@@mikaelcustodio4529 I was just thinking the samething, Sonic is on another level. Consistently plays at the highest level in tournaments. I swear no one must prepare like Sonic does. It's all about the preparation, countless hours of thinking about your options, your opponents options, and how to deal with them. The Johnny pick was so smart for this tourney, after just having combo breaker and beating PM with Omni-man but then realizing, while omni-man was successful against PM, it didn't bring out the overall win. I would bet money Ninja prepared for the Omni-man pick. So Sonic ( Knowing this) decided to choose someone else to go up against PM and after seeing Nicolas's success vs Ninja in combo breaker, Sonic knew what needed to be done.Then it all became clear. If Johnny was this good in Nicolas's hands, then imagine what could be done with Sonic playing Johnny, and this tournament shows all Sonic can do with Johnny.Also it seems like Sonic was testing out characters to go against Nicolas during combo breaker, Before coming to the realization that Sonic would be the better Johnny. Seeing Ninja vs Sonic and comparing it to Ninja vs Nicolas. I can say to me Sonic, seemed like the better Johnny.
@@Tamar10000bro back dashing to bait a down poke isn't "another level" He just plays very calm and smart, knowing that people WILL mash, even at the HIGHEST level. That confirmed into Fatal Blow HURT
Sonic gave Ninja the "Shake my hand!" flex. Had Ninja sitting there reconsidering all of his MK1 life choices. Ninja thinking to himself, "Did I lose at character select?"
Peacemaker is cheap asf I don’t even play this game but, these lame ass foxygrampa run away playstyles lol just stop even ninja knows with them quick ass kicks from Johnny and Liu from mk11. Sonicfox has adjusted to MK9 Kabals, MK9 Kenshis and starfires. This was all based on neutral and if peacemakers gameplay is running and shooting and getting punished for it? Then yes a easy 3-0
@@Manwithetheplan lmao bro. Like not even close. This seems like the wash people expected when he went to his first offline against sonic but, he actually did good. In later tourneys he’s not doing as good against sonic
You definitely should check out his Skullgirls matches then him and Dekillsage in that game are two Gods just crushing everybody when it counts most truly some beautiful stuff. Also his matches against GO1 in DBFZ are legendary as well.
11:42 Sonic really studied ninja’s playing style. See, most of these Pro players studied Sonic’s most used mains ( Syndel , Ermac , Omni Man etc ) and weren’t expecting a Johnny. Good strategy to learn and master Johnny within 3 weeks and produce the best Johnny there is . This is Amazing !!!!!
Sonic’s been messing around in past tournaments playing whatever characters and still making it to grand finals etc. but when big money’s on the line u damn well know the s-tier characters are coming back.. bro isnt gonna mess around like the other tournaments LOL
Maybe not spam his way but if he had LuKang or one of the ladies like Kitana or Sindel…someone faster basically, he would’ve probably beat Sonic. I feel like the match could have gone either way maybe…but not w/o Ninja using a faster character. Sonic’s defense and counter was coconuts though.
He doesn't use that pair, which made his A game higher than was expected. NK using PM and you had SF testing out different characters last tournament against both Nicolas and ninja and see what he did?.. lol 🤦🏾♂️
I mean, it's true though. I don't understand why NK is using a zone character and playing that playstyle all of a sudden. Not making excuses but hopefully this humbling experience forces NK to go back to basics and play HIS game.
He replied to someone in comments saying Liu loses to Peace so he was sticking with Peace. Which makes sense, he did the same with Fijin from MK11. If NRS nerf Peace he’ll go back Liu.
@@johnsonwithat2322he got his first win with another character other than Liu though… he won his first big tournament with Fujin. So you guys are kinda giving him an unreasonable handicap.
Sonic on Johnny felt so strange like an Anakin and Obi-Wan moment. But he knew this was the answer to the Peacemaker meta. And once in he made grand final he was in flow state that no need for the Sindel or Nitara
How???? So all these while Sonicfox have been practicing Johnny Cage damn😂😂 No one expected this...they thought he was gonna go through all with Sindel.. Even beating Nicholas who has mained Johnny for several months I don't see any person surpassing Sonicfox achievements ever He will be the GOAT forever ❤️💯🔥🔥🔥
Sonic showing good preparation here running johnny when they all scrimmed against his ermac and sindel. Nice to see hes still in form. Im not sure if ninja really avoids practicing with sonic but if he does, it doesnt seem like a good strategy cause sonic is starting to get in his head it seems. Still both amazing players.
Still here. Y’all weirdos who be fanned out on both sides need to stop. Sonic is the best no doubt, but ninja is good and so are the rest of the contenders who made top 8.
Cause peacemaker is broken and the most braindead best character in the game. Liu isn't as good and ninja was just playing cheap like an advanced scrub plays.@@cheickmouctarkone9408
He replied to someone in comments saying Liu loses to Peace and don’t have an answer for Peace so he was sticking with Peace. It makes sense too, he did the same thing with Fujan for Mk11
When nk loses, people will say , he have should stuck with liu, when SF lose, they will say he is washed up, he's getting old and all that b.s. Say what you want sf is much. better that nk . The reason , sf plays almost all characters on the mk roster and have won multiple tournaments with a variety of characters also he dosen't just stick to one main. Hence he is truley the GOAT. MK 13v9 " And they worshipped the sonic saying who is like unto him, who is able to make war with him?"
I haven’t watched NK since mk11 am I missing something where he only picks peacemaker and not anybody else cause hasn’t he been consistently losing with him?
liu against these top players is just too EZ to make reads against and khameleon kameo dominates lui pretty badly. Lui just never stood a chance in this tourney without a kameo adjustment/character balance patch.
Dawg with 70k on the line u don’t think he would use his main if he thought it would win him the tournament? Lol lui just doesn’t have the buttons to Deal with the meta chars rn
