SonicFox's Revenge: How a God Reclaimed Their Throne

- Going into Final Kombat it felt like somehow, some way, everyone was underestimating SonicFox.
SonicFox is a six-time Evo Champion and the greatest Mortal Kombat players to ever touch the game. And yet, as the curtain was drawn on Mortal Kombat 1’s first ever World Championship, SonicFox was not the clear favorite. All eyes were on their young upstart rivals.
So SonicFox set out on the journey to reclaim the throne they never truly let go of.

im od what can i say
The ODest for sure. Respect ❤
🐐
Ye,very cool good job.
and getting old, Unc! You were a kid when you popped up and shat on literally everyone. put on for us geriatric esports lovers.
nc pfp :o
as therussianbadger said "wait whos that furry that slaps everyones shit?"
LowTierFox?
@@TheAngryMoth104 low tier god as a furry i'm terrified.
Mad respect for the Josh A pfp, Shit thats his OLD stuff damn.
Wtf's a furry?
@mccleandazza4618 people that dress up as animals like sonicfox
One thing that has always stood out to me about Sonic is he's always happy win or lose, always praises his opponant if they have beaten him.
This is why they are the best, its not just the skill, its the entire mentality. Losing just sparks them to want to learn and come back better.
He is a class act indeed.
Didn’t he cry on Twitter about Javier beating him ?
@@lennyn1120 It was a laggy online tournament, not many tournament players respect those wins much and so a lot of them get annoyed when someone pops off or trys to troll after winning online. Javier made a post saying he beat Sonic with the worst character in the game and Sonic basically told him he won off gimmicks due to the lag and he'd never be able to pull that off against him in an actual tournament. I'm assuming Sonic was on the west coast of the US and Javier was in Spain. If one person talks trash or brags the other side gets to talk back especially when one player is clearly better.
He’s litterally goku
I’ll never forget watching SonicFox in the prime of MKX. Absolute god.
his Erron black was insane!!!!
Perfect 13gend
He was untouchable then
@@ariaroflcakes who he turned him into myth
There’s absolutely nothing I’ve ever seen like it. The most saucy, entertaining, brutal chasedown offense I’ve ever witnessed. And honestly at that time he had some of the best defense I’ve ever seen in FGC in general. He was untouchable, and early DBFZ tbh.
It’s crazy how one person can be so good at damn near any game, it’s already impressive that he adapts so fast to his opponents gameplay but he also keeps the coolest head I’ve ever seen, he could have %1 of health left and I still believe he’d clutch the victory, his ability to read frames is inhuman, he’s the textbook definition of a born prodigy
Sonic uses they/them pronouns
@@RainyyDayyno one cares. He’s a guy. Deal with it.
@@RainyyDayy ok. Still gonna call him
@@RainyyDayy that’s wassup too
@@RainyyDayy he goes by both, he/they
I’m an outsider to the community, but SonicFox seems to be an incredible champion and ambassador. They are so wholesome and genuine, and it’s great to see their sportsmanship.
Great doc!
He weird af but u can’t deny greatness. My 🐐
Ambassador?
Didn't he go out of his way to belittle half the country?
HE IS, FFS. stop with this neutral bs
@@herr.schaeffer cringe
That whiff punish on ninja was from the GODS
Top moment from the tourney
Finally fgc content. We got one more video this year from you guys. Hope its a dope one
SonicFox was the new prodigy now he is Unc
still the goat
They. But fully agree 100% (he/they it seems, all good!)
@@CAPTAINCHAOS_ he goes by both, he/they
@@killer660 didn’t know that, appreciate the info. Thanks!
He he he he he he he sonicfox is a male he is a goat we dont have to participate in your little games @@CAPTAINCHAOS_
2:17 That’s true Champion mentality. Humble and consoles his opponent after a huge win. Massive respect
damn if y'all waited one week y'all could've had the evo grand finals in this
Been following fox since '17. That mofo is a creative demon, never afraid to explore all the possibilities and like other greats in other competitive settings, Sonic is a fervent student of FGC.
Im not even really an MK fan. But Sonic Fox makes me watch.
narrator had me thinking sonicfox was a gaming crew or something LMAOO
SonicFox just chilling, laughing and having fun even though Nicolaus resets the bracket is just a stone cold killer
The way he just smiles and seems to applaud him knowing he’s gonna merk him in his heart is lowkey wholesome.
These are the types of videos we need iiiiiin the FGC. The story, the presentation, most people don't understand what is happening when watching a fighting game let alone the community. This video was amazing.
That f3 whiff punish to close out when winners finals against NK is legitimately and iconic moment for me now. Sonic will forever be unstoppable
Nk never used his main bet if he lui it would've went different sonic is the biggest mk industry plant there is and y'all praise him as your god 😂
@@peterock42NK only chose peacemaker coz he was the undisputed no. 1 in the roster.He did the same with fujin in MK11. Everyone knows this. No ifs and buts.
@@Butwhy23 yea no just cuz he did it in mk 11 with fujin doesnt mean he suppose to do the same in mk1 at final kombat when he already picked peace maker at combo breaker you can see it in nk face he was disappointed should've went with lui/chameleon then it would've veen a different story and sonic duck would've got destroyed
@@peterock42 womp womp
@peterock42 coulda woulda shoulda. Ninja went for Peacemaker because he wanted to play a zoning game. Besides, Sonic has beaten him more times than he has beaten fox in offline tournaments
Love those videos . For those that have been there since MK9…. Sonic is by far the GOAT of NRS
He's just trolling and beating players with their mains. What a lad!
yoooo I haven't been into the NRS scene since IJ2 and wow good on Mr Aqua shedding the beef
Yeah, no one has. NRS games are for babies now. That's why this freak-o doesn't play other games.
SonicFox was born for this, they're a genius plain and simple.
He’s one person. Why did you say they?
@@StressLessSteveim like wtf is he talking about😂😂😂maybe a mistake
@@StressLessStevesonicfox identifies as a nonbinary man and prefers they as a pronoun
@spartanV48 oh ...a mental patient then .....it's he
Sonic is the reason why I watch competitive MK 🐐
Sonic is my favourite breed of Fox
Underrated comment lmao
Mines Sweetie
No denying the legendary status of SonicFox
Dude, you guys are producing HIGH quality documentaries. These are so fucking entertaining. Shout out to you guys for making these. 👌
I would argue if you are gonna put people like Mew2King and Daigo of all people as examples. do not talk about they "let" time pass by for them M2K is 35 and Daigo is 43. Sonicfox is 26! Daigo is literally a multi-generational champion of capcom games and M2K completely changed how melee was played and remained pretty well dominant into his late 20s/early 30s.
Sonicfox is no slouch do not take that away from this tirade, but they have YEARS left to go before they even get close to washing out. People treating them like they are ancient. that could be a side effect of starting so early, but they are still in the Prime age for even more greatness!
The FGC is eating this decade!
Who’s they? You mean him.
Why do you care so much?
he is 26!? damn gaming all day really takes a tall on his body..
@@PandemicPete Sonicfox is NB. Did you not notice how the entire video the narrator called them they?
You can take a game Outta a person but never a person from their game Sonic shows you don't mess with Final Boss
@3:25 "thank you, man we unfroze form the 70's to commentate Mortal Kombat."
It’s nice to see guys playing video games getting due diligence and credit like actors , artists and sports players.
He just won at evo in such an amazing way yesterday i was there live and it was fucking crazy
SonicFox without the mask hat and tail is different breed
Normal
The production value on this video is insane. Keep it up guys !
The M2K and Daigo strays at the end lmao
Whoever makes these videos needs a raise
Sonicfox has always beenn the goat 😤🙏🏽
This dude is still winning sht?!? I come back a decade later to just see what’s happening and this mfer is still on top😂
Followed up that Dub with a Dub at Evo this past weekend sonicfox really is the fgc goat
The fighting game goat. There's a lot of people in the circle of greats but Sonicfox is the best or them all imo. Longevity, domination and adaptability is unmatched
Man that last quote is great lol
Man, i still remember watching that final against tekkenmaster live, im not even a MK fan but that moment made a sonic fox fan.
someone said SonicFox is unc now. I looked up their age and their only 26??? A goat and still so young
I saw that comment too. Calling a 26 year old "Unc" is crazy to me😂
Realistically in gaming 26 is old, I see your point, I’m just saying most pro gamers are far past their prime by 26
@educatedduck6618 the average age of pro gamers is between 20-25 so that comment has some merit. But lets not call a 26 year old "Unc" for crying out loud 😂
@@repentantheart1518 Most pro games have an average age of closer to 21-22, and a normal retirement for a pro gamer is around 26. So the point really is that someone still being this good at this age is very rare, same idea for Faker. I agree though, the Unc thing is just a joke, but has some comical merit at least.
@@repentantheart1518 comedic merit I should say*
I like how he gives props to others in his interviews and then flips on them when gaming and sonic i sub so you know i know 😂i watch all videos and lives
Sonicfox gives us moment, after moment, after moment. He truly is great.
Always love your story telling Danielle!
Thanks!
I still remember Sonic winning an Injustice 2 tournament with Captain Cold and everyone there myself included was like wtf just happened?
I recently just started watching the Mk competitive scene this was well put together and hypes me up even more to tune in and watch great vid👏👌
SonicFox is gonna be remembered as the best fighting game player to ever exist!
SonicFox is typically one of the scariest players to be backed into a corner
Only few people are these dominant for this long, he will go down as one of the greatest of all time if he's not already.
Sonic is my GOAT. I remember watching SonicFox's Batgirl in Injustice 1 era and my jaw dropped and became a fan right then and there.
10:25 bro was happy as fuck 😂
the Score going crazy on these documentaries
He did it again on eVo 🎉🎉
So SonicFox gets a doc for returning to his former glory on MK (which is cool, I fuck with that) but the two Chileans who set the MK world to its knees do not have a single video on this channel of underdogs overcoming entire defined scenes.
Glad to see you guys got Lt. Dangle from Reno 911 to hop on the vid!
Whats crazy is that sonicfox wins more than everyone yet they lose a hand full of times
All of sudden they are not thr favorites lll
Who’s they
@@PandemicPete sonic fox goes by they and he pronouns
@@PandemicPete Exactly. You don't have to change the way you speak for someone else no matter WHO they are. That Pronoun shyt is already on it's way out. 👍👍🔥🔥
@@mwebster3265 why are you so upset
I truly love the production on score esports! Ive been watching you guys for awhile and thats how i got to know about these esports legends and stories.
hats off to you guys truly!
SonicFox casually being the GOAT that they are fr fr
I’ve been playing fighting games since 94. This was really fun to watch.
I remember the point in time back in highschool where we didnt even check who won the tourney if somicfox was in it, we knew he couldnt lose🐐
It's so rare for a player as dominant as SonicFox to so often have the audience in their favour
As someone not in the fight scene at all, I kept thinking Sonicfox was multiple people like the twins for like the first half of the video LOL
Despite the fact that SonicFox is the main event of the video, I love that Chile can be showcased alongside of one the greatest FG players! Viva Chile! 💯💯💯
It was nice to see Shadowfox liken himself to his generation’s Perfect Legend, I hope that the beef between them has died down.
Props for him giving NK his flowers fr 🙌🏾
Mk 1 almost has a really special thing going on, NRS just has to patch a few things, and WB needs to put more effort into promoting the comp scene. Capcom is a great example of how far pushing the comp scene can get you, and WB has way more money
Evo numbers are a good indicator how few people still care about engaging with MK1 competitively. I’d argue it’s too late for that game to become much of anything.
Giving up to easily. Didn't the fgc give sf5 multiple years to get good? That launched in worse shape
@@Mito383 NRS evo numbers are always low, not excusing it though, just how it is. And even though the game is banned in most eastern countries, it is still by far the highest selling fighting game by a huge margin every month. If WB promoted their comp events like sf or tekken did, they’d be a lot better off competitively. I mean shoot we don’t even get announcements in the game for when big tournaments are going on 😭 they don’t even care enough to do the bare minimum
Legent SonicFox! We love ya!
GO1 in DBFZ, the twins in MK, Sage in Skullgirls
Sonic just seems to always find themselves in these sick storyline rivalries in whichever game they play
This was beautiful. Been a sonic fan/watcher for awhile now and this was just nice to see
4:16 guy has to update his tatoo already oO
And most importantly he supported indie fighters like SkullGirls
SonicFox lured me to MK when I first watched him play with ERON BLACK 🤠. He was unstoppable.
SonicFox just owns NRS games. Never seen one person just dominate one company's series quite like this.
Not a god. A legend. There is only one God
The twins are the really life kombat kids
Man this was an INCREDIBLE feature
Waiting for EVO for Takeda. Hopefully, Takeda can bring the MKX like quick action like fight.
Cope lol, MK1's core is broken and wont improve from a DLC
@@rundown132 Yeah you're right about that....
Takeda can’t fix this sorry ass game unfortunately. Like the guy above said, the core of the game is broken. Only I don’t think it’s broken, it’s just not MK.
@@rundown132i’m surprised nobody’s came at you yet lol i said that exact same thing on my videos and people were beyond pissed.
Evo 2016 MKX Grand Finals is my favorite set of Sonic’s. Sonic vs. Tekken Master, with UltraDavid and Aris on the mic inside Mandalay Bay was just the best!
Don’t know sonicfox- or every played a fighting game in my life. But seems like a guy I’d have a beer with!
Darkpants Johnny hits different
Imagine how dominant you have to be for people to start doubting you after a 2nd place finish at one of the biggest tournament of the year
Nicolas' face after he lost to ninja💀 bro looked so mad
Sonic seems like a good dude, win or lose he always has a smile
20:17 no M2K strays will be tolerated, he’s a goat
SonicFox is truly the goat of non platform fighting games
Where are his SF and Tekken Titles???
One of the greatest fighting games player of all times, without a doubt !
He is the Greatest Fighting Game Player at this point Im convinced. Justin Wong doesn't compete anymore and Sonic Fox has been solid in multiple games for the past Decade. C'mon now.
Sonic we love you
We talk about Faker being one of the greatest gamers of all time... definitely the greatest in League of Legends. However, how is SonicFox not in that conversation everytime? No one rules an entire genre, a sport... with an iron fist like this!
Watching this after he took Evo and yea, he’s most definitely back
Yo, it's crazy that they put Diego in the end like he didn't compete solidly for 20+ years before sitting back and having other players take the mantle...
Bro hasn’t missed a top 8 in an NRS game like years.
It's still fresh in my head how this guy overcame TekkenMaster's Kotahl-Khan
Bro really is Justin Wong of mortal combat
No… he is the Sonic Fox of Mortal Kombat. He built his own name and legacy.
I haven’t played Mk or dc but I’ve watched sonic play um. The captain cold and joker game play was so cold. Took a character that nobody used and beat everyone
Sonicfox gives free masterclasses of how to play Johnny Cage😎
Ninja got Sonic's respect. 💯
I love SonicFox’s character and skill ❤❤❤
He's hands down the greatest fighting game player of all time. Imagine if he picked up Tekken and won Evo
Never forget the 13-0 against PerfectLegend
