Combo Breaker is back this year, and it’s bigger than ever. Big 3 games are all out – Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 are getting the numbers, and the rest of the roster isn’t slacking either. In total, we have more than 20 events in Chicago this year, but for now, let’s take a look at MK1.
In what was one of the strongest top 8s ever seen, we had several favorites to win the event. SonicFox, MK’s undisputed GOAT. The Chilean brothers, Ninjakilla_212, and even TheMightyUnjust, who’s in great form. In the event that was dominated by Peacemakers, the main entertainment was SonicFox’s answers to the pick – they played Sindel, Omni-Man, and even unleashed Nitara against Johnny Cage. But ultimately, Nicolas was incredibly clutch all tournament-long, and managed to defeat the Fox 3:2.
