Sonix is an inspiration for all Smash players, would love to see him back on the pod, very chill person and godlike player with amazing insight on things honestly.
30:00 There's a video by Pink Fresh EXACTLY on this topic. Basically he says "stop overestimating your opponent", keep doing what they keep falling for, keeping punishing them for the same bad options, don't stop reading them, until they actually show they're getting around it. An incredibly useful video to always have in mind.
just listening to sonix talk makes me realize why he is so good. Extremely well versed in the game and giving new insight with overall very profesional notes on the game
Excellent episode guys! I love seeing Sonix talk about the game. His mentality is so fascinating, and his chemistry with everyone was really good. P.S: EE, we gotta get you an atlas my guy X)
You can just tell with how sonix talks about the game that he’s at the tippy top of this game. He’s so articulate with how he talks about the game and so incredibly knowledgeable. Definitely deserves to be where he’s at!
36:00 bro you can tell sonix is focused in and taking what light says as valuable. Sonix probably the most profressional smash pro scary to think he's still improving
Personally, (while his character happens to be very volatile) I think Light is at that stage again where he has to accept where he is at to achieve what he is actually capable of: beating basically anyone. At this moment, he has to face that. As Kola didn’t even have the practice Light normally talks about not having and he immediately made 5th. This podcast has been good for everyone in that way it seems. Again people also need to ACKNOWLEDGE how volatile that character is. Even MVG Japan Fox almost lost to Zelda just a couple days ago.
was lowkey hoping for kola to guest this episode, but was cool seeing sonix, I'm excited to see him face the Jp players at PP8. exciting things are coming!!!
So I looked at Liquipedia to see what tournaments both Zomba and Tweek have shown up to in 2023: Let's Make Big Moves 1/8/23- Tweek 1st, Zomba 17th Genesis 1/22/23- Tweek 7th, Zomba 13th Level Up Expo 2/19/23- Tweek 2nd, Zomba 7th Collision 3/12/23- Tweek 7th, Zomba 9th Battle of BC 5/21/23- Tweek 9th, Zomba 7th Crown the Third 6/4/23- Tweek 5th, Zomba 1st GOML 7/23/23- Tweek 7th, Zomba 4th Smash Factor 7/30/23- Tweek 9th, Zomba 33rd SmashCon 8/13/23- Tweek 9th, Zomba 4th Tera 9/3/23- Tweek 2nd, Zomba 7th Make Moves Miami 10/29/23- Tweek 9th, Zomba 7th Obviously, Zomba has picked it up in the second half of the year but Tweek was absolutely dominant in the first half of the year. Tweek has outplaced Zomba in 7 out of 11 tournaments they both attended in 2023 and they both have won the same amount of majors. I would rank Tweek higher than Zomba for right now but we will see if Port Priority changes things. I will say Zomba attends way more than Tweek and does have a 3-0 record against him while also having great records against other top players. If this keeps up, he can definitely snatch "Best American Player" this year but the competition is very close between the two of them and I haven't even mentioned Light's achievements which are also super close. These next tournaments are going to be super awesome to watch.
Sonix to me is the biggest goat of smash right now because of how insanely well he plays so consistently. Buen trabajo hermanito. And badass episode as always homies!!
Playing well isn’t about your execution on just good days. This is like Kobe showing up and in post game interview saying, “I got drunk the night before.” The drinking story doesn’t need to be shared, you just got out played. Simple story. Also, you can’t say, I normally am very focused because this is a clear example that sometimes you’re not. No excuses. Especially if this is your professional career. On to the next
Maaaaan I’ve heard a bunch of people say Sonix was dope in person and I always believed them since I didn’t have a reason not to… but that dude is AWESOME! Very chill and cool while also being super driven. Love to see it
he's been no.1 pr in dominican repub since 2019 with both sonic and cloud.. and afaik he's still #1 there for 2023 as well. if you're gonna hate at least be accurate
@@legrandliseurtri7495 It is its own region though. With it's own PR, like any other lol. A few more tournament meetings can change that. Sonix and Sparg0 are already very close.
I don't enjoy very much watching him play, but Sonix seems really chill! He definitively is one of the most committed competitors on the scene right now, nothing but respect to him for that 👍🏻 Also can't wait for Port Priority, it's gonna be nuts (I hope Light doesn't need excuses for that one lol)
Sonix is surprisingly humble and willing to accept other people's opinions This attitude absolutely contributes to his current placement and success! Nothing but amazing
When he is practising on stream I've seen people give him advice often and he actually reads it and tries it out if he can. If it's bad advice(which a lot of it is) he will actually explain why and what works better unless focused on something else. Quite a few other players will just tell their chat to shut up and not try to give advice because the chat is trash at game, etc
I will say that while I understand that Sonix didn't play his best in the friendlies vs Acola, Acola certainly didn't play his best either. This guy plays far better when there are real stakes. Also, Acola does have a winning record against KEN's Sonic. So I'm expecting a really close game 5 set if they do end up meeting each other in the tournament, and I don't think we'll see the switch to Aegis from Acola. Something to note is that Acola is seeded to meet Zomba right before top 8...and honestly? I think he has a better shot at beating Acola than Sonix does.
@@rizvan1632 KEN is definitively more than half as good as Sonix. It's same thing with the Maister-Miya debate: just because one has become clearly better doesn't mean the other one is anywhere close to bad. And that's one of the reason why I think Zomba could very well beat Acola(besides the fact that he already did a while ago). Japan has no really good ROB players(sorry sssr). Japan does have some very good Sonic players.
@legrandliseurtri7495 KEN is noticeably worse in every single aspect of the game. When you put all that together saying he isn’t even half as good as Sonix is fair imo. Idk how many of KEN sets you've seen or Sonix's but it's extremely noticeable
@@rizvan1632 KEN got 5th at Smash Con and I would not say that his bracket was free...I'll be charitable and not talk about Sonix's run at the same event; let's just say that was a fluke. He also got 5th at Delfino Maza and while he did choke vs Glutonny, otherwise it went well. That shows that he is a very talented player who can get great results outside of Japan. So yeah, I think that calling him ''half as good'' is absurd. He also has a great Sephiroth secondary which let him win a major last year, something that Sonix can not say. I remember seeing a stream he did with a guy who was a great Sonic main in smash 4, and Sonix used Aegis for a couple of games. He got washed. So, actually, I would say that KEN is the better player overall, Sonix is just a far better Sonic player specifically.
Adaption or not ... lets see if NA can defend NA vs Outsiders at Port. If Sparg0 makes it to finals ... he will defend NA but will Sparg0 make it to the finals is the bigger question.
You should add a picture of Sonix instead of Sonic in the thumbnail, if someone is looking for interviews with Sonix they wouldn’t know it based on the title and TB
I thought there were many like me, but now I realize I'm alone in thinking Spargo/Sonix is boring to watch 😂I was dumbfounded when I went on Twitter and people seemed hyped by this rivalry
Excuse me but Thur has always been the day we upload, they normally do Wed but for whatever reason couldn't this week, we aren't changing our established schedule.
Damm if only Light was as prepared for the tournament as he was prepared with all of those excuses.
Lmao, valid excuses tho, Halloween weekend gets the best of us all sometimes!
Everyone picks on Cosmos, but he seems to be the most grounded person here.
That's what makes it fun. He's humble enough to be in on the joke. If it bothered him, he'd say so.
Cosmos goated. Perfect fit for the smash community imo. Would love to see him pop off and have a killer era
That’s our guy!
There’s a joke in there somewhere about cosmos results in calling him grounded… 💯 he’s fire, great vibes, easy going, keeps it a buck!
That’s why he has to be the most grounded person
I dont like sonic but sonix is a really chill dude and has a really good mentality about the game, massive respect to him
💯 don't like Sonic as a character but Sonix gots good vibes frfr
I felt exactly the same way. When he wins, I feel like I'm gonna be less salty now.
Gotta get Sonix back on the podcast in the future. Bro has such good insight on the game.
Facts
fr
Light has said many times that he prefers no audio. Suddenly after getting washed “i need headphones”
Johns be Johnning.
You can Knock his character, but you can’t talk down on Sonix’s work ethic, because not many people has it.
Sonix is an inspiration for all Smash players, would love to see him back on the pod, very chill person and godlike player with amazing insight on things honestly.
"lights out" INDEED lmfao
Sonics: "i need to get out of my head against spargo because i know how to beat him"
Casmos: "you do?"
That killed me lol

Sonix is such a chill guy
I wish light went to this tournament 🤕
😭
🤐
I was pissed when I saw that light DQed
Sonix vs Spargo has become one of my favorite sets to watch, they’re so disciplined in their gameplay
Excellent episode guys! I love seeing Sonix talk about the game. His mentality is so fascinating, and his chemistry with everyone was really good.
P.S: EE, we gotta get you an atlas my guy X)
Facts all around here! 😂
You can just tell with how sonix talks about the game that he’s at the tippy top of this game. He’s so articulate with how he talks about the game and so incredibly knowledgeable. Definitely deserves to be where he’s at!
This week as been so stacked for Smash, lookinf forward to hearing y'all talk about it. Also W Sonix for being on the podcast.
36:00 bro you can tell sonix is focused in and taking what light says as valuable. Sonix probably the most profressional smash pro scary to think he's still improving
a real future hall of famer in the game

I love watching SHADIC play, I really hope this tournament was the start of greater things for him. It'd be cool if you got him on the podcast!
Good idea!
Always hype for another episode keep it up yall
was lowkey hoping for kola to guest this episode, but was cool seeing sonix, I'm excited to see him face the Jp players at PP8. exciting things are coming!!!
Great episode guys. Really gassing up Port Priority and I myself cannot wait.
So I looked at Liquipedia to see what tournaments both Zomba and Tweek have shown up to in 2023:
Let's Make Big Moves 1/8/23- Tweek 1st, Zomba 17th
Genesis 1/22/23- Tweek 7th, Zomba 13th
Level Up Expo 2/19/23- Tweek 2nd, Zomba 7th
Collision 3/12/23- Tweek 7th, Zomba 9th
Battle of BC 5/21/23- Tweek 9th, Zomba 7th
Crown the Third 6/4/23- Tweek 5th, Zomba 1st
GOML 7/23/23- Tweek 7th, Zomba 4th
Smash Factor 7/30/23- Tweek 9th, Zomba 33rd
SmashCon 8/13/23- Tweek 9th, Zomba 4th
Tera 9/3/23- Tweek 2nd, Zomba 7th
Make Moves Miami 10/29/23- Tweek 9th, Zomba 7th
Obviously, Zomba has picked it up in the second half of the year but Tweek was absolutely dominant in the first
half of the year. Tweek has outplaced Zomba in 7 out of 11 tournaments they both attended in 2023 and they both have won the same amount of majors. I would rank Tweek higher than Zomba for right now but we will see if Port Priority changes things.

great post, good af points
Favorite smash cast by far! Keep up the great work
Sonix? Lets fcking go
Sonix is respectable for the grind, good stuff to him and ee, another banger
Sonix to me is the biggest goat of smash right now because of how insanely well he plays so consistently. Buen trabajo hermanito. And badass episode as always homies!!

On to the next
Dag, this guy said NO JOHNS lmao
Man Sonix this week, and MKleo next week?!? Hell yeah!
Good on Sparg0 for sticking it out against Sonix, but Kola got it on deck. Top 10 comeback incoming.
14:10 - dabuz still top 8 security
18:10 - LEVERS AND PULLERS
Sonix was up a stock but forgot the vibes 😭
Light not 25th 😂
Got y'all with the like and comment 👍
Seeing sonix win GOML renewed my interest in the game again so I can't wait to see him play at Port. It was great to hear from him. 😊
Great podcast guys
Sonix is a great guest, definitely need to get him back sometime!
Maaaaan I’ve heard a bunch of people say Sonix was dope in person and I always believed them since I didn’t have a reason not to… but that dude is AWESOME! Very chill and cool while also being super driven. Love to see it
Can’t wait for MKLEO TO WIN PORT PRIORITY BABYYYYY IM NOT HOPPING OFF MY GOAT JUST YET 💯💯💯
Great Ep. Sonix gained a fan.
Great fucking episode. If only Light was as consistent as this podcast is, he would be unstoppable.
42:33 EE the kids are fighting again 😂
Every week I realize that this podcast is just anti-tweek talks and I live for it
No way EE thought Sonix was from PR , I thought it was scripted LoL
im running a whole show, it happens!
If sonix was able to play acola and miya consistently he would probably be in contention for no. 1
He can't even be number 1 in his own region...Just saying.
he's been no.1 pr in dominican repub since 2019 with both sonic and cloud.. and afaik he's still #1 there for 2023 as well. if you're gonna hate at least be accurate
@@lokks2130 No one counts DR as its own region, it doesn't have enough strong players. I'm saying that Sparg0 is the best player in NA and not Sonix.
@@legrandliseurtri7495 It is its own region though. With it's own PR, like any other lol.
A few more tournament meetings can change that. Sonix and Sparg0 are already very close.
i legit believe playing with japan players can boost anyone further
His character isnt the most fun to watch but seems like such a cool dude, watching sonix playing fast is fun to watch
Nice on crab boy this one got me chuckling
44:00 onwards, hard agree with Light
Love Sonix
I though EE was going to say cosmos technical difficulties was his gameplay 😭😭😭😭 I love you guys
This is news to me he says lmfaoooo
I don't enjoy very much watching him play, but Sonix seems really chill! He definitively is one of the most committed competitors on the scene right now, nothing but respect to him for that 👍🏻
Also can't wait for Port Priority, it's gonna be nuts (I hope Light doesn't need excuses for that one lol)
Didn't know Sonix was chill like that
I’m sure we’ve all said something similar but if Cosmos started stepping up his content he’d stop catching strays
Sonix is surprisingly humble and willing to accept other people's opinions
This attitude absolutely contributes to his current placement and success! Nothing but amazing
When he is practising on stream I've seen people give him advice often and he actually reads it and tries it out if he can. If it's bad advice(which a lot of it is) he will actually explain why and what works better unless focused on something else.
Quite a few other players will just tell their chat to shut up and not try to give advice because the chat is trash at game, etc
watching this in light mode out of spite
Treacherous behavior
you know the vibes
Sonix seems like a cool guy. You guys should bring him on again! 👍
"Either this guy is insanely good or dumb as hell"
LMAO
Dabuz is number 1 in America no doubt
Great to have Sonix on! This man always kills it. The LMMM run was super hype. Grands was all killer.
Can't go wrong with lights out.
Sonix is so underappreciated.
Mmmmmmmmmm, you already know.
52:18 lol Light couldn’t just add Cosmos to that list on adapting players of NA
Sonix, my favorite “Puerto Rican” lmfao
13:47 wait, Light said that Spargo was one of the people scared to fight Shadic, but didn't Spargo 3-0 Shadic in this very tournament? 😂
Later he said that thinks Shadic would have done better in the runback.
Sonix goatttttttt
i know this is not a good match up to spectate but i really wanna see sonix vs miya or sonix vs acola, just to see the outcome.
I need these match ups too, would go crazy
good shit yall
I will say that while I understand that Sonix didn't play his best in the friendlies vs Acola, Acola certainly didn't play his best either. This guy plays far better when there are real stakes.

Interesting take, they’ll be banger sets either way
KEN isn't even half as good as Sonix and he still took a set of Acola
@@rizvan1632 KEN is definitively more than half as good as Sonix. It's same thing with the Maister-Miya debate: just because one has become clearly better doesn't mean the other one is anywhere close to bad.

Love the podcast EE!
the real master of aegis recovery is shuton

If Sparg0 makes it to finals ... he will defend NA but will Sparg0 make it to the finals is the bigger question.
I love SONIX ❤❤❤ brother you're the best 😎
bring sonix back og
If Light was free of all the burdens of life and got to play the game extremely frequently and comfortably, he would no doubt be #1 in the world
Light really pull a Harden
sparg0の威を借る狐🦊
zesty cloud in the thumbnail
when are we getting a Tweek Talks vs Lights Out crew battle?
when Amouranth returns my DMs
Lights the goat but imma need him to say adaptation instead of "adaption"
light should just stop talking and start showing us what’s up
He usually does haha
Pretty sure he’s is the most consistent in na
@@EEvisu na ur right he does but i mean he just loves to talk that ish lol
You should add a picture of Sonix instead of Sonic in the thumbnail, if someone is looking for interviews with Sonix they wouldn’t know it based on the title and TB
Love Sonix but most ppl aren’t search for that lmao, that’s why he’s here, to show off that personality. I might adjust the title tho.
Was told while watching live to watch for 1 min and comment. Now what
now, you leave knowing you did your job!
I agree on the DaBuz take.
asimo flew all the way to the US just to fight acola again in top 64
Bruh if I was a guest on a podcast and they didn't know where I was from I'd be insulted. But bro gotta hold that cuz he needs to build his brand
was just a brain fart lol
I thought there were many like me, but now I realize I'm alone in thinking Spargo/Sonix is boring to watch 😂I was dumbfounded when I went on Twitter and people seemed hyped by this rivalry
I think its awesome
Sonix and Cosmos need more love as players! They're the GOATs and they get too much disrespect! We know Light is the GOAT already.
Credits for the thumbnail illustrations? Or are those AI…
Damn Cosmos got roasted 😢
Sonix vs Sparg0 = Current Meta Tweek vs Leo
No tweek vs Leo way more iconic😅
mang0 wins drunk tho
LOL
Y’all didn’t talk about measuma and sibugeki
idk them niggas
That sucks light just decided to throw away a tournament
ad·ap·ta·tion
Why do you guys upload the exact same day and time tweek talks goes up lol
Excuse me but Thur has always been the day we upload, they normally do Wed but for whatever reason couldn't this week, we aren't changing our established schedule.
