Mortal Kombat 9/Kabal

Kabal

Once a member of the Black Dragon clan, Kabal gave up his life of crime and put his fighting skills to more positive uses. He joined the New York City police force to kombat the underworld element he once served. This transition helped ease the pain of dark memories. But when New York was invaded he underwent another transformation--one that would afflict him physically. Severely injured in battle, he is doomed to wear a life support system forever.

Special Attacks

Nomad Dash

Charge that spins opponent on hit and is central to Kabal.

Can be cancelled out of with b+bl any time before hitting the opponent.

Mind games with the dash can make a very fierce Kabal.

Ground Saw

Hits low. Slight delay after throwing a saw before another can be thrown. If you do it too fast Kabal will do the animation but not throw the saw. Combine with the blast projectile in ranged battles.

Tornado Slam

Hits overhead and swaps sides with the opponent.

Vapor Blast

Standard damage projectile, can be thrown as an instant air projectile to get out fast as possible.
