MK1 Texas Showdown 2025: SonicFox to the top of Pro Kompetition again?

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.

The Mortal Kombat 1 tournament at Texas Showdown 2025 is part of the official competitive circuit MK1 Pro Kompetition 2025. It started just recently, but the battle for top placements is already intense.

Beyond that, Texas Showdown 2025 features many other tournaments. The U.S. fighting games community (FGC) gathers in Houston to play big modern titles and some great classic games.

The official Twitch channel TXShowdownLive broadcasted Mortal Kombat 1 matches at Texas Showdown 2025. You can watch the live stream right here, as it's embedded below.

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.

The current Pro Kompetition 2025 standings and the MK1 Texas Showdown 2025 results are shown in the table below.

Here, you’ll find the top 8 matchups and MK1 characters/kameo pairs used in the final brackets of Texas Showdown 2025.

TEKKEN 8 is a wonderfully popular game. Even without the official esports circuit being active right now, T8 gathers super strong players at Texas Showdown 2025. Here are the tournament results. It’s the final event before Anna Williams joins TEKKEN 8.

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.

NoahTheProdigy was the only American player in the top 8 of the Capcom Cup 2025. He participates in SF6 Texas Showdown 2025, and this tournament is featured by organizers as the main one at the entire event. May it help the U.S. competitors get nicely prepared for the next official Street Fighter 6 esports circuit, Capcom Pro Tour 2025?

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.

After MK1 Texas Showdown 2025, Pro Kompetition 2025 takes a month-long break. The Mortal Kombat 1 esports circuit returns in May with three tournaments: two Demi God and one Kombatant.

MK1 Pro Kompetition 2025 continues until August with the offline qualifiers. Information on the Finals event should be revealed later.
