    Well, he did win a tournament that's considered to be the best fighting game players in the world. Plus, I've never seen anyone capable of pulling those resets off in an actual match. Anyone can do it in practice mode, sure. However, there are moments where he literally moves his character a couple of inches to ensure that the combos connect flawlessly and made small adjustments to his movement each time. If there are better players, they sure aren't well known.

    • @erikrichard6172
      @erikrichard6172 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      I mean, Kabal does not need to exercise patience because he always have projectile spam, this way he deals chip damage while he slowly reads his opponent, which get easier and easier because the pressure makes people rage and panic, this way, Kabal players don't need "mental fortitude" as much as other characters, because he has an option that covers it all (you can even combo out of air projectile). On top of this, the one against Kabal needs a lot of mental fortitude to outplay Kabal's zoning. But indeed, Kabal's executions are the price to pay for this.

      ​@@redram7252don't know if you still need that info, but it's done by pressing the button of the direction that is opposite to where your character is facing (for example if Kabal is facing to the right while dashing, you have to press left in order to cancel it) and block simultaneously while using nomad dash. In order to execute these constant dash cancels like Reo did on melee range, you have to be very quick yet extremely precise on your inputs, it requires an incredible sense of rhythm and timing to perform consistently.

    This game is weird.
    I wish Kabal was better-designed.

    • @MasterMetallix
      @MasterMetallix 9 ปีที่แล้ว +33

      SolidSonicTH The problem is not in the game design. It's in the players. They can usually be grouped into two categories: the casual players (or "Scrubs"), who play the game for fun and enjoy all the different aspects of the game (like me), and the professional players (or "Stop Having Fun Guys"), who play to win and use (or abuse) only the most practically effective (even if boring) techniques and strategies. People of either group tend to each dislike the other for "not playing the game properly" or similar reasons.
      These two players are in the latter group: they're competing in a tournament, possibly for prizes such as cash or collectible items, so their goal is to defeat each other and win the game, not to entertain the audience. We might not like that they're just using the same techniques over and over again, or that they're not "in character" with respect to their combatants' in-game personalities and fighting styles, but they can endure that disdain if they walk home with the prize at the end of the day.

      MasterMetallix Kabal doesn't have to be so OP. It's just bad balance.

    • @TheTurtleVillage
      @TheTurtleVillage 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      SolidSonicTH The game is overall very well balanced though. Good players with many characters could've competed with this Kabal just as effectively.

      MasterMetallix Competing is fun, and this gameplay was much more entertaining to watch than two mediocre players playing because of the great skill showcased here. You would have fun if you played like these guys against other good players, you just don't want to put in the work, which is fine.

    • @MasterMetallix
      @MasterMetallix 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      TheTurtleVillage I respectfully disagree with your opinion. Hard work is for school, for college, for 9-to-5 jobs and responsibilities. This is a game - players should be able to have fun and succeed using strategies that suit their own play styles. The use of strategies such as the ones displayed in this video is not bad in and of itself; the problem is that they render other play styles obsolete and force everyone to "play" the same way. Instead of being a game in which people can explore a variety of options and enjoy different scenes and combinations, the tournament becomes a "job" in which the only way to "succeed" is for people to memorize a single, repetitive task, and the winner is the one who does that one chore best. It's like a job in which personal preference and enjoyment don't matter, where the demand for profit puts speed before quality (notice that many of this video's viewers dislike the players' strategies even if they acknowledge that they themselves would lose to the players, and that the combos are labeled "cheap" and "spam"), and in which a player's effort, enjoyment, practice, and skill count for nothing if he/she doesn't win. Playing against these guys is like playing a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors in which they automatically win if they throw first regardless of what signs we make. I shouldn't have to "put in the work" in order to have fun playing a video game. I can accept that I'm not going to win 100% of the time, but I would prefer to lose in a balanced, close-finish match in which both of us use a variety of techniques and strategies than in a one-sided rout against someone who repeatedly abuses the same tricks over and over again.

  • @TheGreatAustino
    @TheGreatAustino ปีที่แล้ว +11

    This is some of the best fighting game action ever imo. Created before game devs decided to hyper balance everything to the point where many games lost their fun and overall appeal. When too much balance is put into video games, they becomes less like chess and more like checkers. I want another fighting game with broken ass characters and characters like Dan from SF4 that were made to be intentionally bad because honestly that makes a fighting game more fun.

    While I can see how it is useful, you see that once Cyrak gets in too close he just wins on the spot which makes the Kabal player look less like a tactician and more like a spammer. It's a good strategy but flawed if you can't handle short range combat as well.
