Smug played out of his mind for this tournament. 👏🏻 nothing but respect for him.
Giving Tokido 5 minutes before your next set to prep is like giving Batman 5 minutes before your next set to prep.
Lets not make excuses. He had a 5 hour break during Kemonochi 2 and still got raped.
w1sdom99 Nobody knows who the fuck that is, stop replying to every comment with that dumbass statement
That was a $150,000 Wake-up EX Shoryuken.
Yeah. I mean. He had at least 3 more rounds to make up for it if it got punished
Smug looks pretty good for someone that just lost. That's the face of someone that's gonna keep getting better.
valcliff b well, 40k for second place is no slouch
He 3-0 reset the reigning world champion and got 40 grand out of it while also showing he's one of the best in the world. No shame in losing to a competitor of Tokido's caliber.
Smugs just kind of a Happy guy. Gets into all sorts of shenanigans with other players.
absolutely
Damn Smug got eSported. I feel that he would of had a better chance if they didn't pause mid set for commercial. Killed his momentum.
please... he was cunt hair away from losing to the beast
w1sdom99 how does that even relate
Andrew Schiavano it doesn't, he's replying to every comment with irrelevant news
"I feel that he would of had a better chance if they didn't pause mid set for commercial" - Yo, Sherlock Holmes, great mystery find. What's next? Are you going to discover that drinking water is healthy?
For those that dont know there was a break for several minutes between sets. With a momentum based character like Balrog I think it hurt Smug as did much of the chat when this was live. Not saying Smug would have won without the break but hopefully they can address that next year like they did by adding double elim for GF winner unlike last year.
Mike Albert thats esports. FGC pro players should be ready for that. if they want better prize money.
I agree as well we argued on this topic with an idiot last night. He said that tokido let amug wint the first set for showmanship.
Magnum Brahms Im okay with that and understand the need for sponsors and commercials. I'm just saying do it intelligently. Double the commercials before GF in case of a reset. Let the players go straight in and put a 3 minute tape delay while they show commercials. Do something.
break my ass. just excuses. tokido let him have the first set
I know you posted this a long time ago, but I don't think I was loss of momentum. I think it was tokido analyzing smug's balrog during the break, and the reason i believe that is because smug went on to win the next to games and then tokido knew smug's weaknesses and had a comeback
P.s. nvm I could've sworen that smug wins 2 more games but apparently not, but I still think that it was mostly tokido analyzing the situation
Smug gets bashed for playing balrog but tokido gets love for using akuma arguably the top 1 or 2 character in the game. I really be questioning peoples logic sometimes. Both played great tho
Lifted Lyfestyle idk how guy gets fucking touched 3 times he is dead
Moss Def because hes that deadly. Gotta reduce his health.
Balrog does huge damage on a single link with not as much skill
Lol exactly. Akuma is stupid.
Because tokido is playing a character he absolutely loves and people can’t help but respect that.
Can someone explain to me why smug is getting so much hate ? He played amazing why are people butthurt that he plays balrog but worship the ground diago and tokido stand on and there both playing guile and akuma the best two fighters in the game it just don’t make no sense.
i have a hard time liking the new generation. they seem to be winning with gimmicks. and they seem disrespectful. obviously smug put in the work tho....
w1sdom99 If you get in a street fight, do you show respect? If someone is free to something in any game and you don't take advantage of it, what are you doing? Every game has gimmicks, you just have to find ways out of them, and almost every game has a mind game
Naji Lacey The neck and the groin, the neck and the groin! Doesn’t matter how big the F’er is they all got a neck and a groin lol 😂
Naji Lacey - I agree somewhat ... but in a real fight there is brain damage and death to worry about ...its a funny thing too because the same thing i hate these players for i love mayweather for 😁 ... i like daigo, tokido, momo and im gonna love bonchan in a few months when sagat comes out. actually i have a feeling Du is a true student of the art and he will probably emerge from this new generation to be the best.
@IMMORTAL_HD Gaming FACTS!
Commercial break gave tokido a powerup
Clemmy Magee honestly I doubt he would've lost too. But giving him 3 extra minutes to process how smug was playing made it a complete wash imo
Only did that for Momentum draining purposes.
Clemmy Magee u say that like smug didn't win 3 games straight
Oh please Kemonomichi 2 had a damn 3 hour break and Daigo still won.
w1sdom99 will you shut the fuck up, nobody even knows who that is.
Close smiug.. Im hoping dudley comes in the next update..
I've been pulling for Tokido ever since Akuma came out and mained him, however, Smug is one of the few top players that accepts invites from his fans and plays them. I fuck with you, Smug. Win or lose. You'll win a big event eventually.
Want to pick up this game just for balrog . Looks satisfying to play
Well played Smug. He even looks like Balrog. But Tokido's skills and ability to adapt is frightening. That was as outrageous a Raging Demon as there has ever been. Respects, Sensei Tokido!
Its not often we see Yolo Tokido.
That was so much fun.
Tokido usually plays very fundementally focused but thats what Smug was prepared for and thats why Smug was winning.
Once Tokido brought in the YOLO and started taking more risks and playing more unpredictable...
Smug didnt know what to do and fot scared cuz when he guessed right it was great but once he guessed wrong Akuma/Tokido would have so much momentum and damage on him and he just couldnt get a read on Tokidos new strategy in the second set.
He got countered and beat.
Beautiful match.
Tokidos got layers and LAYERS of tactics up his sleave!!!!
Tokido and Fujimura is very strong in 2018 SF5.
But. Smug beat Tokido Fujimura Daigo . Smug is very strong too.
Really a commercial break?
excuses
That raging demon...that's definitely a nasty award 🥇💯
If you guys wanna know this was the reset round when they went for a commercial break. 7:45
Tokido is just too good!!! Both played amazing.
Tokido and smug played amazing
smug played so well this entire event...
respect to tokido, but... smug. SMUG!
Damn, that trophy is huge! Tokido is the G.O.A.T.
That’s a Downloaded complete if I ever seen one. He was smiling at the second set he had him
That's easy to do when you can afford to lose 3 games in a row lmao, Smug would've won the first 10 which I think all championship finals should be in tournaments
Call Me Kami they took a break after that first set and that gave tokido time to think smug would’ve won
what fuck are you talking about, you acting like the match wasn't close, its hard to win six matches straight, all tokido had to win was 3, Tokido got destroyed at CEO by a German Akuma player, does that mean Tokido got dowlaoded or did he just lose one set which happens to everyone who plays the game lol thats all I was saying you fucking moron you probably don't even own the game
DeltaProMaster Lauj lol no one is denying the talent of tokido not was I chanting USA I like both players but it’s funny how quick you were to show your ignorance and how little you know about fighting games in general honestly you didn’t even deserve a respond after your childish remarks. Tokido is the best in the world but to say that the break had nothing big to do with his win after getting mopped in the first set is utterly unacceptable
NL king in progress u need a ass whooping in Street Fighter 5 from me saying I don’t know anything bout fighting games😔😔😔😔
Dream Champion, Master and Player with Akuma! ''Tokido''. My God.
I quit SF5 months ago but I came back to see how this match turned out because I love the players. From the looks of the comments and community people are still hating on Balrog?? Dear lord ya’ll are kids I swear lmao
It’s obvious Younger Tokido increased to 60% of his power after the commercial break
Never let someone beat you out of 250,000$ with a wake up DP .....
lilskills721 what does second place pay in this? Has to be something right?
mike long A SFV t shirt lol
Wouldn't you call that a gamble
mike long first place 150k, second 40k. 250k was total prize pool
Terry Bogard 1,000% sure. 3rd got 20,000. 4th got 12,000. 5th and 6th got 5,000. I cant remember after that but you can check it on eventhubs or esports payout
Tokido, definitely my favorite competitor.
To all the people complaining about the break. All esports or sports have a break. It is time given to analyze your opponent or make up game plan or just get a breather. Its like none of you watched or played any sports. Soccer, basketball, tennis ect. Esports like Counter strike, Rainbow 6 siege get breaks during map changes. Even mobas get breaks between games. It is not just for the winner or loser. It is for both side to rethink their strategy and make up game plan. It is giving both the losing side the time to come back and the winner to better plan to execute and maintain their lead. Any player should have their mental game on point. I know momentum is really a thing but this happens in every game or sports so don't see why so much issue here when it is a normal thing and it should be there.
Smug played his ass off.
That fuckin break had to hurt his momentum!
Phil B It's hard to say. He is my favorite US player. What I do find funny is how a lot of United States people root against the US players!
jaywayday84 Call me weird but I just like to see guys play on this high of a level, SF5 is the only game I play. I wish I was as good as these guys on their worse day.
Tokido teasing smug with that 1st set .
Tokido: I'm going to let him win 1st Set then rekt his ass the next lol..
Holy shit why is the comment section so divided? The FGC is suppose to be a community not a division. Both of these guys played their hearts out, the difference is that Tokido was just the better player on this particular day, doesn’t mean that smug can’t beat him.
Matthew Willis i cant understand the tourney format bro. Tokido just need 1 set to win the match and smug needs 2? If toki is in the winners bracket then what bracket is smug? Please enlighten me. Hehe thanks.
The FGC is a bunch of taunt, tea bag spamming trolls. You need help.
Tokido was in winners bracket (did not lose a match through the bracket). Smug came from losers bracket (a bracket consisting of players who lost a set in the tourney). Losing 2 sets eliminates you from the tournament. In Grand finals someone from losers has to win a set to "reset" the bracket. (Must win 2 sets to win match) While the person from winners only needs to win one set. It was fair and makes sense.
R D i see. So thats how it goes. Thanks bro.
Matthew Willis THANK YOU!!!!
Why was there a break midset? That cost smug the tournament.
Ibrahim Dahanni exactly this was really stupid it threw away all the momentum smug had.
That's where the money come from dude. Players should adapt. No excuse.
Someone has to pay the bills for that giant screen
Rifaldo Palaska you sound fucking stupid, do you not understand what momentum is? It's a large part of every fighting game
Thats the point, you put the commercial in the middle, if you put the commercials in the end, nobody will watch, since the fight is already over, and there's nothing to watch.
I cant believe they took a commercial break in the middle of the set, gave tokido that much more time to collect himself and reflect on everything. Total momentum killer, i hope eleague is listening.
This was an epic match actually. These guys are both super good and smugs balrog is really hard to play against.
Smug has been a fav of mine for years, so happy to see him grow stronger and stronger
That EX uppercut at the end. Just do it
Mad props to Smug. One of the greatest players in the world.
Tokido is a great player. Taht Demon finisher was when I realized it was a done deal. Smug palyed amazing sets that day, I really was hoping he would win, always good to see fresh faces taking big tournaments.
This is my two favorite players wow. Smug needed to slow down that pressure from Toki oh well, I'm happy to see Toki going strong still...
Balrog gameplay isnt slow down its raging bull. he played him perfect IMO
Phil B I'm saying he needed to stop allowing all the pressure Toki was doing.
Torbero Ahhh ok misunderstood you, got it
Definitely props to Smug for taking 3 straight games off of Tokido.
Since when do you take a break and kill momentum!? Since when!?
Crazy grand finals, both played very well!
Balrog is not top 5 anymore. Akuma is. If people are hating on Smug they’ve lost their minds.
LMAO! 14:50 Look at this! How many hits did it take for Akuma take 1/4 health from Balrog? How many did it take for Balrog to fcking DEPLETE Akumas health bar??? 😁😁
And how much meter is balrog burning to do it? How much v trigger? How many resets, frame traps, and grab set ups does he have conpared to Balrog. How many reversals?
Justin Nabbie - what does meter matter when your opponent is stunned and down to 1/4 health from 4 hits? 🤣 thats money well spent man.
Not only that akuma can literally combo from anything into anything with vtrigger 1/2 etc Akuma is the God of this game the only characters that come close and still pale in comparison are Guile/Ibuki/Cammy/Menat and Menat only in very capable hands! Yea sure is health is low but that don't mean shit when he has 50/500 set ups to destroy you with. I mean a game can be won off of demon flip set ups alone don't start mixing in all the options then really got a problem!
Quintin Drayton - can and if and maybe. requires the best player in the world to do it though. you might notice no one else is winning with it 🙄
Very good match. One commentator was biased towards smuggles, which was really annoying.
Congratulations to KING TOKIDO👑.
HIGH 5 smug your holding it down win or lose. Good stream great fights always keep up the hard work. You make Balrog look like a monster.
No idea what happened from one set to the other, I was expecting Smug to win after those 3 first games damn! Congratulations to both players, though, well played!
Awsome fight! Love the way smug plays.
Whenever smug uses EX dash straight, he cancels it into V-Skill P. Other than going for a throw or a re-set, are there any other obvious benefits from it? e.g. more damage/stun?
tokido could have won the first set but he wanted more stagetime.
Agree
the fucken break fucked everything up for Smug he had some sick momentum
Wanted Smug to take this!
Commentary is OP. These guys are amazing😁.
Akuma is always a beast character in arguably every SF.
that break took away smugs momentum
excuses...🙄
Imagine getting onto the plane back home with that trophy??!
Why would they allow a break INBETWEEN sets?
Why smugs didn't v reversal in the last set 16:40? I don't get it. I don't play street fighter anymore I just watch smug.
I wouldnt say Tokido let Smug win that first set, he was still trying to beat him but i doubt it was his top priority at the time, he used to time to learn Smug's habits and then made good use of that download. Smug did pretty good as well, its just sad that he's always shy of that big W but Smug's the man. Props to both players, congrats to Tokido on the win.
smug sucks. should have been daigo. daigo makes great adjustments just like tokido so he would have made tokido have to adjust again. that would have been fun to watch. stupid cheap balrog 🙁
You two say/imply that Tokido let Smug win and that Smug sucks. I disagree. Did everyone else in the tournament LET Smug win so he could fight Tokido ? I mean, do you really think there is a conspiracy to let Smug win, or almost win, the title? If so, what's the purpose of this conspiracy? Did Tokido intentionally let Smug come to within one hit of winning to keep things exciting?
Also, Smug sucks?! Does "suck" mean "beats 95% of his opposition" and "regularly reaches top tournament levels" where you come from? That would make sense.
BadlndsBob Wasn't trying to imply that. Let me rephrase then. Tokido used the first set to learn Smug's habits. He was still trying to beat him in the process.
Smug sucks? Really? You're insane. Lol. Didnt Smug beat said daigo to reach Tokido?
w1sdom99 didn't Tokido beat Daigo 3-0 to send him to losers?? Lol
BadlndsBob .... bro .... we have seen this time and time again. infil, punk, mena, nuckledu..... all they did was find a cute little loop to use over and over and over. every character has one. but eventually the great players learn the loop and dismantle it. kudos to smug for finding a cute little rhythm with balrog who like abigail deals absurd amounts of damage on every punishment. but the greats never fall for this horse shit for long....
Tokido was almost speechless lol
beat his nemesis and won the tournament
Dude woke up with a dragon punch to close it out. Wow
love me some akuma action.
TOKIDO FTW !!! yeah boi..
Smug got robbed with the 2 minute stop bs... Tokio was sweating
He is not wrong. Pausing mid match kills the momentum. It gives the person ahead time to think which is true but it gives the person who is behind time to think about what is he doing wrong instead of during the moment. From all we know. If there wasn't one Tokido may have continued to making mistakes losing in the ending. Did the break actually made a difference? No one knows if it did or didn't make any difference but to say pausing mid match did nothing is simply not true
Moogle Sennin Nah man that stopped smugs momentum which is crucial in a grand set breaks never happen in grand finals until just now
What's the pause for again?
retards trying to make excuses. 😁 If Smug was so good he would have won.
NL king in progress - Tokido had a 24hour break at Kemonomichi 2. Made no difference... 😏 Go back to sleep dude.
Tokido's DP timings are pretty much intangible.
anti-air accuracy of Smug was awesome
As a game player anytime the game is pause it throw you all and can change the game completely
....and that's why Tokido is the best. Man, oh man.
He plays Akuma. Easy mode character. Lol
I don't hate Tokido, but I just find the wakeup ex-dp... cheap. That said, I guess Smug should have anticipated
Financially speaking is this Tokido's biggest win or has he won a larger amount at a tournament for another game?
Tokido e Smug jogaram muito, mas Tokido levou essa, é o grande campeão.
Anyone else here because of the 2 min break heard around the FGC?
13:47 look at sumg's reaction. Love this guy man.
Hu Randy that hurt my soul....
Smug vs The demon I always wanted to see this.
Kudos for both of them. 😀
I love tokido but there was no denying Smug's play in the first set. Brother played out of his mind. Break or no break he did his best.
Confession: I only watched this match to find out if SMUG played with controller or fight stick... I'm good... GG SMUG!
Smug is always fun to watch
smug one of my favs tho
Smug . Balrog its amazing feel bad for him it was an amazing match against tokido
The commercial break didn’t help though..
Balrog deserved to lose after he said to Akuma "Master of the Fist? What a joke! You punch like a lightweight at best."
Post more Alex Valle pls, gotta rep for the old heads too bruh
You guys should know that the commercial break just KILL Smug's momentum, and gave time to Tokido to prepare his strategie. That why Smug get owned in the last set. that Commercial break was BS as fuck
I couldn't come down here to the comment section until I watched the entire video cus I knew there would be spoilers lol. My thoughts were 1) bracket resets with the greatest of ease 😂 2) tokido is buying a house in Duff City 3) dam smug got hit by that pressure just like punk at Evo where we couldn't fully focus like in the first set. Oh well what does second place get
mike long second place got 50k. Not too bad.
The Master of the Fist. Just would have been alot quicker if Capcom allowed Shin Akuma to be used instead of dicking around with demon flips that go south. And I certainly would of preferred if 'The Master' Ryu to have made it to the grand final, under the hands of Daigo.
Poor Smug. He got really lucky beating the others and thinking he could win. The difference between Tokido and him is just too big and on top of that Barlog doesn't make things easier.
When you're reading through the comments and see the same guy commentating on every single 1..............
Can someone explain the scoring?
That break straight up killed Smugs momentum.
LOL, Tokido as expressive as ever
apexmoto sfv i guess lol gg
Commercial break lol
Daigo betrayed Dragon Punch´s characters. Well done! Save Tokido, brave victory!
why didn´t they put a translator ? tokido speaks a little English and he doesn´t understand
What’s in that water, cause he took some after every match.
Lots of respect for Smug.
akuma got T-Rex limbs, got no hit box range with normals
Smug get anything for second place?
The day Smug was fucked over...
I'm pissed smug didnt win.
Same, but at least he came 2nd which is no joke
Everything is safe for akuma with every possible mixup, with only slight trade off on health. Balrog can also keep pressing buttons with a touch of death. not impressed at all with the characters they’re using.
I will admit Akuma air fireballs are a little harder to deal with than in USF4, but Balrog is a raging bull. The key is to keep him away from you. I dont see why you arent impressed with the characters. Was won of them supposed to try to win with Ryu that lacks in every department?
