How to defeat SonicFox

[Clampa_]

OK, so with another mk tourny under SonicFox's belt (albeit online) there has to be some communication among the community. First off one of the main problems I noticed among the top players is that they refuse to play any character SonicFox plays. In Injustice as well, SonicFox used batgirl, a character almost no other high placing competitors used, So I propose that some more top players ie. Reo and others who come close to SonicFox's placings, at least try to use Erron Black and figure out some of his flaws, or maybe at this point just mirror match him and outplay him, Someone please stop SonicFox's reign of terror, its saddening.

It's easy, you just have to guess right. But of course you should never get there since Fox sucks at the neutral '

 

[Eh SnOwY]

ok

 

[Dudley Dowork]

You have to empty his life bar before he empties yours IIRC.

 

[Ugodimak]

It's funny, because REO also has a Erron Black that is just as good as Sonic Fox's imo.

 

[A F0xy Grampa]

He's good, but not unbeatable.

I dont think its a character thing either. I like my chances :16Bit
We'll see in Burbank I guess

Make him play Street Fighter 4 versus me is guaranteed. .

MKX, you're gonna have to know the game better than he does because he knows when to contest your strings and buttons lol.

Amor out instead of guessing between throw and sand can be a good start

Guy wins tournaments and 75% of this websites population immediately thinks he can't be beaten.

 

[16 Bit]

Slow down the pace of the match and regulate the space he likes to work in. Figure out the most efficient ways to do that, e.g. find an option that cover both advancing normals and run. Make him feel uncomfortable in the neutral and he will take unnecessary risks. Very few have the ability to do that and that's why he's so strong.

Put a bottle milk in front of him. He won't resist.

I've been withholding information because I wanted to give Fox his moment in the sun, but I feel like it's necessary to reveal this shocking truth.

I beat SonicFox's Zod & Sinestro with Nightwing.

(Then got bodied by MMH)

Hit him with that "Whatever, I've got a job" OS. Shit is a 10-0 MU vs anyone.

 

[Scott The Scot]

So your idea to beat Fox is to learn the matchup and outplay him.

Just. Brilliant.

Wise words

I don't know why no one thought of it before

Watch HoneyBee vs SonicFox at Winterbrawl (I think?) Injustice grand final. HB outplayed SFox by doing what 16 Bit said; slowing down the match and making him take unnecessary risks. I think SF has the tendency to become a bit reckless when he's worried which HB took full advantage of. We're talking FG though, and just because you outplay someone doesn't necessarily mean you'll win every time.

 

[DevilMaySpy]

I halfway agree with you. Blaming his character is idiotic when everyone has access to that character. We were told in Injustice that he would not win ANYTHING without Batgirl. If you think Erron is broken or "scrub friendly" then use him yourself and beat him.

@GGA 16 Bit hit the nail on the head tho im sure @SonicFox5000 would adapt & conquer. Btw....

And the other 25% think he lucked into all of his wins.
