Totally agree. With all due respect, the other players were really the best of the best at the game right now, but I felt that most of the other matches were "blowouts" because of the high degree of execution and movement. Tokido's sets with Shuto, Kakeru, and Mena on the other hand, were very close, with the Murderface's struggle all too palpable. He's clearly not on the same level of aggressive tactics as Angrybird or Punk, with a lot of missed openings to finish some of the matches, but his fortitude and quick judgment calls were just out of this world. I've never been so hyped since the Evo 2017 GF set and Kawano's Evo GF set last year.
@@chinwenduizenwata6763mother of god. when akuma drops, and we know that he is gonna be a force to be reckoned with, you know tokido is gonna own the character and cause an earthquake in the FGC. Can’t wait.
This was argubally the best set of the tournament. So much last minute drama. Kakeru shouldnt be too down on himself. Clearly has a huge future in SF6.
Nah he should be down on himself. Let that fuel him to become a monster. He had the game winning combo and dropped it. This will fuel him to never drop a combo again in tournament.
@@UgandanSniperit really was. Best explanation I heard was Tokido getting counter hit somehow moved his hurtbox to the right where JP's portal tracked him, hence why it missed.
Looks as if the spike tracked to where Ken was standing, but Kakeru reset the combo, or dropped it, not sure. I'm not familiar with JP combo structure, so I can't say what Kakeru's intention was. However, by using the overhead that counter hit, Kakeru knocked Ken's hurtbox downward and the spike missed. Credit to Tokido for the level 1 interrupt, but dang, looks like Kakeru fumbled at a key moment.
I watched the stream back a few days later but I got chills from the crowd reaction, you could just feel the energy. Huge Tokido fan btw so I was on the edge of my seat too, so hype
Tokido is a monster and one of the GOATs. Below are his placement finishes in Street Fighter at EVO. He's as good a bet to make EVO top 8 as any player ever which is insane considering how long he's played and how many more players there are now. Street Fighter 3 2006: 5th-6th 2007: 2nd 2008: 4th Street Fighter 4 - I can't remember why he's not showing up for the early years of SF4, Liquipedia doesn't show him, maybe he was on break? 2009: n/a 2010: n/a 2011: 5th-6th 2012: n/a 2013: 2nd 2014: 33rd-48th 2015: 5th-6th Street Fighter 5 2016: 13th-16th 2017: 1st 2018: 2nd 2019: 49th-64th 2022: 4th Street Fighter 6 2023: 4th
@@TheDynamo94 Yes, obviously the devs did a great job of making all the SA3s awesome. But Ken's being one of the best? Cooler than Honda, Luke, JP, Marisa, Lily, Gief, Ryu, Cammy, Dee Jay, Juri? I think the few characters I didn't list might be on par with Ken. His CA is a bit higher but still doesn't compare to some others like Marisa, Lily, or JP.
In victory and defeat, tokido easily gave us 3 of the hypest sets of sf6. Kind of revitalized my enjoyment of fighting games.

@@SpCheckWell said. :) Tokido is an inspiration and I can't wait to see how he performs later in the game's life.
@superbabybao once Akuma arrives we should all get our affairs in order 😅

Tokido is insane🔥🔥 So hype. Bro pulled an immense comeback
Match of the tournament
He had a bit of spacing to get that execute, Well played with the Level 1, that was hype!

@@Sparda51 Some say it was a game bug that he didn't drop the combo, the game did xd

Proceeds to win ceo
Set of the tournament
Watching that final round the Ken main in me just told me this would end with a Ken level 1 super in a scramble
Is this the best match of Evo? That was crazy.
Epic match up
Bro Kakeru must wanna punch a wall! He got Ken'd!
anyone know why the spike in last kakeru combo hit the wrong direction ? if it hit tokido would lose there

@@muffinmonkeys tokido level 1 was god like at that moment too
@@muffinmonkeysit shouldn’t have been a fumble that spike only whiffs like that on incredibly specific spacings he just got super unlucky
To be honest, Kakeru got greedy
Wow.. A random super to win 🤦🏾♂️
The audience was like 5x louder than what this video shows. This match was incredible.
I couldn't hear the stream because I was too busy popping off
Boring match. Boring audience. Boring UA-cam viewers.
I watched the stream back a few days later but I got chills from the crowd reaction, you could just feel the energy. Huge Tokido fan btw so I was on the edge of my seat too, so hype
Holy Shit, best set of the weekend. This shit was more hype than anything else at EVO.
Two super clutch plays by Tokido, Do or Die.
Hope Kakeru doesn't beat himself up too much. He had amazing matches, and fought really well.
14:00 onwards will forever be known as EVO moment #2023 💪
Everything after 14:09 was so crazy. What a match!
Tokido got that Shonen Plot Armor
Tokido's clutch at 15:35 encapsulates the phase "Triumph or Die!"

I think he was studying and working again for a bit?
Tokido might be _THE_ GOAT of the FGC. He's won in multiple games and has been dominant for ages.
This match will be in the Top 10 SF6 matches of all time in whenever SF7 comes out. That was amazing
Tokido's matches have to be the most exciting to watch. Filled with comebacks and clutch moments. Always fucking hype.
Tokido is a showman through and through
*TOKIDO DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE.* 🔥 🔥 🔥
14:10 absolutely fucking insane he did that. Tokido is the goat
must watch
Seeing Kakeru dropped those final rounds were heartbreaking.
nothing heartbreaking about being part of one of the best sets in FGC history, and undoubtedly the best set in SF6 to date
Another Evo moment?
A week later Kakeru is 1 million dollar richer
This just proves that JP is good enough for tournaments.
This looks more like a final than grand finals and winners finals. Thanks guys for keep the esence of the game!
Seriously. This was a Grand Finals vibe
14:30 sit down AND SHUT UP! Sajam and Yipes like Kobe and Shaq on the mic
진짜 칭찬받아 마땅한 멘탈이네요 ㅎ 이러쿵 저러쿵 글 쓰다가 지웠습니다. 그냥 웃음이 나오는 굉장한 세트였습니다.
Tokido with the unbreakable mental
Tokido gave me two heart attacks.

Instant classic
ベストバウトコンビ
We need 2 Ken to kill Kakeru JP 🤣
Top 6 was really crazy
Man i wanted to see tokido make the miracle run to grands and have the tokido/punk rematch, too bad.
one of the most entertaining fighting game sets in history
Did just tokido baited kakeru's DI?
Spoiler shield
no words for this match
Tokido
Forever
One of the many amazing sets in top 6
実況これ、選手に聞こえてるのすごいな。多分音の感じ、そうだよねこれ。
ルックカケルズフェイス！とか言うなよって感じではあるけどもw
まあこれくらいラフなのも面白いって言う人もいるか。
Best match.
de longe a partida mais emocionante da EVO
JP is NOT exciting to watch, but this match WAS
anyone playing with JP is weak
@@hugevikingthat’s copium bro.
14:33 that face kakeru look worry..i think he feel tokido know a secret to defeat he's jp..
Clutch!
plot armor
" tia 😂😂"
Tokido it's crazy
Men!!!
7:36 JP with some pep in his step
This was crazy as ah mtf 😮
Tokidooo
Algo comment
Kakeru needs a psychologist pronto.
he just won 400k he good
@@toe5576 He needs to pay a psychologist pronto.
13:02
How??
Tokido was psychologically better in the end. I can feel Kakeru nervous probably due to lack of competition experience
That could be true but the drop at the end had nothing to do with him. It was just a random thing where the spike came out wrong.

カケル最後コンボミスか？
最後の設置技が普段は敵追尾してるから当たるはずなんだけど、ときどの位置が絶妙すぎて何故か当たらなかったらしい
Ken lvl 3 is one of the coolest? Sajam more stoned than the average Aris viewer.

Its hype. He is right.
