Combo Breaker to Use Most Recent Mortal Kombat X Update

combobreaker-skyline-edit

Last week, the organizers behind Combo Breaker announced that Jason Voorhees will be legal at next weekend’s tournament, news that undoubtedly brought a smile to the faces of players who had already established a love for the slasher flick guest character.

However, the release of yesterday’s patch to Mortal Kombat X for PlayStation 4 (forthcoming on Xbox One and PC) causes a bit of a complication with regards to downloadable characters like Jason: since tournaments will need to connect to the internet to grab these additional fighters, they will be forced to grab the newest patch in addition to that content.

This means that using the most recent Mortal Kombat X patch at Combo Breaker was unavoidable. It is perhaps a little unfortunate that the patch had to release so close to a major tournament, but it’s likely this sort of thing would have happened anyways even if the patch had come earlier or later than it did; that’s just the nature of having so many premier events year-round.

The plus side to this is that players who have already acquired the patch are fully capable of practicing before the big event instead of having to hold off in an effort to avoid familiarity with a patch that wouldn’t have been used in competition. Combo Breaker reportedly spoke with NetherRealm Studios and numerous Mortal Kombat players from around the community before deciding that this is the best route to take for the tournament, and feel it shouldn’t affect the integrity of the matches.

Combo Breaker will be held next week, May 22-24, in Chicago, Illinois.
