cR SonicFox Wins Mortal Kombat X at EVO 2015!

[A F0xy Grampa]

But if you went Tempest after the bracket reset, you would have in theory had the upper hand in the counter-picking fest if you win match 1. Regardless, there's no point in dwelling over that. Congrats on an amazing showing.

Yeah I did well enough, I went into this tourny just to enjoy myself. Honestly didn't expect to make top 8, let alone grand finals.

Congrants @SonicFox5000 Great performance at Evo-2015 taking 1st. place.

 

[Kanalratte]

Imo you just lacked practice with buzzsaw. He was a good back up plan, but not practiced enough.

he won most tournys with buzzsaw i think. so no lacked practice at all.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

And yes, for those of you who know me it's that time again:

And the all-time classic at the Fatal 8:

 

[Tim Static]

viewership was at 180,000 at the end of grand finals. get hype

188,350 was the peak I saw before the numbers started going down.

 

[GAV]

I had a really good "America land of the free" joke set up but now I can't use it. Either way Canada and UK in der!!

I was very impressed by your skill and clutch in the games I saw you play, much props.

And yes, for those of you who know me it's that time again:

And the all-time classic at the Fatal 8:

BUT you know PL gave his props today

 

[Wemfs]

Congrats to the top 8 placers and a HUGE congrats to SonicFox. It's unreal how fucking good you are. You're like the Michael Jordan of fighting games. Enjoy your victory.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Also I believe some people said that the MK/NRS scene was going to die due to people having been pushed away, that TO's were going to drop MKX left and right and were done with our game, and that Esports enterprises would never support us.

Well the entire community and Sonic Fox's $85,000 would like to say to you:

NEVER FORGET

 

[Tim Static]

omfg @CrimsonShadow is on a fucking TEAR. lmao

 

[DevilMaySpy]

Can we talk about how Fox and Foxy were the most dominant ESL Champions of their respective regions and faced each other in EVO Grand Finals? I was told online doesn't matter though

 

[GAV]

Yeah I did well enough, I went into this tourny just to enjoy myself. Honestly didn't expect to make top 8, let alone grand finals.

You were awesome, man. Congrats!

 

[Slymind]

Had no choice but to use Buzzsaw, or we'd be switching between Kitana erron and tempest all set.

But tbh, sonic fox is better than me and deserved the win.

Where is that hat trick then?

No, you were told online is ass, and it still is.

And no, online tournaments should still not count in offline rankings.

 

[EMPR_MURK]

@A F0xy Grampa just blew up some lao players who only use/rely on tempest. Utilize your characters abilities people. Variations do make a difference in mus!!!

Good to stuff to Foxy

 

[Miss Kanzuki]

Congrats Sonic!
Even with buffs, proving it's the player not the character.

 

[aieches]

Congrats to @SonicFox5000 And mad props to @A F0xy Grampa those matches were high caliber
Also mad props to @HoneyBee - i never thought id be ANYWHERE this hype to watch D'vorah matches, You single handedly made this character fun and interesting to me .

Well done and respect to all 1178 contestants .

 

[Slymind]

I believe his point is, people that play online for the most part cannot be simply underestimated, sure, online changes things, but there are many talented online warriors out there, that will have a legit performance off-line as well.

 

[Zoidberg747]

Oh shit I forgot to make a congrats post.

Congrats to @SonicFox5000 for once again proving he has some of the best fundamentals in the MK community(If you think otherwise, rewatch the Kitana matches). And of course winning EVO.

Congrats to @A F0xy Grampa for shutting up the UK's detractors once and for all. Also for using buzzsaw, that was hype.

Congrats to @HoneyBee for solidifying himself as the best Dvorah, and also for being one of the few players to beat SonixFox in a set(you also had some of the best conversions of the whole tournament, seriously sick).

Congrats to @YOMI MITYEAP for getting 4th and showing how good Tanya is

Congrats to @YOMI DJT for making yet another EVO top 8.

Congrats to @YOMI Zyphox for making Liu Kang's first major top 8 at one of the biggest MK tournaments ever, and finally getting all the props he rightfully deserves.

Congrats to @PND_Ketchup for also shutting up the UK's detractors, and reminding us of how scary Quan still is.

Congrats to @Milkman for being possibly the hypest part of the tournament.

Also props to EVO staff and Mr. Wizard, other than a few minor things EVO delivered once again.

 

[Juggs]

It was 2-0/0-2 or 3-0/0-3 until losers and grand finals. Pretty interesting how it turned out.

 

[jrock920]

damn sonic fox is a beast

Main pb is not that online players aren't talented.

It's the fact that you can't practice efficiently on MKX by playing online, since that game is a shame, like all NRS games before that one, as soon as you hit online.

Unless you wanna learn how to NOT punish things and practice "online combos" that take latency as a gift from the gods.

Worst fighting game online, by 2015 standards. Period.

But hey ... one Tremor crappy vid and people "GET HYPE" ... depressing how easy it is to forget that NRS just shits all over us for like 3-4 games in a row now, and most likely plan on doing so for a long time.

It's on us though. Myself included. But now it has ended.

Next NRS game will be purchased AFTER online tests have been made ... if it's "NRS crap series is proud to present another crappy product feat. MC Laggy-Doggy Stutter" ... no way in hell they'll have my money this time.

Or "maybe" during Steam sales or PSN sales ... when it's as cheap as Erron Black's tick throw setups.

This dude is scary good. (SF5000)

 

[iamShorteh]

Congratulations everyone, what an amazing showing! That 180K+ first year twitch viewercount doesn't lie.
Enjoyed watching all of these Top 8 matches. Most painful match for me to watch was @PND_Ketchup Quan Chi against @HoneyBee's D'Vorah. Really thought Ketchup would go for a swap on that MU. Respect for that Character loyalty though.

 

[Jynks]

@A F0xy Grampa, @Ketchup, @HoneyBee

Do you guys attend any streamed locals? Really want to keep tabs on the 3 scenes your in, but do not know what twitch chans to sub so I can see the weeklies!

Such a great EVO ... Grats to Sonic. Haters can eat shit, no one can deny your top fox!
