 Number three overall on points, and that was fourth at the online competition fourth at CEO first to dream hack Montreal third at East Coast Throwdown first at NEC That's quite a path for a year and in doing so he did run into Fox a few times a few times seven times overall throughout the pro Competition with a total head-to-head of five two in Fox's favor But those two victories over Sonic happens to tie the most victories against Sonic Fox out of anybody on the planet So if there is someone here that can do it it is ninja killer and is the most prepped for the matchup that we are going to see here 10-night David talk to me about whether they've played each other in this okay, so you know Happened to see these two just like all the other finalists here in the world practicing yesterday and the Knowledge that I saw in the Dubai ninja killer in this matchup Which we're not even going to get to see all of that means nothing here as ninja surprises us out of nowhere with an RKO pick of Johnny Cage Which matchup did you see them play we were I was looking for Liu Kang versus Joker here in Ninja only breaking out You know Liu Kang here one time one time throughout the entire tournament It's been all Liu Kang will see what the difference is going to be since I saw them play last Sonic box of course coming with ace of nades Joker You're gonna see a lot of setups a lot of range a lot of Jack in the boxes Joker here in MK 11 happens to bring the Biggest arsenal I think out of any character I've ever seen besides what we just saw in that spawn trailer. Are you kidding me? He's honestly a really fearful opponent. I mean he's very scary great great puts these great mix-ups of clothes good damage You wanted a character in this one. This character was almost designed with Sonic Fox in mind You know looking at the range looking at the way this character resets neutral off of every single touch Gapless and on top of that all the setups the way to think ahead to plan ahead to set all these traps up super Ready what Sonic has tried to do throughout their competitive career Well, it's not a box try that and immediately ate a shadow kick to the face Which is you know Ninja has almost the same read that he has with Liu Kang in those situations with flying kick Just replace it with shadow cake and it's almost the same right right right and that's really fast with my stool And that's what Ninja almost prides himself. I'm gonna be prides myself on it But but I from the outside looking in I pride himself on on his reaction incredible reactions. Absolutely, right a quick little duck by Fox Damage Okay, waking up with the button No fear whatsoever There's a placement of that to do the the close jack in the box Because you know it wants to be aggressive and what a whip on a ship in between I mean the reaction we were just talking it up and you can see exactly why right there Pretty not in the middle. This is right We want you with Johnny take him to the corner aka jail if you're this character. Yes, there's a plus six that's right a Very late throw and yet there's an engine killer ready for it. Oh, you can really see Fox is trying to mix in the timings Okay, and how many mix-ups are off of that fatal blow cancel two characters can get to their fatal blow in this game We happen to be looking at them. Is there a pattern here? There you go Okay, neither one taking mini risk at all right now has the fatal blow back actually could cancel it again Right here in the call out by Ninja on the down one look like Fox is going for that Ford one and All-purpose tool is that Ford one range when you see the money on fire come out Nicola absolutely ready Yes finds it. Mm-hmm damage comes gets the side switch and 378 damage for the effort to jump out of the corner with it couldn't have been a risk and Turning things around here for Ninja. Yes. Well, this is really stuff. He's got to find way out. I haven't seen it yet Yes, at least chance for them to escape here it is But you see that what a rare drop from Sonic right there that could have led to so Not only damage, but the setup afterwards goes. Yeah, extremely deadly throw after the fatal blow Joker does get a crushing blow on that throw 310 damage Because it was on cool down when he grabbed even though it came back during the animation still able to pop it It would have come up between the four two and the one You can definitely see the respect between the two players not just in the gameplay itself But in that kind of response by Fox to getting got with it down to this is the tone set It was that close and it came out to a read like that Again, the reactions out of Ninja Club is when I see Joker to a four two one at me. I'm usually holding. Oh, yeah, I'm scared Is that push to the corner? And this variation does have a mix-up off of that for one for where you know You some low option there also has the overhead pro bar Which we haven't seen too much of Sonic box actually get the hits into those pro bars to amplify to try to build a crushing blow We actually see Ninja killer break out of a couple of those Great and he went underneath that was sick. Oh here we go the amplifies three of those pro bars It gives an access to a very damaging crushing blow. Oh This does so much damage and let's put a smile on that face It is damaged on the other hand There's no more of the tricks with fatal blow on the cancel The cost of the health bar I take it. Yeah Crazy There's the final combat trophy I picked that up earlier and you know, why go to the gym when you pick up That was your workout for the day. Absolutely. I think my shoulders still a little bit thrown out if I'm being honest with you I'm making it through the jack in the box and loading up one more towards that crushing blow believe we're at two total Always got to keep track of those That does have an impact on whether there's gonna be a lower and overhead Oh And once again, he's he's so good at going between the highs and the mids up strings. I can't believe the whip on us That was incredible. I saw it next hit. We'll do it. That's right on the ground Once again, how many times are gonna see it? Yes, one for the low And whether it's amplified or whether it was gonna be crushed blow no longer matters right there A little disappointed that we didn't get to the crushing blow, right? Yeah You can't actually amplify it and get the cross That's right. Yeah And you know a lot of players do make that mistake of not knowing where they're at and just naturally ending that right anyway It didn't matter in that situation Here we go tied up for one game of peace and this has just been how this tournament has not start to end if you guys are Just now tuning in this has been in my opinion the best Mortal Kombat tournament I have ever seen with almost half of the matches going to game number five Twelve of twenty seven was it David? Yes, correct Huge range on that button and now amplifying it here sonic box. It's a chance of a pressure. It's been pretty light. Okay Things gets really good oaky as well, but not on that forward throw But hey with the health lead also has some really cool tools to put on screen to zone with the gunshot They can put out the apple by jack-in-the-box. Yep, just on cue right there. There's a turn there Fox not been able to just do that willy-nilly. Yeah, those have been punished It is the best in the world at micro ducking projectiles and getting those They called each other out for it And you saw Joker not able to get the kind of shadow kick punish cap forward one right into it What a cancel and Sonic Hawk sticks around and look at at the end of the day. Come on Where did that cost him David? Actually nothing. No To fight that fatal blow going to be going absolutely nowhere I just start off with a jump kick. It's a big damage. I saw the breakaway from sonic box No, I dare attempt right there. What's that? Jumping is active. Oh, that's about your only option in that exact situation Yeah, they were definitely playing around that kind of idea, but didn't you go? I got it very hard to do you guys watching from home that is Blocking that within a three-frame window and getting into the following input very tight stuff But this is why the guys are the best on the planet David Gonna be save the day Sonic box pressure With the whole string What a block You have to be thinking he just wanted to try to get one of those not my car one of those crowbars loaded That's a situation because you know if it's blocked, okay I'll hit just like this you start to feel a little bit better because the closer you get to that But the more powerful you feel it's like You know gaining power levels. Yeah, it is exactly like that the fourth one becomes super damaged into the corner I Love the little bat doll by the way. This character looks so sick And the fact that Joker has a wonderful Batman imitation to yeah, it's just icing on the cake here It's about a jack-o-box holds the other one. Yeah, you can hold it if you hold it long enough It's when the actual Because punish it's a big old crushing blow Uh what I think Sonic one of there was to get something into the armor and then put down in Enamplified box to cover that but the stand for a little too early like and this is just So now Ninji Kayla has to consider whether it's worth sticking with Johnny or the character that you saw last night And how did that go? I mean this is this is the character that he's known for Multiple multiple you can and how did it go when it was Liu Kang? Was it pretty free But we'll see because that was casual like like I also brought up You know these guys save a lot of things for this. Yeah, of course, of course, of course, but it is to pick the Liu King here Down to one Sonic one away from grand finals of final combat Going up against one of the nemesis is of the tour. Oh, yeah, it's been a great rivalry between these two players Only only three players have multiple wins over Sonic dragon. We have us being the top four. Oh, yeah Netsha kill here happens to be in the top four and rewind to I believe we're not By the way sick Joker costing I love it First wake up that that works because yeah Yeah, exactly, and it's just not super common in the top player meta And you know those things that steady that they saved up their sleeve with something like that, right? I don't know about you, but I saw fire out there. I Okay Right there on the full thing and ducking under and down. Okay. Oh, there was no breakaway Never mind wasn't even an option son of fuck's new and now it's match point Looking crisp here wanted wanted to do it all the way with Juggler. Oh Just Stop it at this point. You could have done what you did earlier make a read crouching actually get a punish No, let's just show off the fact that our reactions aren't that good. Yeah an execution Okay ready and what was that a reaction of the movement forward there? You kill out of that. I didn't want to see the rest keep it a safe for low Life here. What's it up building a crushing blow up his own with that as well? Yeah? Oh Oh Plus block it but didn't have the defensive meter During that cool down of the fatal half the viewers at home just did the same little like whence that I did Slowly on the approach Still on the approach and boxes back ninja killer up all the way to the corner Now there's a lot of respect and now double fatal blow territory Flying kick ninja stays alive. What awareness flying kick in that situation. That was beautiful One of the quickest things. Oh, yeah, that could have come out and with the damage to kill him through the armor of the breakaway Great range and almost every time she goes gotten out of that crowbar I don't know if there's a custom blow lined up on it because of that. I think all these breakaways are just to avoid that That's my guess Yeah, no meter for the up to the First time that Fox went for a stagger on that string and yet it was ready Yeah, I'll afford one there They're gonna get a trade that look to be in Sonic Fox's favor got tied up on health all over that throw a Yet again, you get that on the second hit is so wild All these two are playing some amazing Mortal Kombat right now. This is fast of quick reads quick reactions Did you kill us live it's not quite that we're gonna go to a game five just another on the night Here we go Can you believe it? I can this is definitely believe it right where we left off Just another game five on the night and it's gonna be Joker still that's what Fox said They're gonna stick with this character the entire way it is down to one ladies gentlemen Yep to the rescue. Oh Probably a little bit too late on that and it made looking flip over a little more than than they wanted right there But some of those things are just real tricky funky choice Second hit forth in this instance. Oh down to what'll read a little bit too late So did you go actually took advantage? Chance for pressure. We're gonna be here. Just just check it on to yeah both spent Here we go. That's gonna be the round and then you kill a goat into a fuck from the depths of what looked like to be Sonic Fox's victory now has match point of his own and crushing blows loaded all over the place But first blood go to Sonic, but here we go. What a timing there Now that bicycle kick crushing blow here Fox has to be worried about every single one of us loaded. Oh this is so scary Life alert here Expecting the breakaway when none came what a screen in the past 20 seconds. Here we go. They were deleted Neutral completely reset Everybody in here is standing right now in anticipation of what's about to happen breaks the throat. Let's get a little calm back 2020 there's mama ninja killer in the crowd celebrating Not over yet, but what a sigh of relief Switching back
