How did Mortal Kombat 11 turn out? Super Smash Bros. has a crab problem, Punk is back on top of the Street Fighter 5 mountain, and more

from EventHubs Podcast · host Jon Grey, John Guerrero

We've been playin' us some Mortal Kombat 11 for a good week or so now, we get into the good the bad and the beautifully ugly of the latest and greatest from NetherRealm. Also, the Capcom Pro Tour continues to chug along and Punk continues to make Grand Finals. Is his recent come from behind victory against Daigo enough to say he's the best in the business right now? Plus Hungrybox has a crab thrown at him after his win at Pound. It's funny, but it may be indicative that we're starting down a road that we really don't want to be traversing.
