I lose to some people regularly. I am not a salty individual.

Again, this thread has nothing to do with Sonic Fox. However, it is true that some character specialists are simply not good candidates for "best fundamentals" (i.e., Bane, Batgirl, Martian Manhunter, Zod).
But didn't he some type of way inspire you to make this thread because you was arguing with him about hes fundamentals arent't that good? Would this topic of discussion would even be on your mine if u never argued with him?

I've played pretty much every top player in mk9 and injustice and the player I was always most impressed with on a fundamental basis would be cowboy

Even to the point that he was completely omitted from the poll, lol.
As were Jupiter, King, Perfect Legend, White Boy, and many others. I must have lost to all of them last night too.

The reality is that some character specialists are simply not a good indication of fundamentals. But if I had to rank Sonic Fox's fundamentals, he would be around 25-30 on my list.

I agree. I think Cowboy understands the mid range game like nobody else does. He does jump a lot in Injustice, though.

Fair enough.

Wait a minute, King is by no way a character specialist. He is infamously known as THE counter picker. What gives him success if not a high level of fundamentals?

Damn, I voted only one, but if they are thre: CD Jr, REO, PL.
Honorable mention: Dizzy, DJT.
EDIT: Wow, so many players, I would add Woundcowboy, 16bit, Maxter, Tyrant & Detroit to the honorable mention. I don't count ChrisG because that's implicit in everbody posts, right? And I'm sure there are others I can't recall right now.

LOL at this thread and M2Dave. This man's ego is just tooo fragile right now. He needs the community to pat his back and agree with him on the fundamentals argument him and SonicFox had. He even ranks Sonic (winner of multiple games, even outside of NRS) 25-30 best in fundamentals?! Tooo priceless. I eat this stuff up.

On topic, DJT at Mk9 Evo 2 years ago vs Kabals was just absolutely amazing fundamentals.

My vote in order would be:
1. Chris G
2. DJT
3. CD Jr
4. Rico Suave
5. Theo
6. Sonic Fox

Fool, counter-picking is the opposite of fundamentals. Counter-picking means you do not trust your ability to win an even or a slightly unfavorable match. King is from my scene. I have lots of respect for him, but my opinions are unbiased. You get little to no props for winning a possible 8:2 match up, and I am NOT talking about Martian Manhunter versus Zod. Batman versus Catwoman is an even match. If beating Catwoman with Aquaman is an indication of fundamentals, then you have no idea what fundamentals are.

Yep, that is exactly what I said.
My point is, is that you are saying he counter-picks so that the match up number is in his favour. Aren't match up numbers only ever relevant at the highest level? So if he is able to play these characters and match ups at the highest level, how is that not evidence of a high level of fundamentals? I'm not saying his are better that Theo's, but to not be included in the list and mentioned in the same name as character specialists is absurd.
Are you that hurt that he has placed in majors and won a major with characters worse than your main?

In our set yesterday you tried to counter pick all of my characters with aquaman, sinestro, or Zod.
