Mortal Kombat 11/Kabal

Kabal #MK11_KAB
AVARICE Fleet-footed Black Dragon enforcer. Kabal’s sprinting speed is only outpaced by his greed. He was a rookie cop until Kano tempted him to sell out his police department for cash money and a spot in the Black Dragon. Kabal has run down anyone who's crossed Kano ever since.

Overview Matchups

Introduction

While Kabal isn't always considered top-tier in MK11, his specials, mixups, and extremely dangerous rushdowns are still strong enough to put him above many of the high-tier characters and into the highest tiers. At least we're not back in UMK3 or MK9.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Lightning Fast: Kabal's strings, mixups, and special cancels leave little to no time to react, flawless block, or punish, making Kabal one of the most dangerously strong rushdown characters in the game. Incredible Utility: Low Hook Grab, Nomad Dash, Air Buzzsaw, Extended Hook, and Hook Slam are extremely versatile, allowing Kabal to have the upper hand in many matchups alongside offering various unblockable special cancels. Fatal Blow: Kabal's Fatal Blow is essentially a much faster Nomad Dash that wraps around the screen and approaches the opponent from behind, making for an unpredictable activation and has the potential to function as a punish/combo ender as well.

If You Think It Whiffs, It Whiffs: Some of Kabal's specials that have a relatively slow startup (Nomad Dash, Low Hook Grab, sometimes Hook Slam) can be especially slow on whiff, opening Kabal up to easy punishes and reversals.
