Sonic Fox was actually worried at Evo 2016‘s Mortal Kombat XL Grand Finals

Sunday’s Evo 2016 finals opened with the top 8 for Mortal Kombat XL.

It looked like it would be smooth sailing for the returning champion, Sonic Fox.

Sonic went 3 – 0 in the winner’s bracket, performing at a level that resembled a graceful ballet, to earn a spot in the Evo 2016 grand finals.

However, a gutsy performance from Tekkenmaster, fighting his way back through loser’s brackets, kept the young prodigy on his toes.

Tekkenmaster frustrated Fox with a brutally tough Kotal Kahn – knocking Fox back to loser’s, and resetting the brackets in the process.

After a pivotal round, a visibly concerned Fox removed his trademark blue fox plushy hat, showing a level of seriousness that he simply hadn’t had to show in the past.

In the end, Fox persevered, using multiple characters to finally fell Tekkenmaster 3 games to 1 in loser’s, to claim the Evo 2016 Mortal Kombat XL crown.
