His game pretty much revolves around the run jabs and spin set ups. You can play keep away by doing low air fireballs and watching for spin opportunities if they leave the ground. Stick in knee lifts every now and then, watch for guard breaks and spin, or combo, if you spin, make sure you add a jump punch or jump kick to his autocombo. What you want to do as Kabal is run jab pressure as much as possible. When a Kabal player begins his rush down specifically run jabbing like crazy, you might want throw out an uppercut before the first run jab even comes out, also try uppercut him when he lands after a JK and watch when he does his 5 hit combo because if it is even slightly slow the uppercut will miss and you can capitalize on him. Counter run jabbing Kabal will usually result in you being thrown because of some awkward throw priority in that situation. His rub jab pressure is unparalleled because of the Spin Dash always lurking around, even though his damage was slightly reduced from UMK3, the ease of him getting 3 combos becomes very apparent when you just don't feel like being stuck under run jab pressure and a spin plows through your ducking LK. Serious damage can be dealt in the corner with multiple JK air fireball juggles. He has ok damage combos starting from a knee lift, and good damage basic juggles off a simple spin. Expert Kabal players can place jump away kick to fireball traps low enough to the ground to not be hit by teleport punches. What makes Kabal even more dangerous is he can turtle as well as rush down, to both extremes, and mix it up in game constantly. Teleporting Ninjas Ermac, Human Smoke, and Scorpion can give Kabal a lot of trouble, with Scorpion having the least chance due to his low damage combos, also Sub-zero seems to be a good counter for him as well as Nightwolf.
You should try to stay on the ground against him as much as possible because the spin dash will get you every time, particularly in cross ups. You really have to take advantage of jab canceling with block, in which you bait spins out of the Kabal player, and the result will either be a snuff, a block, or a throw. He essentially dictates the match and really the only way to beat Kabal is to frustrate him and force mistakes.
There are many specific tactics that need to be used against him to stand a chance, and these tactics can be spilled over into general gameplay as well.
Kabal is far and beyond the #1 character in UMK3, and for that reason, I will get into a bit of counter Kabal strategies as well. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 Kabal Strategy Guide
