.

[@redrazorx-23]

I actually guessed which fatality was worst and best correctly😂

[@23NinjaSniper]

Hopefully you’ll rate the supers/ultras to other fighting games like SF, KoF, Tekken, Maybe Bloody Roar but you’ll have to definitely edit those ones lol.

[@neilyringworm]

I love the soul scare! It's all about opinions though

[@canaldovini6172]

Best rank you've ever made. Can't disagree with none of them!

[@xlcusivcontent2790]

if i’m not mistaken the tendon slice from MK11 is based off the movie Hostel

[@Angrymonkey2489]

The head inflation is the most unique in the series! 🎉

[@dr.flizzy9119]

Even though this has nothing to do with his fatalities, the name of his x-ray in mk9 "KABALS DEEP" always gets me ☠️

[@the_NNPW]

Really? I never knew that until now😂

[@andrewcz4346]

i love the new intro its 100x better than the old one

[@the_NNPW]

Thank you very much, Andrew!

[@AlexSilver9]

Frankly I love the impact and gore factor of Hooked more than Road Rash, especially with his horror movie pack skin making him look like a Jason stand in for this game.

[@jenn5628]

His scary face fatality wasnt underwhelming to me. It actually scared me as a kid

[@itzalogano]

the number 5th spot sounds like shanks conquerors haki sound

[@rankrodent2772]

To be fair, labels head inflation fatality would be extremely brutal if done somewhat realistically

[@otaking3582]

What about Animalities, Friendships, or Harakiri?

[@the_NNPW]

With all the massacre I’ve covered, I’d like to get some friendships in there soon. Thanks for sharing!

[@randomguy9988]

What an awesomely designed character, I hope that his most recent appearance doesn’t have his character retconned in a horrible way!

[@Ghost_in_the_Rain]

Kabal's #1 Fatality was so good that it was even used in The Boys S3!

[@joeydemitro8976]

MY FAVORITE KABAL FATALITY ARE THE HOOKUP AND TORNADO SPIN AND IT TAKE GUTS AND HOOKED AND ROADRASH ARE MY FAVORITE KABAL FATALITY TOO

[@flow4065]

question: who's your main in mk11/ what's your favorite mk gamer

[@KodenX]

Fun fact about the "It Takes Guts" fatality: If you do it on Reptile, he'll spill both red and green blood.

[@the_NNPW]

I’m guessing that’s a technical error, or Kabal managed to mess with their circulatory system😅

[@whenfunnydancingcockroach4625]

Did you know Kabal has a brutality in MK11 that references his scream fatality from MK3? Performing a Mercy and then using gas blast activates it, and I kind of hate it, its just as weird as the og.

[@GADZOOKS195]

The dentist: so when was last time you had a sugary drink me: 8:05

[@dbritton987]

Ugh, that Tornado Spin hasn’t aged well, especially cause Road Rash seems like a much better version. The way the opponent is sliced up looks so corny, much like a lot of DA/Deception fatalities.

[@bobbyshmurda4945]

I really liked mk9 Hook Up. It’s simple and to the point, like the head.

Wondering how number 5 takes after his fast dash when all he did was roundhouse kick her to spin??

[@Davtwan]

If you thought getting kicked in the shins is bad, then how about having them sliced clean as if the bone wasn’t there?
