This thread is ridiculous. First, if demo was actually broken you would definitely see more than like 2 people use her in tournament ever, second how is it even possible to suggest that Tanya was a crutch for sonicfox? Like I hate Tanya as much as the next guy but sonicfox is by far the most tournament successful player in this game, and I haven't seen him use her since CEO, so what would account for every other tournament he's won?
I feel like nobody on this site can give props to people for actually being skilled at this game.
Thing is it's ALWAYS been like this. When the fox was maining Erron Black how many other people were rocking Erron Black? How many other Erron Blacks made top 8 during his reign? Oh, that's right, everyone and their fucking mother was rocking pocket Raidens thrashing people with garbage ass completely unoptimized 2 hit combos into superman corner carry into corner shenanigans NOT Erron Blacks.
And after that? Everyone was rocking pocket bone shapers NOT Kittana.
Fox has largely played characters that practically no one else was using. Tanya is the only character he's played that had any real prevalence as pocket character and even that was primarily like 3 majors ago. The perennial top 8 crowd has largely moved on with only MIT and Dragon really doing any damage with her.
People just forever butthurt over SonicFox cause he's way too dominating and some people don't like his antics. FUCK them. He's the best and it's not even fucking close. Seriously it's NOT CLOSE. Dude has made final 2 of ever single NRS tournament he's entered bar 1 for over a year. Not top 16, not top 8, not top 3, dude has been in the final set of EVERY nrs tourney bar one. No one has come close to matching that and frankly I don't think anyone will. Dude is the already the goat learn to fucking live with it
