Reo: Kabal is a character that has no known weakness, he has an advantage in every match-up

Kabal being God tier in MK9 has been known for a long time now. The link to the interview is nice though.

So basically Kabal is broken?

have they not been balancing this game?

Ironic how the top tier character in this game was also top tier in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

seems like every game the characters i like are the best. Meta Knight, zerodoomstrider, Bob, Law, Cammy, Chun Li

people still play this game? every tournament is like 20 people enter. lol

MK is fun but shallow, SF FTW!

The last time i've played a mortal kombat game was when some guy just keep randomly poping up at the bottom of the screen yelling "whoopsiee" anyone know who that guy was?

@7 i agree
@8 i think its a dev

#7 I completely disagree, early MK was shallow before the massive amounts of poking, AA's, and different strategies based on chip appeared. It has as much tech as people like to call it, if not more then Street Fighter games.

Kabal is just in a league of his own.

Kabality.

#11 more tech than SF? No way. Play against a top player in Mk9 and against a SSF4AE player and notice the difference in how you get beaten up.

#14

Actually he's right. They have about the same amount of tech. Also, if you played top players in either of those games, you'd get stomped equally as bad. Get rid of that elitist attitude.

@14 Haha, play MK9, that's a good joke.

@5

That's cause you're a tier whore lol

@8

Dan Forden, I wanna say.

Of course Kabal is broken, how the hell they could give him an ability to cancel Nomad dash ? But the game is broken on the whole, so...

@6 MLG host 80 man tournaments. so yeah people still play this game. the MLG tournies are capped at 70-80 entrants meaning they wont host more than that, meaning they could have more players. btw "people still play this game?" got old after EVO'11. come up with something original.

@14 both games are quite different, however they have their own fair share of tech and new tech is still being discovered is both games.

@8 He says "Toasty"

@14 just because they play different doesn't mean there isn't tech. "how you get beaten up" doesn't mean there isn't tech, it just means the games function differently. or do you think MvC2 and Third Strike have no tech because you get beat up differently in those than you do in SSF4AE?

MK is the definition of style over substance.

Have considered getting MK9 but watching game play, it looks like suffers from the same thing it had in MK and MK2 back in the 90s, lack of impact from strikes compared to SF.

Is Tom Brady still considered good in the MK Community?

@8
TOASTY!

So here are some of the tech in SF4 that I can think rattle off from the top of my head: option selects, frame traps, 1 frame links, unblockables, character specific combos, counterhit combos, plinking

Does MK have as many high level components?

Unblockables, character specific combos, stance specific combos, option selects, 1st hit meter bonus, breakers, using x-ray so the opponent can't break, Kitana's unbreakable combos, frame traps, normal dash cancels, dash blocking, restand combos, unavoidable resets, chip damage infinites...

Dude thats without even trying.

@14 SF4 has been out for 4 years.. i repeat...4 YEARS. Not to mention it was re-released. MK has just as much tech and SF4 was also patched plenty. why are you even comparing the two?

To the poster of this artcle: SFILP...We (Empire Arcadia) would respectfully ask that you credit us in this article...Reo is infact (EMP) and mentions it in this very interview...So when we read "KN Reo" here on Event Hubbs, it shouldve also stated (EMP) We would appreciate the proper representation for one of our players...Thank you in advance.

@28 GTFO

@25 Things like 1st hit meter bonus and breakers is not high tech. That's like saying SF has a focus attack
