>>382397392
Perfect 13gend pls go.

Maybe, he should play Tekken.
>>
>>382397335
yes, I might not like it, but that's the face of the best fighting game player.
>>
Is he really better than Infiltration, Daigo Umehara, or Tokido?
>>
>>382397335
He wins a lot but goddamn I've seen him pull some real scummy shit to win
>>
>>382398812

>>382397335

he got btfo at ceo by slayer
>>
>>382399101
fair enough
>>
>>382397335
Maybe at NRS games. Has he gotten far in any of the other fighting games like tekken or sf5?
>>
He gets fucking bodied at anything that's not netherrealm shit. So no.

Overall best player is probably Jwong. Dude plays and does well in so many fucking games.
>>
>>382399535
Dude, he was consistently getting Top 8 with DOA5.
>>
>NRS games.
>Taking skill.
lol
>>
>>382397335
no, he only plays trash games without real competition
>>
>>382397335
He does well in pretty much every game he tries, but the only games he really seems to dedicate himself to are NRS games. He's like a black time travelling Justin Wong from back when he still cared about winning.
>>
>>382399625
Okay... so did he get anywhere in SFV or tekken?
>>
>>382399625
So basically nothing else
>>
>>382399856
>tekken
lel
>>
He's the NRS god, not the best fighting game player in the world. That goes to one of the squinty-eye'd ones.
>>
>>382399856
He also played a bit of Skullgirls.
>>
>>382399625
Considering how small the player base of the game it's not that hard to get one of the 6 available spots after Kwiggles and Xcaliburblades.
>>
>>382399663
>>382399765
>salty baby scrubs so mad someone is winning that they have to call anything that's not SF "Not Really Structured"
>>
>>382399625
He plays pretty much every fighting game. Guy picked up SFV, BBCF, and VF5 and played for a couple of weeks and then got top 8 at the first tournament he went to for each. Then he quit them because there's no point to playing anything other than NRS games because of the prize pool.
The only games he plays actively besides that is Skullgirls and UNIEL.
Still, Tokido is probably the best fighting game player overall as of now, but Sonicfox definitely has potential.
>>
Probably still Kuroda (autistic focus on one game) or Justin/Daigo in their primes (overall fundamentals).
>>
>>382398537
Maybe, he should play KOF

>>382398786
Lemme know when they play KOF, GG and Tekken.

SF players are overrated trash
>>
>>382400179
>a bit
He's the best Skullgirls player in the world, pretty sure it's his favorite fighting game.
>>
>>382397335
He doesn't play any good fightings like Tekken, or GG.
>>
>>382399194
You mean WhiteBoi
>>
Is he still maining Black Adam or does he projectile spam with Deadshot?

>>
best fighting game player is definitely justin wong.
>>
>>382400246
>Kuroda
Hah, no. He's a 3S God but you can't call him the best fighting game player. Hell, if you want to talk about lack of competition then you talk 3S. Something like NRS games have a bigger talent pool than that by now. Being a dominant player in actual games with a big tournament scene like Tekken 7, BBCF, SFV, or GGXrd means way more than that.
Also "in their prime" means nothing. Tokido is still virtually unchallenged as a multi-game God who played in multiple Top 8s for different games at EVO.
>>
>>382399535
>it doesnt count unless he plays OUR kusoge

sasuga /v/. Might as well bring up the time he top 8ed at SFV so you can go bitch about how that just shows how bag a game it is.

He plays like 3-4 characters, counterpicks everything.

If he is or he isn't, he sucks the fun out of watching any game he plays.

You can call it high skill, but it isn't very interesting to watch a man plink away at his opponents across three different games in a way that makes ChrisG's MorriDoom team look impatient. It gets the wins, but it doesn't get my eyeballs, and I'm certain I'm not alone in that belief.

Lmao he hasnt even touched deadshot since release week and people still act like that's the only strategy he knows.

SonicFox is good because he knows at least half the cast at all times. You finally understand the matchup? Lol get fucked, here comes character number 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 until you are entirely unfamiliar.

No. He plays a fighting game in a small pond and even then he doesn't dominate. If you were to call someoen the most talented you'd expect a streak of domination in their chosen game a la ChrisG in 2013
>>
>>382397335
Big fish in a small pond. He would be a B-tier "pro" in any game with a sizeable playerbase.

He's good at what he does I'll give you that, but the way he plays is so soulless and mechanical that he's just boring to watch. I'm not even sure if he actually enjoys the games or he's just in it for the money.

>>382400412

He's playing Darkseid right now I think.
>>
>>382401135
Black Adam and Darkseid are hardly improvements to Deadshot. Zoning lockdown makes for boring as fuck match, despite the manner its being achieved.

>>
>>382399856
he had a decent fang in SFV in the early days but he said he didnt like the game and then stopped playing/practicing it
>>
>>382400146
He's not a god, he just knows how to exploit the cheap characters. Like when he was getting his ass beat by Erron and switched to Alien for some ez-pz wins.
>>
>>382401223
Yeah but other """esports"""" are literal garbage.

>>382401321
Black Adam isn't really a zoner, he's just strong all around, but I will give you Darkseid. Easily more annoying to play against than DS.

Everyone saw that coming. After he got enough points for ESL last year he would just fuck around in tournaments with Alien instead of actually trying.

He also plays DOA and Skullgirls, two of /v/'s favorite video games, and dominates in both as well.
>>
>>382401580
He could if he thought it was a worthwhile thing to learn. But it's a flashy thing that not worth attempting in most scenarios. He'd spend his time training something else. That's why I said he's a boring answer but the right one. He plays to win, not impress.

Can he do it anyway in the heat of battle? Hmmm, maybe. It's not really that hard

SonicFox is my favorite video game person ever. The dude is chill and good af. Plays multiple games and ain't afraid of nothing.
>>
>>382401442
He really isn't. All the games he's seen success in, Justin and Tokido have as well, but they've done well in games beyond that even. Hell, Xian is better as well since he's a top level KoF player on top of every post-09 SF.
>>
>>382401778
>He plays to win, not impress.

But he hasn't won anything since Evo last year, and that was becuase he was carried by gorilla mash.

Too busy getting married and unJUSTing his hairline.
>>
>>382401390
Yes, he "didn't like it", right. Certainly not because he picked a bottom tier character and was constantly getting his ass beat.

Whatever the reason good, I want this guy out of the spotlight as much as possible. He's an embarrassment.
>>
>>382397335
He's literally an autistic furry nigger and NEEDS to shave his rape stache

But, to his credit, he is really good at fighting games

I mean granted, he does do scummy stuff

Like he won the MK tourny and the CB skullgirls tourney by playing the best keep away/zoners (Acidic Alien and Peacock respectively) but im not an honor faggot so i dont personally care, more power to him for leveraging what's good in a game to his advantage.

>>382401805

You were implying that Tokido was a jack of all trades but not best at any singular game, which is blatantly false. He's great at pretty much every game he plays, but he's also been the best in SF during several periods, and is considered one of the best SF players historically.

>>382402610
Top 8s aren't championships, my friend. He does have a couple of Evo titles, notably an ST victory in 2005, I think. But overall Tokido is sort of the "gatekeeper" to the elite of a fighting game's tournament players. If you can beat him you can consider yourself finally achieving Grand Master status as a fighting game player. He'll get beat by people who focus on playing one game and playing it well on the world stage. I can't consider him the best player in the world. However, he may have a shot at being one of the highest earning fighting game players due to so many high placings.

No I wasn't, that was another anon. I'm just saying it's arrogant to call yourself a "master", when there's always gonna be some literalwho or another "master" down the road that's gonna body you sooner or later. As seen with any fighting game.

>>382402867
ChrisG found a way to get an absolute fuck ton of projectiles out of Morrigan, who also happens to be incredible maneuverable AND can make a clone of herself that mimics her inputs. This allows her to double her output of projectiles, filling the screen with even more shit.

Doom himself is just an absolutely incredible character in UMvC3 to the point where a single Doom was just better than some entire team comps. He adds into Morrigan's bullshit with his hidden missile assist, which fires out a volley of off screen projectiles that rain down from above, adding the projectile clusterfuck.

Here, just watch:

As long as it's on a tournament stage, it really doesn't matter. A stacked bracket is a stacked bracket whether or not the tournament is EVO or not. If he can consistently count himself among the best players in something as stacked as SF and always be considered one of the highest contendants to win any event, then he's more than just a "gatekeeper". You're seriously jumping through hoops to try and act otherwise.

>>382403365
There are periods in SF4 and SFV where Tokido was considered the best player worldwide.
>>
>>382403412
Not really, these numbers came a couple weeks ago and match up with the rankings from most to least McRib gave when he said T7 got 1k players last week.
>>
>>382400994
Is it with a functional controller or intentionally malfunctioning controller?
>>
>>382403365
Tokido was considered the best in AE for a pretty long time iirc. Street Fighter isn't the type of franchise where any single person dominates, at least not until the rest of the competition leaves like Third Strike.

>>
>>382403435
Worth noting? Only ones I can think of are SFV and GG. Both of which he got his shit pushed in and then claimed "he doesn't like them enough to keep playing" as a cop-out. I think he tried KoF, too, but I am not too sure on that. I don't think he is trying Tekken. Wouldn't surprise me if he said he "doesn't like" Tekken, either.

Master doesn't mean you never lose. It just connotes a high level of skill. If fighting games used the Master>International Master>Grand Master system used by Chess, then yes Tokido would easily qualify for GM status. But a lot of people have that.

There's also the "Super GM" status which is not official these days but some chess players use it colloquially. He wouldn't qualify for that. That's relegated to the Magnus Carlsen's and Vladimir Kramnik types. You pretty much need to have won world championships for that, or challenged for them. Infiltration, MVC2 era Jwong, Gamerbee, Daigo some years would be these kinds of players.

CEO 2016 had way better entrances than this year's. But this year was just a better tournament.

Whenever someone mentions LTG I just remember that one grudge match set where he gets his ass beat by some white guy he was trash talking.

I wish I remembered the guy's name or had the link to the set on Youtube saved. It was fucking fantastic.

>>382397335
I don't think he actually has skill, I think it's just him wearing the pelt of Sonic that's really distracting so you can't focus on the match because you're too busy contemplating clawing your eyes out.
>>
>>382404060
SFV isn't my game of choice, but he doesn't play it because the competition is stronger. Same with Tekken. He does well in NRS games, and only plays past the initial release in games with slim competition he can win at.

I don't know the one you're talking about, but his match against Floe is one of the best things ever. Mainly because Floe is so entertaining to watch.

He is the gatekeeper to the elite. If you can beat him you're probably going to be a "famous" fighting game player at that point. There are a lot of people who are really, really, really great at fighting games. Guys who always win local tournaments (or even regional). Who are top ranked online players. These guys will get their ass kicked by Tokido. He just knows fighting games to a level beyond what they do. He's just plain better than them even without the deep knowledge of the specific game. He'll find the most exploitable tactic and abuse the living hell out of it.

But there's a level that is beyond Tokido where you have guys who just live and breathe fighting games and are actively contribute to fighting game theory. They have deep, deep, deep knowledge of the games they play on top of being elite fighting game players. Those are the guys that can beat him. Again, these are the elite. The top 0.01% percent.
>>
>>382404060
>Sonicfox dominates a scene for several installments still ongoing
Because NRS games are literally all the same fucking game. Nothing changes. So it's not very hard. Especially when the competition is just bad.
>also plays several games on the side and does gret in them
Like what? Skullgirls? The game where you get top 8 for just showing up in most tournaments? That's literally the only one.
>but /v/ will say it's not worth anything because he doesn't play their kusoge of choice
Doesn't matter what my games of choice are. He's only good at NRS games and gets his shit pushed in at any game with actual competition.

People complain about scummy tactics all the time regardless of genre.

>>382404210
>Same with Tekken
He could probably shit on the US Tekken scene though. Only people he'd lose to are JDCR and Saint, because they're the only players who ever bother leaving Korea. He's already well-versed in 3D games anyway.

Did ok once when the game was new and nobody knew how to play it. Then started drowning when people actually learned the game and then he dropped it when he realized he was just shit. Same thing that happened with SFV.
>>
>>382404617
He's pretty damn well-versed in a variety of playstyles. DOA and Tekken do have differences, but the "lack of gimmicks" is about the same capacity in both.

Go play Tekken or SF and maybe people will give you some respect. NRS games are trash and only played by shitters who can't into real fighting games

Get real retard, you should try actually watching a tournament for either of those two games. Sonicfox wins UNIEL constantly and DOA he either wins or gets runner-up. You can't claim he only knows how to play 1 type of game, and then pretend like being good at UNIEL, Skullgirls, and DOA, 3 games that play completely differently from eachother and NRS games, somehow qualifies as him only being good at one game.
>>
>>382401805
If you lose to projectile spam, you don't know how to play fighting games

>>382404892
What would you call games with competition? Because games like MKX has had a consistently higher pool of players than Tekken.
>Tekkentards trying to act like they're suddenly bigshots and don't completely suck
SFV being shit doesn't make your scene any less pathetic than it was before
>>
>>382402536
you do realize morridoom has some of the most strategic play style you can have in umvc3?

zoning is actually shit when characters have the ability to kill you in 1 combo, when someone plays morrigan, they give up 1 hit kill potential for controlling mobility options of the opponent as well as force them to eat mix ups under the support of projectiles. the game goes from fishing for hit confirms to space control and mobility. theres plenty of morridooms out there but they never ever make top 8 and chrisg for the most part is literally the only notable player using morrigan. If anything, his dominating skillful play dulled the scene more than his character choices, and he won evo literally only once so its not like he obliterated his competition to a point where all the surprise is gone. I tried playing morridoom and i usually have more success playing characters with easy get in hit confirms like Nova, with morridoom, one bad unfly can get you killed and that shit is easy as hell to happen against rush down characters that can get under and behind you since your inputs direction gets reversed easily

>>382402867
umvc3 is a brain dead retarded insanity game where characters teleport and fly every where and upon landing 1 decent hit they can kill your character, chrisg mastered the morrigan and dr doom combo where he force the opponent in a state of lock down using projectiles where they are forced to outplay his particular play style instead of relying on the randomness play style that most other players use where they spam 1 decent hit confirm move over and over again
>>
>>382397335
He probably is.

Most tourneyfags don't like NRS because they require actual strategy and forethought instead of just spending countless hours learning combo links.
>>
>>382405018
Not a consistently stronger player pool though. Tekken is small but filled with killers. NRS has people who scream at gas stations.

That's not to say that Sonic Fox isn't one of the best fighting game players out there. But he hasn't really gone in on any games where there's a serious contingent
>>
Calling him the most talented is a reach, calling him the best NRS player sure, but he doesn't play anything else and win. He'll pick up a game and then drop it once he knows he can't win in it. He doesn't touch SFV, tekken, marvel not because he can't play them but because he knows he won't win in them. He'll still be good at them just not dominate like he is in NRS games.

Chris G is the only person i can think of that plays EVERYTHING and places pretty high in every game, Justin Wong used to do this as well but he hasn't been doing as well lately.

So you're telling me you don't actually know anything about the NRS scene or the players in it? It's okay to admit you literally have no clue what you're talking about, nobody will blame you for being a retard.

This is like calling someone who only plays Lacrosse, or Australian Rules Football the greatest athlete in the world. It's not as hard to be the best at smaller sports, than larger ones with a larger field of competitors.

>>382405250
Turns out Deadshot was never as good as shitters made him out to be. Turns out that characters who can teleport to the other side of the screen or actually using the system mechanics that are meant to get around projectiles, will actually help you get around projectiles.

Literally NO ONE could replicate Chris G's Moridoom, a lot of people tried but nobody could do it as good as he did just because of how execution heavy that team was. We seen a lot of hybrid attempts of that team since they couldn't do the original straight up. He had to play that team through an ENTIRE tournament ALL DAY and win. His run in UMVC3 is very underrated
>>
>>382405306

>>382405556
honestly man, people complain about morridoom when just spamming fire balls is actually really shit and easy to avoid with super jumps. chrisg has some of the cleanest hit confirms and conversions off of stray rocket hits and stray soul fists to maximize damage, which is way harder than getting a 1 hit kill combo with armored ground bounce move or dive kicks
