Hi guys and welcome to another beautiful day, with Mortal Kombat you are sure to always have a fun time, be it the movie or the game, and it seems the fun was just upgraded to a whole new level with the addition, or probably the reveal of the character Kabal via a gameplay trailer that was released recently, don’t worry, the gameplay will be dropped at the end of this post.

Before now, I made several posts relating to MK11 and how it reminds me of the good old days, if you a gamer or once played the Sega Genesis console, there is every chance you played MK3 as well, the gameplay was just too superb and the characters unique.

When it was released into the market then, it quickly gain dominance from the likes of Streetfighter and other fighting base game that was available then, probably due to its unique features which I once discussed, but for the benefit of others that didn’t get to read that post, am referring to the features like Fatality, Brutality, Bability and others and also the unique movements that came with each character/fighter.

Amongst this character was Kabal, when played by a pro, he becomes a semi-god.

I would compare him with the likes of flash, silver and any other comic hero that has the power to run very fast.

Well, that’s probably an over-statement, but then his gameplay centers on him running while beating his opponent, I don’t mean running away but rather most of his ability are kind of fast and one can classify him as a semi-speedster.

who is Kabal

Kabal was introduced in Mortal Kombat 3 as a former member of Kano's Black Dragon criminal organization who had reformed as a force for good and thus became one of the chosen defenders of Earthrealm, while notably suffering an attack by Outworld emperor Shao Kahn's extermination squads that left his face disfigured and thus concealed behind a mask Wiki

Seems he was actually introduced on MK3, just my luck I guess, cause that was the only MK game I did play as at then, I have seen other MK series game where characters that are not available on MK3 where made available then, character like Goro and others, seems Kabal was first introduced on MK3.

From my point of view, Kabal is more of a troll character, one that can actually render his opponent useless and the same time a double edge sword character, meaning when such activity was carried out and your opponent clicked the block button, man the counter was really hard with an uppercut straight to the face. I can recall how many times my bro actually blocked that ability xd.

Am referring to the feature or call it ability, where he could run past you and make you turn, thereby stunning your character for a brief period rendering them open to attack.

Seriously, it was one of the best feelings when playing MK3, you could just get the opponent with the ability and watch them try to gain their foot lol.

His other ability where not that unique as most character where able to use it as well, take the ability where he could teleport down and come up with an uppercut, that same ability could be done by Kung Lao, smoke, sector, Noob Saibot, and many others, although not the same way but somewhat similar, making it not that original.

While other abilities involved him using a hook sword, when close to an opponent, he could grab them with the hook and fall them face flat to the ground, but to get this done was kind of hard, and was best done when your opponent loved pressing the B button to block attacks, this way you could just run to them, grab them and next thing, they were already facing the earth.

Kabal was a fun character to play with and been added to MK11, means more fun once again.

From the brief gameplay uploaded, it seems same fighting style was actually brought or imported to MK11, with Kabal still using same hook sword and same movements but this time, more advanced and the gameplay more interesting and more interactive, the difference between a game published in the 2019 and a game published in 1995 can be clearly seen xd.

As promised, the gameplay will be dropped below and I do hope you enjoy it.
