Kabal with out hook swords,they shouldn't even put him in the game in that case. What are they thinking, Kabal is one of my favorites next to Sub-zero and scorpion. They better give him his weapons back.
I'm mostly alone on this, but right now, I'd prefer the hookswords to stay with Mavado. As for Kabal, there's old concept art of him (then called Sandman) armed with a pair of hand held buzz saws, saw blades on tonfa style handles. I think they should use that idea for him, a chainsaw/buzz saw weapon would be cool for an MK character.
