when i first played with kabal on mk3 he wasnt that much of a charater let me tell u something all i am saying is my opinion what r u getting worked up about

sure about that. who was the first character you picked. and be honest. everyone and they mother picked either scorpion, sub-zero and kabal. he even has an iconic name

kung lao

Man... you should really chill out with all the little kid insults. It's pretty annoying.
He is not iconic, of course you would think that because he is probably you're favorite character, but that does not make him iconic what so ever.

LOL. kung lao did kick ass too. did anyone ever beat you with kabal. i will answer for you. YES

thank u Purgatory but animosity nope! because no one uses him who played me

My first was Cyrax.

Second, Sindel. Third, Sheeva. Forth, Sheeva. Fith, Sheeva. Sixth, Sub-Zero. Seventh, Sindel. Eigth, Stryker. Ninth, Sheeva. Tenth... hell, it was Sheeva!

Sheeva was my favorite character in MK3. I did not play with Kabal until I saw his fatality, in which he removes his mask. I found it funny, and thought I'd give him a chance. Sure, the speed move was fun, but stomping on people's stomachs was much better. I returned to Sheeva.

The only thing I can say about Kabal is that he was hard to beat.

WHERE DID YOU COE FROM. MUST BE A KABAL HATER. anyway kabal is an icon. in your opion he is not. plus i bet if you ask anybody about him or tell them his finishing move, they will remember him

so that's why you don't like kabal. you played against him and lost.

they might remember him but does that make him an icon i whooped his ass

bet you played with him

I've been around for a while, just decided to make a new account.
And you're wrong actually, i like Kabal he is a great character. But I'm pretty sure everyone who is into MK remembers/knows Kabal.

And why are you so fixated on thinking that just because someone can "remember" him makes him iconic? it doesn't. He is a good character, but in a game like this, someone like Kung Lao or Johnny Cage deserves a slot more then Kabal does. You're immaturity amuses me.

lol. better hope he is not in, if he is, you wont whoop his ass then caused i'll play with him. lol. that was funny though

No, because he just wasn't any fun.

Neither were Nightwolf, Stryker, Sektor, and Kano. They all sucked in that game, IMO.

Alright, here's this. Quan Chi is my favorite MK character. I adore him. Love him. If I was gay, I'd fuck him. He was chosen to represent MK4. His big ass head is on the side of the arcade. Sure, he's popular, but he's no icon. Shang Tsung beat him to the punch a long time ago.

ha! that is funny i will school u in every mortal kombat game animosity u name it from the first game to the last

sorry if you think i'm immature. so tell me, what makes an icon. i thought an icon was someone you never forget about. sure he hasn't been in all the games but he is an icon. i guess an icon is someone who appeared in the first mk. sorry. no one after that is an icon. you're right kabal and all other characters after mk1 are not icons. i do think quan chi is, do you disagree with that too?

sure you will, if i let you. other than that, you have no chance. just wait til the game comes out and we are able to play online. better hope i don't remember you, if i do, it's over for you. and anyone else on here

your soul is mines

I'm clearly just saying that you don't need to argue with EVERYONE just because they don't agree with you. Everyone has an opinion, and you seem to not be able to understand that. If you think he is an icon, then hey have a tea party! just don't try and cram it down everyone else throats.

online u will never beat me

LOL. you right but i'm just on here making conversation. i'm at work and i'm bored. i had a tea party last night. it was nice.

As taken from dictionary.com, and icon is a sign or representation that stands for its object by virtue of a resemblance or analogy to it.

I'm going to make a list of the MK characters with an icon status.

Scorpion (who represents MK)
Sub-Zero
Liu Kang
Cage
Sonya
Shang Tsung
Shao Kahn
Sindel
Kung Lao
Raiden
Noob Saibot

I want you to try to figure out why they're icons.

Ah, nice list, but as much as i love Noob, i think he might have to be swapped out of there for Reptile, i mean being the first secret character and the fan base he has is pretty iconic imo.

those r the real icons

if he's such an icon, why was he the only character not included in the movie MK: Annihilation? which was the MK3 story to a tee. MK was ashamed of him thats why. LoL even Rain was in the movie!

he wasn't in MK4 either. Even when they released MK4: Gold, they had time to think "gee, what good characters can we add to this game that we missed the first time?" and whattaya know, Kabal didnt make the 2nd cut either.

just my opinion here so dont flame up, but to me, Kabal is at the top of the lame character list along with Bo'raiho, Kobra, Dairou, Kira, and Li mei

all of those are icons. i see you like noob though. see, you added your fav. i think icons are based on appearance, style, how different they are from the rest and will these be characters people will remember forever. oh, you didn't add Jax or kitana or Kano or baracka. do you think cyrax can be an icon. i mean yellow ninja who blew up thw world and ejected a green net. iconic moves
