Wakeup, Shoryuken E059 - Tom Brady and Mortal Kombat 9

Wow! Another over-sized cup of Wakeup is coming your way this morning. Today, Inkblot joins us to breifly discuss Evo’s ruling about the events at PowerUp 2011. After that, we welcome the winner of PowerUp’s Mortal Kombat tournament, Tom Brady, to discuss all things MK. Now that the game has seen its first few tournaments, how is it holding up? We also ask for advice about coming into MK9 with a Street Fighter background. Drink up. [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
