The Japanese Killer Instinct scene pulled through with their first online tournament.

Hosted by OGTY, who was interviewed in a recent IPW feature, the online event Satsuriku Honnou was Japan's first step in competitive Killer Instinct. This 10-man tournament that took place on Oct. 25 was structured in a single elimination format and each player had to win in first-to-three sets to progress. The tournament also shows a fight for third place.
