The players were outstanding. But I would like to see the developer who decided on the armour portal and push portal deal with that pressure. They seem extremely strong with very little counterplay.
Yeah I've been watching since Rambo too loved him for that. His Quan is a menace. I mean beat 🐝 and Val is crazy with tremor I feel like he won tbh the kenshi kinda boring
Honeybee Roethor match was amazing. I was rooting for Honeybee, but I can’t be mad since Roethor is one of my favorite are arena players to watch. His Quan is insane.
I hate sindel the most out of every character in mk1 tbh. She has everything and when you say anything, twitter people start saying "you get mothered". Honestly a high tier character that isn't even entertaining to watch, Idk why she has so many fans. At least kenshi is entertaining to watch
I just wanna say R1ps. i don't understand how your channel doesn't have way more recognition. the thumbnails, the commentators, the setup, the presentation. literally everything is always so well done. i just joined the discord and even it is perfect. You deserve more and thank you for all you do for the community. Huge inspiration (yes i know i'm glazing)
If Kanimani couldn't get his Kenshi to even be a threat at Final Kombat says a lot about those guys at EVO. Those are some dangerous cats. Could R1PS get Dyloc as a hidden pro player in the next challenge? Im interested to see what I was hoping to witness from SOSED
@@Cdoom541 Remember he has not been on that level before. It was new territory and the inexperience showed. It's his best performance in MK1 RIPS ARENA history. We can't fault him though coz we couldn't do it ourselves 😀
I can't believe SOSED didn't make it. The moment he started thinking about the match in the quarter finals, he lost two in a row. A guy who beat honeybee 3-0 should have been playing in the finals. But I know he is a slower learner compared to the Kanimani types. However, just like in MK 11 ULTIMATE, once he has full mastery, he will be too good like he was with KOLLEKTOR and GERAS
@@FoBs2007he was doing well with shao but then switched off to geras and got put into losers. The shifting of characters imo is why he lost his streak lol. He was unstoppable with shao before he made the switch
Agreed. There should be a balanced between cashing out all the damage with sento and reducing the time but also making his frames better to stealth the sword to actually switch between effectively
Grand finals is here and mr aquaman is with us, the commentary team has been golden. Spoilers ahead. Match1: Well as soon as i saw the matchup i was pretty sure KK would win cause of motaro but Val made it alot harder than i thought it really came down to the wire i have no idea how he pulled it off to fight this hard but he did. Excellent mirror. Match2: Well i am super bummed that sosed did not make it and since he didnt make it i expect kanimani to win i would be betting money on him if i could. Roethor did the same mistake one too many times and it cost him badly. Match3: Yuvility really needs to polish homelander, the drops are painful in a match of this caliber. Val could do it even without the unnecessary openings, but his pressure combined with many missed opportunities and some input errors from yuvi gave him the win. Match4: Well this is an artform you gotta love both players for doing their thing without giving a single care for tiers or anything else. Just two amazing players brawling it out and bringing the best out of each other. Match5: Kk vs kanimani was a predictable win for kani but like most times i didnt think it would be THAT easy, how good is this guy. Match6: Well this was a tough one sindel sub is a pain for quan but somehow roethor without even changing kameos, he grits through it all. Val throws everything at him but somehow roethor clutches every time executing his gameplan. Match7: Another sindel fight and at this point roethor must be tired. He started showing some signs of fatigue, in the end kk takes this after another unforgiving match but Roethor will remain a star in our hearts, he is the true low tier god. I wonder if he is actually as good as ninja, sonic, kani and he just restrains himself to low tier characters just to give others a fighting chance. Finals: Well as i thought, finals arent much to look at its kanimani destroying his opponent with Kenshi. Some people find kenshi boring or are annoyed with his playstyle but these are puppet characters, nrs players just arent used to that archetype in fighting games cause its a japanese thing. We had carl clover in blazblue or zato=1 in guilty gear and they were always strong characters cause you could control more than one entities. And sento is easier to stop than carl's nirvana believe me. This requires masterful execution and a hard to play character should be rewarding the player for mastery.
Really enjoyed watching this. All players played well and as I play characters similar to him I love watching roethors quan chi cause he makes him work even in the hardest situations. Rotheor Vs. Honey Bee and Val vs. Kitana Khan were my favs. Can't wait to play in Season 7 👊
Kenshi in MK1 is one of the cheapest characters in NRS history IMO! The clone last way to long, and the chip damage alone from the clone is crazy work!
That chip damage is an improvement compared to what it used to be. And until we start seeing Kenshi everyone in top 8's in OFFline majors nothing will be done. Enjoy the Kanimani show
I remember Kenshi in MK9 being one of the only if not the only character with some 8-2 match ups due to his insane armor and zoning keeping people across the screen the entire match while chipping you to death.
"Who can stop Kanimani?" Probably one of the top 4 players in MK lol but in all seriousness, this was cool to watch, was mostly rooting for Roethor, he always plays the most interesting characters
Great matches today! Were fun to watch. Also, remove kenshi please. Nerf the hell out of his unfun ass, make sento last less, do less chip damagr and give sento haps on his attacks
Another amazing season (even though Kanimani’s mere presence makes it very predictable lol). I think it would be awesome if you and Destroyer would somehow be able to set up a first to 10 between your 2 champions at the end of each season.
Bit late and missed the stream too but hype matches! Bit bummed that khamogatt didn't make it to top 8 but then I saw the bracket and saw he lost to my goat honeybee so it's all good. Can't say I didn't see kanimani winning again. Roethor had my hyped tho.
Ah man great run but really sucks we just skipped two elimination rounds when we fully could’ve seen all competitions in the top 8 players… especially after some of the wins last time and just not getting to see the end rounds of those players. I know not everything is streamed, but with such a small final cast for the finale it’s a bit disappointing those were cut.
you really gotta try him, he's not as easy as you imagine. combos are a rhythm game yes, but adjusting and optimizing sento to each specific situation is far from just pressing buttons
@@Hodie_Cras lol. I can play him. I just stopped because it’s pretty boring. It’s like a free win character. That’s why I like Quan Chi so much. If you win, you know you really earned it and outplayed your opponent. You can’t really outplay somewhen when you’re using Kenshi. You just get sento out and corner them. Pretty easy.
@@R1psArena lol. Nah G. I’m not a pro. I play Quan Chi and Takeda, (2 Bottom Tiers) Not Kenshi, I have played Kenshi against my bros in HCW, and it’s boring. And easy.
Saying kanimani has no talent is disrespectful lol. Kanimani has proved himself in offline, went to final kombat and won several arena grand finals. Put some respect on his name
@@abdullahharoon253 the entire tournament he used kenshi/Stryker. If he wants respect, he can try winning without using a broken team lmao. Only thing he proved is how carried he is
kenshi has gotta be one of the most boring characters to watch in the game. Everyone else, absolutely love seeing what people come up with but Kenshi is the same as Sareena. Constant borefest. Anyway, watching this channel has become almost a daily joy for me. Keep em comin guys
R1PS for a better and safer tournament you gotta ban Kanimani cuz that dude is so damn dangerous with Kenshi 😅😅...he's a threat to the Mortal Kombat community.
@lordlundin6495 can't you see laughing emojis mate. I love Kanimani to the core. Dude is so good. It's a funny comment, don't know how u took it in 🤷♀️
@@otegajoel I actually don't, I just don't think it's fair to ban people. I didn't realize it was a joke, so my bad. I've seen some really hot takes on here so people do say that and mean it.
I don't see the the meta shift at all, still the hard to blockables by Sindel and Kenshi (the most broken character of all time), Johnny is still top tier. Kani only wins because he plays the most broken characters, I wanna see him pick Reptile and make it to top 8
Everyone did their respective thing but i think Roethor is the winner of this tournament. To get hat far with Quan is nothing short of amazing. I was pulling for Val too just for he tremor tech but it is kinda disappointing t see kani kenshi win again. I kno id do the same to win the pot but just ugh. No hate its just boing. Woulda rather seen him play raka or johnny ferra wiulda been tough her mixups with johnny are disturbing

@@ralphwarom2514 bro quan is literally almost the worst character in the game and you’re complaining about the little sauce he has going for him
Put some respect on Roethor . This dude is wicked amazing with Quan... Don't underestimate the Warlock warlord
I feel it! I been on the roethor hype train since rambo
he was unbeatable with rambo i miss those days 😂
Who disrespected him?
Yeah I've been watching since Rambo too loved him for that. His Quan is a menace. I mean beat 🐝 and Val is crazy with tremor I feel like he won tbh the kenshi kinda boring
Sikander is still better than him
Now Rips and Mr Aquaman?! The commentary these last 2 days has been crazy awesome! What a finale from 64 to top 8. Best ones ive watched!
Honeybee Roethor match was amazing. I was rooting for Honeybee, but I can’t be mad since Roethor is one of my favorite are arena players to watch. His Quan is insane.
Roethor needs to start streaming or open an TH-cam channel.
Dude is by far the most entertaining to watch in this game.
Great run.
agreed
Ya always fun to watch. MK11 Rambo was great too
I stream on twitch sometimes c:
Watching that Sindel on Sindel projectile action was like seeing two Karens argue:
Screw you!...Nah, screw you!...Nah screw you!
I literally skipped
@@tytrips8475same. i tried to watch for val but had to skip to next match
I hate sindel the most out of every character in mk1 tbh. She has everything and when you say anything, twitter people start saying "you get mothered". Honestly a high tier character that isn't even entertaining to watch, Idk why she has so many fans. At least kenshi is entertaining to watch
Boring asf
don't get me wrong i'm not complaining.
i found it funny but i liked the match

Anyone watching this can clearly see that Kenshi's Sento is broken.

TH-cam is still watching more than online😅 thank you guys, especially for Mr Aqua. You guys have made my day a little bit better again😊😊
I'm Canadian!!! 🇨🇦
Big fan 😀🌺 Nice combos man. If I may, I'd like to ask for your opinion directly. Do you think sento & kenshi is unfair ?
Nice gameplay man.
Been avoiding spoilers, closing my eyes while typing this comment. So hyped to see this top 8.
ROETHOR WHYYYY DO YOU TRY THE TELE STOMP??? You did amazing though. The balls you have to play Quan Chi against Kenshi is truly respectable.
@@Cdoom541 The adrenaline was pumping. He wasn't able to control it on the momentum he had
@@spe-entertain you right I probably wouldn’t have been thinking right too and made a mistake
i wanted him to win so bad

Val truly makes Sindel look like the queen of outworld
Damn Kenshi needs a nerf 😂
NRS really needs to reduce the Sento time on Kenshi.

This could be my new favorite MK channel 😂👊😎
amazing season bro was glad to be here although i did awful in the bracket. im hoping to do much better in season 7🙏
Awful? It took Kanimani to break your streak. Take that shit with pride
Man you are amazing, didnt take long for me to become a fan. I hope all the Sindel mains find a way to break past Kenshi, Kanimani a bully lol.
@@Designation6 i meant in the finals i only got to top 16 cause i choked
I really really hate watching Kani's Kenshi, I really hope an answer is found quickly
9:12 sorry I can’t 😂😂 I had to skip match 1
Gotta say , Roethor's Quan Chi is really dope. Making me want to play him. 💪🏼💪🏼
Hi Rips. Glad I could catch the vid the minute it came out.

yeah and kenshi won how many tournaments, exactly? It's not champion, it's Kanimani.
Why is the external audio on this channel so good? It's like oil is leaking from my ears. 😍
Just finished watching the Twitch stream, Glad to be there for the first time.👍🏾
49:33 sindel has been able to punish breakers since the beginning of this game
Days 4 of asking for rips to start a merch brand (I’m not gonna stop asking)
This is the most impressive HoneyBee I have seen so far. He played his heart out
so enterteining final, no johnnys no omnibalds ;p that was great to watch
That kenshi sento spam is absolute bs, they need to nerf spawn time or his duration as that's wild broken.
it's not kenshi. it's kanimani.
You are totally right, that needs to be nerfed asap
Are there plans to hold tournaments for the Khaos Reigns dlc characters when they come out
Words cannot express the extent to which Kitanakahn devoured this tournament ❤
Thanks for not spoiling with the thumbnail
roethor's run is my roman empire had me screaming at the screen every round
"Who can stop Kanimani?" Probably one of the top 4 players in MK lol but in all seriousness, this was cool to watch, was mostly rooting for Roethor, he always plays the most interesting characters
How can you not root for Roethor?!
It was crazy if Destroyer gathered his team from his tournament, and Rips from the arena. It was a battle of the century!!! Please organize🥹🥹🥹
I was thinking the same exact thing, like collab for a whole season at least would be crazyyyy, but I feel like scheduling would be tuff.
i know that they were talking about doing that months ago. i don’t know what happened to it though.
Great matches today! Were fun to watch. Also, remove kenshi please. Nerf the hell out of his unfun ass, make sento last less, do less chip damagr and give sento haps on his attacks

15:28 pretty sure there's no gap there it's her plus frames right? Plus I think that jails into sareena so prolly jails into horseboy as well
Are you really a good player if you play Kenshi? Seems like you can do whatever you want with no consequence when the wraith is out.

So glad sindel got WASHED at the end
Everyone did their respective thing but i think Roethor is the winner of this tournament. To get hat far with Quan is nothing short of amazing. I was pulling for Val too just for he tremor tech but it is kinda disappointing t see kani kenshi win again. I kno id do the same to win the pot but just ugh. No hate its just boing. Woulda rather seen him play raka or johnny ferra wiulda been tough her mixups with johnny are disturbing
I'd sell a kidney to just be half decent as any of these players on the screen
val absolutely destroyed yuvility, great set
Do you also watch this video in sunglasses? 😊
Am I the only one who thinks the whole sento gimmick is unfair?! I mean poor sindel got hit FROM BEHIND and OUT OF FRAME
Unlucky HB 👊😎💙
And put sonic fox or ninjakilla on that kenshi
They were betting on Sento. Nerf Kenshi my god. Sento is out wayyy too long
8 seconds blocking kenshi's pressure...
I love you R1ps
Rohethor every day wow
Let’s gooooooo
Do a tournament where you ban the S tier players
Woooooo
Val come on bro!!!! Let's gooooooooo!!!!
