Fighting Games' Greatest Rivalry

some rivalries push a game forward we're gonna dub this go easy vs sonic Fox the session of the oppression some rivalries make for the most incredible exciting matches but some rivalries transcend the game he took me out this time is in winter side grand final one for set for him and he's exhausted Sonic Fox and go Ichi are two of the greatest fighting game players of all time they came from two different scenes to different countries they spoke two different languages but when they did come together they created the greatest rivalry in a fighting game history he is your evo Dragonball Fighters champion and damn right he deserves it Dragon Ball fighters came out it seemed position to bring together players from all over the fighting game community because well after all everyone's a Dragonball Z fan and on that front Dragonball Fighters was a huge success bringing in players from Street Fighter Mortal Kombat Super Smash Bros Marvel vs. Capcom guilty gear and even more obscure titles like melty blood and some of those games very best came into dragon ball swinging immediately two names emerged as everyone's frontrunner for the best player in the world in Japan there was go eat a living fighting game legend the best melty blood player in the world and a master of what many refer to as anime fighters he's played like ever every poverty anime game that you and I've never heard of he's like multi-time champion meanwhile North American fans were rooting for Sonic Fox the best Mortal Kombat player of all time and a talented prodigy who succeeded at just about every fighting game they've taken seriously and master was barely a player celebration sonic clocks just like that once again the repeat yeah sonic Fox is definitely like a savant right it's very easy to see when he picks up any new game how talented he is that it immediately the pair dominated tournaments in their own regions and even traded verbal blows across the Pacific so yes when he cooks oh one thing go Ichi oh my lemon she daddy meanwhile fans were so excited to see them face off that they even drew manga parroting dragon ball in anticipation of their inevitable showdown sonic Fox right he's always been a dominant American player so for him to step over cross over to anime style game you already got a respect the the people that was there before anybody else which is the Japanese players you know that people overseas where these guys are just masters at that game at the anime games especially go eat scene I'm saying they call him the the king of anime at final round the first major international tournament after the game came out Sonic boxing go easy based off in a first attend a match that go Ichi one handle you know what great job from Co Ichi he called them out and he finished the job that for for the obvious we knew what we came to watch it was it pretty and then just a few days later they faced off in the tournament's grand finals go Ichi started to set in losers and beat sonic box 302 get the reset where he narrowly defeated sonic Fox again three to two that baby turns it all she wrote as though weeks goes into the loops final flesh it coming after this energy field and this is gonna be enough to through the top don't eat see is your final Crown champion what a tremendous grand finals the guarantee it's settled down don't we see is without question the best in the world but logo we teach triumph that final round that match was just the beginning of a year of back and forth matches between sonic fonts and go Ichi first came another first attended show match but he's gonna deep into bed Jesse does and go eats eats noises and then combo breaker potentially want mix-up away ladies and gentlemen's from taking this away your combo breaker 2018 Dragonball Fighters champion and then some of the power there to air you got under or Box gonna take it away for you out 4th place for going she in the summit of power you know it's safe to say I think at this point that is gooey cheese demon heading at the evo 2018 the pair were an even 3 to 3 in official tournament sets it seemed like destiny that they faced each other in the grand finals of the biggest tournament of the year the pair tore through their respective sides of the bracket facing off in winners finals and their hype rematch was as insane as people at hope but and then a lot quicker than many expected because the old things yes he is healthy make some hero the extra help you summon Shenron and everything javelin come on is that actually yes it is sonic boxing grand finals winners side sonic fox13 oh but after a swift win over his teammate Fenric ghalichi clawed his way back to a rematch with his ride gonna take out Finn rich and give us a Grand Finals of Sonic fox vs. go eat the win was quick decisive and brutal though ichi resets the bracket was a three oh that silenced the doubters and proved he was ready to reset we've got but sonic fox wasn't quite as ready for the next set they decided that they wanted the player one side of the stage but the language barrier prevented go ichi from understanding what was happening for five agonizing minutes yeah the question sonic boss apparently asked me if there could be a side switch in between the sets he wants player one note but the rules say not son you can stay right there now then wow what a shambles a side switch what a gentleman like I said I've been in the game since oh three and that's always been the case you can actually do that on the arcade cabinets this is actually the first time I see it in consoles like I never thought I'd see the day where I see it on a console like I mean I never thought by the time the match got underway the lychees momentum was frozen Sonic Hawks won the set with a 300 and ended the night as the best Dragonball Fighters player in the world after that Evo showdown sonic fox can go each he didn't face each other for the rest of the year it's not they didn't fallen off they were still two of the best players in the scene it's just that by the time the world finals rolled around in January 2019 all eyes weren't as Anoka no go your Dragonball fighters champion but after failing to win or even face each other at finals both players went into overdrive going to start of the next season like a rocket winning final round again and then winning every single tournament he attended NCR combo breaker CEO he was literally unstoppable meanwhile Sonic Fox is placing well but they weren't quite reaching go easy in bracket and when they finally faced off a CEO go EG took the set to a optimization station my cup ouple those guys like not if they had to yep yep I got you man it's hot if I said yeah I agree and of course go easy gold to the winners final all this is to say that heading into evo 2019 go easy was the tournament favorite but unbeknownst to most sonic fox took their team back to the lab and got to work crafting a new team to fight go ichi they dished the masa who helped him get the eva win the year before and picked up kitty boo hoping that his assist would help him break gooey cheese legendarily unbreakable defense the two tore through the bracket on a collision course for winners fine and when they finally met they played the greatest set of dragon ball fighters the game has ever seen we have to meet every go slow sonic wants to run bar talk to the office instead of the GT goku air dash mix-up needs to be careful with those bandages i can tell you right now he might get two eights misty air - cancel greet you with a challenge gz go to assess old the vanish sandwich and some back goals for the overhead make some looking at the deep it from luigi oh my god he's gonna out block the entire sparky how they still doing this right now replace out the dragon rush that's a beautiful whistling ish sonic was ready this is his first big hit in a while you're gonna set up the self-talk and still get the free follower basket if she could choose to take the mix up all right gonna take the damage he wants the mix-up oh he took the reset he wants the reset for the mix-up because of that he's not gonna take the extra damage sandwiches them air nap cancelled over a head again he flaps over a block you can't block for if I may go each of you you pretty darn close to doing it example out for this time there's too many options being thrown at Gucci for him to stop everything eventually and Sonic's really just grinding it down to this man level three that's gonna hit Bob he's got a lot of meter to dump on this this is a grip of damage next it kills kit boo wake up under one three two just like that six meter spent kid boos out of there one character apiece old caught he'll definitely could it be the band then it's gonna be the game for sonic [ __ ] that's gonna be two two two two final game between these two in the winners finals go eg vs. sonic box even they look tired oh man what a set powerful going to do it 2019 he clutches it out last year he took the out this time is in winter side grand finals one more set for him and he is exhausted with an insanely close win goiti moved on to the grand final the sonic foxes run wasn't over yet they clawed their way back with a 3-2 win over fen rich setting up the run back that everyone wanted to see sonic pops he's back in Grand Final in history repeating itself once again you said it at the beginning we're gonna say it again at the end these two running into each other again through finals he's waving him over he's like let's play wrong now I'm ready boy come on you I want you come on come sit down buddy pal have a top with uncle furry gonna tell you real Adam go itches like all this that's racing sonic box vs. go Ichi the greatest rivalry in the fgc big damage more than half life he's got four parts oh I know character dead yet so no Super Saiyan 4 but village huh look at that the two M starter file top of it that's gonna be a damn character thumbs up looks low block Shikoku that was a beautiful read from Sonic so Luigi stayed on the ground he wanted to challenge that's the kill also by the way so he wanted to challenge Sonic Fox was running up behind GT Goku assist he hits diagonal up so instead sonic fox jumped through a key blasting out down knowing so we choose gonna hit a ground it button it was a clean read and if you're going that feels real bad that's like missed and you should have maybe jump the bed drop the big pink matter oh now sparking available for go Ichi challenge outlets yokel weaknesses now bro you got the character map it W when he drops the whole bank drops the light light asset that's a break on the dragon right yeah you know Sonic's looking for the tag level three wow he calls them out gooey cheese on one character between him and a reset three zero Luigi hold the Dracula's you knew what was coming extend trying to get as much damage as possible he built one Carl bar this should be the kill level one go easy pretty that back we're still fighting in this first set you thought it was going to be easy Sonic boxes like you know for a second I did thank you Franken balls locked and loaded behind the evil logo but that's a mix-up fine switch not even necessary to get the kill with the javelin another level one rough spot for Sonic talk tough fits the stuff we saw those first two games go pretty clean for Sonic Potts and alpha wheats is winding it back or that spirit Bob down powerful he was reading the back - we saw that in the first set that's those keep laughing air-to-air that's the kill hazal two characters left go Ichi up back this is it and the confirm with the long jump em that should be the kill and it looks like we're all tied up to a piece a lot of things he asked six bars no Sparky and now you chunking this damage this is life you won't get back you doesn't apps parking available go eat you looking in complete control to try to close out Evo went through the assist and everything that was crazy the assistant knocking down with Bartok there so that song I couldn't - out stagger pressure jumps away catches the elbow this is huge the game's all tied up sonic boxes down so much the most part to care to the piece five bars between them right now oh man the blocks from Sonic jumps back Auto complements the job back in five - smart that's gonna be big damage he has five floors yeah that's the end of kid Goku here and that's the thing about gooey cheese spin jumping and uh packing a lot and really using that to throw off some boxes timing catch stuff like that auto call for whipping last character between go Ichi and Evo championship candy takeout sonic boxes Kid Buu box reset the challenge going she was ready for it he brings them up this is it drop up keep it simple there it is go Ichi your Dragon Ball IVA Japeth after overcoming head injury he's of their defeating Sonic Fox victory here I'm a winner sign right that this has been eluding him for so long last year he reset the bracket sonic box plunged it out GUI chief somehow just won his very first championship for this game after being so dominant for so long he is your Evo Dragonball Fighters champion and damn he deserves it go EG cook grand final was an incredible comeback from a 2o deficit and end of the day as the best Dragonball Fighters player in the world the wind move go Ichi two-tier but sonic fox wasn't off sulking with their head down they stood next to go Ichi the person who just defeated them twice in front of the entire world and raised up his hand he wasn't just a champion he wasn't just a rival he was a friend looking back at every single one of their sets either was mad when they lost to the other GU Ichi and Sonic Fox transcended the rivalry within the game and became brothers in arms' perhaps fittingly they paralleled the characters from the very anime that Dragonball Fighters is based on whenever Goku defeated an opponent he tried to befriend them and maybe without realizing it Sonic Fox and go eat she did the same thing they came from two completely different scenes to different countries spoke two different languages but they shared Dragonball they shared a drive to improve themselves and each other they shared a love of fighting games now they share a mutual respect a drive to face off again and again to prove their skill to the other thanks for watching if you want more content like this hit the sub button and ring that notification bell for unique bite-sized videos you will find anywhere else hit
