Kola (Roy) vs Sonix (Sonic) - Winners Quarter-Final - Port Priority 8

[@VideoGameOwnage123]

20:23 Sonix got bailed out of getting hit by Kola's jab by the spring😧 Kola getting farmed was just destiny at that point.

[@CipherKnighto]

I can tell Kola was too anxious. He had many different opportunities to end Sonix from what I saw but he hesitated

[@M185_X41]

I bet no one would be complaining as much about sonic if there wasn't anyone placing well using him. Probably wouldn't be as many pleading for him to get a redesign.

[@cds3703]

Hell no, I like advantage state Sonic but I will always scream for a redesign for his moveset.

[@Nick867]

I mean literally look at early days of Ultimate. Absolutely nobody complained about Sonic because the Sonic mains hadn’t figured him out yet. They only started complaining when the character started being pushed and winning majors. This community needs to grow the fuck up and learn how to get rid of their character biases and spewing hate towards an entire characters playerbase

[@CipherKnighto]

Ur right tbh

[@heraldofv3379]

​​@@Nick867 remember when people were complaining about the joker dlc advantage

[@rainmaker6261]

Lol what a dumb comment. Obviously tournament results make an impact.

[@zate5355]

Sonics small ledge hang hitbox is one of the most infuriating things about fighting him.

[@Tlanesi]

I hate not being able to 2 frame such an easy timing. Like he is too far and has magnet hands.

[@178laaleros]

Bro that first game kola looked so pissed off in his gameplay

[@mandalorianhunter1]

To many damn Sonix haters, Sonix was actually being aggressive and was actually playing the MU right by not running in brain dead and people still complain.

[@dusk173]

Tell me about it.😒

[@wilk3425]

10:44 - WHOA! How do I unlock "Live and Learn" as the victory tune for Sonic?! I didn't know that was possible! 🤯

[@Gapplez]

it's a victory theme mod

[@lokks2130]

Kola was lamed to death, holy. Well now that my favs are out I'm rooting for sonix to win the tournament. Cuz he deserves it.

[@DrSlump-fz9ki]

If he couldn’t beat Sonix, he couldn’t win cause he didn’t adapt, if Tweek can beat Sonix with Sephiroth, Kola should be able to with Roy.

[@xanander4693]

W sonix fan

[@lokks2130]

@@DrSlump-fz9ki thanks for the rundown, genius. But it's not the result I'm talking about. I know sonix is a better player Moreso the process. Which was insanely boring and lame.

[@M0ebius]

@@DrSlump-fz9kiSure. But also from a spectator/entertainment perspective the campy playstyle is excruciating to watch.

[@Moegivesmelife]

​@@M0ebius That’s completely subjective. I always love watching very methodical and patient, optimal play from players like Dabuz and Sonix, and I’m not alone. And players are really just trying to win, and will do anything they must to make it happen. Sonix’s efforts in particular were rewarded in the tournament, and people were cheering for him both on-site and in chat.

[@TheShinyHaxorus3D]

Sonic should not be able to be just randomly dair-ing and missing homing attacks offstage and still recover dawg I hope next game they nerf the shit out of that character. He just spams invincible moves and gets to skip disadvantage constantly

[@2000Doriyas]

It's such a messed up risk / reward being able to spam options so safe that no one can catch up to, ZSS players WISH her kit was close to this.

[@CipherKnighto]

He has to have a jump though. Those are both situational options

[@frequentlywrong4459]

that third game, hot damn

[@Kolga_]

Y’all be hatin on sonix just cause he plays optimally he makes insanely good decisions great capitalizations and coverage/ understanding of scenarios it’s always about him camping they literally both where camping each other. I absolutely love kolas play but this sonix hate is just unwarranted.

[@gianz2066]

I can agree with everything u said, yet I still think sonix is lame asf. Yes it's playing optimally, yes it's good decision making, all that is true. But at the end of the day your still playing like a btch in my opinion. Your playing the fastest character in the game, curl up into an extremely safe ball for 90% of the match, and u still camp. If you wanna win matches like that, good for u, but the people like me that love action and taking initiative in a match will always see sonix as one of the lamest players in smash ultimate to watch.

Why are you lumping top players random kids in a comment section?

@@thatdude3977Word is “adaptation” not “adaption” genius

[@Tlanesi]

You have a good point but if you give 64 as an example of less space to complain you are dead wrong. 64 becomes insufferable in some MUs and you adapt as hard as you can to play.

[@aazerwein]

Sonix is so BORING bro😂😂😂.

Funny how the people that hate Sonic's gameplay are the same ones that get hyped over Roys mashing

[@Nick867]

Omg!! Roy threw out 50 fairs in neutral and 2 of them hit! So hype and epic, played masterfully. (Kola is extremely good btw this is no hate to him)

[@justice8718]

It turns out that Roy needed MKLeo to push him.

[@PapiRigatoni]

Ayo why’s this video 22 minutes long Edit: yeah that makes sense

[@lionelwashington8419]

Is this what Smash has turned into? It's been awhile since I watched a tournament but this video popped up on my feed so I checked it out and it's just Sonic running around lol. I also heard something about Steve ruining things but it is what it is I guess.

[@xanander4693]

If it would stop your whining, there’s a fox ditto this top 8

[@mandalorianhunter1]

OMG this set was great like WTF are y'all talking about? Both Fox and Sonic run around, it's how they were designed.

[@PapiRigatoni]

Tbh I think a cloud swap would have been cool to see from Kola after game 2 went so poorly

[@jamesthelivingplanet]

I would agree but he probably hasn't practiced with Cloud much since he came back.

[@PapiRigatoni]

@@jamesthelivingplanet he’s probably still sharp enough to do a little something with him. Sonic cloud is such a better match up, after seeing game two I had that feeling it was gonna be a wash

[@pothos489]

"Sonic cloud is a better matchup" what??? What the hell is Cloud going to do in this matchup? His movement and frame data are too slow and against Sonix especially an offstage Cloud is a dead Cloud. That Spargo doesn't even bother with Cloud against Sonix anymore should say it all

[@PapiRigatoni]

@@pothos489 the sonic mu is even worse for roy, who’s recovery is even more limited than clouds. Cloud sonic isn’t a great matchup but definitely more options than Roy. Also I assume spargo uses aegis against sonix cuz he has a nasty aegis, but I don’t think Kola has a trustworthy enough aegis

[@Tlanesi]

Ken es aburridísimo, ¿de qué hablas? No sé si hayas visto sus tiros pero Sonix baja, se acerca y combea mucho mejor. Ken solo sobrevive a 200 y se vuelve difícil de golpear y te hace desesperar de algún hábito. Es como Dabuz si jugara Sonic.
