EVO clips of Mortal Kombat 1 have dissatisfied players to a great extent after the Scorpion Mirror fight came to light.

EVO, or Evolution Championship Series, is one of the biggest annual e-sports tournaments, which mostly includes fighting games. Therefore, fans willingly wait for their favorite games to perform the best in the championship. But not every fan’s wish was granted.

However, Mortal Kombat 1 fans’ hopes were shattered after one clip from a Mortal Kombat Twitch streamer’s account went viral on Reddit. A few days back, ihaveaweirdpsn posted a clip on the game’s subreddit that gives a glimpse of the Scorpion Mirror fight. 

Mortal Kombat players are well aware of the mirror match feature, where players will face the same character they are playing as in a battle. Though everything matches between the two fighters, the only difference is that they may have different clothes or colors.

The Reddit clip also has a similar fighting sequence where Scorpion has been fighting his mirror match, but this fight once again brought to light the pacified frustration of players. In the comment section of the post, players have expressed their opinions, and surprisingly, none stated anything positive about the game.

In the comment section of the Reddit post, players dived in to express their opinions, and most of them stated that Kameos are not fitting in major tournaments.
