Skullgirls 2nd Encore Results – Combo Breaker 2022

All the Skullgirls enjoyers couldn't wish for a more entertaining final bracket at the event like COMBO BREAKER. Some big upsets and equally big surprises happened last night, and we're here to swiftly recap everything that happened in the Top 8.

Upper Bracket

Both semi-finals ended up equally one-sided as dekillsage overwhelmed Cloud and SonicFox sent Triviality to the Losers bracket in a 3-0 fashion. SonicFox continued their dominant performance in the Winners Finals against their teammate dekillsage, but a little mistake of using level 3 super instead of level 5 denied them another 3-0 victory. Nevertheless, they jumped swiftly into the Grand Finals with a 3-1 victory.

Lower Bracket

The lone samurai, penpen, didn't come all the way from Japan to the COMBO BREAKER stage to be eliminated early. They made quite an impressive run through the lower bracket, taking down WingZero, Triviality, and Cloud on the way. Dekillsage stood on their way to the Grand Finals, and what a match it was. Both athletes showed their peak performance, with penpen coming out victorious in the closest set possible with a 3-2 win.

Despite being unstoppable in the Pools and Top 24 stage, Triviality, the Final Blockbuster champion, fell short of showing they're truly capable of, causing one of this night's biggest upsets.

Grand Final

Seemingly nothing could stop SonicFox on their way to becoming the COMBO BREAKER champion. However, penpen had different plans for this Grand Final. Japanese player did not let SonicFox breathe from start to finish, first in the Grand Final, then in the Reset. There was no room for SonicFox to respond during both sets, and it all ended with a 6-0 victory for penpen, who became a COMBO BREAKER 2022 Skullgirls Champion. And who's to say they didn't deserve it?
