MK11 Kabal: Speed Demon (third variation) Guide:
BNB combos, block punishes and whiff punishes.
Shout outs to kakashi and NaumBoss.
0:12 Hook grab (db2)
Only hits airborne
Deals 37% (+~10%) damage for one meter
The base variation only gets 28.5% (+~1.5%) for one bar after 23 (don't ever do this by the way, terrible use of meter)
b12 / 22 / f22 also gets 32% (+~9.4%) extra damage, base variation 1 meter BNB is 29% (+~6.4%)
Not a good anti air, use d3 instead, 7f start up, low profile
1:17 Low Spinner (bf2)
Don't ever use this in neutral, as this can be death on block
30% (+~7.5%) damage for one bar with massive corner carry
Enables much more damage with no meter when you want to side switch
Allows for an extra 4% damage with 2 meter combining both db2! and bf2!
Great combo ender in the corner
Best combo starter in the corner due to how far it launches, allowing 4 to hit meaty (or even whiff entirely if pressed too early)
2:17 Gas Blast (bf4)
+3 on hit, but knock back midscreen puts your opponent out of b1 range
bf4! after a bnb will leave a cloud of gas but Kabal will be very minus
Even fullscreen, a lot of characters can punish bf4! if Kabal tries to get this out in neutral
Amplifying bf4 on block will make it safe, whether it hits or is blocked, but both still push back out of b1 range
Heals for 9.4%, deals 7.5% damage (~16.9% net damage)
In the corner deals ~2% less damage than bf2 enders, but restands and leaves Kabal +3
In the corner if amplified deals ~2% damage (so the same as bf2) and restands with +9 (great for meaty 1 frame throws, especially if you have the throw krushing blow loaded)
You can also negate the pushback of the amplified cloud by properly spacing this in the corner
