Ryota “Kazunoko” Inoue shares his thoughts on Dragon Ball FighterZ, Final Round, and more with BornFree

“Gohan vs. Gohan… it’s basically whoever makes the other person guard first.”

GO1 was not the only Japanese player to turn heads at Final Round 2018‘s Dragon Ball FighterZ tournament. Multi-game specialist Ryota “Kazunoko” Inoue placed a respectable 4th place in the incredibly-stacked 314 player bracket… while also placing 2nd in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 and 9th in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition.

FGC interviewer extraordinaire BornFree was able to sit down with Kazunoko at Final Round and talk all things Dragon Ball. You can see his views on American players, the character he wants to see added to the game the most, and more by clicking on the video above!

Combo Breaker has always been an important tournament for the Killer Instinct community — the name of the tournament itself should already clue people in on that. As such, it should be no surprise that the tournament will be part of the Killer Instinct Ultra Tour!

The money for this will be coming from the Kilgore Community Fund that Microsoft and Iron Galaxy have put up to help support tournaments, based on sales of DLC character Kilgore.

For those wondering how the prize pool will be divided, Combo Breaker has confirmed that the the top 16 players from the Killer Instinct tournament at Combo Breaker will be receiving a payout.
