 It is the character matchup that we were looking for between these two raco and rain what an interesting one matchup It is because this is one of the only characters that can consistently shut down the water bubble of rain in this matchup very very Counter counter zoning is right going to sit up like this But first they go in the sonic and look at that damage for a week to get it started making it rain indeed Rewind in control trying to get back in control here sonic fox comes up He's got the big I can hit the hit confirm up close and broke before the setup was coming that full charge on the projectile Of rain gonna cause a really good knockdown that can set up all the water shenanigans And he asked the second into the guys are comes out anyway gonna put the knockdown in the rain God putting him down sit down rewind sonic takes the early lead That's what double red into the corner we go and here we go What is the mix I'm going to be completely hidden, but it was the low and ready for it was rewind Barely missing the mid back to the wall now rewind Trying to get out bullying him with the pressure multi-hitting to at any point could break armor even the stand two of rains Knocked out. What's it gonna be just a damage no set up? Okay. I'd like right to your face portals on the screen He's gonna put the double portal if you dump it portal comes again There's plus frame setups that can come the confluence beam that can happen No rewind still fighting scraping his way through this Trying to just move forward out of that corner not for long fox back in control setting up the whirlpool in front watch out there Let's rewind trying to mount it. There's a lot of chip and there's enough chip for fox to take game number one This is a character that you know this is a you know this character Well, you can stop the sentence right there David This is a character. This is a character in rain when the game was first shown up when rain was first shown up We were like, oh this is owner. He's a Dedicated owner big zone or premier zone or and then as the game came out and has evolved over the last month plus Little bit more to the character than that and at this point fox is out there saying that if you don't think that rain is top Here you might not be playing that character, right? That's right But isn't it crazy how the projectiles are what lead to a lot of that sure of that set play It's only a big part of rain's games though. He's just premier zoning up close. Okay for sure for sure. Yep. Yeah Yep, they didn't put that part in there. No, yeah They didn't say where rain would be zoning from and you know what among these two You know who's the premier zone or you know, it's a premier zone or among these two characters right? It's the giant dude with a spear from outworld And not the guy with a staff, but you know, you could be playing him like that the way that rewind plays him He has it's not just about zoning maybe not even primarily about zoning depending on the matchup with Darius That means that he has huge damage on a command grab And the best time to do it right there in that slight negativity of blocking the double overhead minus six if you're there with rain Yeah Always a choice a guess of if armor is gonna come or not and that's what Cyrax is all about with rain here everything into geyser Everything into Cyrax is gonna be the name of the game. Mm-hmm comes Bring them back up for another chance straight beam not into too much. Look. It's rain trying to get in on raco Putting up a bit of the wall with those ninja stars is rewind up against the wall They pick about there. I love that every time you knock some down You just check what's down to a natural armor break built in and that's willing to be the round for sonic the straight shot cancel movement Building meter while rain's doing it Kind of a win-win super sick character again setting up chip setting up trying to pressure anyway denied by rewind jump cancel Fox and This is something I feel like rain detrimental to the drain to the game plan is you have to let low rip at some point and Sonic is committing and there We go gets the confirmation that off the 211 Rain gods those rain god checks are so smooth and very very quickly timed by sonic immediately check in the space Big forward movement on a rewind dashing in trying to get the button for himself. He's got pressure 250 into up close not for long Cyrax makes it all safe Hopefully the meter build almost has full stack right now Sonic full control wash in the feet of this man Everything into Geyser Geyser into Cyrax Right and that's good shit by the way backing off to exactly the right spot to get down to anti-air sonic fox two games to zero Trying to make their way into winners finals And just like in those previous sets even going down to the wire. We didn't see a lot of Set up action. It was just this Big damage cast outs 40 send them full screen throw put something on the screen to try to react to And I love that he's done a really good job of getting to Raco because that's that can be tricky as rain He's back at the character select Dancing around on that screen especially rewinds been playing he has kept everyone out with that just down for and projectile alone that alone Not return Raco So we're going back a while I was about to ask whether he made a change But the game just gave us the answer right there as it's right back to Raco Darius and again There's a couple different cameos that you could play with Raco that I think are really strong with him But they don't give you the big damage cash out of Darius I think that's exactly what rewind has gone back to steals a big turn That's great that one was on hit there. There we go the scoop boom boom boom Beating in the face of range trying to flatten that nose a little bit. I think No, I'm flavor. I'm roasted by old character. That's your boy. That's why I got the mask on Don't hurt advantage. Oh, okay back off just a little bit back to me in Significant damage here. He's gonna be up close to he gets to pressure. Where's he going? The overhead rewind looking good here tries to armor on reaction to the cross-up But a little too quick to go underneath the jumping of rain great defense. Oh Not the Fox is common though get the spinner. Yes, we tried to move in maybe too far and Then amplified stars One of the better chip-out options in the game as it is Look at adaptation by rewind to recognize that Sonic had been pressuring with highs on awful Well on the knockdowns. I wake up down one's gonna stop that The back three not working out for him here Cyrax coming into homie Knocked out of it before he could release from the skies Not this time though pick it up. Yes Again, he's got that was such good recognition by Sonic because that was the only pick up a bull But the fact that he got to the corner there and was able to close the distance That was insane portals a little bit of turn with the portal there. Is there any other one? Yes Plus on block that's called the confidence beam, baby You didn't even see it because they were so close but a beam activates between the portals rain does some cool stuff. Very cool character Rewinds out of there And look at that poke special Cyrax special. Yes So it's rewind who's away now, but to what end he's got a lot of a life lead to make back Fox way ahead Well, it's probably knowing that the one threat right there was command grab Swung their way through that Anything in the geyser. Yeah, Fox still had three bars for brick away as well You know, they were in a pretty good position No cancel. Oh They're swinging out there. It's getting a little scrambling washing the feet Just the toes were exposed for Michael, but they can get a cleaning too. Wow what a down to I've expected to crush and blow Not anymore All right rewind corner time there will be Breaker than it is gonna be spent by Fox but already a lot of damage. This is rewinds opportunity With fatal blow and play in these possible we saw so to make some crazy come on there with the movement with this character Is they're gonna be a setup they're gonna be looking for one more here one more And Rewind one two three. No alive still living but not for long and it is a game for rewind It will not be three zero So scary good patience by every wine and letting Sonic swing there through the setup I'm assuming knowing that rain was gonna cross up right there didn't try to wake up and get it get it crossed up as well We got ourselves a game. Oh, yeah, it's a good match Was not looking for a three oh here either way I could tell you that Three of the four in the winter side of this top eight evo champions. Oh the range on the back That's a footsie button right there. You want to play footsies? That's footsies That's what he's playing footsies with right there the down three of rain. Oh That's what I'm about earlier those quick mixes of rewinds the low sweep down four and then back to going for the dome Mm-hmm. Just a little bit outside. Wow interesting. It's not a foxtie. I'd ask you to try to whiff I know right 70 frame. Yeah, the audacity right there Fox is moving in they tried to pick it up not quite rewind oh Cara cancel in The grab pressure go the make it happen make it out what where they're going It's gonna be throw. No, it's okay. Okay. It's scary because if you don't delay hard mix if you do delay throw can get you Yep Yeah, rain's got some mean stuff there not gonna end up mattering is despite all that what's really mean 383 from rewind What happens to your neck right there underneath the raco's armpit? It snaps. I don't want to be there. No one does I don't want to be inside give me the spin that's rain's bubble either No one knows what's going on in there Armored launcher Not the biggest damage without for sonic. Oh sonic actually backing off Always goes into the range where rain god's gonna be safe and launches really good space On the specials of sonic knock down there from straight shot Fox using that to move in a little bit trying things out. No rewind through Because there's a projectile. I don't think extended it because of the breaker Tharys is back rewind could be a threat on offense. Sonic fox knows Everyone said thank you for giving me command grab because here we go I've seen this before fishing for it with so many lows and then mid command grab I've seen we've seen us bubble time though. Yeah, you notice fox not spending bar. They are keeping that for breaker just in case No, that's gonna be chip. Oh my goodness That's a super effective move in and of itself water that's being electrified I mean, it seems pretty good Well, why is rain the only dual type in mk1 dual type? Here we go. Where are they headed put it out? Okay, no No mix up right there was not an overhead, but could have I believed broke armor? Oh No sorrow story about though Okay, get crazy back dashed by sonic dashed up into the one two though scoop. No, he does spend dairies already Fox is not gonna bother breaking maybe no, okay not gonna bother here What development we got here a lot of bars a lot of resources for fox A lot of money to spend two syraxes to their name as well. Yeah Rain on a couple of bars too. Oh Maybe You thought a flash of lightning wasn't gonna be quick enough. Are you kidding me? That's a three one victory for sonic fox
