ill be playing with Kenshi But we can see he's playing with All the characters It's very good Yeah, heavy Try to hear about that for him That's good It would be a surprise seeing him Playing with Heavy again But I don't think so Yeah, probably not You're out here to win a lot of points Yeah, here That's ultimately what this is about Here for the offline event There are more points on the line For qualifying for Final Combat Than there are in the online events So important to be able to do well At this offline event If you want to have a good chance To be able to make it into the finals So there's Conqueror And Kilroy on the left side of your screen Yeah, it's the same configuration The same character and cameo that he's using Until now Conqueror with Kenshi and Kirai with Liu Kang Yeah, sub is a pretty common A safe choice Or Frost Just something that lets you combo easily Into sento activation You're not as worried about Projectiles versus Lu Lao Also not uncommon to just go sub As a counter call It's the best choice In the MEK1 The counter character is the cameo Yeah, exactly Okay, now all that aside The question is How strongly do you get to play Look at the damage Starting off with the low Very cleanly into it I think this is it Almost there Yeah It would have had to have been A perfect flawless block to survive Yeah Very difficult Man, he's used that twice already It's not something that I see Many Kenshi's go to But it's I mean, you see the utility of it To be able to run through It was best if he's using Sub-Zero for that Yeah Yeah, that's what I expected this sub Pick to be in part about But it actually hasn't put the vest on In response to You know, the low hat Or projectiles Oh Oh Hey, little duck The corner will hurt Yeah, I'll say Oh my god And that very hard situation Defensively Nice On the other side He started off with the low In the previous one This time Goes for the over And solves it Very quickly Once he went into the sento activation Very good match of conqueror Kirai Was not Was not there Conqueror Been playing alone here The two rounds Well, that's what you want As Kenshi has many characters Of course, right? If you can get your win Conditions set up Yeah He's defining the rules Of the match Yes Now, because Conqueror was able to get through The zoning before Please make him Hey, yes, here's Killroy I'm happy to see Killroy Play more of an offensive game here Yeah, it's the key Of the victor for him I think that's right Yeah, do not let Kenshi Set things up Don't easily Gonna let him run through Or put on vest And walk through Back to the zoning game The space that Killroy is doing now It's very good For this type of The life lead that he has Now Like very patient even still Yeah And I think that is The kind of gameplay That Liu Kang needs to do That's it, Conqueror, still Pretty patient Doesn't feel like he's out of it Oh Did not expect that hit Oh Yeah, sure That's it, Killroy Honestly, excellent round Excellent round Conqueror Needs to do more pressure To give Cento another chance Well, he spent the full meter On ambush crawling to shoulder So that he gets Cento out before He's got to wait a little while now Oh A little scrambling Nice Killroy and Conqueror Is gonna hold on to full resources I mean, you could tell He's holding on to sub-bar So that he could get activation And ambush crawling to shoulder As an activation Or combo into activation And to freeze into activation I should say But that's clearly the big Sort of Yeah The game plan Nice Well All of that aside It worked out He got down to the win condition area Now And Killroy blocked not for long That's the name of the game You know, you Killroy spent so much time 35 seconds Maybe 50 seconds On the other side of the screen Or pressuring and it was good form But as soon as he got knocked down Into the corner That was all Conqueror That's true He needs to be more aggressive And Not Allowing Conqueror To do this kind of game plan It did seem like in the beginning Of this game that was working out Yeah He didn't have any meter there for Amplify Here it is Oh I didn't have extra bar Got what he could Now Uh-oh There could just be Ice fest into The Shoulder Oh It was still whipping actually Conqueror played a little bit safely Until that one Yeah Nice decision from Conqueror Here it is Yeah, exactly what he set up before Now Oh The overhead starts it off That's it That time That Kilroy spent with Yeah This round The previous round And the round before that Ends up Not being enough As Conqueror When he found the mix up When he found The knock down final Yeah But nothing to knock down If it was close enough to the corner That he could just get Ambush into The Cold shoulder Into Cento activation That was what he needed Then He needs only two combos Two To win the match Right So I'm For Kilroy I like so much of what he's been doing Yeah But he's against Can she I don't know If he's going to work Ice fest In neutral For the first time Yeah Well, he really waited What? Now Sub is way back So he can get into Yeah He can get into Cento Just like this Another time Another combo Let's go Kilroy Let's see the defense Let's see what you got Oh, boy He never tried to use the armor When he Waking up Oh, man And then just when He thought that Conqueror Was going to chill And wait on the other side Yeah Exactly when the sword came up So that's the point now Conqueror Alright, Kilroy No shutdown Again setting it up You can tell Conqueror Feels like he gets to be patient Yeah Kilroy needs to To win the match Conqueror He will do his His rule He's gonna set up a sandwich Here he is Nice That was sick He didn't spend any bar on it though And so the Ancestor Is gonna be creeping around there Yeah, there he is There he is The boy's still there Okay, not long He's summoning Oh, my No, look at this From Conqueror He's giving so much space Still Nice Conversion Is that enough? Is that enough? Yeah He ends up taking it 3-0 That to me was a classic It was 3-0 But it was close Yeah The way that that set went Because there were definitely moments in there Where I thought that Kilroy was doing great And yet Not enough is Conqueror's game plan Of being patient throughout the most part As Kenchies will do And then Harassing you to death Once he gets the Ancestors out As Kenchies will do Was perfect It worked out great Kilroy Lose Losing the match In the mind Mind game Conqueror always Sings to be aware of All the moves of Kilroy I think because Liu Kang Does not have mix ups Or this kind of movement You need to play Far away With the magic With the projectiles But with Kenchy and Sub-Zero This kind of play Game play Is not effective And even when he did have success playing that style Which he did for a little while here and there Once Conqueror found Either the knock down Or just enough time To call sento out That was it I mean it's a very difficult situation Obviously we've all been in there That situation Having to defend against Kenchy with the Ancestor out It's hard obviously That's the sign of the character Is to have him wait for that moment And it was executed perfectly By Conqueror So Conqueror moves on Now in the other side of this Bracket Axioma beats Sankfrio Three games to one Axioma wins Sankfrio Beats Sankfrio And will face Conqueror Nice You're surprised You're surprised yeah Sankfrio is one of the greatest Player here in Brazil But Axioma is very dangerous Because of this kind of game play That you In the position of the opponent Of Axioma You need to be patient I think that Sankfrio was not patient Was not patient Sorry Okay well that sets up The Winner's side matches To be EcoBus vs Mono Phelps And Conqueror vs Axioma And then in Loser's side Not a lot of work to be done We'll talk about that later on It hasn't made its way very far through yet But again Since there are six people Who make it out of each pool What we're playing for In the next couple of matches Here on Winner's side is Who makes it out in Winner's side And who makes it out in Loser's side Yeah That's what this is about But we know that these four players Will have qualified already Just a question of Where in the bracket They'll end up afterward Mono Phelps is another player That he is very young But you saw in the first match In the stream Mono Phelps do It's doing a very good Pressure game play But In the other hand Nicolas will change for Raiden That can deal Very good with this kind of game play And you talk about young players It's still the case Scorpion, Prox and Nicolas Are young players They've just been killers for years already But they're still young So right As you mentioned It's the choice to go over to Raiden Kano Another really really strong shell Really strong team It's a counter pick for Johnny Yeah I'm curious to see What about this is the counter pick for him We've seen this match a million times But Nicolas Switch away from Baraka into it The mobility is part of that I suppose You can set up the projectiles Of course versus Johnny If he's on the other side of the screen He only have the Laos hat Nice defense Okay Mono Phelps is definitely contending here up Defensively and offensively Really staggering Oh yeah, staggering it well A lot of weird little funky times That's what you need It's still coming Oh Kano If he's doing an electric fly from the other side You can guarantee there's going to be knives Or a ball coming at you right away But no Kano for a little while Yeah Nice decision A lot of meter for Kano back So he can get back to Well just confirming it turns out They didn't even need to get easy pressure It was the straight up hit confirmed For Nicolas for game one Mono Phelps does not save meters For defense And this is the kind of gameplay of MK1 You need to choose If you will be playing with more More aggressive way using these meters I know Was it close to the down two Obviously Mono Phelps there Had predicted that knives were coming He just wanted to get the down two As a punishment yet he wasn't in range So now again no Kano for a while What do you got Mono Phelps Setting it up Nicolas know how to play against Johnny Cage He has definitely game planned this before Oh didn't believe in it though No follows block That means that he was in kill range And just a couple of hits Nicolas is almost perfectly in this match Johnny Cage of Mono Phelps Oh my god they're with Yeah that's genius So cautious it seems Right nice No too far This is a huge chance Mono Phelps gotta make this one count Good damage all the way into the corner Pressure comes Nice He died Oh my god Nicolas was so ready And if you're not follows blocking Ok nice work Then you know you Oh It's over It is over Two to zero Mono Phelps is thinking about the This time the present of the match While Nicolas is thinking about the future of the match He's always ahead of his time First coach we didn't like that And yet Nicolas was ready to block Was a back dash Yeah he sure did Finally finishes Oh no So it's just like that He's gonna be able to build pressure Yep the knives are there Nice Yeah yeah yeah These are the timings that you need Down one Call this block Set it up Ok Nicolas this time ready to block Nice What a range Harassment And that was all without Kano So there wasn't much of a threat of Button into Significant damage Yeah false block super important at the moment Oh god He does get the kill Mono Phelps it's alive It's still coming Oh no he actually His counter call actually worked That was cool The head He did Kano He did Was really looking for that Nice Now the last time he didn't really get much pressure out of the situation This time yes Nice decision Defensively now Oh Nicolas's shoe has meters Yeah probably looking for him to hold on to that And see if he finds a kill moment Oh Tried to counter poke it wasn't there These individual hits are starting to add up big time Yup That's why he was holding on to that meter as we mentioned Mono Phelps Yeah different looks False block super important at the moment There's no more Kano Nice What a jump to take the round by Nicolas Mono Phelps responding to the lack of Kano from Nicolas at that moment Thought that he could just get a grab taking Nicolas would stay still As I wasn't going to be Buttoning to storm into plus frames anymore And as this goes on I like a little bit more of Mono Phelps neutral game His pressure game Only question is whether he can make enough of it happen Because it's already match point everyone He needs to be careless Nice flawless block Oh he did not bar Taking sides And now he's got a chance to set things up again But Mono Phelps again He's movement the timings are a little bit different Where he tries to attack in a little bit different All that aside Nicolas gets great damage here He's going to get pressure right up close again He's got two Kano's One Two Well this block is not working now Oh! Not enough Oh they grabbed For Nicolas So although as it went on it was closer Nicolas takes it three games to zero And as a result He's in the next round Qualified out of pools in winners side Again as I mentioned Mono Phelps also has qualified out of pools But in the losers side Losers side Nicolas It's done for today And this match looks like the last one With Conqueror Playing against the Q-Roy Because the patience With the punishment of the Nicolas And the range of the heat I don't know I think this is the degree of the rating It's very good and very annoying for Mono Phelps Certainly in this last game Mono Phelps had more to say If that set had gone on longer Maybe he would have had a little bit more But it's the first of three Nicolas did what he needed to do in that moment You're definitely right that when it comes to Nicolas's play as with Conqueror's play before And Scorpion proxies before These are all characters we see all the time It's not like it's a mystery What Raiden Kano is going to be doing You know what he's going to do But still when you see somebody like Nicolas play it You're looking at particular moments that he chooses You're looking at different ranges that he started off from You're looking at him like defensively Playing it a little bit differently You can still absolutely see the player in there Some actuary that he's doing When Mono Phelps is putting the hat on the ground And then air to air And Nicolas always in the front Nicolas is an amazing player And he's still a lot of time to do more To become stronger But now he is one of the strongest player In the world for MK1 I mean, you're right I'm sure he will get stronger Because he and his brother He's very young Yeah, I know They're already in... They're already multiple EVO topic Yeah It's like it's already... They're doing well And we have in your house, in your home Another great player You can practice all day, all the time And become stronger, stronger, stronger That's what they do They choose like... It's like Goku and Vegeta From Dragon Ball Yeah Yep, yep Conqueror Conqueror It's a very good match Because Aksyoma It's coming... It's come from 3-0 in PS Flash 3-1 in Sangifrio And now he will facing Conqueror I don't know Conqueror in the common sense Will be always the favorite But Aksyoma looks like he's in our... In a very good day The fact that he 3-1 Sangifrio is great I mean, we didn't see that match on stream You can get the sense that that was probably a great play by Yeah And Sangifrio used to be very angry When he loses in winners I don't know what's gonna happen now with him Okay So no change in terms of characters here Yeah Same teams that we were looking at previously The best of people And this big mid-range right here Definitely gonna be a point of contention between the two Already called? Yes, there he is Nice This is one of the best moves of Spark For sure No meter on that end It was 3-19 Pretty good, still his turn If he wants it Got him Nice again So great start by Aksyoma And again, back to this mid-range He's got Striker And immediately he calls him For the safety after a bunch of shit Look, that's how many times in the last set that we saw Conqueror Did he just need to get that one chance to get things going? Very smart Very smart The chip damage Very good Backdashing Up close Aksyoma always very strong in the defense Very patient If the opponent is very good in the defense, can she? It's a common character Without Cento, he's a common character Now the change, the thing will change Well, but think about this from Aksyoma's perspective Oh yeah, he gets to break out He went in for a mix like one time after 30 seconds of not, and that's when he got Ducked into all this damage that he's taken into the pressure he's about to take No, the ancestor goes away Turn a bit, nice work Conqueror was aware of Striker That's not enough? No Oh jeez, he just wanted that to be the chip kill And it was a huge opportunity for Aksyoma Huge But he lost it And Conqueror seems to be different The first round, more safely Jump out, no up block, no anti-air He's getting going, yes Low Maybe holding on to the breaker in case Yeah, nice work So he actually did buttons out Now he's still got to think about the ancestor behind him This Cento E shot KG That's what, that was sick Nice Defense from Conqueror And He got that thing No, this Striker Conqueror lost his meters There was no Striker Yeah So not a lot of damage, but still Now Aksyoma has Striker back He can pressure if he'd like That's exactly what he's going into The empty jump Yeah, hoping to see something else come out The damage is very good Can she spin in the stands like the whole game? Okay, nice Try to put a delay in it Is there an answer? No, there's no up block either It's Conqueror who's out He doesn't have to think about grenades Not for long though Aksyoma finds the hit And with time running out Oh, is it a no? No Cancel What's happening? Oh, no Aksyoma has the chance Oh my God, I don't know What he thought there, but Conqueror Has the win again What a round What? I mean, honestly Quite a scramble at the end That absolutely could have gone either way And that was a game where We saw some great defense from both sides Yeah Choices from both sides The adaptation of Conqueror For this kind of gameplay of Aksyoma Was great Just backed off Conqueror knew that there was Going to be a striker coming out It was going to be an easy punish chance Yes And great damage All the way into the corner Full pressure up close Oh, the striker Knowledge, that was beautiful by Conqueror He picked the damage shoot And now it's a tough spot for Aksyoma Let's see who you had the defense before Descend to his shopping she I love the idea Yeah, sister's gone, ran out of time This striker Striker's saving Nice jump No, he's He's losing his chance Oh, no Down two almost going to get the kill It wasn't quite enough Oh man, he's just not worried about a mid With Punish at that range That is tough for Scorpe right there Conqueror gets to back off Maybe not for long Here he is So that has come up in three Huge instances so far for Conqueror The duck under the grab and to punish Reason was up blocking before That's when it finally came out Aksyoma looks nervous Into the sandwich afterward And now Conqueror Up close We got to see some defense here Nice decision So although that was great work by Conqueror Great damage that he got out He's now stuck in sword stance Doesn't have a bunch of his options He otherwise might And yet when we saw him before He did play in this well Oh, way over it Oh, just strike it again But there's so little health left on Aksyoma's side He just can't take that kind of risk at the moment Yeah, there you go Conqueror A very good match from Conqueror Aksyoma in the second round Does not look the same But Conqueror Seems to become stronger In all the rounds But think about this If Aksyoma had had Three combo conversions It could be a different match Three? Okay I mean it's a lot He found those hits And he didn't get the big hit Yeah, he's lost the chance You're right It could be a different story If he had actually had those all the way through Now he's got a chance to make it happen again In one combo Now one combo Conqueror took half of the life of Aksyoma Tell us what you got a budget for You said the nut obviously But you know how can she work with this one There it is, the delay first Into the overhead Oh, here's a big one Strike it again Conqueror may get out of it Conqueror always has meters You didn't need to take that meter That's a damage, excuse me But it worked out as he gets To get the round, I think Yeah, match point Conqueror Aksyoma patience As he tries to move in We know how often he's been trying Yeah Strike it, here it is Yes Yo, we've punished Was very good And again Half of the life of Aksyoma Was gone Let's go Oh, he's still coming No, boy I think this is it Oh, no Well, he had to do it You got to get your one chance left And maybe He needs to hit I would say three more times Okay, so he's gonna Okay Make Conqueror get out of the bars But still We can say that Aksyoma has a cream Oh If he finds one more hit Standing reset instead If he finds one more hit They come back Grenades Nice grab In the corner Change sides Oh Oh, man Duck under grab was so key for Conqueror Yeah I think that Aksyoma needs to go to combo To another thing Because grab Again No He certainly did try a lot of the Different options that he could bring out But Conqueror's defense overall And those situations Was enough Often enough Yeah He got to get big stuff by himself And of course once you Lose your offense Versus Kenshi If he gets to activate It's a completely different match right away And even with the 3-0 Aksyoma Had a good job But It's Conqueror Conqueror It's a problem He's pretty good Yeah So that's what Winner's side looks like Conqueror moving on Nicholas moving on And Winners Losers so far Amano Phelps and Aksyoma Qualified for the next time Losers Now we decide Two more Two final ones In this pool Our last two matches Are going to be Flam vs Ole Bar Who we saw earlier on Didn't get the dub And we're finally going to Get to see Sengifrio On the other side Versus Blackstorm BR Let's see how he will play He He just played with Suarez He did 3-0 And now he will face Blackstorm BR Blackstorm He's a very known player From the MK9 And then He's coming back To MK1 That's very cool That has been Not an uncommon story Across the world That people who played In the MK9 days Have come back Into MK1 Which has been great to see It's been the case In my local too Some of the folks Who I hadn't seen in Literally a decade I have now Have been seeing A few times again Which is great What's happening here too And we have some similarities With the MK1 and the MK9 So I think that This kind of play And now they're zany games You get to do pretty nutty stuff In both games Which is fun That's a huge part of Why I love these games Yeah, exactly But Blackstorm Is a very strong character A very strong player too It will be a very good match Flame in the lab Flame is a very good Player too I don't know How he's playing In the MK1 I saw him He's playing MK11 A lot of times And O'Leb He's from the From a team Called Ro Baturnos It's like Steel turns And he He's come from From a team With so good players So many players That are good And I think that he's He'll be a problem to Flame too Okay So we have four good players Ending up at the end of this pool In loser's side In loser's side, yeah Again, every pool is pretty stacked Cannot lose Yeah Or that will be it We're Just trying to decide Who the final two players are To make the top 24 We won't see that today That will be tomorrow Top 24 So win here And you get to Rest and hang out For the rest of the day Obviously we have Tournament going on There's actually a pretty Significant Casuals area Outside in the back as well People are getting A bunch of games I saw you playing with Ketchup Yep, we were getting Game clear earlier With your gearers Very good gearers Thank you It was a lot of fun Yeah, and Ketchup With a Sub-Zero With Darius I've never seen that That's actually why we were playing Because I know that he's been Playing Sub-Darius I've seen him play that And I've certainly Seen him talk about it Certainly a lot And I've never played Against Sub-Darius So I was like What is this about? It was a lot of fun Yeah More mixed up For Sub-Zero Oh my God Alright Coming into one of The final two matches In MK11 Flamie was One of the best Players of Sub-Zero Okay I don't know If he's With Sub-Zero now Or If he's Ashra Ashra, okay So Flamie is Ashra And Olabi is Sub-Zero Let's see how it's How it's going now I'd really like to Sub-Zero in a second What? Yeah Into Milena If they're a mix of Supposed to be scared But even from far away You can get big combo convergence Patience Nice Sometimes it works out Oh the overhead No cancel though This This move is so difficult To defend Nice Flawless block Big whiff And not punished He had it Yeah He actually had Camille just at that right moment Shout out to Flamie For recognizing that So he had Milena At the end of this Question What do we got? No Declone It is really hard For Sub-Zero to get away With buttoning the phone Like that If the opponent knows what's up Oh nice Flamie Life lead He's not going to be Sitting easy though Comfortable No But the time Again if Milena hits They're no longer Then set Oh That happened twice Where he went up there And did the DP And was correct about it Very good move And he goes to a combo After that I really like that The very tricky behavior Yeah I remember a lab now He's doing a slide And Kitana Camille Even if it's on hit Or on block He's doing And let's see What's happening Yep You just got to keep your eye On what color the Camille meter is If you're the defender So you can know What his options are going to be When I'm watching Or playing Versus somebody who's got Milena My eye is up in the top Right of the corner Like every half second You just got to Constantly be looking At what the color is It's a very fun Camille You got to be very active On defense too Not just Yeah If you're using her She forces a lot of attention I was playing with her With Koishi And it was very fun Very fun I can see that 28 on the clock is Trying to move in Yes And he's got Milena Will he mix it up big time Nope And they say He's at the big top low Oh Okay Big clip confirmed We got to see those matches Up there Yeah New feature This is still game one Man, they're really back and forth Yeah The first round Ended with 11 seconds And now 7 seconds That is Pretty good I'm not going to lie I like that a lot Oh, tried it And now Because of the block You get whatever you want When you're point blank like that Maybe you'll try it Because we have three bars Maybe we can escape But Olaf is Always doing Some kind of Unsafe gameplay And I think this is very dangerous Well, maybe so But Here he is With a life lead In game one It's working Double attacks Just throwing out the double discs Nice Okay He didn't have the assist, by the way He didn't have it in time Okay What a range W Yeah, the damage will be insane Yeah, yeah, yeah It could be a game change Well, it's got the life lead Because of this Definitely change the game Nice again In those instances That happened three times Yeah When Flame expects For Olaf to try to press the button At that range he has had EXDP of course You can get Air cancel out of it And big damage Not exactly into safety But at least you get to play a mix-up Sort of afterward And working like Like a shoddy okan for him Right, right With combo Oh, wow Stable option You don't get the Huge upsides Yeah Of the best stuff that Kameleon has to offer But you can be sure about it Right, you don't need to Constantly be aware Of what's going on Nice Plenty of time for this Oh, this is cool You know, he's the only person I've seen through this setup That's cute Yeah It was already pretty good damage And you get to get Looks like I'm not sure if that's a safe jump But you definitely get To get the pressure Looks like it might be But Olaf Always choose for The option that Has no more damage He wants the pressure Yeah That's definitely What he's looking for Oh man The hack I did just like that Again Again Oh man Their best move It's fast The damage output's great Again, you get to Sort of play a mix-up defensively Yeah It doesn't work out Not the best for you, but Olaf breaks Lose his meter Again, denied Nice choice Oh, wow That's a bummer for Olaf Back to a little bit of distance play And once you're in about Not anymore But about this range You got to start thinking About this tool He's the He has the best in chair Again? Oh no Just trying to play a mix-up Surround flame Very good use of Serena now Yeah, denying breaker Yeah Stuck He's got A bunch of meter He can set things up He would love it If she just got frozen But they're probably going to need to be more than that You could say that He has a dream He does still There's plenty of time on the clock He's got resources He's got fatal But the more he blocks Ah, the single one through It's very fast It comes back fast Yeah Very good choice From flame A very good match A match with Good opportunities Good decisions Oh yeah Olaf is doing great But Flame is doing A very good job until now I like this chameleon I'm being honest Yeah, this is I think This is the way for him Yeah Look That was great We all know he's good But the upsides Of when he gets things right For his style Yeah I see chameleon being More effective Just in the sort of zaniness of it And the sort of Attentional Sort of deficit That it creates in the opponent He's clearly very aware with it But he always using the chameleon In defense I think that he is using The resource In the way that Is not too effective The idea was to get the more Yeah So we've seen more That's the danger zone Where there's been EXTP Into the big damper Yeah Way too high But again, really trying to put Mixups around what Flame is expecting defensively As an anti-air In the defense The flame is doing A very good job until now Almost In the calls Oh, no conversion Oh Time that that's worked out And he picks up now Oh, now it worked Finally It's the first time that This thing worked Backing off the floor hand He's got slide into this Yeah, again He just do Always good damage If you can find that Nice Hware Nice And a huge damage No cancel, oh boy Could have been a lot Isn't it? Very difficult position For a lab No I understand Yeah You gotta take a risk To get damage To try to get the round Just a bad spot to be in I think that worked You haven't seen that Quite combo yet Always He always tried that But it's not working Right So that tactic Looks like it is Not long term Probably as As a sudden surprise In the first Couple rounds I get it It seemed like it could be Effective there Now that the opponent knows What's up Not as much The pressure again What? Now Very good gameplay He has the corner And Going Yep, underneath Flame only needs one hit If a threat hits If he finds anything And Alright All I knew That sky was the idea Of her flame Try to get past The boomerang On its way back So okay Going back to chameleon Here Definitely paid off Yeah The chameleon Is the best came For this type of strategy That he's doing It's a Very crazy strategy But Now Now working The first I think that was The first match That he wins Today Yeah, on stream In stream, yeah Flame gets to settle it down A little bit Jade So no point Calling out Serena For a little while Like some stolen turns Is here Denied right away No Gotta make her pay At least a couple hundred Out of this I don't know if he's gonna get That much more depending On what he looks for Yeah, 280 That risky spot We've seen DCs that's for Ole just All hanging out Defensively Trying to be patient Nice Of course But the Very good Did not pay off Yeah, great work by Ole To just hold on to it He wins the round And Flame lost Lost his meters Nice overhead Still a little bit of damage 150 Still has Malina The first big hit In a while Denied On the slow chase There it is 238 Just like that And he gets the pressure If he'd like Out of it Slowly getting cornered here Yeah, and he's fully stuck Back against Three not for long We've got Malina on deck We'll leave her on the risk No Can't explain Denying the meter And not quite getting the round Hold on Okay Match point for flame And he's starting out in a great position Yeah And that was a huge Shits for damage He needs to do this more Oh Yeah, I think that was the first Malina overhead that we saw Nice Okay Pretty cautious stuff Actually not really trying to take Much of the risk So Blow Looking for up lock Nothing came That, it's cool I mean, it is A cool idea It's beautiful But It takes Little damage Yeah, you're right Got it Oh my Oh nice However Flame's still gonna get A ton of damage A lot of damage This is Like 500 damage Yeah It might be 520 if I recall It's dead It's dead Yeah Why is that actually It's over All the knives are coming through 31 for flame To take it Three games To one All that was a warrior But Not enough Flame was very, very good All the rounds Olev has his moments I think that's fair to say Yeah, we saw stuff from him That I liked here and there Yeah I liked some of the mixups that he had It's fun to watch It is fun to watch I agree with you He was unpredictable Yeah And I can be really valuable With Sub-Zero you need to To do this kind of the gameplay But Was not enough Not enough Not enough Yeah This game one Really went down to the end A couple of those games Went down to the end Really could have gone either way I think this is DP Yeah Yeah This is the trick This is the way of Flame doing the The gameplay of Astra It's different The Gearsceptional Is playing with Astra and I don't see He's doing this No Yeah, I would say that This is the most that I've seen The DP in neutral in that way Yeah In the first four Astra So interesting idea Obviously paid off Here he is Qualified out of pools Into the top 24 Yeah The loser side On loser side It was a great match Great Very fun to watch Yeah Yeah And cool to see too That as it went on Flame Got like a better understanding Of what All these options were Yeah Slide into Lyft is cool Like that's a sick idea Yeah By the end of it That was getting punished Almost every time So as it went on We definitely saw more Understanding and control I think that That long match That change I think that I think that That I don't know how I say that But Allab If he Is still with The chameleon It will be another chance From here Yeah, I think that's right Yeah Again, Lao Is great Yeah Excellent cameo He's stable Like you know What he's going to be doing Same thing for the Offensive and defensive player You know Like what his options are And there's utility in that Yeah To know that And to have a dependable Assist to call Can be useful But yeah The way that Specifically he As a player Likes to play I agree with you The crazy thing Chameleon The crazy way Was the way to go I mean When I see a sub Laohat I've seen a couple of times But more often Other cameos Entirely Syrax Is common for Syrax I've seen Serena Serena I've seen a bunch That we've seen But when it comes to How he as a player Played Chameleon Was definitely fun Yeah In any case Not quite enough It was enough to get Top 25th 25th Yeah I mean that's good Very good run Very good run And then now The other side of losers Which And I think that Senki Frio Senki Frio is the It's the Favorite here But it's like I said to you Senki Frio When he's Lose In winners He's A little nervous In losers Right But He's came From now Now win With Suarez True 3-0 Yeah 3-0 Suarez Is a very good player Own team The Dream Killers Cool But Senki Frio Is very very good For him So Senki Frio Versus Blackstorm Will be Very very fun To watch you It's the The last one Of this pool It is This is the last match Of the pool We're gonna get the switch We'll talk About some of the players To watch after this In the next pool But Yeah In this one As you mentioned Blackstorm An MK9 player Has come back to play Which has been a blast And then at the same time Senki Frio Somebody who's been strong For years on his own Yeah A lot of Years of experience Coming in here He is very young too But In MK11 He has So many titles So many championships I remember And He traveled to Chile To play In a tournament And He faced The twin The twin brothers From Chile Scorpion Brox and Nicolas And I don't Know Who He He won And Who He lost But He won One of them Okay, cool And he lost In the final For one of them But The experience Of Senki Frio Is Amazing He's A very good Player I think That he's Still playing with Tanya Tanya is A very good Character with Goro For sure Always Improving His gameplay With these Characters I think That he's Still strong With Tanya And he'll be A very Strong opponent For Blackstorm Since I had Seen his name So many times Back in the 11 days I realized That he was A young player Still a young guy Yeah I don't know But I think He's 19 I didn't really That's cool Okay And he will Play with Johnny Cage Mmm Okay See some of the crowd Hanging out behind them Yeah It's a unique venue That we have here Yeah Unique place Johnny Striker A classic combo And Oshura Low Yep You get to hang out Yes So So many Oshuras She's really good Yeah For me One of the Pretty common take Yeah She's really good No doubt Big buttons Big damage Big range Yeah One of the best Well The best way Yeah That said Oh Sengafrio on Wow Nice What a conversion Into just Straight up the meeting So really good start By Sengafrio Chase from one side of the stage To the other He's not He looks nervous As soon as he saw the low He's had He shadow-picks twice He actually shadow-picks twice Nice Okay The movement's good The pressure's looking great Not way too close Oh man The weird looks are coming out The movement of Sengafrio Is very, very good I agree He's gonna get more of it If he wants I'm hoping the whiff punish Not there Again Excellent What a defense That said Black... Oh what? Can he get something out of it? He did What's happening? Wow That was Incredible stuff That was enough actually Oh jeez Super good call By Blackstorm Very good round Yeah I'll save back and forth There's the duck Into the pickup Into big damage Oh, why is it a block? That's a BX actually If that happened Not in time Here's the forward movement from Blackstorm He's looking great Looking great Stealing some turns Nice duck So it's a final round Might as well just go into it Yeah He needs to use everything And to be honest Like in the mid-range Neutral gameplay As much as I think that in general Serena does great In that Yeah Sengafrio's reactions have made it So that it hasn't really been that easy Yeah, here's the mix-ups now Overhead Walked forward No Okay Blackstorm has a chance He's got the life lead He gets to set it up Oh, the hat Had to get over it No Nice Played for a very good round Of Blackstorm Actually a very good match From Blackstorm Because the second round too Was very strong And I have to say That I'm surprised He played it great Because in that game Sengafrio also played great Yeah He also had really good pressure Really good movement His grenade pause Just says here Had been really strong And now he's Exactly where he needs to be As Johnny down one So he turned into A little bit more Okay Got his conversion Grenade It's kinda screwed it up A little bit Got it in big damage The pressure The pressure is still there Yeah, good work So even stronger Of a round Honestly for Sengafrio right there Yeah And the high meter Almost Into Grab His pressure just seems On the ending He's got the corner yet again The way You need to play with Johnny Cage Oh yeah Oh Blackstorm Gets out of there Sets it up And now who moves first Because we've seen that Sengafrio has been able to react Again As in the last round We've seen a couple times already His grenade calls are really good Really good It's not just about You know Button into unsafe stuff Button to grenade Yeah That's great Lots of characters get that What I really like Is grenade calls in footsies Yeah Like an ambush That's what it is That's exactly what it is Yeah And you let them do the Hit confirms for you This is another utility of it Right You get to do shadow kick In the grenade Fine That's also very good Yeah But I love those mid range footsies calls too Okay Yes Actually she's one of the tougher characters To get it over Yeah Not everybody's got A nice little starter You know And we don't see Black Storm doing that That Upper cut With Ashura like claim No, that's rare Yeah Okay, yeah This means that Black Storm gets to get back To a more comfortable range Yeah, I don't know how long though Because the grenade Nice Again Again The killer grenade calls This striker Is the best Cammy Oh my God Again Now that was he That actually got past the grenades Yeah Really get awareness by Black Storm And great damage in the meantime Thank you Frio He's making a good decision And he's very Very focused on this This round Now keep it up, yes Okay No Got past the grenades This is all Black Storm right now Maybe I just thought What What Oh What was that Going for the chip Made total sense as Black Storm But man Zengar Frio Made him work for that round Man, too close to the corner Maintains the corner Zengar Frio's still here Hype meter is full Got it Nice The back off into the counter focus Been huge for him too He's in general I really like the neutral game he plays Yeah, that'd be true Into a little bit more pressure Even now Black Storm out of the corner But the question is Can he find the hit No, so far No Frio finds it He just needs chip Although there's three bars to think about So not gonna be easy Nice Did you Zengar Frio That's the one Yeah, Zengar Frio Looks like he's learning How Black Storm is playing with Ashura And we see more pressure But when he's far away It's not Johnny who Who became the dangerous For Black Storm He's striker Absolutely Big chance on the left No It means that when you see That there's no striker on the other team Yeah You have to play a little bit more confidently Neutral Now he is bouncing Got it Oh, that was cute Tough to get around that And Ashura has a very good damage If you take a nap here It goes across Hey Zengar Frio What do you got Another one Black Storm is still Very, very strong in the match Let's see how Zengar Frio will react to that Past the grenades And Zengar Frio's reactions too Are super strong He's able to get through a lot of stuff on reaction Not even as a mixer Seeing it all Oh Great normalization of this combo Went into a familiar route After a couple of stand ones He's still here Okay, deny grenades He's using the grenades Always To close to that Ashura Oh He needs to run He needs to make some risks The flame style So two to two Is this actually the first time we're going down to a Fifth game? It is, right? I don't know if in the first pool I don't think it did I think this is it So last game Here for both One of them makes it out in loser's side First time he actually held on to it the whole way Yeah Oh the duck Zengar Frio thought it was his turn Nice Put the grenades off of the grenades Always the grenades What Huge Huge opportunity The duck again Has been absolutely key Nice down two And now Black Storm has matched point Zengar Frio needs two rounds in a row He really tries the grenades Again 300 in the corner Yes He gets not just good damage here but great stage carry Still put the grenades, he's got another one All the way out of the corner now Nice, very strong And all going down to the final game Final round of the pool Whoever takes this next round survives in loser's side Keep it up The version comes Zengar Frio is exactly where he wants to be Grenades again, way too close He's got another grenade Even still Black Storm has just been caged Plus frames Pressure plus frames, oh my god Still finally a button from Black Storm And yet immediately after it Zengar Frio Who gets back Grenades, okay now there's no grenades to think about for a while Time to set it up It's over It's over Super smart conversion by Zengar Frio To end up taking it Three bars remain on the other side as a result What on, he gets to move on into the next round Top 24 What a great match, oh my god Black Storm was doing a very good job But the reads of Zengar Frio was amazing, amazing He's a very strong, very strong player And this type of adaptation You need to be alive in a loser's side He needs to be cold blood You can see that Well named Yeah Again, what really stands out to me is the grenade calls Because it wasn't just all the easy You know, I do a shadow kick and call grenades It was that too But he found a lot of great hits in neutral Just from calling grenades at the right moments in footsies And that was really, really cool to see He also had great reactions He was able to shut down a lot of what Black Storm would like to do Because he was able to react with EX Shadow Kick through low hat On reaction to whiff punishes as well That Ostra has from the other side of the screen almost So great stuff That said, of course Black Storm played great also Down to the final round here He had great defense a lot of the time His offense looked really strong Huge damage that that character always has It was a match with a lot of technique of MK1 Very good to watch Oh, just unfortunate that worked out there for Black Storm He was hoping Zengar Frio would stay on the ground Not a bad bet But that's happened to be when Zengar Frio moved forward up in the air And that was it That was ultimately what it came down to So awesome pool That was sick Our six competitors who have qualified out of this On Winner's side Nicholas and Conqueror Maybe no surprise Doing the best here Then in Loser's side Our Axioma and Mano Phelps And then as we just saw It is Flame and Zengar Frio From the other side as well Into Loser's top 24 All great players Strong players I'm happy to see that We will see They playing again Absolutely right So that's it for Pool B There are still two pools today We're only half of those pools today We are on the half of the event Exactly right So we're gonna take a quick break We'll be back with Pool C after this We're gonna have some fantastic players Ready for you up here Who have made the top eight As you would expect We have some of the very best players In the world Welcome to pro competition The pinnacle of Mortal Kombat 1 gameplay A role paved for challengers and conquerors A test of might As players fight towards a spot At final combat Players from around the globe Are looking to show off their skills To those watching However If you talk to competitors at events There's something more to pro competition Beyond the search for a champion It's my first time seeing a lot of people Because I used to play them online I used to talk to them all the time In the chat, Twitch chat So really with the pro commentary It's the community aspect Of bringing everyone that we never got a chance To really see in person And really build that relationship From that point on It feels good man After COVID You know everything shut down And everything pretty much stopped So you know it feels good To be back out here in this environment And everybody getting back together And enjoying the new era That is Mortal Kombat 1 Pro competition is more than just the gameplay It's the sense of community And for players who've been waiting for its return It's equally about sharing a passion For Mortal Kombat through competition A lot of guys live for this Including myself I competed for over 10 years Did it for the love of it And a lot of people love this You get to build that relationship Talk about tech Exchange ideas And really you just get that vibe Being with somebody who actually likes the game As much as you do For players who've only experienced competition Through the online battles and combat league The one thing players want you to know Is that they're always welcoming new combatants You know I can't find them nowhere But you might know number one It's Ninja Killer I want to fight him I got to Get to see Rewind I have it in my pool So I get to go up to him And be like hey Please let me hit you Please let me hit you I'm just looking I'm just trying The beauty in competition is truthfully The fellowship from the players There's just no better feeling Than sitting next to people you may friends with Through Mortal Kombat Because these memories last a lifetime What people are missing whenever they're Sitting at home playing online Is they're missing the energy levels Whenever they come to an offline event Such as ECT right now The energy levels, the intensity It's definitely a once in a lifetime type of feeling This is my first time being here I was supposed to go to the last one But I wasn't able to make it to that one This is another experience right here I love all of this I'm not going live I came towards the tail end of the last pro tour So being at the actual pro tour Is really exciting Because I don't know I love the offline feel It's an amazing feeling Definitely come to the events Live events I mean online is great But offline is where it's really at So you get to see the people Playing next to somebody You can't recreate that online Always come to the events With these memories The tales can be told From the diamonds that Sonic Fox And their skills have shown To Ninja Killer And his talents as an online warrior To being the biggest threat sitting beside you The new era will be promising This is pro competition This is no time to smile Hell yeah it is Fight a fire god Is coming off my bucket list Think me a monster Who so enjoy killing you What's going on everybody Welcome back to the Mortal Kombat 1 Pro competition Here in Brazil Biu How's it going man Yes we have been Talking about Quan Chi For two days Two possible only Quan Chi players In the building They're sitting right here We're sitting right here But we're not here to talk about Quan Chi We're here to talk about Everyone else Because As you've clearly seen There's been some ridiculous matches already Only half of it Half way through Because now we're about to enter Our third group of the day As a biased European We have one Specific player in this group MK Javier That I will be Keeping a very close eye on All day Keep there Professional All day has just been sat down In the casuals area And has just non-stop Just been sat down Grinding Playing Getting as comfortable as possible But now It's game day Yeah so We are here live and alive If you don't know me My name is Biu I'm a Brazilian caster But right now I'm living a dream Because I'm next to you I'm a big fan of you You humble player We have Quan Chi players Man it's going to be Amazing I'm a Brazilian Brazil I'm very excited to show the world The Brazilian scene We have some good players We have Kalishnok Right now is for me The best player in Brazil But we have so many fights To watch We have a good Sub-Zero player It's a hiding Okay Don't spoil that But We had some good matches right We had a Shao Kahn Yes It was amazing Shao Kahn and Darius Shao Kahn is viable General Shao General Shao We've got to keep it General Shao I cannot let my 30 years Of nostalgia overtake Yeah General Shao I'm sorry But then Shao Kahn is really good Versus Which Was Shao Kahn Versus I don't remember Oh, Oshra Oshra Yeah Shao Kahn is really good On this match Because he can Finish very good The armor Buttons as well Yeah He's got range to compete But I mean like A fresh new set of players Sitting down to play And of course I don't know About it But The big thing about Pro competition The offline stops This one being You know, we're live From Sao Paulo Here in Brazil Gorgeous city Yeah Lovely weather Which I much appreciate As anyone that Currently lives in the United Kingdom knows That the weather Ain't so lovely Right now I made a joke About mustard Earlier I was like He's still At home Having to struggle With that Getting rained on Could really be Of all the players That we have in our group Mk Javier Is one of the main Heavy hitters Am I not mistaken That there is a certain Very good Johnny Cage In this group Actually There's a lot of Johnny Cage players here Johnny Cage is a good character Right I mean There's a lot of Johnny Cage's We had Sanga Frio On the tournament as well But Man, I Really looking forward To see Kung Laos Because we have Two good players Playing Kung Laos Kung Laos actually is A good character In my opinion Because Kung Laos have The best Armor The best Special move In the game That's it Your opponent Has a taste For a split second Of hesitation That arm is coming out Right And then there's Four more arms On the way in Because You need to fight Look at the bar And look at the Camel All the time All the time But one thing We're sort of Just staying in the same place And We're sort of just chatting About the game and that The biggest concern That Javier has In this group Is the sheer amount Of Johnny Cage players Because It's actually a bad matchup It's a matchup After talking to Javier At Johnny Cage We never match, right? Not every Not every match You know Not every match But He's good at punishing Certain scorpion Things that involve Striker You know He's got Advancing buttons He has low pokes He has really fast armor And if I'm not mistaken One of our Possible bracket Threats Sits before you With Johnny Cage Right here One of the players That Javier has Actually been The most concerned about Chocolate, right? Yes, indeed Yes, a Player from Washington Very good player He won A lot of tournaments In Washington But Now Let's go, baby High time I mean Perfect example here You've got the Baraka Striker We've got Johnny Cage And Kung Lao But I mean What is this matchup?  Try to go for Maybe That could have possibly Been like a cheeky side Whatever But look If these drops happen Make them happen Now At the very beginning And not later When it matters Yes So Life lease for Shockwave He's going down I mean Striker Is definitely The issue here Right? Oh, yeah I mean He is the machine That allows Baraka to thrive There are other Ambitions You can pair him with But The utility of those Grenades Yeah I mean Those kind of moves Are really important Against Striker Because if you Have the ability To just Ignore those grenades It can Totally swap a match up However Side-twitch grab To start the round off Chocolat now With the First round And importantly Alex Kind of near The corner a bit So it has to There EX projectile I want to Create distance And get away From there As far as possible Classic Kunglao low-hatch Shadow kick The Eternal Oh Cops Nice damage there Nice conversion Nice which we saw Here we go Safe job Right In this position now All about the corner You know If we can establish it Great However Baraka There's a lot of Meter to work with there The Striker We're going to Try and go for a grab We trade But it's not the end of The world Simply to kill Unless we spend meter He's dead Oh He's fucked Now he's dead Tried to set up an Almost total checkmate Situation You know Even if you survive there The meaty button's coming You got a Striker behind you I like this door Baraka is a Very good play Very good character The Striker Make everything safe Some situations Advantages In others Armor break Kind of everything An aggressive Baraka could possibly Want here Virtual game Low hats What's going on? We're punished again We're just going to Not play around here You know You can stick out a button That kick's coming The breaker Getting a little bit of Striker away too So not the end of the world Baraka Blockable 2-1-2 Oh The damage is there Let's see Plus Less That was really cheeky Actually You know they're going to Enforce the 1-1 And it finishes the string I mean if that third hit Hit The game was over Very difficult run For Alex And it's over man 1-0-2 Chocolate Very good Virtual game play I mean it's Johnny Cage With the best camera In the game So And at the same time Even that final moment Baraka enforcing The overhead Johnny Cage has a Six frame down one You know Just being able to squeeze Out that down one In situations Other characters Might not necessarily Be able to do it Check it every time Absolutely Nice confirm The shadow kick ender Put us back to that Mid-screen situation The threat of the corner Is definitely here though Get out of here striker Had enough of you Fan down Okay if that was going to be him I'll take this corner Oh they're coming Okay nice break Let's move on Just grab So the position is very good For Okay Not an amazing situation For Baraka at the moment Wow No real commitment To the punish though Here in Brazil we call this School like potote Oh yeah Yeah They're micro ducks Oh I see I understand Well I'm sure we'll be hearing And seeing that A lot more throughout this bracket Cause that's such a common strategy Plus frames Court pressing buttons Presses at a down Down one of it What Oh look Not punch It's not a drop Not punch Side switch And then End with the star power That was an optimal ender right there I was ready to screen the drop But it There's a method here Oh punish is it Goes in for a jump in I mean You go for a jump attack too early And you are going to be vulnerable On landing cage With those advancing buttons Another big jump in here I can't It's really working here Okay the hype meter What's going on Let's see The choices stuff Oh You want to press mate I'm invincible None of that And the first hype meter Gameplay here On the parry Oops It's a damage hand man Very clean Very good gameplay I mean It's a very well played Johnny Cage And it's the kind of It really for me Is the level of efficiency That In this kind of bracket It's always going to be dangerous Cause Johnny Cage The thing about him is He's a common character Almost hypocritical You're always going to say that Oh and speaking of which The mirror match Ask Parallel Now receive However not a hundred percent A mirror match Despite the fact that They're both playing as Van Dam It's Kano versus Kung Lao So an immediate difference Will be less health And Kano definitely have Good conversion right Absolutely The question is How is this match up Going to fair Because Cage and Lao And it's kind of like Match made in heaven Kano is going to give you A lot more of that Ambush utility But the cost of Significantly less health Where 900 versus 950 Versus Cage Can be a pretty big deal And there's another Combo there That's a big deal Good deal Goodbye for Alex Oh The water Bit of a mis-time On that anti-air unfortunately Old string coming out Keeping your shadow kick Nice and safe Thanks to Lohat 2-1-2 Okay No confirm there unfortunately Time for the miracle Maybe Alex can do it Oh the carrot Oh the carrot Now the reeds Big root here The damage The carny-carry It's happening Doesn't get the end of though Kano those knives Should have been The end of the round And importantly Opted not to use Fatal Blow either So Oh The shadow kick man On the nipples It was an important Round to win Because if you had That utility And chose not to spend it And then you lost the round That was your game to win Let's see If the miracle is happening Or not Well Starting off with an up block One of the characters You're definitely more inclined To up block Because that Johnny Cage Jump kick is just So strong It's a risk to anti-air Button it Get a good pressure Let's see Alex trying to Make a comeback here Maybe Armour I mean Almost checkmate here Try to get the extra chip Oh It's I mean screen positioning wise Yep Match point for chocolate And even better Considering your opponents Back against the wall Whiffs it Get greedy with the punish So quite rightly Just let it rock However Alex Push this way Back out there The mid-screen we go Hang on for it Take a second to play Okay, the cat A lot of respect here Good neutral game That's how it goes A lot of folks Respect, respect But now We have a conversion But It's a break The shadow kick Ow Versions Hey Alex Show me the moves Plus Tries to go for another risky parry Those parries haven't worked so well Since the character change Although I'm a bit of a liar there Able to escape However And okay Alright Okay Chouan We have a game here Maybe Is happening I don't know I mean if anything It's just a complete Change of momentum You know You quite dominantly lose Those first two matches Edel said it well Because the parry was a problem Yes A lot of parries Good grid by Alex Another one But now Oh What What's happening I mean The threat of the cameo The loud teleport Always there to mess up your punish Over commits though And that's a clean Salsa damage there Broken out Hard to blockable though Unfortunate Has equalized the health Bit of a micro duck Underneath another reverse throw though Get out of here Kano Nice D1 A lot of D1s We're checking But now we have a confirm The damage is there Very good house For a shuffle H Let's see And it's over Match punch again In that situation When you get hit by that low poke You have to either Perfectly flawless block Or hope your opponent Somehow Just doesn't press that button right Because I mean There ain't nothing you're doing Match point now though Yeah A lot of this Yeah Difficult situations Good choice to forward throw Have a life lead here You're gonna have more range present Wow Rare footage of the eye laser Being used on purpose Okay Solid gameplay here The parry again But now It's a burnish Oh Drop it That's a lot of damage to leave on the table In this situation So On the screen Let's see Oh Grab Stop going good for Alex A trade But When you have more of a life lead Cannot recover What It's a conversion That is sick I'm so used to seeing That kind of combo Only from nut punch Whereas I guess If you do land The overhead end of there If you break it from the first hit The opponent's still on the ground And you can still get yourself A nice little chunk of damage In that case It's gonna close out the match And that will be Chocolate now Moving on As we've only just started The bracket But a good show It gets me every time I mean it's a drop No it's a combo Sorry You're wrong But man Nice gameplay I mean Alex Did a great job Fighting one of the favourites On this bracket We've seen a good conversion As well And Definitely Johnny Cage Was a better character Right It just Allowed you to fight Fire with fire A little bit right Because like The thing about the Baraka Striker there Was that Just wasn't really having An opportunity to play the game Just getting out Neutraled You stick out a button And that launching kick From Cage Was hitting like Every other time Which sometimes It's reaction Sometimes it's just good Prediction Because you know The opponent's gonna try And stick out a button Like I don't know If this Baraka is standing Two Maybe you're down four Or something The ambush gameplay Right Do the The combo start Yeah Exactly At least when you were able To force the Johnny Cage mirror You all of a sudden Have access to The exact same tools With the exception Of there being Slightly different cameos Where clearly the Kano Was still kind of working anyway Because Whether it was things on block Into Kano Ball Whether it was the knives It was Different but similar When it comes to Johnny Cage He wants to play the same game That cameos just Gonna change like One or two Small things He's gonna Change your play style Yeah The character is good So you can choose Whatever you want But definitely it Changed your style And strategy But that's just one way To start the show When it comes to this Third block anyway I mean there's a lot of people Were sort of talking about Players that are in this group I saw I saw a chocolate's name Appear quite regularly I think he's definitely One of the players That people are looking at In this bracket and thinking You know Definitely top 24 Potential More than likely Further beyond that Because you know Once all of our players Make it out of their groups And you start that top 24 They're really Insane matches Will begin And that's where You can see The return of You already have the twins On the winners Definitely the word Is watching right now The twins They want every set With trio Every single set That's amazing And it's a great Confidence boost If anything Because I mean The twins don't need The confidence Because like They kind of know How they shape up Yes That's not surprise here Yeah They know how capable they are In like South American tournaments But then When they do travel To the North American events That success Is very much Just continued You know In MK11 The only player That was able to Put a stop to it Was Ninja killer Ninja killer He was the only one You know That Evo was And the final was amazing It was the perfect story Because they had They had just been So dominant for two years And it just looked like No one could touch him And then obviously the final And the people Talk about it Yeah, they do Everyone wants to see him Let's see There's a reason Going into Mortal Kombat 1 Scorpion, Prox and Nicholas Were just Instantly people are like Right How are these two Playing the game You know What characters are they Playing What their play styles like A lot of that For me is expected At the moment All the strong characters They're there Using common characters That everyone else is playing But they're still managing To squeeze out this like Extra couple of percent Of optimal damage And just couple that With ridiculous fundamentals Yeah, actually we are The first stage of The competitive lifetime Right So we are discovering Who is the stronger And actually This is the first year So we are having Good surprises here We have a lot of Young players as well Right here in Brazil We have Henry 16 years old Very good And people like this You know The young players They don't care about Win or lose They don't have the pressure They just having fun And the twins are Just like this They don't want to Compete You know They just Having fun That's the problem Because it's a danger When your opponent It's a danger A guy in the record When your opponent Is playing And they're just having Like the time of their life They are a scary opponent Because they're not going to Feel the same pressure Yeah Because everyone else And their pressure really war Is on tournaments Yeah, players may I think a lot of community Can sort of like Really Put players on a pedestal And they almost force That kind of pressure But as long as The player themselves Isn't feeling it There's not much to worry About Looks like we see Sindellao The first one I have seen today One of the teams That many people say Is a real contender For that top three Reiko But Reiko Darius Normally thought As a thing of the past But looks like The Darius being kicked here I wonder What is there that Tremor can't do better But man This guy Fizzle gave One of the best players In Brazil Just check it out Because The pedestal By far They play strike And from the right So You're going to see A bullet Ending it with That nice little Knockdown from the air Projectile That's the first Ooh Not sure About that Reiko though Definitely Bars was Just gone The problem is You're now going into round two Your back is still against the corner You would have had To make an insane comeback And Unfortunately It just didn't work out So now you're going into This next round You've got nothing to fight back You've got a path Reversed Excuse me Really Controlling Fight Did not expect that Projectile Absolutely Very good round Very good match Just controlling Just zoning Just searching the trades But it really Needs to Step up And make a rush down Cause It's a physical game Yeah It's going to take a lot And it's there The second you trade projectiles That low hat is ready Here's the problem And when I see Reiko Darius these days I'm just not that sure In the team Because What a lot of Reiko Wants to do That was working With Darius Tremor Really does Do it better Now The problem is We didn't get a chance To see Darius Used A single time In that match And at least When you have the Tremor here And you're fighting Someone with these projectiles In the zoning You call in Tremor Just to like Tank some of these projectiles You know If you know the opponent Is going to throw a Sindel projectile And you call in Tremor He's going to absorb that And your Your stars are going to Go through and win the trade Right Like We're almost a A complete game and a half And I haven't seen Darius once Definitely Darius is not working This hasn't had the opportunity That's the problem Darius Like this Is built to get close And combo off things But The chance hasn't arisen Yeah Oh There's the click Sindel's Going to call back Kung Lao Much faster now And that's I think about it there Because She can play Every single time Of playstyle She can rush down She can zone She can do whatever she wants Alright I mean Instantly going in For the wake up movement To eat the crab I understand that Because like The opponent hasn't had They would go for the biggest reward However Oh All of it All of it All of it gets spent This combo ain't going to kill But it's a setup And the setup will The hot block We need to see this The first one Exactly Now Do we go straight in For that third game These have been I think we have An instant rematch Yes, indeed Faisal Gabe is a Really sparkly To To wall We already want A legal attune And he's going Again Gonna see the same move I guess Lovely block A really good block To keep yourself alive But you are still going To be vulnerable to that pressure Caught pressing buttons I mean Are you going to try An armor at some point Or is that going to be too obvious Yes Wow The sepo game No confirms here Just Really good Oh That's a lot Another unfortunate breaker Because By breaking To understand Right I can't get hit again Lovely low poke Again Challenging the grab And that's why that Advancing mid Was able to connect The life league is Working Because the game is Just controlling the match Now Very good Very good Faisal Gabe And now It's match point Has just been looking So solid This whole game And the guy is amazing Another jump in I mean Just most of the time Challenged And Just kind of unfortunately I mean We haven't really seen a bad display From Reiko here But Sindel Lao Can be just Such a one player character In the right hand It really does give me Shades of like that Mkx Like Summoner Quan Chi You know Heart to block Restan Set up Okay Heart to block again Oh It's not going to work Therefore And it's over That trio Very clean From Faisal Gabe This guy is amazing The best Sindel person Definitely unchallenged There by Raphael The problem is just like You know The thing about the Reiko That we saw there was I don't know how much Of a believer I am In the Reiko Darius These days because And Reiko definitely Need a good camera Right He need He need the camera Just exaggerate things You know to let him Do a little bit more And the Darius Can work well But It's just We didn't see Darius Used once The only time We saw Darius there Was in a combo breaker So it's You're in a situation Where okay So Tremor has very much Kind of overtaken Darius With the Reiko utility Because at least If you're unable to You know Land a command grab And get like a full combo From that sense You can at least Use Tremor Like in your keep away You know Your opponent's going to Be throwing projectiles At you So I can Cool in Tremor Who's going to Flex to change variation I'm calling him Because while he's there We can tank a projectile If I throw My own projectile Actually it's a high attack People use Tremor To block projectiles Yeah It's super common And it's something that Reiko can use to great effect But Sadly we just Didn't really get to see Any use from the Darius there But But I like the Reiko Reiko's a good character I think he's good Yeah I think Reiko Tremor Is exceptionally good I think it's A really really strong team Very good Sony As well Man the rush down The command grab Is there So It's a Really a threat In every match You've always got to worry About it That's the thing You know The threat of the grab Even the two significant hits That we did actually See there From Raphael was I landed knock down And my opponent Is holding up Because they're afraid Of the grab So I do hit these buttons That I confirm into something And that was a really nice Couple of opportunities But Two small hits Over the course That wasn't really Going to be enough To make a substantial difference And of course We got a perfect demonstration As to why Sindel and Kung Lao Is so good right now Yeah For me Sindel Definitely is a top tier character I think so She's really good And like I said Sindel can play The keep away The rush down game Everything works She played Very good with Kung Lao She played Very good with Another cameras Like strikers So you can do A ambush game Or you can do A hatch block game But overall though So we've seen I think so far We've had a pretty Decent representation Of kind of just like What Competitive MK1 Can kind of look like At the moment You know We've seen some super Good Johnny We've only just had two matches Right And we've seen Johnny Cage We've seen Baraka With a striker We've seen Rayco And we've seen Sindel and Lao I think that's just Very much a Sort of taste of things To come Because like We've seen Nice different characters Even on our last block We saw a decent amount Of Sub-Zero And I believe I think we're going to be Seeing Sub-Zero A little bit later today As well That's always something That I've noticed About South American Mortal Kombat Is that You definitely have your Kind of like Expected characters And now We're going to see A very Very good smoke And you get Different stuff That you're not used to And what I was kind of Getting to Before I even saw this Smoke and tremor Yes That's not That ain't coming Yeah Here's a caller Some follow here Very good Smoke player Very aggressive Let's see how it goes Because this guy Is an MKX Legend Smoke If you like MKX Smoke has definitely Has that He's got some elements I mean Let's not forget Smoke in MKX Was a bit of a mix-up Machine himself But now Do something Opposite side there With the Raiden Kano Combat You kind of know What you're in for here Right Okay The Bazz is here A little mix-ups Oh The before Gonna hurt The latter Opps to hold on To the Mita Which I really like You know You can spend that Mita To extend it If you need some afterwards Because you had A breaker If you wanted that Instead In this case We're just Spend two Bazz Because you know And let's us finish Things off nice Superman That's because There's a Kano on the other side You know he's coming If a Kano If a Raiden Kano Does teleport Or Superman In the neutral There's always a Kano On the other side Yeah The turn Unfortunately That's unfortunate Going for the Wake-up invisibility And then Cooling the The crystalline armor I thought that was A cool idea actually Okay That one Yeah Good armor Let's see I can't make this comeback Wow Interrupt those cancels though We are offline here Those cancels Are going to be Significantly easier To interrupt Oops I mean Unless you flawless Block here You're in big trouble Lovely flawless Block to start No profiles What's happening Okay Teleport One life Okay The Kano Teleports Oh my god Wait Hang on No I mean Surely it must have been deliberate It must have been deliberate Oh no There was like The beginnings of A really good comeback there And it sort of Was there It just kind of fell apart Yeah The gameplay There's more gameplay Is like this I mean We've already seen Even in that first game A really impressive amount Of just the Weird sort of Tremor activity With armor Once again Let's confirm The kind of carry On this gameplay Cancels Tried to interrupt More of the Tremor stuff Calling it I mean I do always wonder Where we are going to be On the other side Yo Full combo from the overhead Yeah And it's killed well Because the damage Was Just For what Oh the damage Good round from Zeus Never I have never seen a smoke player Ever do that overhead Into Just Aftershock Ground pound into full combo Absolutely Make sure you're low A little bit more plus there With the aftershock punch The late down one there I have two bars Two bars Pretty stressful character pairing I think You'd be constantly so aware of What variation of Tremor You have active Anyone that's played this Cabin in an ocean Can easily boom sight Of which one you have In the heat of the moment Oh my god They're now there Grading Damage Let's see Oh This moves you The ball The down shoot Not connecting Let's see The bottle blows on the screen It's a problem Oh my god It's happening Maybe Maybe Aftershock launch Ten seconds The bottle blow It's coming It's gonna be a good damage Alright the clock Ten seconds on the clock It's gonna do good damage And importantly We're gonna have full Tremor now I kinda have a feeling We're gonna see something wild Into one of the ambush Tremor Okay And there it is Wait no Wait Oh he survived He survived What is this Because honestly That bowling ball was so close I would have been convinced The bowling ball would have hit Raiden Before the armour activated But I guess not Yeah that It may have What club was doing The crazier stuff He went for something that it seemed Like Tremor might have been able To make you safe with And unfortunately there with the fatal blow Maybe Just The armour was active And that's all there was to it I think a couple of frames off Maybe that bowling ball Would have beat the armour Before it started But Just was not meant to be Oh man it's too old But that ball is playing well It's always the last read I'm really liking this Tremor Stuff with the smoke I mean I know it hasn't been Enough to win the game yet But Has come close But just the final moments of clutch Fate would blow through the armour Just getting through it Okay So Let's see While I can make this game work Oh I look a bit too far away To get the armour unfortunately so The ambush comes out And Tremor loses his whole gauge But You didn't get no benefit Tries to punish But the canoes Always coming You gotta be so disciplined Conquer the damage Always tasty Always sweet Look at this Look at the red buff There was a death Wasn't able to flawless block though So it's still alive This isn't really in threat from Chip Just yet Confirmed Fate will blow I don't know No we hold on to it Let's see one more Oh the grab the whiff The ship damage Make or break Make or break flawless block right there So match point for Zils A very solid gameplay Zils is one of the best blows Here in Brazil as well He's just been playing around with this stuff Impressively You know he's been playing this Fundamental game of raid and cano But against this kind of team Your defense is massively going to get tested Because you know Not only a smoker mix up character anyway But you're now fighting an uncommon cameo Who's doing some really weird stuff So the fact that Zils haven't been able To defend against a lot of this The way he has Very very impressive Now overhead Full combo I'm going to have a confirm And there's more of his uh His heart That grab Let's see Almost kind of a Baraka strike I think that we reverse throw Oh hang on Armor Do you want The armor's good actually Because the armor does mean You're not going to be as punishable Oh the punishable Let's see The round Okay Qualum Take the first round Let's see It's too old Full combo Drops it Another one Another one Second time We've seen that Interruption though The down one There's that one again Oh he misses Delayed low Good break Let's see Oh Keeps the teleport much safer this time With the uh Wait a minute Wait a minute Does that off Does that combo The metallic I'm sure it does That must do Although he wouldn't have gone for it The color's fighting hard Strike Just a second Low punish Tell me about the cameo The breaker Oh that's right It's too long We have a game here Maybe Faller Can't do this kind of thing I am just Honestly sitting here And just enjoying the show I have almost never seen Smoke and tremor And seeing all of this wild tech That you're constantly bouncing Between different forms And Getting various different Rewards and situations It's just Really really interesting And clearly working Albeit Looks kind of hard To enforce All the trades Trains everywhere So now All this drops The combo That would have been Really big damage It's unfortunate The combo dropped The way it did And you can already see there The utility of being able to Hit that grounded String on the floor And just turn it into An aftershock launcher I'll have the life Lager strike Must be But now Must be Must frames into The action with brawl Has just been The enemy In this Yes So Zeal's keeping a sequel Oh Impressive All is in problem Oh Down one Wait a minute Keeps it safe A free side switch it was Tremor's not going to be Available for the rest Of the round though So this is now On his own That's it Yeah So definitely A match point for all Zeal's That's it But man That's how I say He came out there Hang on a minute Almost We almost got an aftershock Launcher from that telepore You have to be pretty confident That what you're going for Is going to work Because spending the entire cameo Thankfully the recharge Time of Tremor Even with both Isn't that bad And another one Red game Make this low Good reactions See it work All the low Could have been a full combo But it's a weird situation Oh The match point Let's see It's going to hurt a lot Let's see Cano's ready So it's going to be More down back three It's only a matter of time There it is Good blocks Good blocks Hot or block or follow Couldn't go for an ambush There but not I don't think it really Would have helped All that much Two bars Shit damage 21 seconds It's the overhead You know The second that back Forward three Was the attack And not the cancel And we saw the change I kind of wonder I wonder if Tremor after Shock might have turned That into a combo I don't know I've never seen it I've never tested it But every change To Tremor That we saw there Looked so deliberate That I was I was so convinced This was the heart Breaker because Yeah If that bowling ball Was just a little bit Closer to Raiden I think that would have Hit before the Fatal blows Armor would have activated But That was a good set Right there The game played Definitely He tried I mean you love to see New stuff And this is Winner's Bracket too So You know If you're a fan here Of just A sort of Collapse It Isn't going to be The end of the road Just yet This is just the first First part of the Bracket And there is still Loser's Bracket Actually He's the only one Playing smoke Right now in Brazil Yeah And tournament I mean But he tried Man Actually Tremor Was a very good Camel on this situation But The confirms Using Tremor Is You need to be Very precisely To make it works So it works In the same way With Qwenshi You really need to Make the Things On the right time Because If you don't It just looks Very demanding It kind of reminds me Of like When you see We would see Shang Tsung With Goro And some of the other cameos Where They can work Really well together They are just Very specific You know One small Little mis-imper And the whole thing Can just fall apart And It kind of seems Like that With smoke and Tremor I can see And definitely The Consistence Is really important In this game Just keep rolling It has to be Because you know If you mess something up In a game like this It's not only missing out On damage But you're missing out On like Significant setup potential As well You know If you are going to Have I'm trying to remember All the different situations We saw there From smoke We saw the overhead From I think it's the down back To Aftershock turns that Into a combo We saw The low Into the sort of Knockdown And there were a couple I'm certain That would combo It's really hard to play In high level With this Camille In my opinion I definitely I can't play it Tremor Yeah I like it I play Qwanchi And Tremor It bugs my mind Every single time You get used to it It's definitely A lot more stressful Than some of your More standard Cameos But With enough Gameplay Just pure matches Where you Kind of just get Familiar You get comfortable You got a train Yeah Yeah you do I'm father I can train That's true That is true Real life Is harsh sometimes Yeah Gets in the way Of our video games By time Just passes man But man Definitely Congratulations to Zeus He's a young player as well He's only 18 years old So He play Raiden And play Johnny Cage So He's very good That's just what the young Up and coming Mortal Kombat players do They like their top tiers Definitely And it's an important Mentality to have early To be honest Because you know If you are playing in tournaments And you want to win Like The best characters do Tend to be A pretty good option Now I mean it's a weird one Because Mortal Kombat 1 Compared to Sort of Sort of Mortal Kombat Historically A lot of the older games Always have that Rather distinct Difference between Like absolute bottom tier And absolute top tier And there's a huge margin Between them I always find that later As you go From game to game And I kind of notice this Around MK11-ish Is that Finding like The difference between The undisputed greatest character And the undisputed By far worst character Kind of gets harder And harder For people to agree on Because the gap Between them Just doesn't feel as big Like some characters Are better than others Absolutely But It was You're right A bit more tricky So this will be the next Stage of winners So Chocolate is back here With the Johnny Cage Sub-Zero And Chameleon Not the first time We've seen it today Oh, Brian's playing On this bracket Brian's the Sub-Zero guy Oh my god So this is The mysterious Sub-Zero player The Mysterio one Oh my god It's really good Let's see Sub-Zero onscreen Right now There have been whispers I tuned into Mustard's stream Earlier Because he's restreaming this And the chat was talking about Oh, if you're in Looking at block C There's a Sub-Zero player there Yeah You want to keep an eye out On a really good character And there we go Instantly Square wave from that low Turns it into a full combo And now I mean Those clones They will force Johnny Cage To spend his meter And already I expect you to press a button And when you do That forward one Is coming out Oh, good damage Absolutely Sub-Zero But the thing is though Is that Chameleon in this patch As well is Actually The damage has been slightly lowered There's a little bit more scaling Than they used to be But he still gets fantastic damage Regardless He's still a really good cam Oh yeah, absolutely Still one of the best cam Here's the game Reactive ice clone From Loha We're seeing some tech here Bit slow on the reaction There though from the slide Let's see if we get Blocked and Punished I have the corner right now I love that Knows that Johnny Cage Is now minus off That Loha low-hatch Is trying to force a mix-up In that case the back three Did get blocked But the idea was there Could block That's a mix-up Overhand That's a mix-up If you block back three And Melina's there That's low or overhead And both will combo Alright Punish One Two Three Alright This combo's going to take a long time And what it's going to do Is give time to the cameo To come back Plus Okay, the safe jump Oh, he missed it Drops it!  And you know That slide's hitting When Katana disguise is ready Oh, that's a full combo, mate In the corner That combo's a bit harder to hit It's a tutorial I'll catch you Punish Okay Oh, and we're timing our back too To make it so it hits At the same time as Glaive So it scales less That is some tech right there Oh, you didn't know Okay I'll try to get my comeback Classic coin carry Get off break I'll try to push my back in But The flash is really pushing the rush down game That's the two-one-two rock I mean, there are instances here Where Cage can armor But is Chocolate going to want to Like part with the armor When you lose the breaker Oh! Almost Oh, this was fun Let's see The damage And the fatal blow Nice break What? Oh, hit before the lift could apply Okay He tried It's not safe like this It was a good attempt I mean, if the slide hit That was a full combo There's that backboard too That clone push So good at hitting The opponent And Kung Lao at the same time Yes Let's see This bolt Punishes the down one with his own And Cage Down one stapled there Alina available Will we have a chance? Launching armor Look at them Let's see They're quiet, they're safe Oh, they're not chill That's definitely one thing I'm noticing in Brazil this week That is The emphasis on a meaty neutral jump On the opponent's wake up They just don't have time to up block No one do this here Yes, it's really common But I just don't see it much elsewhere Yeah Didn't want to over commit That would have been a rather obvious up block I think, so I'll go for the empty jump instead Let's see The flash is now trying to make this Neutral game works Let's it go There's a fence Oh, the jump free Let's see Brian's defending Has to flawless block He's alive Down one Punish Survives It doesn't work Let's the whole thing go And you put yourself minus Yeah The second you were minus there That was a very different story But EX clone To make yourself not as punishable Unfortunately Couldn't get anything from it But it brings us to a one One, okay And it was an EX clone It doesn't work like he came to use Up block Jade Glaive Again Get that back to it It's kind of tight But you can get certain hits When the Glaive hits Ooh Safe jump Not so safe Addier Down one That's a good match here Well played Careful There's like significantly more Rushdown from chocolate When he notices That Brian has the Glaive You know, just cannot Allow superior to establish That range And then back forward too That clone push So good in these instances The mix-ups this time is correct Full combo Nice break Oh, the mix-up Let's see the point of care is the damage Are we going to spend the meter to kill? One Only one needed But it is more than enough To get that job done That first round But very clean gameplay by this So good Lovely up block From that ban lift, however Drop to combo Ooh, tries to punish Bit of hesitation there Glaive Yeah, Glaive not really as good I mean, I'm sure in this patch It is a little bit trickier to Get around Oh, ban lift Wow Nice confer Let's see We are going to have Malina But by the time she's ready It might not have time to enforce It's Jaden now Right, reverse throw Glaive Just checking And a very good round By chocolate Need a bit more The dash in throw Reverse throw in this case So Brian Need to miracle I like that standing one actually Oh, let it rock Nice Great, try to press The break Okay, we'll have a fight here Sub has fatal blow To bars He's fishing for it Oh, the overhead Nice block Wait a minute Right, that was scale That's good of scale Nice use Alright Scaled a lot Yeah Definitely the life lead to see it We're just going to scale like mad But we're going to end this combo With a life lead And full chameleon Let's see Last decision One-one The glaive The clone There it is And it's over Two-one What a choice Fatal blow To make sure we have Entirely Like the whole chameleon back We know it's going to be Jade Because we just had Malina So that's going to be two glaives We have clone push Which is mid And if you trade with any of these The round is mine Too many things to think about I love it Try to turn it into a armored launcher But chocolate not quite ready to Get something significant from it Not the reactionary block Alright, the glaive pack Oh, the berry It's going to be full combo Alright, on wake up we have Malina Oh, I had a feeling I had a feeling it was coming It's the minus frames Again, it forces a button The backup just in case I think chocolate has learned a lesson right Not to be too button heavy there Because you press And that forward one just Shoes you up That mix-up once more Works out And the benefit here is Sub-Zero's combos take so long But it's just so much time For the cameo to come back How sad Now these fundamental mix-ups Like the back three and back two They haven't worked so good The real mix-ups have come from When Malina is there And you get the threat of back three Yeah, that's all fans And speaking of which The ones you can't react to Are working wonders The ones you can Chocolate has been on it Yeah Minus But not unsafe Enforces the throw from it Believes in the round No! The hat Forcing a jump And ready Pull the trigger on that shadow kick Two-one, Brian Nice work on chocolate We have a fight here It's not over yet Alright, the down one Acknowledges the low hat To a little bit too far away And I am invested in this match I tell you what How often, I mean There's been a good amount Of Sub-Zero today And the level just keeps climbing And climbing Mix-up Okay The overhead So many back three fours Of hit It was only a matter of time Until that overhead was coming And it was, again Oh, might have considered it The back dash into forward one Has consistently beat that down one Oh, so much good damage You hit the clone push And come out That's confirmed That's the round It's over, no! The reset, the reset Interesting I don't think Chocolate would have broke that To be honest No! Oh no! Now a fatal blows a real threat Okay, Brian Still have the bar to break But They're very different Match point here For Brian That Sub-Zero Melina There is one Melina ready But will you have time? I don't think so It's Jade Full combo Let's see No break This is a scary game To play Not breaking this Yeah, the damage is good No versions Mix-up Mix-up Overhead The break Down one again Overhead Let's see It's a punish ice clone So if you want a clone here Cage cannot stop it So Upon a pressure Let's see Brian Try to make his work Such a good throw Forward throw Go for the less obvious direction Melina Uh oh Low hatch Keep that Melina at bay You do not want to deal with Another unseeable mix-up It's now time for Jade Do not get hit, my friend The version though Oh, he tried This is a combo Let's see The drop again Grab Three bars for Brian And Chocolates Don't do the full combo tool Good block That low Kept him in this game The block on the low Allows Chocolates to stay alive Again, the throw He's respecting the bars No break so far We are getting good chip regardless The ice clone To keep us safe from the low hatch Slide! That's it! That's it! That's combo Uh Uh With the conversions So, man Three-one Sub-Zero and Chameleon is a match Made in heaven And played at that level Ridiculously good stuff You play Sub-Zero? A little bit, yeah Really? Yeah I play mostly Sub-Zero Darius But Was one of the first things I tried Was when Chameleon came out I was like, you know I kind of think that Sub and Chameleon's kind of nice And there's a lot of other Sub-Zero players You like to use Yeah Fast cooldowns But the fact that all three Of the disguises Will give Sub-Zero a significant upgrade That helps his kit You know Meta-less combo potential Doesn't need to spend resources on it Way more mix-ups One of his weaknesses before Back three versus back two Kind of reactable at this level of play The second you add Melina's ball roll She gives him so many Unseeable mix-ups Yeah And of course A lot of layers Just layers upon layers And a lot for the opponent To have to keep track of But man Well played by Choclatch Is now in the loser's side Of the brackets I consider this an upset Not necessarily because of You know I know that there were Whispers of Brian People were saying I was watching Mustard who's Restreaming this right now And there were people in the chat Saying There is a Sub-Zero player In this bracket That you need to keep an eye out on And look no further But just Sub-Zero Being able to perform at this level Versus a character like Cage Played by the likes of Choclatch It's just Choclatch is one of the players That people were looking out for A real top eight contender Someone that players are worried about Sub-Zero with that upset In one of the first rounds In this group stage This character is just So much fun to watch I know people can't decide Whether we think Sub-Zero is good Or bad Or whatever Clearly Sub-Zero can compete At this level Otherwise we wouldn't have seen that result And just in the right hands as well Like with that level of just Being able to juggle this cameo The way you have to At the cable management right The most difficult part of this gameplay Because you need to keep an eye Keep an eye on the bars On the life lead and So many of those sequences Came down to Absolutely knowing right I'm doing this now And by the time this combo is over Or by the time this fatal blow has concluded Or whatever it is I know exactly what disguise is next And how long I've got And what I can do with it Like if you mistimed any of that By a few seconds The whole plan just falls to pieces And man Milena is really good On a rush down game Because she creates everything The openings right They love the overhead Really work it really well So the 50-50 is there The scariest 50-50 That she was giving him Was the back three Because back three four low low We've blocked that a million times Who cares? The second that roll exists Back three overhead Unseeable full combo Back three four The low option You can just square wave it Now we have the Spanish hero Versus From sub zero to scorpion It's now time for MK Javier Yeah man What a pro comp So we have different characters A lot of hype We have Zeus once more On the string Which would confirm that Javier won his first match Because this is the next round In the tournament So Javier would have definitely won his first match To be here Zeus versus Panther's very own MK Javier Okay I believe the sponsor is misspelled There is Panther Not Panther Okay Let's see Scorpion the screen Now these matchups And like these situations Javier A combat league demon But also highly successful In our very own pro competition With the intercontinental combat A lot of these matchups He has played Hundreds of thousands of times To the point where He's ready for the overhead He's already preemptively doing the up You know And this is just him Showing Zeus And the damage man Scorpion really hits high He does And this round is Javier telling Zeus Whatever level you want to play at I'm telling you I'm already here Right? Yeah I'm already at this level So man Look at their lifeline Really good Javier really playing the neutral On the match The folks Yeah I mean just keep yourself nice and secure A striker we have Out of the world Another flawless block Keeping you alive But you do challenge Forcing a 2-1 to land Nice and clean Javier off to a Fantastic start Just keep it simple right? Use of the striker very well Down one Always a bit of a mix up I mean the threat of the low Of the storm self A raiden is so severe He is going to be able to do Back to back pokes Because you have to respect Down that drill The moment you release block That move is blocked I'm in! Alright But now it's the damage The conversions Let's see The damage Oh my god Crazy No need to use Kano Kano would have added Like an extra 20-30 damage Why? You can get that in chip later Overhead Ground by the Brazilian The low Ship damage And now Really solid Almost perfect ground Reverse of momentum Very same thing Happened on the opposite Effect In this case it will be Just the mid Javier Okay They keep that back free As safe as possible Not always Wow Downwind Check the momentum Overhead Javier Now going to be forced On the defense A good floor block On that storm cell though Forward throw Don't have to care about that Because the cameos Still in play Okay So Javier Now controlling the game But this is the element Of Javier That's so good His backwards movement Scorpion's back dash It's one of the best Back dashes in the game It might even be the best His backwards movement Is so fast It's so hard to chase him down He's good at controlling the lightning Absolutely Because if he has that lightning He has these ranged buttons Wow Actually You're going to build a breaker But how much damage Are you going to take Before you can even do it Yeah I mean 100 health left Strikers ready You have got to Get ready to floor block You know The death spin is coming Man that's very difficult here It's a miracle Javier doesn't He knows he hasn't got Go for extended I have the bar Oops The jumping That's great I don't know why Nice break So we're ready And Really good around I mean Good control right Patient That's the big thing Javier can be A explosive player However Can be Crushingly patient Like if he has the life lead And he is constantly Dancing backwards Backwards backwards That's a good strategy Bladespark Yeah I mean It's a huge part of the character It's why it's back to It's teleports Good anti-air You know If they do jump At a bad time You can take damage there Forward three The death spin Doesn't have to use strike You can seize a hit Get back down here Oh my god Spend the meter 111 They're blind Okay The bombs The pressure Let's see Javier's trying to grab But nobody's home Keep it nice and simple With a forward throw Meet standing two Wow Excellent run by Javier That's the thing It's like Scorpion doesn't have The most oppressive buttons In the world But what he does have Is range And damage man Yeah He has the range where You think you're safe To press a button And all of a sudden You're eating A stack of two Or a back three Or anything That's it Go Scorpion Can't run a shit Tries to get the dash In standing two Nice and confirmable Okay You know Let's see the Double shift Here Nice break Start up the combo Javier's trying to Make something here I mean not the worst throw That you can take In that situation A few more knockdowns And you are in big trouble though Just raiding with All that meter He's going to Chip you away To confirm It really works Wow Okay He's trying to Here The chip damage And now it's over So nice throw By Zeus I can hear the crowd There is definitely going to be A significant home At this point Definitely People are cheering a lot Javier was able to Experience that himself At UFA A few months ago But now definitely On the other side Of that crowd Definitely So Let's see So No break 40% damage That's it Like doesn't really Want to establish Much corner pressure Javier doesn't Really have that So Land the knockdown Dance back to a Sweep distance And just keep playing The distance game Because this is where You're comfortable The class can hit you Entire Let's see Oops Stand in one Okay No bar here It's possible There's meter There's Kano Never say never Okay All right Oh no Ah That is a One decision Mishap Yes Yeah That's the worst I hate it when that happens to me Yeah This romance Copper is really good Yes It's happening In front of me You said I've seen a top cheer character Born You said to me Before we started this block We talked about the possibility Of Sub-Zero And we know Javier's there And you're like Yo If we can get Like a Scorpion Sub-Zero Thing Or I mean The dream The dream Is currently alive Is the same bracket Is it the same? Oh Give me that damage, man Give me that damage Striker Red bar I'm calling law enforcement Okay Put the boots Where's the grab bike Javier Let's see Bars Uh-oh Uh-huh Ah It's a weird one, yeah I know in the corner Javier's like Just doing three, four On it's own Maybe just a little bit Of an accident there Striker Striker Just Take sure Bars The pressure Woo Nice I mean It's not going to be worth the break They're not even going to have it Even if Zeus wanted to break there It's like you've got One bit of health left Match point A three-zero Would be insane Yeah Does it like A three-zero Let's it rock Wake up Rare footage of the wake up Coming out Javier But when it really matters Okay, done one Let's see Pressure Damage The me timing for Zeus Has been Kind of off in this set There's been so many Just a little bit too early EX spear Wanna shut it down Oops Get some damage Knows Kano's coming But we can maybe trade favorably Just trying Let it rock No strikers coming There is one benefit You know Raiden's armor Is going to be a little bit too slow To kind of find the gap between that Oh Your blade is nicked Nice break Let's see That random spear Is the hardest hitting weapon In the arsenal of scorpion It's always ready And I'm never ready Okay, three bars Alright We're almost blocked though We're shutting it all down Wait for the down one Striker Reverse throw 15 seconds on the clock Three bars Another one So really A really good situation For our behavior Let's see The striker I mean have you just Yeah Not really No reason to do anything else Yes man Excellent game play by Javier Really good Really good Controlling the match Controlling the life lead The resources The cameo I mean it's perfect This is how You win using scorpion You know what is Is going to be just Insane If we need to double check that bracket Let me see here Javier was worried about chocolate Because I think they were in the same path However Actually Javier is already in the top 24 Alright So we may see them later Yes There is a chance I was thinking so Javier was talking about chocolate In his bracket I'm not I'm nervous about this Because I know he's in my group And he plays Johnny Cage And I don't really like that matchup That's why it's one of the matchups He picks cameo He picks cameo for cage So I imagine they were in like the same path So I'm like Yo if we saw sub zero move forward The chance Watching Javier go up against A sub zero of that caliber Would just be like Such a treat for the audience But all the same though A three zero I mean That's the first time we saw Javier today Would have been playing in his group The entire way through Obviously we only have time For so many matches on stream But Javier Making the most out of his stream time For sure But now we have an excellent match We have Lay it on me Bryan versus Fezzel Gabe So we have Sindel versus sub zero Sub zero is going to have to He's going to have to work through the top tears Yes He's having to work through the top tears And it's a really difficult matchup for me Because Sindel came to win the thing in this game Yeah Kidzani I don't know how Bryan's going to Approach And make this rush down game Sub zero don't have this neutral game I'm not going to lie though I'm happy that Sindel's really good In the Mortal Kombat I say for once Because you know She was She was pretty good at MK11 But I think it's fair to say That she was definitely more online oriented A lot of her stuff was kind of Harder to react to online and offline He had to have like a different style She had the best measure The best button in the game MK9 She wasn't so hot However Actually God I'm really upset There is a Sindel player That was like legendary In MK9 From South America If I'm not mistaken I think I think I'm right It's been a long It's such a long time ago But I remember You remember online? I wonder if the player's name Was Oscar Broly I think maybe I don't know The name is It's on the tip of my tongue But it was so long ago I just remember Sindel And it makes me think But my point yeah Was that Sindel and MK9 Was kind of She was a hard character To win with You know what I'm saying So now we're in MK1 And Sindel was like Real good Real good I'm fine with that You know what I mean Like she deserves to be Really strong And at least one game Yeah it definitely Fizzle Gabe is the best Man It's the best of Sindel We have good Sindels here We have another player But definitely Fizzle Gabe Is the best And he played Striker too We don't see Striker on this tournament With Sindel But Kung Lao and Sindel For me is the best duo I feel like If we're talking like I don't want to get too hung up On tier lists Because that's obviously not What we're here for But like I feel like If I'm looking at like Top three strongest teams In the game I feel like Lao and Sindel Is like in that running Definitely I feel like It's just right there But I mean We're talking about the strengths Of these characters Because It's a matchup We're about to see But also We're going to be treated To more of that sub-zero And I know that people at home Will be excited to see that Because people are always wanting To see sub-zero He's just not Very common He's really common online But he's not really common Like in tournament You know what I mean He's a weird one If you're in combat league There's like Low to sub-zero Yeah People just enjoy play sub-zero But here We play tournaments So People need to make money And such And we have to have results Right Hey look I mean I think after After seeing like Sub-zero like that I mean It's I know there's going to be A few people that are like Yo, hang on a minute Let's talk about this Sub-zero character For a minute You know The chameleon has just Added so much To this character's Yes Ability To compete You know Are many of the weaknesses Have been Not like Fixed as such But they just kind of Give him a bit more To work with However This is going to be Another difficult match To conquer Okay Another hill to climb It is It's not just the matchup It's the player You know It is the player Absolutely Because Faceos We've clearly seen Immensely talented So Let's go man Rayon vs. Fezzel game Alright We activate the glass armor Because we wanted Kitana Instantly Sliding under Projectiles Excuse me I'm getting full combo Yeah Fezzel game is playing with Striker Let's see the average game point The square wave From Molina To compete In the zoning Play full combo Okay 2-1 No 1-2 Maybe trying to get That corner carry The low is back That instant square wave Is going to be Pretty powerful against Sindel She's doing a lot of those Instances Yeah She's jumping So she is going to get Kind of sniped Out of the air by Molina She's not careful Second Alright Clone Give me that world's longest Combo please Because I want to get My cameo back But the Striker is there Absolutely Defensive Striker One of the best manoevers In the game He throws things Now Bri is controlling He had the lightning Let's see Get off me He's trying to make something Works Oh Dive kick Let's see the conversion I think it's bad Let's for Molina go Because we don't need To spend any meter We'll just get the launch Without it We go into the next round 3 bars a meter Thank you very much And now it's Katana time again Really solid game Play by Briar And it's Molina next Two Oh yeah Okay Let's see No breaker Holding onto Peter How is it good? Kind of carry That one It is going to be so much more Full screen Focused Whoa Hello it's me Sub-zero In your face Your friend Yeah we're not going to have Like the crazy setup Of the loud Everything else But what we are going to have Is just way more full screen Presence Understandably Right the glow Shots down everything at range That's the danger Back to the hook a lot Let's see Book breaks No confirm But we are still going to get Good damage A lot of work required The striker grade as well Let's hit rock Alright hang on Okay There is an idea here 11 HP Let's see the mirror No It's not happening Even if that ice ball Existed That EX fireball Chew right through it Get out of here striker Really good Kick him in the head Knock his cap Let's see Rebars Dry it Really Alright Have to end it early Because we are going to Quite have the corner For clone Oh the striker man And you can't break The cops By the time you can break It's no longer worth it Oh With that one No burnish Oh Wow He missed it You have to watch out For that clone There is no one bad jump Or good jump For the opponent I suppose Yeah brain Always have bars To break you know There you go One Try to micro duck Good work Bad confirm Oh The game is really not Not confirming well Striker The late button There is a game now We have fatal blow Let's see Oops The confirm I think it's dead Now you have to break Get the breaker out But now Okay Fatal blow Ready for sub zero as well The pressure Oh the different block Let's see The first throw Possible chip incoming Whoa With the fast Oh she tanked it She tanked it Stop lives Oh Oh That dive kick almost worked If it beat the low poke That was one two Or two one fatal blow Give me that round That decision You know it's crazy how that was Only game one Yeah man We got so much more To look forward to Sounds like forever I hope it is Give me more sub zero chameleon Please What What the hell was that I don't know Love it All four characters on the screen at once On it But man Fezzolubi's now Really good at defending this Make sense He will Like it's like That defensive striker has just been shutting down So much of that sub zero Offense Look at the damage Uh uh With the red bar And striker's back That defensive striker has stopped So many opportunities of Brian Just going in Establishing one of the disguise attacks And whatever else Like you have to respect it But to do so neutralizes your entire offense Uh oh Working Okay Right By the time this combo's over There might be enough time For one Molina attack Depends on the delay There it is Okay It's weird to time that in the corner It can drop quite commonly Hey Pick up It's a big damage Oh no Whoops Let's see Brian I have a chance here Am I right in thinking This matchup is to make it out of group Uh the pool Yeah So this is a Winner side Make it out Make it out You're lacking these program Just for pulling this match There's a way to strike something here Another big jump Okay the jumping The clone push So good but so Thunderable to a jump What is he doing My palm ball There's a way to strike To make this miracle Can he do it Floorless block again But even then Doesn't do much These jump pins Bit of a nightmare The floorless blocks Counterpoop Not his dad Definitely Very bad Right Meter department All sub zero But the striker The launch What a choice Let's see The clone push is so You want to do it But at this range Even this range it's risky Freshly here Nice that one Always Always ready to check The clone Oh You go for a bad jump into clone Yeah Oh Hang on The trade Let's see it's a big damage And we're going to squeeze out a little bit Yeah We're going to squeeze out a bit more Thanks to chameleon And we have a katana We're going to enforce overhead low Oh We wait for the defense Striker Make him play It's a really clear Adjustment that Brian is having to make Because the moment the striker is available You just cannot over commit You need to play different Yeah you have to Oh Okay Oh punish Good bar Knowledge Let's see Great Two bars for Brian Start making him play Down three Another down one Overhead I got mixed up to my own My friend Oh no Brian have bars Just patient Let's see Brian Defending the slide Oops Nice break Here's the last No it's not going to work Too far Too far Oh Too far away Too old Good man It's It's not like too old I mean I can't believe it It's one of those matches It's too old I can't believe it It's a 2-0 But it's been a really long 2-0 Because of just how long These games have been Yes I can't believe it Now Brian no choice but to make The reverse sweep here You know Rain Yeah he's like He have a Rain and chameleon I mean you know more about This player than me Yeah he have a good Give me the scoop Good pocket character Actually Rain was The first character Yeah Yeah but Now Let's see man I don't know if The Rain can do it I don't know if I like the change But Brian really knows How to play Rain The sub-zero was working So well It just came down to Some small details Like for me The big one for me Was like I know it sounds Really dumb but When a Cyndel Is constantly like Jumping like that And everything else Even trying it One single time You can't jump One two with sub-zero Instant jump in To sort of Meet you in the air To say You can't just Fly around in front of me It sounds really dumb But even that one tool To meet her airborne Totally important Unfortunately I don't know If I agree with this Rain pick The sub-zero was doing Fine And you've broken Your own momentum With a different character I feel like This was a mistake Man It's a different match Because I gave it Now it's On the match point Let's see I mean look I'm absolutely Prepared to be wrong For this to be like Right this round Goes in Brian's favor Wins the game Takes the set All the way back But it's Armour breaking Lovely stuff And again Climbing that board 3 To try and reduce The damage scaling For the combo Right the range But range Ain't going to help Us much here Actually we have A much better neutral game As well Let's see True but she's going To trade with you Nice Need a finish Taking for a ride The strike Down 2 Down 1 Push back And now Brian is alive as well Still match point For Faiso Still match point Can this rain do it It's a much better neutral game You have more options To compete at range You're going to have way less mix up But that's not really What you're going for 4-2 Good luck So much pushback on that Delay wake up Intercepted it Side switch True but for Brian Dashing grab Alright, hang on Wait, wait, wait Trying to make a play here There was a small change Made to rain And patch wear of his Big water jet dial has become active It will not vanish Alright Give me that launch Invisible wake up Ultra David has a giant grin On his face somewhere in the venue How it works Let's see Try to make a comeback here The miracle The bet confirms Brian's defending Has to find a hit The low poke Down 1 That's plus 3 Rain Rain is here After that first round That looked like a classic I change character And it just falls apart I was so convinced that was happening Although Ah, so do we now go from Striker to Laos perhaps Makes sense I don't know man Yeah, looks like it I mean Striker was giving us more stuff In distance But Rain now has more options That rain Rain has that Attractive wake up armor That the low hat is going to just annihilate But now we have half the blocks The bubble's not going to be as prominent too Because the speed of that low hat The bubble can be good for it But it's only going to protect you Again so much Let's see Winner side The bubble's working But now Alright It's really hard Look at the damage The setup I mean We escaped We did escape the situation there Honest Okay Big launch right Knockdown We don't get much combo extensions here But we go back to a range we want to be To establish more Rain god Right now we're controlling the match Down 3 That down 3 is so good Yeah Down 1 again Take the momentum Uh Advancing mid Good way Oh it just misses Narrowly misses Okay Let's see, Briar Two bars But now Excellent Confirmed by Fatal Gate But now have the break Absolutely had to break that one Gotta be careful though Can't get hit now You just used our break Okay Pressing after the minus frames That was very bold Bold Bold Maybe even disrespectful You minus 3 after the hat Try to press Rain stand in one in the face I don't know how But Briar is still alive in the game One more round Another round Antia Meterless combo Save that meter One bar I mean that's an armor if we want That's another EX launch If we don't have Milena Full combo Okay I'm liking Alright Here we go again The safety That down 3 Pressure One Confirmed though But good Absolutely Faso was expecting That one one to be a confirmed Got him to waste the meter Hovered away Out of range The back forward 4 Yeah, because the game Don't have the bars But it's gonna hurt a lot Let's see the hat Hatch of luck Nice The low did not even hit We were just looking for it And the overhead just connected Yes Let's see Briar fighting for his life Jewel one Oh my god the mix That's Fatal Blow It works Boom We're looking for that reverse sweep The rain I was not a believer After that first round It just looked like Almost not a panic choice But one that was too fast You just too quickly went No I'm changing character I was all going wrong In that first round But somehow I was just bringing it back Constantly time and time again And with chameleon A cameo that when I see rain I don't see chameleon with rain You know what I'm saying It's a brazil attack And you know earlier today I was talking about Right before we saw The smoke and the tremor I was like You get your fair selection Of players using all the top tiers And they're super talented And they're super good But South America And like Brazilian tournaments There's always some players That pick weird stuff Weird stuff And they're doing really well And look no bloody further Than this match And he's thinking about the cameo He's gonna change again To striker Good decision in my opinion But rain Is saving the credits Right now I don't know how But he's alive However We are still Even In matches This could go to Either player But when we're talking momentum Brian got that momentum right now On the way Maybe I don't know Alright That's the range Anti-air Can't let Sindel party too hard Fan lift Having the fast cooldown So really Who cares if it doesn't work Anti-air Jump 240 Jump to combo The bombs The nice break Brian's throw techs Have been disgusting All set Meterless confirm What All go for a second one We're gonna cash out here And save that meter Nice Like always Brian always Decent distance That downpour Doesn't let the whole thing rock Because there is a gap there So right now, Brian Really comfortable On this match Like I said Up block Punished down two It's a moment here It's Belina next Are we gonna see a mix up? No need No need Match point A reverse sweep With the rain Man, Brian is playing Really good Really good I don't know how I don't know why I don't know But rain Is really clicking right now Rain gone Okay All right Now we might break Hold on to it I don't know why I know I mean to constantly go For the chameleon stuff To save your meter Punish Nice down two All good jump Really good jump Wonderful block on the low As well 114 Let's see Keep it nice and safe With the lift Melina is ready But we try to anti-air Now we break Hold on to the round Keep that meter That's it in those real games The blade Oh you watch Watch your feet No pause to break Let's see The blade Good the fan Really good block on that overhead That would have been the end of the game Fatal blow is ready On both sides That's it That's it The reverse Reverse sweep With the rain They didn't think it could be done And by they I mean me Talk again about this I have never been so happy To be so wrong So wrong I was so wrong I'm sorry Brian If you're watching this on replay I'm sorry Now I'm gonna go downstairs And give him a formal apology Because oh my god The sub zero was looking good It was looking good I understand You're a sub zero fan Fan right So we need to cheer But man Rain Save it You know what's actually weird I'm a bigger rain fan Than sub historically So I wasn't even sad To see the change It just looked We see these matches right Where players They are playing a matchup That's so close And they're doing so well And then they basically Waste no time To swap I think I'm mostly thinking Of foxy grandpa right Players that They are playing a matchup And it's totally fine And sometimes Some will just go right Instantly change And then that game is like It's a really difficult thing It's a wasted game On the tournament Because you're changing Your mindset You're changing everything How Brian was able to Bounce between Not even two similar characters Rain and sub zero Have opposite play styles Even their application Of chameleon Is very different Different Really different Insane result Insane result Neutral game is really different Because rain Have a much better neutral game And sub zero have the 50-50 right But man it works And if I'm not mistaken That does mean that Brian has now made it Out of the group In top 24 Winners With sub zero And rain Maybe we can see A sub zero In top 24 I don't know I mean It's gonna be Either of those two characters Maybe some other I mean I don't know If he plays any Other characters Or is it just those two You play a lot of characters Yeah A lot of characters And of all the characters Those ones It's weird It's weird Always the mid tiers Always the mid tiers But good enough To make it work And that's what I love That's my favourite kind of player One that's like So you're my favourite Player right now Oh yeah My favourite player I've seen today Definitely Brian And that's a contested list Because we also saw Gau and Darius In our first group of the day Do unbelievable things So it's Yeah I mean Brazil is Bringing the absolute pinnacle Of Mortal Kombat 1 today As far as I'm concerned Yeah man I really like Camille gameplay Because like I said It's really difficult To play this Camille Yeah Really good And Brian just Dominated the Camille I think I have the feeling That Brian can put Any character With Camille Camille It's gonna work I just love what Camillean's done to the game Like We've seen these cameos In the game at the moment And With the right character Tremor makes a significant difference And Is doing something that No one else is doing From the cameo side Camillean is Exactly the same kind of situation Like Camillean Is bringing something new Camillean is Really tricky to enforce But when she's working It's like Again No other cameos doing this From what we've seen From Janet Cage From the combat casts And everything else I like it She's got all this Really weird stuff as well And it's just like It's a really different Strategies You know You have a 50-50 You have a A lousher You have A Anti-air control You have Like Combat extenders You have everything With this Camille But the problem is You don't have this When you need So you need to play Accordly You need to think a lot You need to control the match To watch all the time Where the cameo is I like it Really Man What a block this has been Already Do we have any other matches Lined up here Or have we just been Having too much fun Right, here we go Ah Loser's bracket Yeah Right So is that A chocolate again So no doubt We'll be seeing Some more Johnny Cage I assume Is who we're going to be seeing Yeah Yeah It's chocolate Definitely Cracking out the Van Damme Cracking down the Van Damme To another Johnny Cage Let's see the picks He's fighting a guy called Jilo Erbach Natara Interesting What? Cano as well For beating character So we're playing We are playing A risky game here Pairing Natara with Cano Because this is an 850 health character To make a lot of difference Definitely will against Cage With the damage that he's in But we start off already Going underneath Below that Like this Okay Okay, let's see Alright Me to you with the Cano knives How well We're turning this one around Just fighting Way back into the mid-screen Natara And it's funny We're talking about Chameleon Another character That with Chameleon Can actually be Kind of ridiculous But Again Really hard to play Let's see Like to lose for Jilo Nice block Chocolate's not trying to make this Stagger game Kung Lao Entice Chocolate's not trying to make this
