Test Your Might

The Combo Breaker hype train is speeding on with no end in sight. We've got out Mr. Aquaman and the K&M Brothers on mic, we've got Forever King in a million money matches, and now we've got confirmation of Tekken Master and Tweedy finally settling their beef on Sunday in a live edition of The Clash. Continue...

Here's the schedule for The Clash, tonight on Stream.me. Should be a good show, as always, and there's that source crystal giveaway to look forward to. You've got 5 hours to get your schedule cleared out, I expect everyone to be there!

In a first for Stream.me, a sentient hot dog will make his first appearance on The Clash. There should also be a really diverse mix of characters to look out for, I'm spotting a Firestorm, Starfire, Enchantress, Cyborg and Swamp Thing at the very least. I've also been known to mix up people and their characters before, so don't blame me if it's just 5 Joker mirrors in a row. Regardless, should be fun! It's Firewall and Mr. Aquaman on mic tonight, and can watch everything go down over on Stream.me. Continue...

Coming in right after another commentator announcement, we just got word for our other Combo Breaker NRS hosts: PND Ketchup and PND Mustard will also be on mic duty, delivering the same top tier commentary they've been known and loved for to the first event in the Injustice Pro Series (Season 2). Continue...

For all you people who made the decision to buy and Xbox over a Playstation, you might have something to look forward to this week: the new sale is for Warner Bros. games and content! There's quite a few things y'all in the NRS scene might be interested in checking out. Continue...

Combo Breaker is a little over a week away. And with that comes the need for commentators: some people who can bring the hype on mic while providing valuable feedback on what is going on in the middle of a match. And one of the best in the business just announced that he is going to be hosting this first event in the Injustice Pro Series (Season 2). Continue...

TYM just got word from an inside source who has confirmed that there is an Injustice 2 Anniversary Multiverse up with some pretty stellar rewards. It seems like it's just a series of boss towers with no prior requirements needed to play through them. Continue...

Hot take: MK11, and the Mortal Kombat series as a whole, would almost certainly be better if the majority of your favourite characters weren’t in MK11.

STOP!

Before you go to the comments section to let me know why Kitana or Tanya or Sonya (it’s always one of those three fanbases, for whatever reason) is actually the greatest character conceived of by human minds and how they should be retroactively worked into every piece of fiction ever written, just hear me out.

My point is not that you should actually dislike your favourite characters, liking a character is inherently subjective and they’re almost certainly some of my favourites too, but the likelihood is that your favourite characters are drawn from amongst the more popular characters in the fandom already. This is only natural: certain characters are inherently cool or have an appeal which goes to multiple people for whatever reason.... Continue......

History Behind the Warrior is back with a new video in his "Old vs. New" series gearing us up for the release of MK11. This week, he's looking at the true Empress of Outworld, the offspring of Shao Kahn and Baraka, the person who puts the "fatale" in femme fatale: Mileena. Continue...

We have our lineup for The Clash tonight over on Stream.me. They are back from the Texas Showdown hiatus and are looking better than ever, with a Clash classic duo pairing of Mr. Aquaman and Echo hosting tonight's matches. Continue...

If you are new to the NRS scene, commit this to memory: always keep an eye out on Ed Boon's Twitter. Whenever we start to get closer to possible announcements, you'll see Boon posting teaser tweets suggesting some news coming in the future. Continue...

Starting May 17, Body Count Fighting is hosting an online tournament series in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, DRAGON BALL FighterZ, TEKKEN 7, and Injustice 2, awarding players their share of a $250 prize pool each week and points towards an online finals series at the end of the year. The winner of each game’s finals series at the end of 2018 gets a trip to LA and a paid feature match at a BCF event in 2019! More information at https://smash.gg/bcf.

When you think of Mortal Kombat, if you're anything like me and if you're a fan of a certain vintage, one of the first things you think of isn't Mortal Kombat at all, but Enter the Dragon. Continue......

Just because Combo Breaker is a few weeks away doesn't mean that there isn't any Injustice 2 action going down. Texas Showdown 2018 took place on Saturday, with a smaller, but stacked, Injustice tourney. The Top 8 had some familiar faces and some not as familiar faces, which you can catch in the very next paragraph that won't be on the main page: Continue...

In what should come as a massive relief to everyone craving something, anything, on MK11 and what’s next for NRS (which is all of us), we’ve just moved into the final stretch before E3. With NRS’ precedent of releasing initial launch trailers a week or so before E3, followed up by a gameplay reveal and a (very basic) demo at E3 itself, the finish line is hoving into view. Therefore, it’s time to start pondering what we’re going to see in a matter of weeks. Continue......

REO is back, with what appears to be a brand new series. If the title wasn't a giveaway, this is going to be a series that looks at the broken stuff from past NRS games (seemingly just MK9 for now) and examines just why "so-and-so was broken." This first part is, you guessed it, about Sonya Blade and everything she brought to the table NRS' return to 2D fighters. Continue...

Like Mortal Kombat? If you didn't, it'd be a little weird for you to be here. Like Fortnite? It's free and a lot of fun, go check it out if you haven't. Anyway, if you answered "yes" to both, then resident artist/Swamp Thing player Decay got something for you! Continue...

Hey guys, sometimes when you get bored and see your hard drive filled with many old streams/videos/sets etc. You come to realize that a lot of this never went public. So what do we do with that found knowledge? Assemble a lot of funny rage quits, salt, and anger into one massive video. This was originally... 3 hours so we cut it down to just the highlights and even that almost pulled an hours length. Without further ado, Seven Years of Salt! Continue......

A new glitch was discovered by (credit to Buffalo who brought it to my attention-HBH) that shows off some new dirt with Leo. His Legendary Gear augment that allows him to MB a trait call can apparently be done in competitive mode. This is absolutely not intended. Continue...

Apparently! Uncle JBeezY came across Max's video on my lunch break. With YouTube's new guidelines, having future MK content looks grim. And thats HORRIBLE news for ppl who like to show off tech, cool brutalities, ANYTHING Mortal Kombat! What does this mean for MK11 and the NRS community !?Question mark!? I, for one, am hella upset at this bull! What do you guys think? Is there any other ways to get around this? Continue...

Fantasy Football has become one of the worlds favourite pastimes. I just checked back to mine that I haven’t looked at since September to find I had Salah, Kane, De Bruyne and Firmino. So I’m winning everywhere. Which is something of a pyrrhic victory for a Man United fan. Continue......
