Thank you so much for having me, Destroyer! Honestly a dream coming true for me to host these sets with you together!

[@ismailmuttaqien1203]

Rips, i'm also a subscriber of your channel. I just want to say you need to change your fatal blow or fatality heavy blur to something like they do in destroyer channel.

[@R1psArena]

@@ismailmuttaqien1203 I appreciate the feedback mate , but I unfortunately cannot do it because I’m supervised by KZbin Germany and we have way stricter rules than the na-side. Believe me , I tried .

[@eltxWTCH]

@@R1psArenamaybe a decent step would be at least showing the health bars. That way we can follow the hype of ‘will it kill’

[@ismailmuttaqien1203]

@@R1psArena ok rips i understand now, doesn't matter dude i enjoy your content anyway

[@georgewhite3708]

COTR X RIPS ARENA is the best idea EVER. I can't express how happy I am that you guys finally did a collab, you both are literally my favorite MK tournaments.

[@Nadie1789]

This man Six had to fight that number of Liu Kangs lmao. He finished the tournament with quite the matchup knowledge.

[@BinarPilot.]

This is a comedy podcast with a MK1 tournament in the background. Edit: Don't get me wrong now, I'm not complaining at all. In fact, I LOVE Destroyer's commentary and the fact that he is not commentating the match and making me laugh instead is the biggest reason of why I've been watching him for the past 5 years. Other tournaments are too serious for my liking.

[@jedielg8955]

This is mostly Destroyer's commentary style. That's how Champions of the Realms work with Caboose as well. They do commentate, but they chat and have some fun making jokes and talking about real life stuff in between

[@LWMEDKIA397]

This is also why I watch Destroyer 😂 he’s hilarious 😂

[@laad-raptaverse3020]

Rewind, kombat and ninja would help destroyer alot. If we don't get some of those heavy hitters, destroyer's team is done 😂

[@kamo124]

sooneo's zoning made me root for peacemake

[@takamuratheog]

dawg those pokémon sounds were spot on im fucking dying 😂😂😂😂😂

[@giamagico]

Let's go Destroyer! R1ps doesn't know he has chosen war...with a God, and this time it's not Liu Kang

[@bonesaw36]

What an amazing combination of two legendary fighting game hosts. More of this please!

[@AquarianSara25]

LET’S GOOOOO! Hype!! 😁👏🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@0is0]

Caci pp X bald german is too OP

[@Etdemartes]

Zooneo and onlinecale PM is my favorites to Watch 😁

[@salvadorlecheese]

you some type of creature then huh

[@Gen965]

I'm ready for the intense action. R1p is back, lets get it!!!🌴🐊🌴 💥👊🏾😎💯🏁🏆

[@6spider4]

Can't wait for the finale keep it up you two

[@Almtyhalfbreed]

I think T1000 might play like Baraka

The 2k of fighting games

[@timelessspectre6049]

Sooneo is really so easy to dislike as a player. So much so that everytime he gets humbled I feel that dopamine high. 🥰

[@Ninjalife916]

Mk movie costumes are the best skins , they did a great job

[@justinarmaly]

Thanks for the action destroyer you the man! Please beg ninjakilla to play. It's been so long since we seen him compete!

[@MEETHEGROUCH]

NRS had one job, well they had a few. But when it came to Reiko, they needed to get him right. He was requested for the longest. This is not the Reiko remembered and wanted from MK4. Where's his Weird Upside Down Kick and Air Teleport Slam that he had from Noob. His slide is alright but this isn't anything close besides the Ninja Stars to what he was. He had all the potential to bring back that Nostalgic Feel like Fujin in MK4. NRS needs to fix him and give him his Upside-down Kick and Teleport.

[@MEETHEGROUCH]

And we also need that Spear in game to be apart of his moveset. Not just limited to his Fatal Blow and Character Select Screen. All of this would put Reiko in a better light.

[@TheRebelMerchant]

Tragic Memes was fire 🔥 🔥 😮 ontop of that smoke buff 🤣

[@BenTower17]

That's nice Scorpy gameplay 👍

[@AlucardTepes-sl6rb]

[@jeffreyh9908]

that first liu kang was lame

[@KarmaTrauma22]

Crazy when he said "do you eat humans to?" Had me dying laughing

[@aaronmulenga8937]

Can't wait for the team battle

[@TooLiveTev704]

i think it would be cool to get a quick interview of the winner at the end of the tournament

[@GazponGamin9]

wow dude you got some serious skills

[@713tilidierippimpc5]

Also, just my opinion, i feel like Peacemaker woulda made a bad ass Kameo, but hes super annoying to fight against.

[@skitzo899]

what if they make the t-1000 like blue beetle where he switches to his blades

[@malikmonroee3748]

Hey destroyer can you identify which player is COTR and ARENA during the sets.

[@wlfcudangel6186]

Six was the sickest scorpion ever!🔥🔥

[@do313oy]

That Tbag was something serious 🤣☠️

[@SteveDarby-uy1tq]

Much love guys..great job!!!

Im Honestly Thinking Of Doing A Mkx Set With Fivetwenty Or Dreamybull

Destroyer what is this bracket?!? You need team USA! not team ABC!

[@blujguitar6520]

Dude facts, Rips was saying Kanimani and EU best players this and that and gassing them up, but the reality is US best players aren't even in this team. We all know if the twins, Sonic, and Ninjakilla were all here they wouldn't stand a chance. It's like a nerf real talk.

[@R1psArena]

@@blujguitar6520 please always keep in mind that it's just supposed to be friendly banter! :)

[@benedictnwoguji7005]

​​@@blujguitar6520 first of all It's not that deep and The twins aren't from usa

[@blujguitar6520]

@@benedictnwoguji7005 replace twins with Xombat and MightyUnjust then. I'm chill guys lol. I think you misinterpreted my tone (easy through text). I'd just love to see an actual best vs best competition. THAT would be awesome! 💯 It's like if the Avengers and Justice League fought, but Batman and Superman were missing. It'd feel like a tease lol

[@OpenMiker-rp4eo]

Sidenote: Justice League is basically all the DC superheroes. It should be JL, Teen Titans, Doom Patrol, etc. vs Marvel superheroes: Avengers, X-Men, etc. 😂

No lie i smacked OnlineCale in regular VS matches. wish we can post pics cuz i took some lol

Yeah good luck against faysal and kanimani... You'll need sonic and ninja

[@rubenfigueroa7046]

Tragic memes tho😳😳😳😳😳

[@blujguitar6520]

God the risk-free zoning is painful to watch :/ It feels like "rock-paper-scissors?" "Gun..." I really hope the meta shifts against it at some point 🙏🏻

[@Nathan-bj2vz]

i think the meta is more focused around mix than zoning given how strong ferra is

[@blujguitar6520]

@@Nathan-bj2vz it just seems like "how can I not play neutral and still win? Gimme my effortless win please" meta. It sucks because the neutral and footsies is the most entertaining part of fighting games :/

[@Nathan-bj2vz]

@@blujguitar6520 true but i guess thats the nature of assist fighting games. Do unsafe shit, make it safe with kameo, back up and zone until kameo bar is full again
