Injustice at Final Round 17 will be remembered as one of the most exciting, unpredictable, and memorable tournaments of this game's tournament life. With one of the craziest, zaniest, and most thrilling nights of pools ever seen, the stakes were set high for today's Top 8. With no heavy favorites, the playing field seemed relatively even, and that made the action hard to predict. And to a large degree, the theme of the tournament was "balance" -- with a balanced, deep field of competitors and an apparently balanced game providing an opportunity for players of numerous characters to have a chance at victory.
Today's finals started off in rapid fashion, with Sonic Fox screeching to an extremely expedient victory over Noobe and 16 Bit making short work of Harold. Smarrgasm initially put up a good fight against PlayingToWin, but he was overwhelmed by an arsenal of Sinestro tech that had him guessing as to what move to make next. Executing well and seemingly ready for everything, P2W steamrolled through their second match with hardly a hiccup.
Orochi vs. REO started slowly, with both players feeling each other out. As REO backed away to chip with zoning bit by bit, Orochi took risks with Lantern's Turbine's Might to get in. But although Orochi's pressure was consistent and strong, REO weatherd the storm and used a judicious gamble with saved meter to eliminate Orochi's chances of saving himself with a clash. Their second game was close as well until a lightning-fast read by REO put Orochi back to fullscreen, letting REO chip him out to take the set.
In losers Harold kept things extremely tight against PlayingToWin, staying in his face the whole time and hardly allowing him any room to breathe. When P2W used his trait to edge out the first match, Harold fired back with some timely late reads to take Game 2. But P2W's extremely solid execution proved to be too much for Harold to overcome, as he hardly dropped a single input in a decisive Game 3 rout that ended Harold's impressive run. By the time he faced Noobe, REO looked to be warmed up and was extremely sharp as he carefully dissected Noobe's onslaught. After Noobe stampeded through the second game, the third turned into a desperate struggle as REO turned the tide with an expertly-placed super -- but Noobe battled back on his last legs of life, barely breaking through REO's defense and ultimately sending him out of the tournament.
A fantastic match between SonicFox and 16 bit eventually came down to Sonic's relentless point-blank pressure putting him over the edge. And after Noobe storrmed through all of PlayingToWin's offense with a barrage of armor and some withering corner pressure to secure himself the win, the stage was set between 16 bit and Noobe in Losers' Finals. After losing the first match with apparently incorrect controls, 16 Bit steamed back in a hurry and looked to be completely in command. Putting on a clinic, he utterly reduced Noobe's offense to shreds and never looked intimidated by any of Doomsday's options.
And although 16 Bit fought valiantly in Grand Finals, Sonic Fox's myriad of offensive options was simply too much to overcome. With vortexes and constant cartwheel pressure making the difference, Sonic expertly navigated himself to his very first Injustice major win, taking Final Round 17 and putting Batgirl at the top of an intimidating heap!
Important Note: Sonic's win in Mortal Kombat 9 on Friday makes him the first player to win both Injustice and Mortal Kombat 9 at the same major. In addition, he placed 3rd in DOA5.
