More of this please, I loved the underdog triumphs such as the Ryan Davis and the Will Smith victories.  And the more contentious fights had me at the edge of my seat, vinnie vs gary was awesome

This is probably the best thing GIant Bomb has ever posted second only to Possessed Jonathan Frakes.

That was made of epic win! Also the cake is a lie.


*proceeds to vomit forever for having typed that*

I'd have been meaner about him saying "full of win". Nice restraint, Ryan. Haha. I'd have disqualified him until he begged for my forgiveness. That shit don't fly in MY house.

As somebody who's been a fan of Smoke since MK2, is it weird that I get a big grin knowing that the winner of the scrub league is a Smoke player? Is that weird?

You've probably seen "pro-tournament" many times already. It's called "Brad vs Jeff".

Freaking awesome. I saw some things today that I certainly didn't expect to see! Very, very entertaining. I don't know if it's just me, but I find Mortal Kombat much more fun to watch and easier to grasp than any other fighting game I know of. Maybe it's just because I played a bit of it when I was little, but I also played a bunch of Street Fighter 2, and SF doesn't interest me at all nowdays... I'd watch an entire tournament like this all over again given the chance! Very entertaining. Kinda wanna get the game, for sure.

This was surprisingly fun to watch, never been much of a fighting game player before.


I hope they do it again.

Also, it seems like the production behind these events keep getting better and better too.
So well done to the people behind the cameras =)

Excellent!  Totally entertaining - and I don't like fighting games!!  Love the competition, the reactions of the players, and commenting.  One thing would make it even better, tell us who the non-on-video people were and what they do.  It would give us a much better feel for the Whiskey/GB family. 

Really looking forward to the next one.

This was amazing!  Gary Whitta must really be concentrating here because I don't remember him making those gamefaces when he played Need For Speed Hot Pursuit on TNT. 

Please consider doing a Scrub Olympics with Kinect Sports!

This was awesome.  I want to see more!  A Starcraft II league would be awesome, but would probably be too long.  MK and SSFIV are cool by me, though.

That was great, and pretty much sold me on the new MK. Hopefully we'll see a lot more like this in the future

The GB audience obviously loves the hype of a good fighting game tournament. You guys have no reason not to cover EVO now.
