 Man, it's kind of sad that one of these gentlemen has to leave the tournament. It's part of the game, man. It's part of the game. Part of the... his head just like... Surrender Kano to the special forces. She's small. I won happily trading for you. Do I look like I came to bargain? Shang Tsung just like that, hitting on Sonya in front of all the kids. Alright, here we go. Getting the first hit, props. Really not worth anything other than just props. But, Foxy Grandpa off to a great start. Sonya now even though... Sonya has one of the best projectiles in sense of she recovers really, really quickly as soon as she's done doing it. So it's just able to just loop it over and over and over again. But Shen Ken can test it. Getting the sole steal for a little bit of a health gain here. Stealing the health, if you will. Wow, he still got it somehow. American reset? Yes, sir. You know, we've seen this match up time and time again within the pro competition. And usually you don't see a lot of normals. You just see zoning. Yeah, yeah. And that's what you're going to be seeing here. And Foxy just really in control. So much health still at the end of that first round. Scar needs to kick it up a notch. He needs to change that strategy. Possibly just trying to get maybe a little bit less zoning, a little bit more going in and applying the mix. Great counter by Foxy Grandpa. Beautiful conversion there. Hopping over, just staying down, staying low and just knowing that I will inch my way in closer and closer. Especially because Sony is getting a little bit closer to the end of the map here. Let's not call for backup and time. This is anyone's round. Let's see who attacks first. Press the attack. Seeing all special moves here. I'm seeing all zoning ducking under and he stood up a little too early. Didn't want to risk it. Oh, this is bad for Foxy Grandpa standing up too early. I love the fake out there, but you know, it just wasn't ready. It wasn't ready to just really fake a capital punishment here. Anyone's game. Anyone's game. Oh, he did that. He did that. The first non-special move we saw that round. 9% lift. Ship is an issue. Yeah, look at that ship. Look at that ship. 3%. Oh, flawless boxes. Look at Snipe out of the sky and what a dominant performance. I would not be surprised if Scar did not switch characters here. We have seen Scar using a little bit of Scorpion, especially during his combo paper run. Slightly different game as it did go through a few minor patches, but looks like we're going soon. Wow. Now, this might be an issue against Foxy. Why? Because, you know, if someone is familiar with Kamalao, it's probably going to be Foxy. Definitely going to know the ins and outs of Kamalao, everything about the character, but like we touched on before, a different variation, but not too different, you know. Right. For the most part, the core gameplay, the core game plan is going to stay relatively the same. A lot of strike throw, a lot of strike throw, and maybe a possible spin out of nowhere. I think they missed up the stage selection. Yes. Not going to matter too much. Get an extra breather in. Both thinking, huh? What's the pose? The thinking pose. That's the thinking man's pose. Scar always, you know, very stoic. You know, whenever he's playing, whether he's, you know, winning, whether he's losing, he's just always trying to keep his composure. And I feel like that kind of translates into his game plan. Doesn't, very, very rare is that Scar gets emotionally shaken. You know, whether he goes down swinging loses or whether he's winning combo breaker. Just very, very reserved person. You really see emotions from Scar. That's true, that's true. So finally, figure the stage out. Let's go, let's go. Let's figure this out. Match two here. This time, a Kung Lao from Scar. Here we go. It's all checks on as well. Good throw here from Scar. Getting things started. And Foxy giving him right back to him. Strap in the corpse. And that does hit as an overhead from the other side. The teleport to kind of give him a little bit more mobility. Oh, down two. What a call out. Big jump and kick with no conversion. The Z-Had here. So it looks like Scar is going to be using Patrick and not the, the Tempest Loud, if you will. For it does have a flawless gap there. And Scar, not looking too hot right now. It's, it's tight. Oh, it definitely is. It definitely is. I think he just didn't think he would do it. Maybe. Oh, Rivers, no punish. Their range as well. Yeah, Cashin and Big going with a soul train at the end. He's going to get it again. He cannot fight the jump over. It's tricky. Oh yes, the fake out. Smart stuff. I love the empty jump into the low. However, you can't get too much damage as Kung Lao. Getting the back throw. Big jump and kick. Definitely going in the favor of Foxy Grandpa. Drop in the corpse. Teleport, perhaps. Are there going to be a teleport? I'm not sure about this. Yes, sir. Oh, he was ready with the standing one. He was more ready than ever. Recognizing the animation. You can't hold that teleport. But Foxy Grandpa, he's playing at a level so high that it doesn't matter if you hold it or not. Scar knew it was probably in his best interest to come out of that teleport immediately. But Foxy Grandpa was ready. Yeah, that was curtains. I mean, even if you would have held it. That standing one, little recovery, I think. The moment Foxy Grandpa showed that patients are not throwing out anything, that was curtains for that game anyway. Deep thoughts from Scar, as this could potentially be his last match within final combat. He's got to make this reverse 3-0 comeback. And right now he's calling for the coaching of a lifetime. Ever reborn here. Just a fellow friend. I mean, these guys are best friends, man. They love each other. They're only going to be in each other's corners supporting 100% of the time. Kevill reborn. Also a really good player himself. And able to kind of share words of wisdom and see what does Scar need to edge this out over Foxy. But this is just looking really tough. He needs three games. That's what he needs. Over Foxy? You know how hard that is? That is tough. Do you know how expensive that order is? I mean, very few players can take three straight games from Foxy Grandpa. Scar needs to dig deep. Dig deep into his soul and really figure this match up out. Or is the answer a different character? Now, and this is where it also gets tricky because if Scar does go for a different character, let's, you know, hypothetically say he's going Scorpion right now in the game monitor. What? I told you. However, Foxy Grandpa is free to change the characters. You can see right there the game monitor. He locked it in. He's in. He's actually waiting for Foxy Grandpa to confirm. Maybe he's just thinking back. What is the frame? He put his money where his mouth is. He said it in the interview. He was like he's still a solid character. He did. He did. He said, I feel like he's really underrated. A lot of people down place for him. Let's see if he can do something. Now, keep in mind, if Foxy loses this game, he is free to change to a different character. But this makes sense, of course, to mess up the zoning. Of course, anti-zoner. Premier anti-zoner. Up again. There's the spear. I'm getting high. It's Scorpion. It's the Grand Master of the Jira Ryu. We got a match, Arma. We definitely have a match. And I know how excited you are to see Scorpion there. Oh, that's down two. Down two to shut everything down. Just stop the momentum. Oh, what was that? Was he buffering something? Was he trying to bait him into doing something? I think he was trying to bait him into doing something. Throw, punish. Scar is in here. He's looking for the crushing blow. Nice damage. Nice damage. It'll blow away from taking this back. If he can't do it, he just did it. The maniac stop. Cancer teleported to the fatal blow. He just did it. He just canceled and did it. And it worked. Scar ready to make this comeback. Foxy Grandpa has to put an end to this right here right now because we all know the snowball effect. It could happen. All it takes to start this is one big brain play like that. The combat league Scorpion are on their feet. For the auto shimmy getting nothing there out of it. Forward three really recovers so quickly just cancelling it. Tell me Mitz, tell me what we're seeing here. Beautiful art is what we're seeing. All scorpion play is beautiful art according to Mitzu Ones. And of course that's because he is a scorpion player. The Shirayu lives. That's it. Tell him. Scream it to the world. Tell everybody. Foxy is so smart. Waiting there knowing that if he cancels it or if he doesn't cancel it I can stop him with these pokes. Not only did he poke out of it he full combo punished it. Wow. Very very good. Uh huh. Looking for the spear. We all know how much damage that does especially if you have the amplified offensive bar. Foxy Grandpa going for the throw mix throwing him out of the corner because the round is more important than the positioning here. Uh huh. Wow. Not gonna matter too much. A Foxy Grandpa from the UK on match points. Fight. Score. Keeping it safe. Right. At least the safe and thoughtful. Safe ish. Safe ish. Possible step from the corner. Not gonna matter too much as a scorpion doesn't have the bar for the cancel teleport as well. What's it gonna be? Oh just raw spear like that. Gonna go into some damage left in the standing position. Back throw. Scar is fishing out the failed escape so he can access that crushing blow. But Foxy not giving it to him. All of us walks as well. Yeah. He's in there. Two one stagger. Beautiful conversion. Force to come off the break way. Down to another one. We already used it. So we're not gonna tap into more combos. Back to back down once. Back three. He's fishing for all of those grabs. Foxy Grandpa being ready. Twenty-one percent for a score. No confirm. He didn't go into the whole thing. That breaks my heart. But hold on. Forward throw. Great oaky here. He's gonna be right next to him. Backing off. Wake up. Foxy Grandpa just takes to the sky with a wake up jump. Wake up jump out of all things. And you know. It's a beautiful story. Do you know why? Because at combo break. That score took. It was also. Scorpion. And last second scorpion pick which worked out. It was a reverse 3-0. Yes. Yes. Do you remember that? Yes. That was incredible. But Scorpion was a different character. He was a different character.
