I'm fucking done.

*Basically wins 2014 Injustice* "Batgirl is dumb *
*Wins Fatal 8* "Erron has safe 50/50s AND an unblockable command grab. This character is stupid".

Fools, SonicFox makes them look stupid. Erron's 50/50s aren't even safe without meter if you're looking to get a full-combo. Pocket Sand is hella unsafe but nobody ever punished it because they've only been playing for 2 fucking days.

Let's not act like it was the 50/50s that SonicFox ultimately won with either. In Grand Finals, he won because he adapted quicker, plain and simple. MIT was using hella D4s and Sonic blew him up with a NJP every time. Sonic had the reads on wakeup EX teleport and played patiently while waiting for MIT to hang himself.

But fuck it, nerf Erron Black because there's no way SonicFox can win without him.
Logic doesn't apply here though

1) Make sure ur opponent is in the corner.
2) Grab, pew pew pew - win.
Grab, pew pew pew.... Pew pew win.
Pew pew, Grab, Pew PewPEw, Grab, PEW PeW pEW pEw win.
Fool, why are you disrespecting Sonic Fox?

Yes, it is true that Erron Black's 50/50 mix ups are 100% safe. However, these mix ups may only be set up after a safe and armored special move that covers half the screen and ignores most of the projectiles in the game.

He is a prodigy and extremely talented fighting game player.

If Erron's broke nerf him, don't matter if Sonicfox is good or not. He can win with most of the characters. We don't need broke characters mix like Kabal and Cyrax it's nonsense.

nobody is QQ for nerfs its just that sonicfox had the best tools and exactly becuz of those 2 days hes tools were superior against the others ,who didnt maximized their characters pontiential for exp: hitbox tyrant didnt amor trough everything like he would he mk9 instead ,sonixfox did that with hes mb pocket sand and mb command grab.Sonic was really the only one who was good at the knockdown game. He surely deserve the win no doubt.

Thats why they call this thing bloodsport, kid.
Are you serious?
Yes, very serious. That might even be a conservative estimate. 99 out of 100 players in a game that millions will play is not crazy. Hes easily better right now than 99% of all players that will play this game will ever be. It's not a silly thing to say when you do the rough math.

There isn't a single thing in the rules that says this website is only for "competitive players" so you're wrong off the bat. Secondly, if you don't like what I said, why not ignore it instead of replying to me and trying to incite an argument?
I'm not trying to incite an argument, but I'm just trying to understand your point. It's just a discussion. Why does the average player matter? And you're right, it isn't in the rules, but I do think it's pretty clear what the main focus of the site is.

Let's go green!!!!
Yoooooooo I was a bit sad that stryker didnt make it and planned on picking Erron Black as a substitute. Man Erron Black looks hell strong right now. Complete opposite than stryker. Im definitely gonna have a lot of fun with him. The game is new so I expect player to counter his shenanigans at some point but I love that he actually has 50/50s.

Do not touch me again.
Sonic Fox is a fraud and will be exposed in due time, but of course you fools would use a pre-release exhibition to validate his Injustice career.

Get your guns on. Sheriff is back.
This website IS for competitive players, and for those who want to start in the scene. Not for filthy casuals.
You try to ever treat anyone here like that is true and you will incite a war with me personally leading the charge against you on that position.

Fighting games are for EVERYONE. We don't call folks "filthy casuals". That pisses me off...we were all casual at some point and we will ALL be free come Tuesday. Its a new game. Folks learn. Some play for fun and some play to maximize their abilities to tourney levels. Those that play for fun often come here to learn from us, to help grow our community by developing into a part of it or just to simply learn from us.

What kind of community are we if we treat casuals like shit? A suicidal and foolish one.

I support casuals. I support heavy single player features in fighting games. If folks suffer online due to a character they can learn to get better. I expect them to learn or to do what many do...play nonranked for funsies stuff. They can play Test Your Luck indefinitely and many will.

Its okay though to be casual. Hell, they are THE MAIN REASON that games make money. If you don't make a game meant to be enjoyed by them and playable by them as well as folks like us then you are misguided, short sighted, and short lived.

I support casuals...just not salty feedback that we can educate instead of yell at with names that mock them for struggling. We can help them learn to adapt. They may never become great but they can learn and we are here to help.

May God have mercy on anyone who tries to scorn a casual on my watch.
