Combo Breaker 2018: The Full Results

Combo Breaker 2018 has concluded. Chicago's biggest fighting game tournament has wrapped up for another year and all of the champions have been crowned. Shacknews has covered a couple of the winners already, but for those who missed the weekend tournaments, here's a helpful recap. We'll also make sure to add some of our own thoughts here and there.

Dragon Ball FighterZ

Shacknews has a full recap of the Dragon Ball FighterZ Grand Finals up and running right now. SonicFox went into this event having never beaten consensus best player in the world GO1, but Combo Breaker went just a little bit differently.

1st - SonicFox (Dominique McLean) 2nd - GO1 (Goichi Kishida) 3rd - Dogura (Ryo Nozaki) 4th - NyChrisG (Christopher Gonzalez) 5th (tie) - Kazunoko (Ryota Inoue) 5th (tie) - HookGangGod (Eduardo Hook) 7th (tie) - Fenritti 7th (tie) - Doza (Glyn Mendoza)

Injustice 2

The Injustice 2 Grand Finals went down to the wire between Tweedy and DR_Gross. Gross brought the heat with Green Lantern throughout the finals, but Tweedy was eventually able to ward off one last GL onslaught, thanks to Starfire's effective zoning techniques. GL wasn't able to close in and Tweedy took the tournament.

Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- 2

This was another wild Top 8 that culminated with a barnburner of a Grand Finals. Korea's Jaewon "Daru I-No" Kim just needed the opportunity to prove himself, but has had trouble getting to tournaments in the past. He even relied on a community fundraiser to get him to this very event. But he made his opportunity count, as he narrowly edged out Fukuda "Teresa" Norihiro in a Grand Finals that left both men emotionally spent by the end.

1st - Daru I-No (Jaewon Kim) 2nd - Teresa (Fukuda Norihiro) 3rd - Hamad (Hamad Akbar) 4th - Kazunoko (Ryota Inoue) 5th (tie) - PepperySplash (Justin Campbell) 5th (tie) - BjornSonOfBear (Alain Kim) 7th (tie) - Blaze (Manny Blaze) 7th (tie) - Kid Viper (Jason Srouji)

Killer Instinct

One of the most exciting tournaments of the weekend that went largely under the radar was Killer Instinct. Combo Breaker has always been one of the best places to catch the top Killer Instinct and this was no exception. While he fell short last year, there was no stopping Latrell "Amenty" Thomas in 2018. He has a total mastery of new character Eagle and former Evo champion Darnell "Hollywood Sleep" Waller had no answers. This was a master class in how to work opponents with KI's last character.

1st - Amenty (Latrell Thomas) 2nd - Hollywood Sleep (Darnell Waller) 3rd - Bass (Kenneth Armas) 4th - Thompxson (Deion Thompson) 5th (tie) - SonicDolphin117 (Andrew Honigman) 5th (tie) - Storm179 (Calvin Phelps) 7th (tie) - DevilMayCare (Michael Figueroa) 7th (tie) - Nicky (Nicky Iovene)

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

It's hard to argue against the idea that Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite has lost pretty much all of its steam since its damning Evo snub. While registration numbers have remained consistent, many of the game's high-profile players have left, viewership has dipped, and Capcom looks to have abandoned the Marvel fanbase... again. But the Marvel tournaments are still incredible to watch, as evidenced by Combo Breaker's Top 8.

Watch as Kevin "Dual Kevin" Barrios caps off an incredible Losers Bracket run in the most epic fashion possible. Don't put Hawkeye in a box, because all he needs is his bow and arrow.

1st - Dual Kevin (Kevin Barrios) 2nd - DekillSage (Jon Coello) 3rd - Banehollow3789 (James Marroquin) 4th - NyChrisG (Christopher Gonzalez) 5th (tie) - Abbock (Brian Murphy) 5th (tie) - Lariat GOD (Tyler Hinson) 7th (tie) - Emorawr79 (Jose Ramirez) 7th (tie) - Noelbhungry (Noel Brown)

Super Smash Bros. Melee

The best players across both Super Smash Bros. Melee and Smash 4 were attending MomoCon this weekend, so there was a lot of A-tier talent missing from Combo Breaker. Still, the tournaments were exciting and it was an opportunity for some new faces to shine, like Melee winner Kalindi "KJH" Henderson.
