COMBO BREAKER 2023 - Killer Instinct Tournament Top 8 Finals

[@hotzauhse]

ItzTyme2Dul vs Raven Is Raw set was fucking crazy 😮 insane stuff from both of them

[@AbouTheMagnanimus]

Never thought I would see a Kim Wu and Kilgore in Top 8, let alone Grand Finals like that. Man, I love this game. I wish I still had time to play. Congrats to SonicDolphin.

[@irina1296]

I was rooting for Nicky as usual but other players surprised me. SonicDolphin made wonders with Kim Wu. He seems a nice guy

[@cbiddy9691]

Thanks Spooky for uploading these amazing matches

[@diamonddog0016]

Incredible finals and amazing production

[@reticentexo]

What have we learned? Do not taunt SonicDolphin.

[@gwitch]

Sonic not even realizing he won and being confused why the game wasn't continuing was so endearing. Great games!

[@rabbyd542]

That Aria gameplay in the first match was insane.

How am I just now realizing how sick this game is man.

[@naejimba]

It was WAAAAAY ahead of it's time in so many ways.

[@SomniaCE]

Legit made Aria look like a bannable boss character in the first set

[@dabay408]

Never knew about that extreme zombie guy but hes for sure the best Aria hands down. Great player!

[@FartyMcgooo]

i was rooting for Alexv up until the first game of the grand finals. he was excitable in the earlier parts of the tournament but idk i found his behavior eventually got on my nerves and seemed unsportsman like. dont get up in people's face in the middle of the grand finals. that said, i look forward to his future as a KI player

[@AphexArcade]

It was his first offline ever and he was just having fun with the KI homies. He didn't mean anything bad about it and plus, he knows everyone that attended lol. He was just soaking in all the good vibes and having fun with everyone

[@xxdizannyxx]

Oh cry, he was just having fun. You have to turn a fun exited man and event into a behavioral examination?

[@VeggeMight]

Made seeing him get dumpstered so good thou.

[@samokuma9596]

The way Nicky got bodied in the first match... Man, I was not ready for this. Extreme zombie just... nickyed him.

[@Salesman]

This was by far the best tournament game at combo breaker 2023. The game and it's players delivered.

[@AlexVazco]

I was never disrespectful or unsportsmanlike, on the contrary, got to share the stage with legends on my first offline and I was hyping everyone up, specially Zombie since we go back and Sonic since it was Grand Finals and he was the only one that matched the energy while we were playing, and he was playing out of his mind too. GGs always 💪🐸💚

[@boogerbeans]

You were hype af bro ! 🤘

[@AlexVazco]

@@boogerbeans appreciate it! I didn't take in consideration a lot of the offline interaction gets lost in the stream, but it's all part of the show 😁

[@bellenber]

I watch Nicky's weekly tournaments, was rooting for him. I wish we could get another KI, it's one of the best fighting games to watch.

[@Tholius]

2:14:00 Is that coaching allowed? Sonic didnt look happy. If Alex ended up winning, would that have been more controversial?

[@Ithritable]

Can we just appreciate that Kilgore won a championship. I mean it was Sonic, but I still think that's awesome.

[@eligozdiff5038]

Yeah ik, he is usually considered a lower B-teir character as well. Pretty sick

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

What a crazy tournament, you know the competition was fierce when heavy hitters such as Letalis, Wheels and SMV couldn't make it into top 8.

[@whizthesugoi]

Wait i wasnt expecting to see a KI Top 8 this weekend but thos is a sweet find

[@tonymedina2643]

😂 those vibes died down real quick at the end..

[@phoenixlich]

The most memorable grand final at CB for me!

[@samokuma9596]

Come on Phil. It's time to give us KI 2.

[@kilyk21]

I like the guys who comment. Very good job.

[@henrih137]

Thank you for the upload #bringbackKI

[@ErinMercurial]

Great to see Kilgore with a tourney win! that was sooooo awesome! Great job Sonic Dolphin! I didnt really care for this AlexV guys stage demeanor.

[@AphexArcade]

Alex was just having fun. It was his first offline ever and he was enjoying time with the KI community and trying to hype up folks. He didn't mean any ill will about it.

[@ErinMercurial]

@@AphexArcade I thought he was the kid with long hair that got up in someones face a year or so ago? Was that in MK11?? I swear I thought it was the same guy lol. Regardless if he didnt mean anything by it... it can really make the other player on stage feel uncomfortable. ..which is unnecessary IMO.

[@AphexArcade]

@FallofSeraphs no, that was Buffalo vs Scar lol completely different person. Alex never traveled to offlines, he's a very busy dude(he's actually the one that did Combo Breakers theme song and other FGC events).

[@ErinMercurial]

@@AphexArcade Cool! It was a damn good match either way. I enjoyed it!

[@AphexArcade]

@FallofSeraphs oh for sure! I was hella stressing watching Alex vs Sonic in person lmaooo

[@ninesehyper]

bro was shaking so much and confused. He didnt even realize he won LMAO

[@namenoname3295]

This game is amazing to watch and play. I think I realized why it's not more popular and it's because people are not smart enough to play if

[@snakebebop]

Yeah it was amazing to watch a spam fest for grand finals.

Hisako would be a sick guest character on MK1.

[@dancovich]

What the hell! I've never received a forced controller update message in all my years owning a Xbox One and Series. I didn't even knew such a message existed!

[@IntergalacticPirateRadio]

You know it's almost funny in a deeply ironic way that Windows would do an update in the middle of a tournament. Imagine if that happened at a League event..

[@NickyIovene]

nope I'm not! I just got outplayed :) Thanks for watching!

[@taurvanath]

@NickyFGC LMAO. Thanks for the reply! I think you were both of equal skill sets, he just had more ways to deal with your offense than you did his defense.

[@greatbryan2484]

You can see the amount of hours these players invest in the game for these tournaments. Every frame is deliberately considered and studied.

[@1fareast14]

Great switch into Kilgore by Sonic, obviously. The aggression paid off, but moments like 2:16:43 show how dicey things really were.

[@DragonFang253D]

Oh man at 2:08:30 when sonic got up and hit alex, alex was just casually backing up he had to of thought that was end of first life, if he didnt think it was he would have done something besides just walking backwards.

[@Coolbird00]

Whatever happened to Hollywoodsleep❔❓🤔

He moved on from the game but also life happened. Man's doing good though! He's bought and has been refurbishing a new home recently.

The very final reminded me of finals in Tekken 4. Spaming same thing over and over again with a Jin. Can anybody explain to me as I do not play this game, why the other player could not do much against Killgore who was shooting and countering by doing Shoryou ken ? Not my game tho but I really want to understand, is the winning character an OP like Jin in Tekken 4 ?

[@EternumTagerMain]

Funnily enough, Rash is the best character in the game while Kilgore is barely outside Top 10. I guess Sonic had him figured out.

[@yme4me]

@@EternumTagerMain hmm so it is like using yoshimitsu in tekken against some other op character. In that case looks like killgore user found a way, cheers for explaining.

[@VeggeMight]

Man seeing a guy with cocky popoff's get dumpstered is so good.
