While I can see how it is useful, you see that once Cyrak gets in too close he just wins on the spot which makes the Kabal player look less like a tactician and more like a spammer. It's a good strategy but flawed if you can't handle short range combat as well.

I have to say that it takes way more effort to perfect Kabal than Cyrax, although I like both characters equally. I don't know how Reo's fingers didn't fall off sometime in the middle of those rounds.

[@erikrichard6172]

I mean, Kabal does not need to exercise patience because he always have projectile spam, this way he deals chip damage while he slowly reads his opponent, which get easier and easier because the pressure makes people rage and panic, this way, Kabal players don't need "mental fortitude" as much as other characters, because he has an option that covers it all (you can even combo out of air projectile). On top of this, the one against Kabal needs a lot of mental fortitude to outplay Kabal's zoning. But indeed, Kabal's executions are the price to pay for this.

[@darkeatermidir9410]

​@@redram7252don't know if you still need that info, but it's done by pressing the button of the direction that is opposite to where your character is facing (for example if Kabal is facing to the right while dashing, you have to press left in order to cancel it) and block simultaneously while using nomad dash. In order to execute these constant dash cancels like Reo did on melee range, you have to be very quick yet extremely precise on your inputs, it requires an incredible sense of rhythm and timing to perform consistently.

[@The_Pantologist57]

I hate zoning but people ask yourself this question. Do you really want to get beat every time in close kombat? No matter how much you try Cyrax always beats Kabal in close quarters. That's why it's better to zone until you see your opportunity to start up a combo.

[@SolidSonicTH]

This game is weird. I wish Kabal was better-designed.

[@MasterMetallix]

SolidSonicTH The problem is not in the game design. It's in the players. They can usually be grouped into two categories: the casual players (or "Scrubs"), who play the game for fun and enjoy all the different aspects of the game (like me), and the professional players (or "Stop Having Fun Guys"), who play to win and use (or abuse) only the most practically effective (even if boring) techniques and strategies. People of either group tend to each dislike the other for "not playing the game properly" or similar reasons. These two players are in the latter group: they're competing in a tournament, possibly for prizes such as cash or collectible items, so their goal is to defeat each other and win the game, not to entertain the audience. We might not like that they're just using the same techniques over and over again, or that they're not "in character" with respect to their combatants' in-game personalities and fighting styles, but they can endure that disdain if they walk home with the prize at the end of the day.

[@SolidSonicTH]

MasterMetallix Kabal doesn't have to be so OP. It's just bad balance.

[@TheTurtleVillage]

SolidSonicTH The game is overall very well balanced though. Good players with many characters could've competed with this Kabal just as effectively.

[@TheTurtleVillage]

MasterMetallix Competing is fun, and this gameplay was much more entertaining to watch than two mediocre players playing because of the great skill showcased here. You would have fun if you played like these guys against other good players, you just don't want to put in the work, which is fine.

[@MasterMetallix]

TheTurtleVillage I respectfully disagree with your opinion. Hard work is for school, for college, for 9-to-5 jobs and responsibilities. This is a game - players should be able to have fun and succeed using strategies that suit their own play styles. The use of strategies such as the ones displayed in this video is not bad in and of itself; the problem is that they render other play styles obsolete and force everyone to "play" the same way. Instead of being a game in which people can explore a variety of options and enjoy different scenes and combinations, the tournament becomes a "job" in which the only way to "succeed" is for people to memorize a single, repetitive task, and the winner is the one who does that one chore best. It's like a job in which personal preference and enjoyment don't matter, where the demand for profit puts speed before quality (notice that many of this video's viewers dislike the players' strategies even if they acknowledge that they themselves would lose to the players, and that the combos are labeled "cheap" and "spam"), and in which a player's effort, enjoyment, practice, and skill count for nothing if he/she doesn't win. Playing against these guys is like playing a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors in which they automatically win if they throw first regardless of what signs we make. I shouldn't have to "put in the work" in order to have fun playing a video game. I can accept that I'm not going to win 100% of the time, but I would prefer to lose in a balanced, close-finish match in which both of us use a variety of techniques and strategies than in a one-sided rout against someone who repeatedly abuses the same tricks over and over again.

Synyster Grapes at least im not an arrogant piece of shit whos main priority in life is to tell people its zoning and not spamming

[@airank3861]

Kinda fitting that Kabal, the speedster of MK, has to run the entire match so he doesnt get TOD'd

[@GeniusOmegaZX]

Antes do nascimento do monstro SonicFox esses caras faziam a festa 😆

[@LBeaverMonkey]

At first I was like why is he spamming but then I saw cyrax do a nasty combo 😭😭

[@3dy97]

17:22 *SHREK*

[@samgalloway3012]

0:50Full life combo.

[@BuffProductionHD]

if 80% of your game is fire balls...you don't deserve to win

[@andoresue]

The hit boxes are so fucked up lol but of course both players are well aware of these and make use them.

[@adityagarg3931]

Kabal player is really good. Bro was doing a boss fight. Djt took a easy character

[@frostyfrenchtoast]

This looks deeply unfun, like I’m sure that Cyrax stuff was p much impossible to see in a regular match up legitimately losing an entire life bar off one or two confirms is absurd. MK9 was mechanically *broken* and how this game was at EVO is beyond me, feels more like an arcade mini game and I mean that in the most endearing way possible lmao. Just crazy to see looking back

[@fredcrz4905]

muy buen combo con cyrax de parte DJT,,,,pero reo no se queda atras con su kabal muy buena esa final entretiene

[@camjames8629]

How do you spam like crazy and still get whooped?

[@arthorcurry6739]

That's cyrax tho he was hella broken

[@himanshubhoria1832]

Because 1 touch from cyrax does 90% you noob

[@axe6279]

Coach whispers in ear; 'stop spaming the same 2 moves noob'.

[@YungYorii]

Never realized how broken these characters where

[@tazz5406]

Like a boxing fight when both sides are good... I wouldn't say he WON by TKO as both sides were very competitive!

[@austinpetersen9650]

I know this is many moons ago.. But I'm sorry the kabal player is trash, just sits there spamming, don't get me wrong, to do everything that he is doing would take skill, and he knows business combos. Goddamn though the spamming. He doesn't deserve to be in grand finals like that

[@foolah]

Ik this a year old comment but u sound like a complete dumbass thats how u play against cyrax you cant let him get into you or thats ur health bar ik ur trash at this game

[@bakurasensei]

Kabal vs cyrax is like goku vs vegeta😂 I honestly miss when fighting games were broken as all hell like this

[@SaintSoraaa]

crazy how his video is 10y old i still loved this game well and damn, gotta miss those old times playing with my homies on the PS3

[@IGRETRO]

So syrax can take 90% of the lifebar in 1 combo. Seems fair

[@emmanuelkalaba5733]

How you even go to a tournament zoning lol

[@AlwaysRetr0]

NRS aint the smartest when it comes to making a balanced video game

[@Roninlasher]

After MK1, This game was just fine
