cR SonicFox Wins Mortal Kombat X at EVO 2015!

[Afumba]

Congratz to everyone & especially to SonicFox for winning it.

Was a great tournament with lots of hype stuff going on. Also glad that most europeans made it far into the tournament.

Sad that Honeybee didnt win it all though. I luv seeing his Dvorah play... soooo good.
Also an extra thanks to Milky for the extra hype... man you were awesome, thanks for the show.

viewership was at 180,000 at the end of grand finals. get hype

188,350 was the peak I saw before the numbers started going down.

I'm so glad Ketchup got to top 8. Some of his losses upset me the most but I really hope we haven't seen the last of him or his brother. I love watching them play. Bring the Sorccerer Quan Chi hype!

congrats sonic fox, nerf tanya, blockstring is ridiculous

Shout out to @SonicFox5000 for once again proving to be the Best of the Best on the Grandest stage in the FGC

Good to see Kitana in the mix, but I was sooooo ready for somebody else than Sonicfox to win this. In my book Honeybee or Grandpa deserved it. I feel like they didn't lose to Sonicfox, but they lost to Erron Black...

I agreed

EVEN MORE HYPE

Grats to everyone, but that top 8 felt way rushed and just went by too quick imho. I greatly enjoyed top 32 much more and was probably the most enjoyable stream experience for me in NRS games to date.

Congrats to Fox. Disappointed at Foxy's buzzsaw, looked rusty, costed him a good chunk of cash.
Now, the important stuff. Kitana op, next nerf: Kitana is -10 after landing or canceling a float

Had no choice but to use Buzzsaw, or we'd be switching between Kitana erron and tempest all set.

But tbh, sonic fox is better than me and deserved the win.

congrats sonic fox, nerf tanya, blockstring is ridiculous

"Do not touch me again."

(Her pressure is fine post-nerf given her damage reduction. Level up.)

 

[just_2swift]

But I know the Fox favorite colour $$$$$$$$

 

[xenogorgeous]

Sonic Fox is da man !! , no doubt the kid is a hella monster of player ! Major props and respect to him, and no argument here : he is the best.

Great show, though. He is a phenomenon but you and Honeybee both brought him the business.

When posters ask for buffs/nerfs in congrats threads, here is what I see...

Imo you just lacked practice with buzzsaw. He was a good back up plan, but not practiced enough.

While i had loved to see Honeybee or Foxy win it... Sonic won it not EB. Assuming anything else is pathetic.

I am nervous about KP2 after Boon tweeted that Alien image. I don't want more guests, even if that one would make a lot of sense as a rival for Predator.

I've actually had it pegged that they'd probably do Alien to rival Predator. I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Freddy come back to rival Jason either.

My original Kombat Pack 2 prediction was Rain, Fujin, Freddy, and Alien.

We'll see....although at the end of the day, I'd happily get Kombat Pack 2 regardless of who shows up.

I had a really good "America land of the free" joke set up but now I can't use it. Either way Canada and UK in der!!

Is this the first time a character swap in Grand Finals has paid off in a NRS tourney? Ran it BACK with Erron Black to reset the bracket and take the title.

Also props to you Sonicfox on your performance today. Last night, you had to face Honeybee's viciously good D'vorah right in the middle of your Skullgirls tournament as you went into Grand Finals. You had to run in the middle of that tourney to take him on and that is some SERIOUS mental gymnastics to perform to try and switch gears from Skullgirls to the mindset and tactics of MKX. I think by the time you had adjusted it was too late last night and it hurt to see you go out that way. You looked pretty flustered up there at that point.

Still, you recovered hard and took out your gatekeeper Honeybee in Losers Finals to make it and then won!

Congrats Sonicfox!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I think there will definitely be a female, and while the Alien is theoretically female I doubt that counts haha

It makes me nervous because I want my queen, obvs, and if they don't do all three of the Rain/Baraka/Sindel NPCs I feel like they won't do any of them.

I wouldn't be shocked if they did Fujin/Li Mei or Sareena/Alien/[Guest]. I'd be surprised if Freddy repeated, even though it would make sense.

 

[DEVILJ23]

Congrats @HoneyBee by taking 3rd place at Evo-2015, your Devorah is awesome!

 

[buyacushun]

Top 8 was hype all around. I think the players need to be more patient but MKx doesn't really lend itself to that. I wonder if foxy would've won had he switched back to ttempest.

 

[shaowebb]

Also props to Sonicfox for bringing us the moment when his opponent was desperate, they had magic pixel and he just threw caltrops and teabagged like mad in them early in Top8....prophetic because later that same scenario and toss of caltrops won him the tourney.

But tbh, sonic fox is better than me and deserved the win.

But if you went Tempest after the bracket reset, you would have in theory had the upper hand in the counter-picking fest if you win match 1. Regardless, there's no point in dwelling over that. Congrats on an amazing showing.
