Hey Everyone Here's our "Highlight" Video of the $200,000 Final Kombat TOP8 Finals with our personal Match Highlights. You can find the full 7 Hour Tournament on the official NRS channel. I thought this video might be helpful for people, who are looking for a shorter breakdown/matches only. The Footage was recorded during our Community Watchparty, so my apologies for us talking over the great commentators. Thank you for Watching!
I was so happy for you getting the name drop in the middle of the tournament! Hearing you get so excited for VideoShangzYo and Mr Dreamy Faysal was like listing to a proud father cheer on his kids, especially on Fathers Day ❤ Ty would be so proud of you man! 💜
@@n1mand there are more ways to nerf kharacters than changing movesets... also the better option would be to make the whole roster as good as Johnny, nerfs suck.
So true. I hate watching top 8 because of this reason. 90% of the time it's the same 2-3 meta picks butting heads and it gets real boring real fast. Peacemaker especially is so boring to watch. Eagly + shield + tornado x infinity.
I do want buffs to the rest of the cast, but the issue is at the highest level of competetive play, there will always be a best character, without an exception, so it makes sense if you play for the money that you pick the characters with the greatest moveset and highest success rate.
and getting the clean round. he ultimately choked and then the last interaction was just sad. he blocked the first hit overhead standing but this poorly executed game gave khamaleon fast 2-hits overhead that even when the first hit is blocked, it doesn't keep you in block stun(standing) to block the second one.
@@CTheProfessor that ball roll was lucky as fuck in the corner the block stun from the ball roll doesn’t leave you in the right position. It forces you in a different stance.
no they dont. it made the tournament boring. i cant tell you how many matches i skipped even though i was watching the live stream. every time i see Johhny or Peacemaker, i just leave and come back later
@@tygersen7513 sure, it was boring, but I'm sure people taking home 100 grand don't care too much about your opinion. It's on NRS, not the player. Also, the fact they played boring does not negate their skill level. Often more casual high level play or mid to high is more fun and engaging, not alpha sweat I will do anything and everything to win a life changing amount of money.
I think there's no debating that sonicfox is a goat at nrs games and continues to dominate!! Also I'd say top 3 right now is Sonic, Nicolas, and Ninja. With Unjust following close behind. Although i feel if characters get buffed up or peacemaker gets nerfed, more people might be in the conversation.
Until someone matches Sonic fox level of mind games it's going to be difficult anyone to beat him long term... For example not using johnny cage's ex tach throw to disable your throw for 8 seconds.. He never used that the entire tournament until the final just to knowledge check ninjakilla and get in his head... That he is ready for anything... Ninjakilla was shook the rest of the set..
@@lordlundin6495 exactly!!! Now imagine someone doing that to you in a grand final that would get into your head... It should be a mechanic every character should have
@@cudknacks not that exact same mechanic, but other stuff like it. It's pretty evident where the love went though - some characters are dead ass boring - Baraka, Liu (I'm getting hate for this one), Havoc ... others are just amazing. Star power, sento, float / cammio manipulation, morphing ...
@@lordlundin6495 the balance patch for TAKEDA needs massive improvements for some of the characters.... Nitara needs a spell like zone of waste so she can be immune to up blocks.. she also needs an air parry like fujin from mk11.. her whole gameplan has top many counters for.her to stay relevant
@@cudknacks Homelander, Ermac and Omniman shits on Nitara so bad, especially Homelander. Nitara has to spend meter to fly but Homelander can cancel like a normal and do an instant overhead. Feels bad man. Buff Havoc and Lee may while you're at it too. I'm not sure what buffs since I don't play either - probably just improve Lee May frames and remove some gaps.
A Lot of Johnny, yes! But it was a pleasure to See how Perfect Sonic played him. He knew that he will win this Tournament. The Reset was just for show imho. After the 1:1, it seems like he let him win. Then… 3:0 😅. Congrats to all Players - Great Tourney 🙌🙌🙌
Johnny Cage started off as the main villain of the game when it first came out, it was really only fitting it ended with a mirror in the final match of Pro Komp.
VGY and Faysal are two players, who trained in RIPs_arena and showed good results. It's a pity Kanimani couldn't make it. Otherwise top three would be different, if only he remained from the very beginning Johnny/Cyrax. This team outperformed, but he was too confident to choose Baraka and Kenshi, which let him down. Hope this lesson will teach him not to be so arrogant, even if you are a prodigy and top one in RIPs_arena roster. Because everybody played as it were last tournament in their life, that's why showed better results than top one on "paper"!
Was great to hear shout-outs to Arena from Aqua and Ketchup and Mustard. Hope we'll see at least one bald shiny head among the commentators next year. And also hope to see Kani stronger next year. He really deserved that top 8.
Er, are you forgetting the deadshot only tournament in injustice ii? Or the Jacqui and then later Fujin tournaments in mk11? Of course, you aren't wrong, some light nerphs at the top and some well deserved buffs for the rest and we should be doing better, but at the highest level of gameplay there will always be one or two characters that the pros pick because of just sheer statistics.
I get what you saying but the dead shot only tournament was a one time thing,m11 was reaching the end if its life span when Fujin started dominating in late tournaments so no one really cared,mk1 hasn’t been out for even a year and every tournament has been the same characters it’s gets boring as viewer. early mkx inj and mk11 tournaments had way more character variety in all sets.
@@battousaithekingslayer9913 Yeah we did, but my point is top dogs is nothing new. Of course we're just arguing symantics and I agree with you. have a great day.
vendo as lutas eu gostava mais do mk11 era mais pau a pau as lutas dificilmente uma luta acabava por tempo tinha mais combos. nesse tem uns estilos que e fugindo tempo todo.
Hey Ripper. I am sorry for my nagging about the audio, it is totally a game issue, but to be honest I didn't think this patch could get worse. From what I've experienced and other players too it occurs in the pyramid stage; I lost two sets to it and got teabagged for my efferts, even though I almost won both despite not knowing where my opponent was. Yet again sorry if I made you second guess yourself.
Xombat looking like a total noob in that shao swap, he had everything going for him and he panicked. No way he loses if he just plays his regular game with his regular characters
this tourney was pretty trash for 2 reasons: #1 nrs didnt balance peace and johnny well. #2 too many guys were hell bent on winning that they decided to go the cheap route. sonic and ninja held out and were using other casts that werent the top 2 but combo breaker and the online tourneys before CB proved that the rest of the cast would struggle against the 2 cheapest characters. so overall i blame the twins, kombat and unjust. if those 4 simply stuck with their mains, we woulda had a more diverse tournament. the top 8 woulda been sonic: rain, sindel, omni and nitara ninja: liu twins: rain, baraka, raiden unjust: tanya vgy: shang and shao kombat: idk faysal: kitana that line-up would've been much more interesting
Bruh what??? Every single patch, Johnny Cage gets nerfed lmaoooo. They take away frames, they take away his health, some moves are slower name and he's still good. They've balanced him enough.
@@JadaBoss4and?Theres a broken character in every game.There will always be a character better than the other.Fujin and jacqui in mk11 .Johnny and peacemaker so far here .Deal with it
@@bonkanamaiga5854 well hey, if you're happy seeing a tournament displaying only 2 characters, have at it. I know both of them getting nerfed soon so I'm good
@@JadaBoss4 I agree that JC and and PM made the tourney kinda stale but you can’t blame that on the players, blame NRS for their unbalanced game. There’s 200 grand on the line, obviously ur gonna play the best characters to try and win. Also xombat mained JC since day 1.
So nobody's going to talk about Nicholas purposely pulling the delay the matches stunt? The turn off the lights in the stadium stunt. He wanted to stop SonicFoxs momentum so he purposely got out of the game, that doesn't happen by accident bro, he should have been penalized for it, and if there is no there has to be one put in ASAP
Sonic has this tendacy to always allow his opponents to beat him and reset the stages again, its like he feel the nees to protect the opponents ego but in truth he is on his own level no one can play like sonic
Todos hablan de loa gringos porque no hablan del nivel de latam que si hay nivel y no lo aceptan los goath de 🇨🇱🐐🤫the twins broken ❤ Ggs ellos si tuvieron level representando latam el nico lo volvio a acer orgullosa de los mios acepten el nivel mladitos insectos de clase baja 😂🎉saludos

@@R1psArena let's get you there next year to commentate!
The way i just skipped through half the tourney because it was all Johnny and peacemaker. Props to faysal and vgy for keepin it fresh
Yeah it was just disgusting. This hero been broken from day 1 they don't do a thing about it. Hate Johnny players
@@mosinnagant2552 What can they do?
Change the moveset?;D

I was watching the main stream when they shouted you out. I RAN over to your stream to see how you reacted haha. That was so cool.
Sonic swept the entire competition it's crazy. 27-3 is wild....first seed for a reason 🐐
Ninja pulling out Lui must've been the highlight of the whole Tournamnet

The game is inconsistent that’s goofy ball roll was lucky af
Not at all; the highlight of the tournament was Nicolas unfazed and beating Ninja's Liu. People are not giving Nicolas enough credit.
@@CTheProfessor that ball roll was lucky as fuck in the corner the block stun from the ball roll doesn’t leave you in the right position. It forces you in a different stance.

Even if it was a lot of Peacemaker and Johnny, you can tell all of these players were GAMING. They all deserve big props!

@@Crayawni oh i will. i will just skip the boring part, as usual
VGY and Faysal made me proud!!!!. They did their thing!!!! Happy Fathers Day to you bro!!
Me skipping through to find out that basically every single match was Johnny vs Peacemaker:
“The 30K ball row!!!” 2:13:13
A lot of people can’t accept losing. Sonifox accepts it and always come back stronger
Sim sim ele e o ninjakiila
Sonic is the GOAT.

Ninja pulling out Liu deadass make this a 8/10 tourney even with the same matchups it was to hype
we were shouting when he picked LIU, lmao!
I was hoping he got to the rematch against Sonic because there was a good chance we might have seen Liu again.
@@grizzmoses7472same all the peacemakers and Johnny got boring i didn’t care who won
@@HnShady agree. I never thought I’d be excited to see Raiden but when the twins broke out him and Rain I was psyched lol
@@HnShady can’t be that mad, homelander is broken and I almost 100% sure he would’ve been showcased if he wasn’t banned from all the bugs.

Why block the specials and fatalities i feel like a child
MK3 was indeed the best Mortal Kombat ever GREAT TO SEE IT COMING BACK INTO THE WORLD
Wow, great, sweaty sets!
Why was there a bracket reset?
Dramatic effect
Nrs gotta do something no way the tournament was mostly the same character what happened to the diversity of the roster from past games.

01:34:15 two rare moves in a row
I'll be honest this was such a boring tournament, im really looking forward to the next balance patch

So rewind is no longer part of the big 3

Damn say what u want about cyraks, i think jhonny makes tournaments boring. Jhonny peacemaker and khameleon needs big nerfs or the game is dead
The best mk1 player in the world 4 $ure, ninjakill going straight to lab after this one ;)
so deserved gg
Ninja was pissed you can tell by his face
Sonic has this tendacy to always allow his opponents to beat him and reset the stages again, its like he feel the nees to protect the opponents ego but in truth he is on his own level no one can play like sonic
Peacemaker and Johnny should have been banned for this tourney
for a baraka / kung lao only tournament yay
Who says tourney Gggeeeyyyyy
Outcome would be the same
so sonicfox won $200k?! 😳
sonicfox legent since mk9
ninja getting 3-0 in tourny is new to me😭
wheres all the sonic haters and twins meat riders 😄😁😆😅🤣😂
Right here.
The most boring turnament ever
Then get good and join to change it. Or shut up

Argument over
Yup
Final kombat already? So the game is over...
this doesn't count. (crying myself and my Frenchie Bruce to sleep)
vamos chile mierda
Tired of ninja losing he’s literally the best player idk why he’s losing
Maybe he’s losing because he isn’t the best player😂you literally can’t be the best if youre constantly getting beaten by other competitors
I don't think you know what best means lol
There seems to be a logical fallacy here.0
Ninja is the best "Technical" player, but that also makes him the most predictable
Casual ninja fan😂
sonic spammer loldoing pretty basic stuff tbh
MK1 trash 💩 bring back MK 11 more fun to play and watch !!!!💪🔝
