For those who are unfamiliar with Mortal Kombat 1, each player can select one "Kameo Fighters" in addition to one character to control. The Kameo Fighters are characters that provide support in combat in addition to the control character, and can be used in an unlimited number of ways, such as as a checkmate in a stand-up fight or as part of a combo!
In the SonicFox vs. Zeeus matchup, SonicFox won 3-0!
The Grand Final between SonicFox and Nicolas!
SonicFox and Nicolas advanced to the Grand Final! Both players looked relaxed before the match, exchanging a few words and smiles. SonicFox won the Final Kombat 2024 Grand Final about a month ago after a reset, but this time...?
This is a mirror match in which both players choose Johnny Cage (Khameleon) as their character.
Of course, once the match started, both players' faces were serious. The two players, who are very competitive, will go all the way to a full set of full rounds. If SonicFox wins, he wins! If Nicolas wins, he resets!
SonicFox was down to just a few millimeters of strength, but he finished the match with a bold and courageous front jump attack!
SonicFox with tears in his eyes.
The two players have faced each other many times this year. This time, SonicFox prevailed and won his first EVO title since 2019.
The winner of the "Mortal Kombat 1" category is SonicFox!
- 1st place: SonicFox
- 2nd: Nicolas
- 3rd: Zeeus
- 4th: TheMightyUnjust
- 5th: Dyloch
- 5th: MKJavierMK
