 I've never seen almost a bigger sigh of relief out of Sonic Fox after taking that match So the crowd in the back said mercy and he said And one of the biggest threats in this top eight but right now Here we go This is Sonic Fox round number one. Let's fight Cetrion and Yes Queen Cassie This is what Sonic Fox Surprise pick is and it's all about that shoulder right there getting some amazing punishes against Cetrion zoning Well, you can see Dragon was ready to punish it He's definitely ready here Oh looking for that big jump nuke That's a bulk of the damage that you're gonna see from Cetrion not normally known as a damage Look at this, the range is perfect here I expected to come in from Sonic Fox Dragon absolutely ready for it Close to sealing the deal Got it! On the movement! Sonic Fox getting a little ahead of himself What a start out of Dragon Ready for the aggression of Sonic Fox You talked about ready for the advancement has those one ones ready Ready to punish the shoulder Which he said is a massive problem in this matchup Okay, well we'll see putting that to the test Jumps over and that's not a punish but counter it instead He does go for the knockdown Yeah, that was interesting that we saw this particular variation You know, not trying to go for the knockdown I guess that's on the player there Good positioning here We're looking at that pillar to start a crush it can Knockdown, here's Sonic Fox trying to approach Yes, ready for Dragon's approach here And no, hold on, here's the punish No implication on that, it's gonna be a big punish And we're going coast to coast here Corner to corner That makes it gonna be just a neutral jump kick Trying to put some massive active frames out there Sonic Fox in pressure here Keeping it safe Yes And now anything's gonna do it I went in for the shoulder again The idea was right You're gonna have active frames out there with the one one That was just beautiful timing And a Sonic Fox to get in between it Starting towards the corner here But of course that's how you can get out There you go, see it Just like that, you let her breathe This Elder Goddess is out of there And crushing blow here Not one of the launchers But an officering that has quick start up And missed the plus frame I love seeing that boulder sail through the sky You know the threat of that boulder That huge crush it could meet somebody in the sky And it's an even bigger threat As they have recently found That it launches What's that makes it be out of the corner Look at the OS to wake up potentially That's what a lot of central players Like to do in the corner They like to low prop out in the down forth Or attack the ball But here we go The jump right out of there Look how ready Dragon is Sonic Fox is in trouble right here There's no way to escape Ready The flawless blocks on the way in from Sonic You saw them do multiple boulders The previous rounds as well That doesn't mean you take less chance Get ready for the grab of all things And in there Sonic Fox He needs more work though I'm certainly will this is going to be close To about tying us up here Yeah Get very close and deep But here she is Oh my goodness He did wake up jump again The savagery Look at Sonic Fox is laughing at you Why would you do that But it works back to back for Dragon here No smile or reaction from Dragon He's ready Well I don't know if that cast He went exactly as Fox expected Or hoped Is he going to stick with it Yes he is Believing in his choice And he's got more breathing room Here in the top eight Than he did in order to get here You know those first to twos Second guessing yourself Early really happens a lot But here you've got some breathing room Sure Yep you can experiment just a little bit But now of course He needs to win Three of the next Four? Potential four matches Yeah That was just a phenomenal start For Dragon right there And you know he's done a phenomenal Great job of keeping Sonic Fox away And he's Stopping approaches here Getting huge damage himself Sonic Fox just hasn't gotten You know Against the Okay That can launch You can do a full screen Geyser into about 500 to 600 damage It's so sick As a zoner to get that level Of satisfaction from a combo It's rare Oh no No Put us out of Sonic Fox And Dragon It's just running away with this right now I gotta say it does seem like that Dragon seems absolutely ready for everything He's ready for counterpokes He's ready to control the screen with zoning He's ready for punishes And it doesn't seem like Fox is quite as prepared Punish not quite Close though Oh Nice crossover I'm feeling that if Kasim Kidd Was actually in front of Setsuron That may have antired This is exactly where Fox wants to be Looking for the big damage Did wanna see that Dragon Wow Nice to confirm And out of the corner first Not a ton of damage afterwards So ready for it And I like what Dragon did right there He ended with a wall Because he would have ended a geyser And a breakaway would have occurred Would have been in a punishable situation Who didn't expect it But Dragon expected that SNS has been against Lovely with punish right on through He is so scared of that shoulder What an absolute animal Nice side switch as well Big damage Back to full speed We go just a raw geyser And the fatal blow Is it gonna be enough She survived though Not very effective Okay But still a lot of control And he hops on forward Dragon Controlling things Not just with the projectiles But with the normals as well And you don't expect that At a Setsuron in an exact position Who's gonna try to run away Try to zone you out With that last little bit of damage And Dragon says you know what He's gonna expect this Forward dash of pressure And there is Sonic Fox Can we see a 3-0 Against Sonic Fox How many times did we see Sonic in his position At combo breaker though He was down 0-2 I think twice in that top 8 I was able to turn things around But in those cases He switched characters And he did not do so here He's just gonna have to run it back With Cassie Cage the whole way Off to a good start here Doesn't get great Okie off of her throws This Cassie Oh my goodness There's a rush all the right there No crushing blow off it Interruption right there Sonic Fox Trying to get the corner here Dragon out At the cost of one defensive bar Something you'd rather see Dragon do this matchup as well Is do anything into the Amplified wall on block Because she's one of your Characters that can stand 1-1 Through with that 7 frames very quick Whip on it See what he gets He wants the corner for himself Or at least maybe He wants all the stage to himself Yeah he's backing up a little bit Hoping to see some movement Oh my goodness Dragon's so smart Trying to make these reads That was the first one That may have not worked out That's not an easy thing to do Got it Hold on now Safety Staying away They both have failed Oh he got it And that is going to do it It's match point Dragon threatening to 3-0 Sonic Fox He said that if He feels like if he plays The way that he knows He can play He's confident it's every Single person here Especially here against Sonic Fox Look at the way That he's playing right now See how confident he was To teleport close To go for the grab But Sonic Fox was ready Oh Big good punish there Not a lot of damage But good positioning And a good okie there Off that control tackle Oh here we go The re-stand for Dragon Here and on the rock wall We're going to mix things up And every time that he's Staggering with a stand-up One like that is Dragon A downforce is waiting for him Fox is ready for the Stagger Not ready for the anti-air But Dragon trying to back off And then start something up Trying to get the anti-air Sometimes it's good Not right there Especially once those jump Kicks are active Very hard And kind of on top of her head Dragon trying to move He got punished He got punished for waking up Jumping into the game That's right Here's the whip punish Now there is defensive bar He's going to save it See if Dragon can control the screen You're bringing down to a scary Hell trap Trying to take up space here Anything in the guys are right And now he's ready to Jumping along Dragon is going to take it 3-0 Over Sonic Fox Desperately trying for the shield But it's not going to work And Dragon doesn't He's already stood up He knows what happened There you go He makes it into Winter Spinals Over Sonic Fox
