@@OG-ht7vlno. Sonic won EVO 2019(MK11 year one) Ninjakilla beat Nicholas at EVO 2022(MK11 year three). Sonicfox had already stopped playing MK11 seriously because the game wasn't being updated much and he already won most of the major tournaments: EVO, combo breaker, final kombat, weplay etc. When Ninja won, sonic barely even averaged top 8 in most tournaments, he was washes
Edit: actually, Ninjakilla won EVO 2023(MK11 year four). Scopionprocs won 2022. The Chilean twins are seriously a problem and they are probably gonna supplant/succeed Sonic eventually
I don’t feel like I’m being hyperbolic when I say it’s time to stop calling SonicFox “one of the best Mortal Kombat players of all time” as one of the announcers said. No disrespect whatsoever to any of the other goats like Ninja but it’s time we acknowledge SonicFox is the greatest MK player of all time. One of the best fighting game players of all time, absolutely, but MK? there is no longer any question
They even dabbled in the likes of MvC, Tekken, SF, Dbz. Won agaisnt go1 in Dbz final ?? Wtf. Also even more a GOAT of Skullgirls than MK. Best Netherrealms player ever. Arguably the best most well rounded FGC player.
@@dzungphan2665 Yeah I mean I’ve seen SF get to grand finals in Soul Calibur tournaments and I saw them win sets against EVO champs of Tekken like Arslan - I don’t blame SF if they don’t compete for games like Tekken because it’s such an island of its own, you really don’t have time for other games if you’re aiming to win Evo but anyway I agree, imo it’s beyond question that SonicFox is 1) the greatest NRS player of all time and 2) the most versatile fighting game player of all time
16:00 you KNOW you're f*cked when you're at 1/3rd health & a guy with LITERALLY ONE health just starts rushing you down like he has the life lead lol smh
i had to go back and watch for when he jumped he was waiting for the jade to come back dude is really crazy cuz he could’ve ate a shadow kick at anytime
It’s because you have to beat HIM, not the other way around. I figured that out about him a few years ago when he was playing dbz and came all the way back. The man’s got paws lol
Stupidest comment I seen lmao. This aint real sport. Man doesn't play Johny for a few match and you say rusty? Lmaoooo bro probably has thousands of matches with johny
@@ManDingoGoob Doesnt really matter. Mortal Kombat is way less relevant when it comes to fighting games like Street Fighter or tekken. Its a fighting game for casuals by comparison.
@@davisoshee why cant Sonicfox do well in SF or Tekken even though he does play these games? Because he cant do anything with the pros at these games, its a whole new ball game, takes more skill. Mortal Kombat is less balanced and its easier to master than these games its just that simple. And they're the main 2D and 3D competitive games respectively. Honestly, you can have as much titles you want, if you dont win at those games or at least prove yourself, you're not in the same league imo.
The sad thing about these type of tournament videos when a set is uploaded to RU-vid, is that you can tell who's going to win based on the duration of the video. After the first match was over and I saw it was only 11 minutes left in the video, I knew INSTANTLY that a bracket reset wasn't happening 😩😩.
but that last round was IN-Sane! had the brackets reset it would have probably been one of the greatest final matches in gaming tournament history. It was really down to the wire!
@@knight-mares I'm not talking about just this tournament and just Mortal Kombat 1. I'm talking about every fighting game tournament that gets uploaded to RU-vid period. Ex: If a video says GRAND FINALS and you see it's only a 9 minute video. That right there kinda reveals whoever is in Loser's Bracket is not winning because it'll take much longer than 9 minutes to Reset a bracket then win 3 more times. Saying "you should've watched it live" doesn't negate my point lmao.
the guy is a colossal legend of fighting games and always will be, anyone who is a gamer and has never heard this id:sonicfox doesn't know what a myth on the planet is, unique in the world and number 1 more than 6 times
Sonic, I'm just getting ready to watch this and I've gotta say, win or lose, you've got to be one of the nicest people in the gaming community. Don't get me wrong, you're stone cold with that controller, but just.... dang, you're a good person. Thank you so much for that. As a parent, it's good to see you out here. Huge fan. #MuchRespect
10 yrs ago I used to watch SF’s highlights and I hated him winning all the time. I came back 10 yrs later to watch some MK tournaments, and it’s still him winning. This guy is the goat.
I think the GOAT debate is over, Ninja debate is over cause now we have a nicholas, just be grateful to Watch this man play, i knew you would win this bro. Congratz 🙂↕️❤️🔥
You are the best player in the world by far... I have seen every tournament you have won and also the ones you have lost but no one beats the way you adapt to the games...
Man, Nicolas has not been playing as sharp. It's a win. But he's usually more focused then that. I think inwardly he's a fan of the Fox. Because before they ended up playing eachother he was razor sharp. Zero mistakes. But I think Fox has a Mike Tyson energy that intimidates his opponent before the games begin. Or it's that Fox is having fun, while others are trying to win.
I watched his interview. He is collecting data. He never plays the same way or is baiting his opponent to get comfortable to use it against them. It's not just a game of reaction for him. If that's how you play, and that's how he plays, he's going to set you up and beat you. I'd have no chance against this guy.
I remember my first time ever seeing Sonicfox. It was the pre-release tourney they held for MKX, can't remember what it was called. I was blown away by his Erron Black. Holy time flies.
I DID SECURITY AT THE EVO, AND I SAW SONIC FOX AND HE GAVE ME HIS AUTOGRAPH😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 HE SIGNS HIS NAME WITH A CAT EMOTICON . HE WAS SUPER NICE WAS AND SUPER CHEERFUL❤😅
Which made him make a mistake. He made too many mistakes. He should have won. I’ve never seen a player put so much fear into another player even with a shred of life left.
@@shytguyNicolas played a bit better than Sonicfox in that set, but somehow he made lots of mistakes, which was quite unusual imo. I’ve been watching him since debut, he always calm and laugh alongside Fox. The nerve must have gotten to him somehow. Shouldn’t necessarily mean he would won the Evo, but I think he deserves the bucket reset. I wanted more!
Was there live and well deserved but props to Nicolas for pointing in the work for top 6. His Rain was cool to watch. Congrats on your 7th championship So icfox👊🏽
One thing about you that i respect, SonicFox, is the sheer intimidation you put into your opponent. Not once when that camera was on you did you look nervous or worried at any point. That can get into the greatest player's head and make them slip up. Your laughing and calm demeanor is a million times more scary than someone shit talking and screaming. Good shit on the Evo win ❤
I caught this match and honestly big congrats. I fell off with MK1 and Mortal Kombat in general, but watching you and Nicolas play has made me interested in coming back and giving it another shot. Really great match up.
And also Combo Breaker too.... Nicholas has consistently made MK Grand finals 4 times in a row starting from EVO 2023, Combo Breaker, Final Kombat and now (EVO 2024) and only won one final sadly 😔
First, well played Sonic and congratulations! Second, well played Nico. There’s always next time. Know that we will always support you from Chile. VIVA CHILEEE🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
To be fair the rest of the tournament had legit no Peacemakers and only a few Johnny's compared to Final Kombat. Even Sonic didn't play Johnny until the last match. Way more char diversity this time around
There should be a documentary about you Dom! The first tournament I watched was Fatal 8 - MK X and even when it seemed quite boring cause you won a lot of tournaments - more than half the time I rooted for you. The best to ever do it!
Have been following up sonic for some time and i gotta admit, that man is a beast, he's on another level entirely, no one come close....damn what a match...!!!!!
Dude this game isn't even my thing but a after weeks of binging these games I can already see this guy is in the same league with the greatest gamers to walk this planet
