Despite his prior comments, SonicFox seemed ecstatic during his post-match interview, saying, "I put in a lot of work with Joker over the last couple of months, and I'm so happy to show people that the character isn't as bad as he seems." When asked if he had any shoutouts, SonicFox changed the subject to bring up Rewind's dad, who was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer a month and a half before his Evo 2018 win and went into surgery just before he left for the Injustice 2 Pro Series. In order to help out with what must be astronomical expenses, SonicFox said he would be donating $10,000 of his winnings to Rewind's family. "I don't do this for the money," he added, "[Rewind] is one of my good friends, one of my training partners, and I'm so very happy to have shared the stage with him."

A lot of people are asking, SonicFox is NOT in the same category as Ninja (Content Creator Nominee) for the Game Awards. He's in the best e-Sports Player category.

SonicFox is a good dude. His performance in various games is also incredible.

SonicFox is the man. I find him really inspiring. It's like watching Michael Jordan play when he was at his peak.

one of those rare situations where you can hate the game and not the player

Part of me says good, part of me thinks this is some real next level trolling by him, just completely dunking on a guy by beating him and then giving him a consolation prize
Regardless, Sonicfox is a national treasure except when you follow him on twitter and end up with Furry porn appearing on your timeline in the "your friends liked this" section

Rewind is one of his best friends and is his training partner for Injustice 2, so it wasn't trolling. He legitimately meant good by his actions lol.

Good of him. Other than his skill in fighting games, dude seems to be a cool guy.

Sonic has always been a good guy. We're very fortunate that if we had to have a player this dominate it's him as our champion.

That's pretty cool, sounds like a good dude. He always seems like a really interesting player from the perspective of someone who just catches periphery fighting game news.

There's a good argument that SonicFox is the best player in the FGC at the moment. considering his proficiency in multiple fighting games. Certainly in the high tiers at minimum.

I'd be completely OK with SonicFox being the current face of the FGC, he's shown he's talented at various FGs, he's young, and he's a great sport plus his personality also helps a lot. He's a fine man in my book. Dude deserves all the respect he gets, he's more than earned it.

Wow, a gamer not being a terrible human being for once!

Unrelated, but I wish my friends liked Injustice :( I don't have anyone to practice with.

I watched few of his interviews before and he seems like a very humble and funny guy.
We need more ppl like him on the esports scene.

The FGC needs more people like SonicFox.

Hell, all gaming in general needs more people like SonicFox.

I don't think Joker ever became "good" either, was just a testament to how good SonicFox is, also good on him for donating that money, shame that he got cut off because of TV time during his speech.

Also, obligatory

It's... nice... to read about a popular gamer and them making the headlines for their good deeds rather than their toxic behavior.

Props to Sonicfox, both for the win and for being a stand-up dude.

Pretty well as it turns out. I believe he hit top 8 at a few majors a couple years back, and with Fang of all characters. I have no doubt he'd dominate if he focused on it, but I don't think he cared much for 5.

Anyways, nothing but respect for the guy. An absolute monster at every game he touches and a great heart to boot.

SonicFox is the man. (Furry?)

FGC needed a competitor like him, and his lead by example attitude is what makes him the best right now.
