Soulcalibur VI ▷ SEA Major 2018 ▷ SonicFox vs Shen Yuan ▷ Grand Final

SonicFox (Ivy) vs Shen Yuan (Mitsurugi) in the Soulcalibur VI SEA Major 2018 grand final. SonicFox controls space with Ivy's whip pressure and ring positioning, forcing Shen Yuan to approach carefully through the mid-range. The match shows Ivy's stance mixups — particularly the transitions between her standard and alternate stances — creating ambiguity on block that leads to consistent okizeme advantage. Shen Yuan counters with Mitsurugi's linear poke game and dash-cancel mobility to bypass some of Ivy's range control, but SonicFox's patient neutral management and punishment of whiffed moves eventually seals the set. A showcase of how character-specific spacing constraints define the neutral in Soulcalibur VI.
