fox definitely has a near even match up with metaknight
No. Like most matchups that MK struggles in it's a 6-4 MK advantage. Definitely not even.
I hate to break your hype about sonic. x but he just lost twice to a socal random in tournament who mains oli snake and MK
I guess sonic deserves the hype
get ***** thread
edit anuar might win this tourney. The socal PR agreed not to use any character above C tier for this tournament
This isn't the first time X has lost to a random. This also doesn't immediately nullify the 50+ other tournaments where he placed in the money.
That's not even close to breaking Sonic hype.
Sonic still had two top 8s in MLG. That ain't suddenly going to prevent him from rising potentially over Fox. Silly antiSonic person, one bad tournament never changes anything. Get real already boy.
Yep cept you the silly antiFox dood. Pot calling the kettle black.
yeah and this mlg dude lost to anuar who isn't ranked.
My point still stands.
you know the match up sonic sucks, or is mediocre and does not deserve a significant raise
and this 1 tournament buisness rofl
MLG was one tournament, call it 1 bad tournament for people who didn't learn their match ups if you want to play it that way.
DEHF didn't know the Sonic matchup? O wait he has played X in Cali tons of times.
Texas didn't know the Sonic matchup? O wait Espy lives there
Rich Brown doesn't know the Sonic matchup? O wait he's from Cali
You don't seem to know what you're talking about.
why do people not see Peach results? All legitimate Peaches are in stacked areas.
And they don't do anything.
What is pushing Fox above Wolf in some of your tier lists? Are MUs even being considered?
If we're talking about matchups then Fox and Wolf both have bad matchups. I don't care what your guys' matchup ratios are he has bad matchups. And his bad matchups are more common characters.
Example: "Kain just beat Atomsk!!!!!! ZOMG Wolf should be higher"
then he meets DDD.
which tells me that
1. Kain is amazing &
2. Wolf still sucks.
I factor results yes. but knowing why a person did that far I believe is crucial
for example at 2GG(80 person tournament) a player named truth placed 5th with pikachu. The seeding however was done poorly. Truth got a free braket of unranked players and subsequently lost to ranks when he played them.
More specifically regarding this topic teh sonic players at MLG dallas did indeed beat big names like DEHF, tyrant, rich brown, siebrik, ect which are incredible accomplishments. I also know that the players fighting against these mains didn't know the match ups, consequently when I look at anuar beating X I can proove my hypothesis as to see why these players did so well( not to take any credit away from them)
In the case of pit I would look at prominent pit players like masashi, who tends to be an extremely patient smart player who has consistently placed high in japan for a long time. I can then look at the characters attributes, match ups, ect and then make an educated guess about the character. Pit has better overall match ups against high tiers which help aid the player more than sonic who has to over come match ups such as metaknight, snake, olimar, marth, falco ect, most if not all of whom pit does better against.
If however it was shown japanese players were not playing a match up correctly (which I doubt) or some other kind of evidence that my opinions about pit are incorrect I would change my opinion.
Still on that stuff about WC players not knowing the Sonic matchup even though WC players have played X and Espy a lot.???
Ignorance is bliss I suppose.
There are alot of matchups that people don't know. And yet most of these characters still don't do well regardless.
I agree.

wow, that's actually kinda funny...
not to write off your or X's accomplishments or anything of course, but i think it's interesting that there weren't any east coast players (as far as you know anyway, unless we're missing someone)
again i want to stress that i'm not trying to imply anything! i personally am pretty swayed by what sonics have accomplished but just playing devil's advocate here.
EDIT - oh, lain? well there's one midwest!
also lmfao @ all this namesearch bait, what up *****es
Ummm Coney this argument doesn't make much sense. Sonic players are beating people that have a lot of Sonic experience?
And X has done well against M2K in the past....so yea I don't really see why it matters that East Coast wasn't there and they don't have any elite Sonics over there any way so it's safe to assume they would have been wrecked just like the WC players.
The only one to really lay the beat down on Sonic the whole tournament was Ally.
fox has higher upside than sonic but more risk IMO
I wouldn't say either character is really better, I'm kinda with stingers on this atm tbh. tiers can maybe give you a rough idea of character strength but honestly I wouldn't be this picky about 1-2 spots difference, it's ultimately very irrelevant anyway
Yes. Fox is one of those characters that can take your stock in 30 seconds if you're not careful, but at the same time he isn't very safe imo.
I think Fox is dangerous but I feel that Sonic is a better character for this game.
He's mad overrated, who can't even get his best player to go solo Fox, and the only reason he's that high is because a bunch of characters under him can't even manage to scrape up that much. Pit and Peach both clearly have better tools than Fox. Fox's tools are about par with R.O.B.: effective in the right hands, but highly predictable and limited in number.
Currently speaking Wolf is doing more than Fox is, the two clearly belong right next to each other. They have very similar MU spread and results. But oddly enough, I don't think many people are going to accept that for some silly reason. It's due to this thing called "massive overhyping of one of the two characters". How do you fix this? Either give the other character the equal amount of hype, or remove the hype for the first character. Given the lack of big results from Peach, R.O.B., and to a lessor extant Pit, I moved Wolf up.
Nobody outside of B tier can really go solo and do well. Silly guy.
No way in hell does Peach have better tools than Fox lmao. Maybe if Peach could kill somebody before 180% and not be so durr hurr predictable while doing it than maybe.
Oh and her airdodge blows.
Oh and she's slow.
Not even close to Foxs' tools imo. Peach isn't close to Wolf either for that matter.
Better to talk about one character that is currently interesting in the metagame than about something stupid like Link.
LOLOLOOLOLOLOLOOL
