just want to say concerning mks popularity, its already ridiculously and surpasses capcom games with outside media ie movies, web series and mkx trsiler has more views than any sf game.... Lol so i think its safe to say mk is more popular than sf as a series.
Mk has to been to majors so it should be respected even if tournament' wise capcom games are automatically worshipped....who cares, mk will do well regardless plus by now people are sick of ssff4 uber duper omega 500th edition and just want sf5 already. Btw sf may be mcdonalds but mk is bk also crazy popular.
Now onto the sonickid I think he's good obviously, I also think he's on a streak right now a groove and probably won't last forever(just being realistic, not hating)
But I wouldn't put pressure on him with too much though, he's human too at the end of the day so when he does lose(and he will at some point) people will say "oh crap is Sonic the same player"?
I've noticed this pattern with past champs, then they lose and people either mock them or start speculating.
I definitely think he's one of the best MK 9 players obviously and Injustice too. I also think we have different players that reign supreme in various fighting games and MK games and it's impossible for the same player to win in every fighting game, it's yet to happen. Don't take it the wrong way, just being realistic. When someone says "greatest of all time" I think someone who literally wins every tournament, in every fighting game. And I feel this way about every competitive MK player be it offline, online whatever. I also think of someone who literally can own anyone with ANY and ALL characters, another thing I've yet to see even from TYM known online, offline players(myself included) I don't know anyone who can use every character godlike, just not going to happen.
My honestly opinion with topics like this.
