In the Australian classifications fatality list they had Kabals fatality as "him pulling out their intestines with his hook swords". I think that's what Ed Boon hinted at when crossing the line.
I really believe that the first of all characters fatalities are going to be cut points and the rest of the fatalities will be something intricate like Kabal pulling out someone's intestines. I have a feeling. And my feelings seem to always be right so far.
And Kabal looks SICKENLY amazing. He's just looks absolutely beast like. I'm glad they kept his old feel altogether. I wouldn't have it any other way.
