Never thought I would see a Kim Wu and Kilgore in Top 8, let alone Grand Finals like that. Man, I love this game. I wish I still had time to play. Congrats to SonicDolphin.
i was rooting for Alexv up until the first game of the grand finals. he was excitable in the earlier parts of the tournament but idk i found his behavior eventually got on my nerves and seemed unsportsman like. dont get up in people's face in the middle of the grand finals. that said, i look forward to his future as a KI player
It was his first offline ever and he was just having fun with the KI homies. He didn't mean anything bad about it and plus, he knows everyone that attended lol. He was just soaking in all the good vibes and having fun with everyone
"Anyone who doesn't like what I like must be stupid and wrong". And people wonder why I consider this generation to be nothing but irrelevant clowns 🙄. If it walks and talks like a duck...
I was never disrespectful or unsportsmanlike, on the contrary, got to share the stage with legends on my first offline and I was hyping everyone up, specially Zombie since we go back and Sonic since it was Grand Finals and he was the only one that matched the energy while we were playing, and he was playing out of his mind too. GGs always 💪🐸💚
Alex was just having fun. It was his first offline ever and he was enjoying time with the KI community and trying to hype up folks. He didn't mean any ill will about it.
@@AphexArcade I thought he was the kid with long hair that got up in someones face a year or so ago? Was that in MK11?? I swear I thought it was the same guy lol. Regardless if he didnt mean anything by it... it can really make the other player on stage feel uncomfortable. ..which is unnecessary IMO.
@FallofSeraphs no, that was Buffalo vs Scar lol completely different person. Alex never traveled to offlines, he's a very busy dude(he's actually the one that did Combo Breakers theme song and other FGC events).
You know it's almost funny in a deeply ironic way that Windows would do an update in the middle of a tournament. Imagine if that happened at a League event..
@NickyFGC LMAO. Thanks for the reply! I think you were both of equal skill sets, he just had more ways to deal with your offense than you did his defense.
@@NickyIovenenothing wrong with a little rethink. She can't be that bad, surely. Unless this just happens to be the only balanced fighting game in existence.
What the hell! I've never received a forced controller update message in all my years owning a Xbox One and Series. I didn't even knew such a message existed!
Oh man at 2:08:30 when sonic got up and hit alex, alex was just casually backing up he had to of thought that was end of first life, if he didnt think it was he would have done something besides just walking backwards.
The very final reminded me of finals in Tekken 4. Spaming same thing over and over again with a Jin. Can anybody explain to me as I do not play this game, why the other player could not do much against Killgore who was shooting and countering by doing Shoryou ken ? Not my game tho but I really want to understand, is the winning character an OP like Jin in Tekken 4 ?
@@EternumTagerMain hmm so it is like using yoshimitsu in tekken against some other op character. In that case looks like killgore user found a way, cheers for explaining.
So nice to see Sonic beat the shit out of Alex V, after he acted all "Im the best" after winning 2 times against sonics Kim Wu. Haha douchbag got what he deserved. Amazing Kilgore play. Well deserved Sonic.
One of the dumbest things Ive seen its a controller asking you mid game that it needs an update like that, why not check only on startup/controller input/game start?
People can create their own combos using Light, Medium, and Heavy attacks that can be stringed together in a particular structure. The combos have the same animations but can be longer or shorter depending on strength. Having to watch and learn both punch and kick sets. Combos can be broken if you know what kind of strength is being used and enter that same strength at the same time the attack connects. Guessing wrong or missing the timing will lock you into the combo. Breakers can also be also be countered be the attacker if they think you are going to try and break. If successful, the counter breaker will not only lock in their opponent but reset the combo gauge for additional damage to add up in said combo. In short, combat is constantly a mind game. Is he going to try to break? Should I counter break? What strength are they using? Is it safe to break? Should I take the damage or risk even greater damage? This is not going into how a combo structure works. Specials. Combat styles. Potential damage vs regular. But this is basically what we are watching and paying attention to. The mind games between characters and players
KI is always cool, but that wasn't the most exciting just, because SonicDolphin was so much better than everyone else, it felt like he didn't have any real competition.
@@hotzauhse i dont know ive never seen any other game where they dont fist bump or shake after games, first time i see players just walk away everytime

ItzTyme2Dul vs Raven Is Raw set was fucking crazy 😮 insane stuff from both of them
I was rooting for Nicky as usual but other players surprised me. SonicDolphin made wonders with Kim Wu. He seems a nice guy
Thanks Spooky for uploading these amazing matches
What have we learned? Do not taunt SonicDolphin.
Sonic not even realizing he won and being confused why the game wasn't continuing was so endearing. Great games!
We need a ki2 😡
We need Ki4!!!

Incredible finals and amazing production
That Aria gameplay in the first match was insane.
Legit made Aria look like a bannable boss character in the first set
The way Nicky got bodied in the first match... Man, I was not ready for this. Extreme zombie just... nickyed him.
This was by far the best tournament game at combo breaker 2023. The game and it's players delivered.
Never knew about that extreme zombie guy but hes for sure the best Aria hands down. Great player!
How am I just now realizing how sick this game is man.
It was WAAAAAY ahead of it's time in so many ways.
2:14:00 Is that coaching allowed? Sonic didnt look happy. If Alex ended up winning, would that have been more controversial?

Oh cry, he was just having fun. You have to turn a fun exited man and event into a behavioral examination?
Made seeing him get dumpstered so good thou.
What a crazy tournament, you know the competition was fierce when heavy hitters such as Letalis, Wheels and SMV couldn't make it into top 8.
I watch Nicky's weekly tournaments, was rooting for him. I wish we could get another KI, it's one of the best fighting games to watch.
Can we just appreciate that Kilgore won a championship. I mean it was Sonic, but I still think that's awesome.
Yeah ik, he is usually considered a lower B-teir character as well. Pretty sick
The most memorable grand final at CB for me!
😂 those vibes died down real quick at the end..
Yoooo KILGORE?! LETS GOOOOO
This game is amazing to watch and play. I think I realized why it's not more popular and it's because people are not smart enough to play if
Yeah it was amazing to watch a spam fest for grand finals.
I dont enjoy rock paper scissors that much man, sorry.
@@Retrofun69Então em um jogo de luta vc não precisa ler os hábitos do oponente pra saber o que se passa na cabeça dele?

Wait i wasnt expecting to see a KI Top 8 this weekend but thos is a sweet find

SONICDOLPHIN BIGGEST HYPE BEAST IN THE FUCKIN GAME RN
bro was shaking so much and confused. He didnt even realize he won LMAO
Hisako would be a sick guest character on MK1.
Pretty much any KI character would work in MK, I think. The aesthetic of each game is fairly similar.
Great to see Kilgore with a tourney win! that was sooooo awesome! Great job Sonic Dolphin! I didnt really care for this AlexV guys stage demeanor.

sonicdolphin its top 1 of course
Sonic dolphin is so sick
So glad Extreme lost after the taunts haha. Great match tho either way
Awesome top 8
I remember watching Nicky make a Tier list and put Kim Wu at the bottom 💀💀💀💀 bet he's rethinking that.
nope I'm not! I just got outplayed :) Thanks for watching!

Whatever happened to Hollywoodsleep❔❓🤔
He moved on from the game but also life happened. Man's doing good though! He's bought and has been refurbishing a new home recently.
You can see the amount of hours these players invest in the game for these tournaments. Every frame is deliberately considered and studied.
I want to enter this contest
Awesome Work Team Spooky. Great and Incredible matches.

killer stinct better than mortal kombat
Great switch into Kilgore by Sonic, obviously. The aggression paid off, but moments like 2:16:43 show how dicey things really were.
Are xbox controllers good for this game?

Love KI but so sick of seeing Rash and Fulgore :(

I've been watching this game for years and just learned that Fulgore can speed up his reactor.
Who made that rap in the beginning ? That shi fire 🔥🔥
I feel like the sounds are a lot weaker than the original, the damage sounds made it hit different.

Funnily enough, Rash is the best character in the game while Kilgore is barely outside Top 10. I guess Sonic had him figured out.

So glad that dude Alex lost. Know when to get excited and know when to sit down and STFU.
SONIC dolphin was awesome and humble
Masks are still required?
Not surprised at all to see AlexV looks like a woman.
The pad update incident... get your shit together Microsoft, obviously this shouldn't occur WHILE you're playing !
These dudes don’t even shake hands or nothin after they play
Rash has to be the most boring character in history lmao
