Fighting Games' Greatest Rivalry
Вставка

- Some rivalries push a game forward. Some rivalries make for the most exciting, incredible matches.
But some rivalries transcend the game.
SonicFox and GO1 are two of the greatest fighting game players of all time. They came from two completely different scenes, two different countries, spoke two different languages, and when they were brought together, they created the greatest rivalry in fighting games.

The fact that Sonicfox was the one who raised GO1's hand puts a smile on my face. A true rival isnt someone you hate, its a person who brings out the best in you and then some, that doesnt get down when losing but instead celebrates with you as you push each other to even greater heights.
thats like some brainyquote there but i agree
Cringe
These guys are so good, you can make an entire anime based on their rivalry alone.

The unstoppable force: SonicFox, with the best offence and mix ever seen.
Vs
The Immovable object: Go1, The man with the unbreakable defense.
I want to see then fight in skullgirls
Offense wins the match, while defense wins you the championship. Old saying in germany.
They don't even play Tekken. There's no way they're the best.
@DeadMemes NeedToStayDead pretty sure he's beaten hookganggod several times
DeadMemes NeedToStayDead hook sucks despite only being dedicated to one game. Pretty sure he should beat sonicfox almost all the time yet he doesn't. So no he's not better.
God this rivalry. It's everything you want out of a story line. These two literally carry an entire franchise on their relationship.
Are you high? Dragon Ball needs to carrying LMAO.

We have to remember SonicFox still won Evo in Mortal combat. This man got to grand finals in 2 different games. Just insane.

@@somnus4003 still a good placing considering the 1k+ participants and in a game he wasn't focusing on
@@nippy1234 ?? what are we talking about right now?? he said sonicfox is insane because won mk11 evo while he took 2nd on dragon ball and then you replied "lol arslan" . it is no contest at all between both of them.
I like these FGC videos, the real reason why I subbed to you guys
Priere FGC has the most personality of all the esports scenes imo, it’s the WWE of esports everyone is so different and unique.
same!
Me 2
Pretty much the same
Same to be honest... I love everything else... but the FGC is really why im here... They are well done and great
That grand finals will forever go in my book as greatest match of all time, no joke. The raw emotion that Goichi experienced said it all. I totally shed a tear of joy for the guy. You could tell he trained all year long for that moment.
It brought me to tears watching that go down too. Such a climax.
such a good set. and sonicfox celebrating Go1 win with him was so wholesome. the epitome of what a rivalry should be
You just have to love sonic foxes kind heartedness and competitiveness. He’s always out there giving it his all and even when he loses he’ll be there to hold your hand up and let you have all the glory. Such a great competitor
Thats true bro not a sore.loser

This is one of my favorite type of rivalries, super heated, super entertaining, no hate just mutual respect
I just gave u the 420 like, no thanks needed
WHO DARES MESS UP THE 420?!?!???
No hate, simply "You're cool, LETS FIGHT"
Feels good, makes me smile
Yeah, but I'm not going to lie. I do also love the toxic af rivalries every now and then hahaha.
And what is most iconic is that SonicFox still won MK11 on Evo.
Pff, he's beyond the reach of anyone in NRS active game. You're talking about the guy who played in tournaments Dr. Cold (the shortest movelist in Inj2 with 4 combos and 4 specials, but the biggest corner combo which is hard to set up) just to not give many opportunities to watch his Red Hood in action.
@@chupasaurus His RedHood is godly tier.
MK11 EVO title was absolutely free for him lmao
chupasaurus Ninja smoked him tho /s
In mk11 sonicfox is huge favorite it doesn't even count.
Yoooo that hug after go1 started crying..... that showcases the best part of their rivalry.
I love the fact that they are just so happy to fight each other, that’s what every rivalry should be like! Pushing each other to your limits exhausted, yet smiling and laughing with pure joy of the rush you get when you put your all into it!
So internet be like
Anime vs. Furries.
How about that.
What about Anime Furries
Why not both?
Epic seven
Why do they have to be mutually exclusive? If you're going to disappoint your parents, go all the way, don't half-ass that shit.
XamiNaxamis 😂💀
That end made me honestly tear up a little. GO1 deserved that Evo win so much.
Ok, I thought I was the only one🤧
Same brotha, same

😭😭😭saaaame
Agreed
The real loser is Fenrittj lol. Dude was basically the warmup for each of their finals matches
imagine beeing a warm up match for gods lmao
He is that one boss you have to beat to measure up your skill in order to see if you have what it takes to defeat the final boss.
The real loser is the guy who beat literally anyone in the world save for two people lol
The eternal Gatekeeper.
Fenritti has been one of the strongest players throughout the entire lifespan of the game. 2nd place at both world tour finals top 4 in both evo's. Put some respect on my boy's name.
"Go1, you're already dead!"
DAT BOI DID NOT ACTUALLY SAY THAT! 🤣
He actually butchered that line...
Close enough lol
He butchered it so hard but thats such a fucking meme move
Great comeback
It's subtitled in the video ("Go1, you're already dead")
im only liking this video because the editor used a apostrophe in the correct spot
Yougothadson unlike your use of “a” instead “an”
Seth Tanner “a” is singular, “an” is multiple. there is only one apostrophe, so its “a”
Yougothadson nah. It’s an because of the vowel sound has nothing to do with singularity or plurality. But now you know and knowing is half the battle!
An apple
Know and now are different things lol. This thread is hilarious
This is definitely my favorite rivalry, Especially since Go1 won evo. Seeing him cry tears of joy afyer winning was amazing. "Fighting games are something so great".
Wait wasn't that Tokkido
@@alejandrorivas4585 yes, I'm just quoting him
That's some god damn sportsmanship. Glad to see it alive and well.
The best thing about this rivalry is that they enjoyed each and every fight. Just like Goku who enjoys a great fight.
DAMN IT I'M SORRY BUT I STILL CAN'T GET OVER THAT GO1 VS LEFFEN MATCH IDK WHY
Ikr that match was SO GOOD
For me this is the best match of dbfz. I can still hear hellpockets
Yup i can still yipes screaming in the background LULW
Right?????
Best match of this entire game!!!
I CANT SEE! I CAN'T SEE!!
I also have the match downloaded, so whenever internet is down i go back and rewatch it :D
I’m so happy you guys did this video, this rivalry is exactly what the FGC stands for in my opinion
yoh, d'you know the song in the background at 0:26
man I love this, you can't hate a wholesome rivalry. they both understand the importance of trashtalk and the theatricism in the showbiz, but they keep it professional and actually respect and acknowledge each other as top players
I cant get over how much of a humble and nice person sonic is, seeing him lift up his opponent and celebrate him right after he just lost speaks volumes to his character

@@gwen6622 People like you that do this genuinely piss me off
@@Shxnkzwrld_ because you're weak
@@gwen6622 He literally goes by He/they so stfu
@@Lilo_- unless things have changed, they go by they/them publicly and only allow he/him for close friends
This is one of my favourite videos from you guys rn. The way you guys present each player makes me want to watch more and more.
Honestly Sonic Fox vs GO1 and Arslan Ash vs Knee are the best rivalries in the FGC right now. It's basically as if Daigo vs Alex Valle never ended.
Also you need to a Smash rivalry video Leffen vs everyone else LULW.
You also need to do a story about Knee if your gonna do on Arslan Ash.
Yo those Ryu mirror matches in SFIV were the bomb back in the day
Those two rivalries are amazing. Then there’s Smash KEKW I love Smash but the players got so much beef LOL
@@kagerou254 yeah Knee and Arslan Ash is grear
Sonicfox vs ninjakilla??
The real one has always been Mago vs Daigo
They respected each other's skill and still be able to maintain a friendship. Much respect to the both players. Definitely will be tuning in more on their matches, especially with each other. What Sonic did at Go1's win at Evo definitely propelled his humanity to the next level.
That back and forth in japanese is easily the nerdiest thing I've ever seen
But in a positive way
It's done in all sports. Trashtalking your rival in the language their home compatriots can understand makes it more a matter of national pride.
Not for go1 lol, that's just his native language.
This is some incredible rivalry I didnt even know that it was this big. God like rivalry and a great video summarising it
Goku VS Jiren?
GO1's defense in their first set at EVO is LEGENDARY btw. God, there is no one who can block in this game for so long, successfully as well.
Yukari MAiG Sonic is Jiren and GO1 is goku. Pure power and aggression vs ungodly reaction, almost like he has (ultra instinct)
@@Tempest_Stream I legit wouldn't be surprised if that's what his rank was in DBFZ.
Idk the Smash community vs age of consent laws seems like a bigger rivalry
Oh god
That's a fucking oof...
LOOL
OHHHHH
LMAO yup
The sportmanship of Sonic Fox really moved me.
This is why I love the FGC. GO1 vs Sonicfox never fails to entertain me. Also their friendly banter is so wholesome. Unlike some people who become super toxic lol.
3:14 there moving at such incredible speeds to shake hands and congragulate that you can't see them with the naked eye. Truly masters of there profession.
This actually made me cry, this is amazing and I thought I would never see something as great as this in games such as Dragon ball fighters. At first it was a strong rivalry, then it turned into something that will always be in their head, their friendship and the games they played against each other.
Sonicfox and GO1 actually did play each other some more after EVO 2018, but it was for exhibition sets in Japan. Sonic actually beat Kazunoko in those sets too, but obviously didn't bring that same level of performance to the World Championship.
Also, let's not forget, while Sonic is an NRS player, he (along with his buddy Dekillsage) was coming to DBFZ as a Skullgirls player. That factors a lot into how he approaches the game. It kinda mirrors GO1 coming from a scene like Melty Blood, which is cool.
Appreciate the use of they/them pro nouns for Sonic Fox. As a nb person myself that makes me feel very good to know y'all are supportive of us 👌🏽
Same, it's extremely comforting!
These are my favorite videos on this channel, the ones about fighting games and the rivalries.
The first video I saw was with Daigo and the parry block and their rivalry.
Awesome content
I love these two for their genuine glee and excitement when the other pops off for their celebration. Ultimate respect
The amount of sportsmanship in these players in incredible. I wish many professional gamers would learn from these two.
I love how their like best friends in these fighting games it’s honestly amazing how two completely different people from 2 different countries can be best friends through gaming
This brings me to tears. Even with language barrier, it's such a friendly competition. They understand each other through the game and emotions. That's what esports is all about. ❤️
I never knew of the rivalry between Go1 and Sonic, but this was amazing to watch.
Goku vs Vegeta in real life.
One of your best videos you've ever made. Not even a fighting game champion but I found myself biting my lip and praying for sonic fox to win. Keep it up!
10:17 look at Sonic Fox's face, he's so happy for Go1. No salt, he's genuinely feeling the moment with him. This is the part of the FGC I live for
The best rivalry in the fgc history, no salt, no rage, pure friendly rivalry across the years. The respect that they have for one another, and the will to surpass their rival are so strong, the bond is unimaginable.
thanks for sharing this awesome vid! got hyped! and felt genuinely happy for both of them! what a blast of history between em
This video brings me to tears - been watching them battle it out since the beginning and the attitude they bring as champions of the scene is really moving
when go1 wins at the end before he embraces sonicfox it almost looks like he says "my friend" as he comes in for the hug. wholesome rivalry. love this vid.
Such a wholesome rivalry. Feels good to see them hugging and praising each other even when they lose.
bro this story is one of the best i felt the raw emotions and friendship between these two dudes. respect
I usually only come to this channel for dota videos.
But this one is so emotional coming from a game where i didn't know esports exist.
Awesome Friendship.
This stuff gives me such a smile to see the respect of two players. And a rivalry is proven not to be a total beef
with the sportsmanship displayed I see no losers here. Only winners and great leaders shown by these two men. GREAT VIDEO!! Both took a W in my eyes.
Rivalry turned into a real friendship. This is a great video! Thanks you
This video made my day. Encompasses so much of what can be great about the FGC. Thanks for this upload!
This video showed me how big fighterz is
Seeing that finals still brings me to tears. Great showmanship.
That comparison to how they mirror the rivalries to the very game that they're playing got some emotions going for me. I grew up watching Dragon ball, so seeing two people love it so much gets the tears going.
This was SUCH a good watch thank you.
You guys are the best eSports channel. Please keep these mini-docs coming. Most of these games I don't even play but it's very interesting!
Wholesome af, wish all communities were like this.
Their rivalry is so wholesome. Love it.

I love the sportsmanship and respect these players show.
Your Vids are awesome to get a peak into other eSports Scenes :D
What an amazing video and documentary of it. Very well done!
And SonicFox, you couldn’t ask for a better rival; someone that draws out and pushes you to be the very best.
this was so goood.. thanks for putting this together.. i dont follow this scene much but i have watched both of them play before this made me feel good.
I like your renders
@@victorn2555
This is the most wholesome thing ever and I love it
Thank you guys for showing so much love to the fighting game community!
You guys are my favorite eSports channel! Great video!!
I literally teared up! Such a good vid
The fighting game videos of your channel are quality content material.
This is awesome content! What a story, such a good rivalry.
This was the best video I’ve seen in years thank you
Very few people in the Gaming communities around the world come across a Rival that pushes you to be the very best and beyond for years.
Sonic v Luigi is damn near perfection of an example
An unstoppable Force meets an immovable object.
Massive respect to both players 💪
I AM SO GLAD HOW YOU ARE RESPECTING SONICFOX'S PRONOUNS
Took me a bit to notice that. I'd had no idea Fox was gender neutral, so props to thescore.
@@ksad96 yeah! They just came out as NB
Especially since he had to re-record several line fairly late into the editing of this project in order to comply. It's the extra effort in these situations that really shows they care about respecting people's gender identity!
Man, great video. Thanks for this.
I remember seeing this request in the comments of one of the previous videos and hoping it came to be so i knew what this was going to be when i clicked the video. I was not disappointed. great job.
This brought me to tears. I want a rivalry like them some day in smite
In the case of these two, I think it's always been about fun. You can't watch this and seriously think there's any animosity between them.
It's like a great final battle.
I think it's just amazing and inspiring to see that these players are rivals but have immense mutual respect and even some kind of friendship
great doc. story telling, and what an awesome rivalry. gaming is the future.
The fact SonicFox wasn't salty about losing to GO1 in 2019, instead held up his hand, is insanely sportsman like, mad respect
This one brought me to tears. The pure joy on sonic fox's face, even in the face of defeat, shows their level of humility and sportsmanship. What a fantastic minidoc, theScore!
These videos are getting me more into E sports and it's greats. Thank you
I'm not into fighting games, but this video, and those players, are just touching! I love it :)
Goddamn! As a mostly fps player I never cared about fighting game scene but damn..... It's like irl fairytail there. Thanks dudes.
i watched this like 30 times and it makes me always cry... 😢
Loved watching them fight each other. They are both outrageously good.
The 2019 EVO Grand Finals was so nuts. Great video
So much love and respect for these guys ❤️☝🏽
This video makes me so confused about why people dislike SonicFox, he seems like such a good guy overall
I like him but i just found out he’s furry... still like him he cool
Int opinion is not the guy who should be hated but hate his fanbase. They're the most toxic fanbase out there.
He's incredible at fighting games, and has a lot of respect for the community and his opponents and i adore that part of him greatly, however his political views and opinions on some matters are a bit out of left field for most including myself, i stand behind his skills and his respect, but not behind his views and opinions, and tho i'm not someone that would harras someone over that, some people for some reason like to do that.
Aku #3333 , sonicfox is annoying
@@stevest8675 Unconstructive criticism is annoying. Be like the commenter before you. :)
Holy Moly. What a insane video with such a great story. I like all the commentary guys, but Dude. You are the best. You feel the story!!!
this video made me happy thank u :)
Daigo and Jwong will NEVER be forgotten.
leave some space for others to be remembered.
This, and Arslan Ash vs Knee from Tekken makes the FGC so hype. They fight, learn from each other and respect each other.
Love the camaraderie between these two competitors. Elite skill, playful banter and all around great sportsmanship from Sonic Fox & Go1.
was never much into fighting games so as a random viewer its cool to see how these opponents respect each other so much
I love this Shoutout too Go1 & Sonic Fox. Good spirit
