To everyone making points about Kabal:
Kabal was not upplayed. He was the best character in the game, without a doubt. Sonya, Kenshi, Cage, etc completely shut down a majority of the cast, but Kabal was the only character in the game that was able to compete with every single character in the game in every aspect. Granted, Kabal, Cyrax, Kenshi, Sonya, Cage, etc were much closer to each other than just 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
With so many people practicing Kabal, the only great Kabals I have ever played in my 3 years in MK9 were detroitballn and REO. There were many good Kabals, but the differences were seen in gameplay, placements, and labwork. REO and detroit will forever be the only 2 great Kabal players, which provides arguments for Pig of the Hut and Kenshi. However, the main reason everyone considered Kabal broken, untierable, etc was because REO was on another planet in MK9, skill-wise. Detroit was as well, but REO was the main source for Kabal's notoriety.
