The best Mortal Kombat player in the world skipped the previous Pro Kompetition qualifier. SonicFox should battle to climb up the leaderboard.
After the victory at the previous Pro Kompetition Final, SonicFox managed to even strengthen their reputation as the top MK1 competitor. The legendary player won the first event of the new Mortal Kombat 1 esports season. And they obviously aim for more wins — as someone else is currently a global leader. MK1 Texas Showdown 2025 is a chance for SonicFox to chase Kanimani on the leaderboard.

MK1 results: Pro Kompetition at Texas Showdown 2025
The Mortal Kombat 1 results at Texas Showdown 2025 directly affect the Pro Kompetition 2025 standings. The event has the Kombatant status. This means the top competitors receive fewer points than at Demi God tournaments, such as the recent MK1 viennality 2k25.
Considering the rather limited number of events at the MK1 esports Pro Kompetition 2025 circuit, every point matters. Only the top 8 players on the global leaderboard advance to the Finals event.

Who was a TEKKEN 8 player with a Shiba Inu dog at Texas Showdown 2025?
One of the TEKKEN 8 players became a world-wide celebrity thanks to his appearance during the competitive pools — or rather thanks to his extremely cute doggy. Jamie "iGottaJet" Drake walked around the venue and even played T8 matches while carrying a Shiba Inu dog on his back.
A clip from the pools stream blew up the community, and even Harada reacted to it. The game director promised to add this doggo as a customization item in TEKKEN 8.
iGottaJet could not advance from his pool, but his tournament impact is memorable for sure.

MK1 T-1000 and Madam Bo: The first esports showcase?
Two new Mortal Kombat 1 DLC characters may have their esports debut at Texas Showdown 2025. It is still pretty unlikely that top players can choose MK1 T-1000 and Madam Bo — both joined the game on March 18 for the Kombat Pack 2 owners. It’s obviously not enough time to train the characters for the tournament performance.
Still, someone may decide to play T-1000 or Madam Bo as a surprise pick, maybe in a desperate matchup. In any case, the tournament should highlight the current MK1 competitive meta.
