Honestly glad to see Poptart get his recognition, his Kotal is great definitely a top5, we been Kotal boys since we used to find tech together back in 2019 lol
Oh, it's not in this video, it's just that I did watch the full tournament, it's a part when he read a flawless block with a parry and it's abslolutely awesome.
the jonker also seemed like he was nervous lol, he definitely needs to work on his defence, he kept getting hit with kotal's f2, which isn't a bad move but it's not that hard to react against
Kotal's parry is so slept on. Lately I just go to the lab, set AI to very hard and try parrying everything possible (there are a lot of attacks it strangely doesn't catch, like scorpion's spear). It's more versatile than other parrys and its buff--in addition to sun and totems--grants serious damage.
@@acedeluxe5194 it's been a while. I remember testing it in practice mode. It doesn't work against skarlet's blood hook move, and a few others you'd think it would be good against.
Been following poptart for a while now. He was always a killer during the pro kompetition, but never won a title. Good to finally see him take one home 💪🏼 KOTAL SUPREMACY
I remember entering my first tournament with sindel and spamming the shit out of forward 3 with the hair cut. I got the sixth place playing that gameplay.
Funny how all this time later it’s been made clear that Kotal is not necessarily top 5, but he’s right outside of it. Beast of a character. Mid cmd grab, good damage, variety of variations (this is huge), he’s got an amazing s1 AA that rivals johnnys. And you see kotals everywhere now in tournaments, off and online Brokal
I'm so confused, I mained Kotal for a good time but I stopped playing him because he doesn't do anything, if I did any of this online I would just get mashed out of all of it, so watching this is really confusing
Kotal is a counter punish type of character he live and die on reads, in causal you can't really relay on hard reads with a lot of players because people is really random, Playing casually is a lot diferent than playing profesionaly and looks alot diferent
with kotal in casual you have to condition people to block then you can use the command grab up close and create pressure because if you try to use the command grab right away they'll just mash and this vary from player to player, so reading how the other player think is the hard part (sorry if my inglish sucks)
Because it's super risky to try. Missing it is a full combo punish of the opponents choice. Has super stubby range so to even use it out of a combo you have to be inside one of the ranges Kotal is bad at. And it only ticks off one string and pokes with his pokes being inconsistent as hell
Kotal kahn TODAY is the BEST character on the game.. he has low starter launcher, command grab, anti air, amplified projectile, can heal himself and do damage. Can triple buff his damage.. has range... and a parry oh and a low unblockable. please tell me how he not the best
@@cuh9197 Nice. Another warrior joins the Kahn’s royal procession. I haven’t played in some time, but I almost exclusively played Kotal when I did (Kung Lao was my alternate). In my opinion, Kotal isn’t nearly as good as people seem to think. I’m not saying he’s bad (he’s definitely above average to good), but I don’t know that I could rationalize saying he’s S tier. He hits hard, he’s simple to play, and he’s forgiving. However, his simplicity makes him easy to read/defend against (in most situations) and he relies heavily on opponents making mistakes & being scared of his big damage. Looking at that tournament footage, we see the opponents getting hit with an inexplicable amount of F2’s (forward 2’s). The F2’s lead to big damage and corner carry or force an early breakaway while leaving the opponent to be subject to tick throw pressure. All of that’s good, except it’s easily avoidable by just blocking when you’re within or near F2 range. A kotal player throwing out a F2 or B2 is basically a universal guarantee like time, space, and gravity. A blocked F2 (in most cases) leaves Kotal vulnerable to a free strike/throw scenario. There was almost no reason the opponents shouldn’t have been blocking. So a good portion of that damage and being pushed into the corner probably could’ve been avoided with better decisions.
@@Wazminator I’m not saying he isn’t scary. I’m saying most people get their sh*t rocked because they’re too scared of him (usually from a lack of understanding)
Lol what? He lives on reads, punishes and risky maneuvers. Literally every string or special move is unsafe if done to completion. You need to be intentional about everything you do or get busted.
yes please like how are you going to make a god like character with short combos and almost unsafe on everything makes no sense. one basic ass parry that buff his damage by 2% doesn't even last a good time while we got lui kang Kitana jade whos parry hits back instantly
kotal kahn sucks 0 mix ups easiest character to punish and is fucking slow, also his move sets are slow, never gonna play mk again, worst fighting game unbalanced as fuck, broken and full of spammers
Glad to see someone using Kotal outside of high damage combo vids
He is busted who wouldn’t use him
definitely nice to see a Kotal win !
@@grandmaster4600 people who don't know he's busted, lol
Honestly glad to see Poptart get his recognition, his Kotal is great definitely a top5, we been Kotal boys since we used to find tech together back in 2019 lol
Definitely he is so sick
Do you know what variation he uses?
@@Random_Pudcasts he uses 2 variations
1- command grab, amped disc, and kahn cut
2- amped disc, jaguar, command grab/ damage totem
@@dr.platinum2336 which is better]
The part when he read the flawless block with a parry was abslolutely godlike, this guy is really good.
Where? I missed it
Oh, it's not in this video, it's just that I did watch the full tournament, it's a part when he read a flawless block with a parry and it's abslolutely awesome.
This dude makes Kotal look like Joker’s worst matchup lmao
Lol he is an insane Kotal ngl

POPTART is a very underrated Kotal Kahn. He actually 3-0 Aztec in an online tournament considering they were using completely different variations
Supperrr underrated
Went from worst In the game to winning tourneys just like DJ Khaled album suffering from success

Lowkey it is quite a good move
Do yk what other moves it doesn’t work on? I’ve been commited to Kotal lately

I love pro players more when they dont play S tier characters
Kotal is my favorite, hopefully they bring him back for 12
IMO he will definitely come back :)

It's called good predictions the kotal that won I follow him on UA-cam he's really good

Take a shot every time Waz says "oh my god".
You will be drunk
Lessgoooo m8 we need that high damage characters vid part 2!
soooon
Damn his movement
His wavedash is that good
so consistent and fast
Waz you stopped watching at the best part when he fought the Kabal player
I watched all of his top 8 matches >:)
Poptart!!!!!!!! Let’s go. This is awesome
He is sick
Just happy to see the joker lose
I’m like “why this joker is in that tournament?”
you don't see enough kotals anymore
Legit question: Why MK players/UA-camrs have omitted "over powered" from their vocabulary? How Kotal's command throw is not over powered?!
If if can be punished its not overpowered

@@_gamepoint_ I don't play MK11 don't get me wrong, but this is pure downplaying. If a move has weakness, does not mean it is not broken.
@@zangana3052 if you say you don't play how could you have a solid opinion about it my guy? What is so broken about the grab?
Im still debating Poptart or Aztec
Both are ridiculosu
God like kotal kanh ngl
G-day waz
Yooo
You should react to some Shenles matches he's got a really nice fujin
He does some cool stuff, I played him a few days ago :D
@@Wazminator I mean he's no ausey goat like yourself though ! Haha
I was watching bios set vs pop tart, and holy shit he's amazing Pop tart the man congrats to him on the win!
FACTS, he is great.
Wow he’s so simple when playing kotal
How come people can block my command grab?
Poptart represented VL great that day we are so proud of him. ^-^
VL BOYS
kotal kahn is at least A+
I mostly play on Koktail Khan and 40% of my Huehhueyi are contr-jumped. This one is very lucky one on the video
Dude mine are blocked. I thought his command grab couldn’t be blocked
is it the homie bug turk
nope but he is mad good too
loses a match with the jonker and comes back through the losers bracket for the grand finals, who does this joker think he is, sonicfox?
Kotal kahn TODAY is the BEST character on the game.. he has low starter launcher, command grab, anti air, amplified projectile, can heal himself and do damage. Can triple buff his damage.. has range... and a parry oh and a low unblockable. please tell me how he not the best
nah kano, joker and cetrion way better
Im on 3000 hours on mk11 and i still thinking kotal is S++++++++++++++++ tier if u know how to use him
I’m curious, do you actually play Kotal yourself?
@@desmmart14 yeah sometimesb

never
@@Wazminator lame 😂
Title looks like you need to use brain for wins playin kotal
Not to discredit this guy but I don’t think kotal takes any brainpower at all

BUFF KOTAL
HELL NO

Two directional command grab on a character with probably the fastest mid in the game. This is stupid lol nrs smh
His forward two is 17 frames so no, not at all
get yo facts straight
Sounds like Liu Kang, but you can't combo his command grab on block
Hola
Hola
I genuinly hate Kotal Kahn
More like Kotal Kahn won the tournament for them.
Lets gooo
yessss
