Just wanna apologize to that guy in the stream chat that I told MKX top 8 was starting in 2 hours, when it was really starting in 10 minutes. Didn't think you'd actually believe me lol

Kitana needs more buffs. She got resetted. Maybe 1 or like 17 would be fine

Props to slayer for representing the shaolinkrew, the reset was hype. A win would have been god tier but it was still good to see for us shaolin mains

 

[Slymind]

Congratulations to Fox.

That was a great GF, Slayer was superb as well.

Overall the tournament was stacked, you could make mutiple top 8s with different players and you would still have extremely high level gameplay. The footsie game was above everything i've seen so far. Congratulations everyone

And special props to my countryman Killer Xinok, great display, your JC is beast.

 

[Apologia X]

Good stuff to Slayer. Godlike reactions and conversions. One of the few that can hang with Fox.

 

[Protagonist_1]

Congrats to Sonicfox. Sick grandfinals, great display of zoning and spacing. Also, the conversions were ridiculous.

Good shit to both Fox and Slayer. Grand finals was great.

 

[Schuyler]

Slayers anti airs were on point. Kung jin already has great anti airs but slayer being the vet that he is mixed with the bo staff those anti airs really did slayer lots of good.

 

[SHAOLIN]

Critical Reaction is on the rise...

 

[Renzokuken]

Seeing Slayer take Shaolin Kung Jin to a stacked major grand final alone was insanely hype to watch. He played with everything he got, but alas, Fox was just unstoppable.

Kitana needs more buffs. She got resetted. Maybe 1 or like 17 would be fine

Kung Jin clearly needs 30 buffs. He resetted Kitana and still lost.

 

[PetulantWaste]

Stop me, oh Oh oh, stop me. Stop me if you feel like you've heard this one before....

 

[Javierich0]

I couldn't believe what slayer was getting away with chakram is like -20 on block 0 on hit, the ex version are 0 and -1 on block. Props to him for those sick conversions and AAs.

 

[Eldriken]

With all the jumping that was going on in the Top 8, I thought I was watching an online tournament.

 

[TackyHaddock]

Damn right, the frame data is awful. I would be happy with regular being -11 on block 2 on hit, ex versions around +5 on block.

 

[Laos_boy]

Plese nerf that ridiculous character.
