Critical Reactions Dominique SonicFox McLean knows what people are saying about him. Hes been hearing it ever since he emerged in explosive fashion in Injustice: Gods Among Us and established himself as the de facto No. 1 player in all games by NetherRealm Studios. Hes the favorite in every Mortal Kombat tournament, an ambassador for fighting games, one of the top earners in prize money from fighting game tournaments, and, most importantly, a winner.After his Community Effort Orlando (CEO) 2016 victory, hes the clear favorite to defend his title at the Evolution Fighting Game Championships (Evo). The 18-year-old already boasts three ESL Mortal Kombat X Pro League championships and two Evo tournament victories (Injustice in 2014 and Mortal Kombat X in 2015), and will only continue to add more hardware to his ever-expanding trophy room.Despite all the success, SonicFox remains humble. He understands that the next player to dethrone him could be an unknown gem waiting to be discovered. SonicFox cites Mark Twains advice for his ability to stay sharp during tournaments instead of resting on his laurels:The best swordsman in the world doesnt need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesnt do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isnt prepared for him; he does the thing he ought not to do; and often it catches the expert out and ends him on the spot.Im very confident in winning Evo. Theres no one opponent I cant beat; Ill beat everyone if I need to, SonicFox said. The competition is getting stronger. You never know how good a player is until they come out. Its very scary because I did lose a lot of matches at ESL to people Ive never seen before.One of those formerly unknown players, Panda Globals Brad Scar Vaughn, is arguably one of the biggest threats to SonicFoxs continued tournament success. He was the runner-up at CEO 2016 after an amazing set and gave SonicFox fits during his latest ESL championship run.After Scar took the advantage during their set, SonicFox returned to his old familiar character, Erron Black, and ran it all the way back. He admitted that Scar was one of the scariest opponents hed ever encountered; in the run up to CEO, he even said that he was afraid to face Scar. However, this ever-versatile kombatant with a ridiculous list of pocket characters remains the star in Mortal Kombat. SonicFoxs latest obsession, the character Alien, may be his trump card and the key to becoming a two-time Mortal Kombat X champion at Evo.Alien has everything a character has plus more, SonicFox said. He has amazing reach, very good 50/50s that can be kept safe, armor attacks that are 50/50s on wakeup, pressure and great anti-airs -- generally everything a character wishes they had.Although SonicFox has also competed and placed highly in Street Fighter V, his goal and current game is still 100 percent Mortal Kombat X. MKX has the most money on the line.I play other games, and I do enjoy playing other games, but right now theres so much for Mortal Kombat X and Im considered the top in the game. I got to get that money, SonicFox said. I plan on playing Injustice 2. I got to try it at E3 and its an amazing game. I was the best in Injustice with Batgirl and I plan on doing the same in the sequel with another character.SonicFox will need to prepare for both experts and unknown gems in order to stay on top and win a third Evo trophy. If he can maintain his dominance, he will prove to the fighting game community and the worldwide audience that theyll need to get used to him, because hes not going anywhere. Adidas Nmd Outlet .

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Getting benched in Thursdays loss to Butler might end up being one of the best things to happen to Matthew Fisher-Davis.The junior guard has played well in the two games since, including a 22 point-effort on Tuesday night in Vanderbilts 83-59 win which gave Tennessee State its first loss of the season.I got sat down against Butler and me and (assistant) coach (Roger) Powell went back to the hotel and probably had a two-and-a-half hour talk about basketball, Fisher-Davis said. And then we started talking about life. . Ever since then Ive had a completely different outlook and Ive been at peace.Fisher-Davis certainly looked peaceful, making 6 of 10 shots from the floor and 8 of 11 from the foul line at Memorial Gym.Tennessee State (6-1), off to its best start since moving to Division I in 1977, fell to 1-36 against Southeastern Conference teams and 0-9 against Vanderbilt (4-3).Vanderbilts Jeff Roberson added 13 points and 7-foot-1 forward-center Luke Kornet and Riley LaChance both scored 12.Freshman Payton Willis looked comfortable in his second game as a starter at point guard.The Commodores went 10 of 23 from 3-point range and have made 25 3-pointers in the last two games.We have some excellent shooters and the hard part is getting them good looks, Commodores coach Bryce Drew said. With Payton, when he can get the ball into the lane that helps us get some looks and then when Luke can collapse the defense and throws it out that gets us some good looks, too.KenDarrius Hamilton led the Tigers with 19 points. Darreon Reddick added 12.We werent us, Hamilton said. That was just the only thing to it. Weve got to get back to Tennessee State.Vanderbilt outrebounded Tennessee State 39-20 and enjoyed a 22-9 advantage in second-chance points.Our biggest fear coming into the game was their size and that was the deciding factor because weve never been outrebounded by 19, which happened tonight, Tigers coach Dana Ford said. Some of that is size and some of it is lack of attentiion to detail and willingness to box out when their shot goes up, which well try to fix starting tomorrow.ddddddddddddTennessee States Delanie Spencer, who came off the bench to score a career-high 18 points in Saturdays win over Reinhardt, was held to six points.TSUs Tahjere McCall (14. 5 ppg) fouled out with eight points and Wayne Martin (14 ppg) scored just five.

He has played shooting guard, his best position, the past two games.When Matts got it going (from 3-point range), guys definitely help off me and other guys a lot so when he gets shots like that he definitely gets other guys open shots, LaChance said of Fisher-Davis, who hit two 3-pointers.UP NEXTTennessee State visits Lipscomb, another Nashville opponent, on Saturday before heading to North Carolina State on Dec. 10.Vanderbilt plays Minnesota (6-1) in Sioux Falls, S.D., on Saturday before returning home to face High Point on Dec. 6.
