SonicFox, the professional alias of Dominique McLean, is a legendary figure in the Fighting Game Community (FGC) known for their multi-game dominance and their distinctive blue furry persona. The meme status of SonicFox stems from their incredible skill in titles like Mortal Kombat and Dragon Ball FighterZ, combined with their habit of wearing a fursuit head during championship trophy ceremonies. SonicFox became a symbol of peak performance and authenticity after winning Best Esports Player at The Game Awards 2018. Memes featuring SonicFox often focus on their 'mix-up' heavy playstyle, their status as a 'final boss' of fighting games, and their unapologetic representation of the LGBTQ+ and furry communities within professional gaming.
