We love fighting games and the communities that player them, so it was a no-brainer that we made our way to COMBO BREAKER. Itβs a fantastic event that brings fierce competitors and old friends right into our backyard here in the Chicago area. Our weekend was jam-packed with so many fantastic moments to highlight. Here are a few of our favorites.
Just before the final 8 players butted heads on the main stage for Killer Instinct, we released a trailer for the Anniversary Edition.
