Fair few comments on YT and Twitter asking for the soundtrack.
Bloody Roar 2 Playstation version!
I'm about 5 minutes into this video and I don't remember all the other videos that I've watched for your competitive history series, but I'm not a fan of the background music Lol. It distracts me a little :)
The craziest thing about just how strong Kabal is is that in the actual story, he's only *barely* higher than a jobber.
@CohCohPuff
I mean, he's supposed to be the fastest guy in-universe. It really is weird that he's never really allowed to use it in lore. If we got to watch all of Armageddon play out in real time, he would definitely be one of the first to make it to Blaze, just after all of the teleporters.
@CohCohPuff I know it’ll never happen, but even just a small chapter dedicated to Sonya, Jax, and maybe some other special forces fighter hunting the black dragon members would be great. And it would serve to rope Tremor back into the game. Sadly, probably won’t happen
Kraziest*
They turned him into the stupid henchman in Mortal Kombat Snow Blind
Yeah but ppl dont care about story apparently.
In MK9's story mode Kabal looks at Shao Kahn and tells Kano "I can take him."
I now fully believe that he was being dead serious.
I remember a jmcrofts video that argued that Chun-Li is high-tier in almost every Street Fighter game not because she's overtuned, but because her fundamental tools are so well-suited for the game Street Fighter is that she's always going to be good.
I think that's the same with Kabal. Kabal's tools are so perfect for Mortal Kombat that he's always going to be good in them.
he didnt say she wasnt overtuned but i think both can be true
@@Danz009that’s not what the comment said, she’s not top tier solely because of her being overtuned, despite that contributing, she’s also top tier because her kit is so good
Also she moves units.
I think the only SF game where she's bad is Alpha 3, and that's because she got mondo nerfs.
@@mostverticalproductions4808and the Incredible Technologies arcade version of SF The Movie. She was absolutely pathetic
Kabal - The *ONE* character to be such a damn *BEAST* in every game he's been in.
Kabal is the manny pacquiao of Mk
Kabal is that guy. He's litterally him. Such a strange character to have been made the best in so many games but good for him.
I love to just binge watch mk competitive history tbh
Same here
Probably the best mk content until we get mk12
K&M are easily the best MK UA-camr
Kabal in a nutshell in competitive history is basically "I'M HIM!"
It's very ironic how Armageddon is the one and only game Kabal was considered weak when that game was full of characters that had really busted tools
I have been waiting for this for years. Kabal is one of my favorite characters in all of fighting game history, and him being top tier is just icing on the cake.
facts
agreed
I like Kabal. But as a kid I often played with older kids. And those mfers were leagues above me. They often played him and Nightwolf. So as a kid I hated both ahahaha
Kabal's consistency across games in Mortal Kombat is almost like that of Garchomp in competitive singles pokemon except Kabal never got banned. The worst he's ever been is a great sleeper pick at the highest level of play
Kabal in mk9 is gen 4 garchomp with sand veil: not balanced lmfao
And just like Garchomp, the AI is actually decent using him
@@juice.giygas don't forget that in gen 4, after a Swords Dance, Garchomp 2HKOd everything with either Outrage, Earthquake, or Fire Fang
@@typhlosion7872 literally 0 counters, nothing could switch in and take a hit and ohko it in return. Even something fast and strong like weavile had to pray that it wasn't running yache berry or a choice scarf and even then it was not gonna hard switch in.
And if kabal was a pokemon then him too lmfao
@@grammysworld5449 is that the AI or Garchomp just being super good.
MK9 Kabal: I fear no man, but that thing *tournaments that allow Kratos*, it scares me
Why kratos is it because he’s hunched over?
@asrieldreemurr1918 Yeah, it makes his hurtbox smaller and let's him avoid instant air gas blast often
@@typhlosion7872 I knew it
Well, question answered, Kabal was never low tier. Funny thing that people forget about the Mk11 incarnation, especially in regard to Nomad Dash cancel, is that all his strings are safe and have no gaps - not a lot of need to spend meter for confirms/block safety when you can't be punished normally anyway. Also funny because flawless block was supposed to be (and is, if you're good enough to use it) the big defensive mechanic in MK11, and here's a character who has no gaps to flawless block.
I think we've waited a little too long for this one. I've got my popcorn ready for the gauntlet that is this most likely beautifully made video. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS! Keep it up!
Lucky you. I'm STILL waiting for the competitive history of MKII 🙄
Those 11 dislikes are from people who picked up Kabal and still went 0-2 in tourney. Been waiting for this one man, these vids are top tier.
Kabal: “Can anyone stop me?”
I never knew how much of a tournament juggernaut Kabal was, he’s insanely strong.
Originally, Nomad Dash was called Blur in his first appearance in MK3
This channel has almost single-handedly reignited my interest in MK as a series, in addition to giving me an appreciation for characters I never used as a kid, including the cyborgs and this guy here. Love the way you explain the mechanics and looking forward to more!
Why Kabal is so good:
Why I like Kabal: I like his mask
Would love to see one done of Shang Tsung in the future.
Kabal's been my favorite since MK3 as a kid; I knew what was up before I even knew what was up! Stellar work as always, PNDK&M!
Since my character in Deadly Alliance was Mavado, when I got Deception I naturally used Kabal even though at the time he wasn't a character I liked a whole lot, the Hookswords in DA and Deception was a fun stance indeed.
There He is, the fiercest MK powerhouse char.
Always knew, even as a kid, how OP was Kabal's gameplay. Which did not made me less surprised when I saw the first gameplays from the likes of BySpeed when internet play got more popular.
Defintiely the strongest character across all Mortal Kombat games
HE IS MAD CHEAP IN EVERY GAME 💀
The true Champion of Earthrealm
I cannot express just how much I LOVE this channel. Extremely tasteful, pro, and detailed a usual. Thank you so much for posting. I have an EXTREME love HATE relationship with MK9 being played online and at tournaments since the 2 resulted in the game being patched into the ground like most other "modern" fighting games. I had the privilege (depending on how you look at it) of playing MK9 when it first came out while I was in college. My university was in a VERY rural area making internet connection unusable for gaming so there were a LOT of local games on campus on different people's unpatched versions of MK9 and it was some of the best times we've ever had playing a fighting game almost harking back to the old arcade days. We ABSOLUTELY figured out how "broken" Kabal was in early game and it was both hilarious and fun ending up with him getting banned in some rooms. Lol. We also discovered how "broken" Tag was (which was my intro to this glorious channel) in a way that's almost inconceivable to "modern" fighting game players, 4 players on one console crammed on a couch to eventually all standing since that s*** got serious. ROFL! Absolute fun I miss immensely. Thanks again for posting and sparking that (nearly lost) memory.
nomad dash is one of the most absurdly broken special moves in any fighting game i've ever seen, it's crazy to me how consistently crazy good it always is throughout all the games
Kabal is a silly goose
Always love when a new competitve history drops!! Kabal is such a freaking powerhouse, I never liked him growing up and still hate fighting him to this day. But damn he's a beast.
Would absolutely love a CH of Sonya next!
CH of Sonya will be interesting as she's also been consistently strong throughout the series. God-tier in MK1 thanks to her easy leg grab infinite, Top 10 in UMK3 in more recent tier lists, MK4/Gold I think was her only game where she was considered weak, a Top 5 character in MKDA, High-mid tier in MKA, Top 10 in MKvDC, Top 5 in MK9, Demolition variation in MKX was super strong and she was again pretty good in MK11.
I had a feeling that Kabal would be considered godlike in all of his appearances, every version of him is fun too, I can’t wait until you guys cover jax ^.^
Incredible character, flawless legacy, and an amazing video as always. Thank you!
Fun fact Kabal's top tierness is so notorious, even the Magic card named after MK references Kabal being top 1. 😂
What’s it called? 😮
@@LOLOLOL1ish the card named after MK
I love these longer videos. They're easy to zone out on and just learn. I know that they take a lot more time to research and compile information for, but I love 'em... can't wait for the Scorpion video; it'll be two hours long.
I knew this was coming, one of the most consistent and coolest MK characters.
I really loved seeing him in MK11 compared to 9.
I really hope he comes back for 12.
Kabal is my *S-TIER* since MK11.🏃💨
*Kabalin’*
YES! I've been waiting for this one and I'm so happy it's here, Good job man
GF: Babe come over
Me: can't, PNDK&M just dropped a new Competitive History
GF: My parents aren't home
Me: Can you not read
Kabal is an amazing character, I couldn't wait for this vid!
Can’t wait for the Kano episode, played a ton of him in 11
So happy to finally see Kabal.
Amazing Video as always. Keep up the great work.
I am glad you confirmed for me that Kabal was overlooked at the start, I remember arguing with people how good he was, but after some years they were saying he was never overlooked, and I was really doubting myself haha. Kabal and Raiden were my fav character to use in that game at launch and I would use them in a tag too.
This is a hot take. I think Kabal was worst in MK9 then Cyrax.Cyrax's restands and combos could be really dangerous in the right hands but they took a lot of practice and execution and in some cases with online lag you couldn't get the restand to come out right. Kabal's kit is more easily abusable by regular people. I kind of hate how much Cyrax kept getting nerfed when Kabal was worst and barley got touched.
my favorite mortal kombat character :)
Another great video! Kabal caught my attention as a child with his hookswords, but he was also fascinating to watch people play him well.
Man I still remember when my love for Kabal started. Quarantine was up and I had MK9 for PC since a long time, but never really played it. And decided to give it a try and change from the usual Scorpion and Sub-Zero, where my eyes went directly to Kabal, I fell in love with the character immediate, all his combos were great and felt intuitive, I wasted so much time just playing around in training mode and seeing what he was capable of. Been a Kabal player in every other MK game ever since.
I just discovered this series of videos and man thank you they're getting me through being sick
Love it. I think this is your best one yet!
In umk3 Kabal is absolutely number 1 over human smoke. But the weird thing about the dynamic of those two characters Is that human smoke may be the only matchup in the game that is not favorable for kabal.
... Anyone remember playing UMK3 with that one kid that really liked Kabal and slowly learning to hate Mr Speedy McAirBlast for all time? Can't be just me.
I was that kid
thank you for still making these, ur the best. Also very glad ur still in the quake scene
Finally!!!!!!!!!! I’ve been waiting for Kabal to be covered in Kompetitive History
i think the most interesting character for this series is gonna be baraka . i whould really want to learn more about his competitive story
found your channel from the kabal video and now i'm all caught up on them, ty for the really great content k&m
LETSS GOOO! Was hoping for him for a while, glad he's here
Been waiting for Kabal. Thank you!!
Love this series and I’m psyched you finally got to our lil gas mask boi!
Kabal in vanilla MK3 was easy mode. Having two stun moves that you could use in the same combo was bonkers so it's no wonder they made it so Buzzsaw couldn't be done after Nomad Dash in Ultimate. If you played in arcades back in the day, you could hit Maximum Damage with a single touch twice in every round with minimal training. It was so stupid.
I've been waiting on my boy Kabal for so long, good stuff K&M
This one has been a long time coming, I listen to these videos as I go to sleep every night so I’m glad to have more, personally I can’t wait for a competitive history for Kung Lao
So, when MK9 came out, I had just turned 11 year old. I didn’t have internet back then and boy am I glad for that. Learning about how just ridiculous MK9 Kabel was/is makes me 100% sure that if I fought one online I never would have played a fighting game again. Young me would have raged and dropped the game in its entirety, in spite of spending untold hours unlocking all the stuff in the Krypt (excluding the character challenges for obvious reasons).
Omg. FINALLY! Thank you ser!
My dad got me the Gameboy Pocket version of MK3 back in ‘95 for my fifth birthday and Kabal has been my favorite character ever since. But as much as I love Mortal Kombat, I’ve always been terrible at fighting games, and because of that, I never really got into competitive MK, so I never knew how good he was considered to be.
Pretty dope, then, that my favorite character for all these years has consistently been considered one of if not the best fighter in the series. Go Kabal 🎉😊
Missed this when it came out, but it’s awesome to see the Kabal ep finally out!
Was just watching y’all yesterday wondering when you would get to the GOAT. Good stuff.
I'd love to see more of those! Maybe somthing like Kitana or Jade next? :o
That BR2 OST really takes me back. Especially Yugo's theme.
Been waiting for this one!
Great competitive history video. Fox and Pikachu for sure have a similar super high average for meta presence across every Super Smash Bros. as well.
YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
Always love seeing this series pop up in my notifications
Amazing vid once again dude. Makes me wonder if we would see Kabal in MK12 and how he turns out to be in that game.
Yes! I have been waiting on this one.
Recently got back into MK (been out since MK 7) and an shocked to see Kabal being so good to this day!
Would love to see a Kitana version of these vids as they're fantastic! 😃
An early birthday present! :D
Also, very sweet to see MK's resident speedster get some love. Even if I question his lore sometimes.
Happy Birthday!
@PNDKM Thanks guys! It's on the 22nd hence the early bit. Loved your content for years!

(Would love to collaborate but that might be a smidge ambitious. XD)
I never really gave Kabal much thought, but I've been using him a bit in MK11 and man he is a lot of fun
Great brutalities and fatality
This Dynasty Warriors metal music you went with is driving me nuts as it lasts the whole 37 minutes, but I love Kabal!
When I was little I always thought he looked cool and when I saw his sword he became my favorite not knowing that he was a really good character, just for design and moveset!
Been looking forward to this one, hope to see Baraka get his own video
My friend found him first in umk3 and used him in every game available. Meaning I couldn't. I regret not picking him first to this day
is your friend my older brother? Because same lol
Lovely video!! Kitana would be a good one to see.
Awesome video
i have zero interest in fighting games but this video has really captivated me
One of the coolest character designs ever.
Something I never see talked about is you can also OS jump ins with a dash and then you can cancel that into a normal that won't come out on block but will come out on hit it's very strong for characters with single hit launchers
fantasticly done!! Kitana next!!
Did MK9 Kabal special cancel his NJP into a whiffed air gas blast just to build meter? That’s wild
Yes, and often they use 2 cancels when you stunned to build meter.... Insane and dumb char
Oh boy, here we go. A straight up Top Tier character. This'll be an interesting watch
Kabal is one of my favorites. I found him scary looking as a kid in MK trilogy.
This video went by quick!
lol this video is great and hugely informative. I'd been a Kabal main since getting MK3 for the Super Nintendo with my brother, by trading our neighbor for it in exchange for our Simpsons game lol, but we had no idea what a tier list even was. I just liked the spinning tornado move and I don't think I ever even figured out how to do the gas blast. Then MK9 comes out when I'm in high school and I got rewarded so immensely for picking up such a strange main.
I hate that the MK devs will probably see this video and make him a lot weaker in future instillations though lmao
I look forward to The Mortal Kombat Meta of Deception and The Competitive History of Scorpion and Sub-Zero Your Videos Are Awesome and I love Mortal Kombat and I love the Older Games
Calling Kabal "competitive" in some of these games insinuates he can "compete" with other characters. He doesn't "compete" for much, he destroys them all. I'll never understand how this character is seemingly always busted.
Simply the best, better than all the rest 🎶
Kabal was my boy in the older games, it's good to see he's always been this menace compared to other fighters.
Kabal has become one of my favorites, especially during 11
Kabal is an awesome character. One thing that would of been fun to see as a mini game in an MK game is Kabal’s Pinball. XD
Since a kid I always overlooked this character, but damn he’s cool. Hope he makes it as dlc for mk 1, if they ever fix that game
Everyone has been begging for this guy for months.
Glad you mention REO... The BEST Kabal in the Wold
Carlos is probably one of the coolest MK characters ever

Kabal in Ultimate MK3 16 bit version plays like in Vanilla MK3 in regards to his saw attack. Saw can also be used after spin to combo.
Long overdue Kaballin' out of control
