nice guy champ

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Thank god he lost.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Tokido is a monster!

 

[fredrancour]

i know nothing about street fighter but that tokido set was awesome

 

[roflwaffles]

Tokido is so good

 

[Rice-Eater]

Tokido won, BUT WTF WERE YOU THINKING BRO? You had super for the kill. Didn't use it. That could have seriously blown up in his face because Champ is so dangerous.

Oh man, where is my breathalyzer.

 

[HungOverOnATues]

yessss tokido

 

[LowRoller]

Dat fake demon

 

[TheSpoiler]

GOD
DAMN

 

[Fitts]

Dammit... what a match though.

And fuck the haters SFV is some hype ass shit!

 

[Secret Character]

Fake demon set up is so clutch.

 

[RecRoulette]

I'm proud of FChamp though, for all of his nonsense, he made it to top 8 in SFV, something I never thought I would say a few years back.

 

[Dubz]

Amazing game and sportsmanship.

 

[Finaika]

TOKIDO!

Champ is a gentleman.

 

[JAXXX]

did FCHAMP give up at the end...he looked mentally spent...

awesome jobs, gentlemen

 

[BennyBlanco]

Press F for FChamp

 

[trixx]

Damn that was good street fighter set, nice. Both deserved it like snake eyez vs luffy in 2014

 

[Spine_Ripper]

What a set man

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

So live. Tokido dug deep.

 

[bryt]

James chen just lost me.

 

[Interficium]

Fchamp wasn't mentally tough enough to recover from the v-trigger parry.

I wouldn't be either.

 

[HardRojo]

WTF did James Chen just say?

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Hell of a match.

Hats off to them both. My nerves are already shot.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

The evil has been defeated.

By Akuma. The irony.

 

[MAtgS]

FChamp is not the F'ing champ.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

WTF did James Chen just say?

He went full yoda

 

[mrmickfran]

Never been a fan of FChamp but he did good as Dhalsim

 

[Number_6]

I have no idea what James is talking about.

 

[TruSpindash]

Nice set, good stuff Tokido

 

[JayEH]

"one of the most incredible evo matches I've ever seen in my life"

 

[Syntsui]

I can't remember a SFV top 8 starting so strong, EVO redeemed after yesterday's shit show.

 

[dreamlongdead]

Excellent play from FChamp!

But it still wasn't enough to beat Tokido. This is insane.

 

[Neoxon]

SFV just surpassed Tekken 7's viewership on the EVO channel alone (over 157k as of this post).

 

[K.Jack]

did FCHAMP give up at the end...he looked mentally spent...

He was stressing his mind to the breaking point.

Just give him props for getting that far.

 

[Gunslinger]

Tokido won, BUT WTF WERE YOU THINKING BRO? You had super for the kill. Didn't use it. That could have seriously blown up in his face because Champ is so dangerous.

Oh man, where is my breathalyzer.

At an intense situation like this you don't think like you normally would. Its easy for us keyboard warriors to say that "Oh why didnt he do that?" But they are under immense pressure. Most of us would have cracked.

 

[Dahbomb]

Man I really wanted that FChamp pop off...

 

[sleverfunk]

Tokido has a bang. Ultimate Tokido.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Worst idea tech

 

[rec0ded1]

You know fchamp throwing shit and yelling at people off camera

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Is this still supposed to be on ESPN2? DirecTV says something else is on.

 

[Darrenf]

Great match, glad FChamp lost.

 

[Xeteh]

WTF did James Chen just say?

I wouldn't think too hard on it. I love JChen but he says the weirdest most random shit sometimes.

 

[RecRoulette]

did FCHAMP give up at the end...he looked mentally spent...

I don't think he ever bounced back from that parry.

 

[salty_Josh]

Still can't get over the v-reversal parry. Parries just get me so excited. Hoping for Punk vs Tokido in grand finals

 

[Wallach]

man, what a set

 

[mas8705]

Japan 5- USA 2

Well the number is about to go 4-2 after this next round. This has been a hell of a top 8 though for sure. Not sure how to stack it with Tekken 7 or Blazblue, but this has been quite the show thus far.

 

[Ninjimbo]

I poppped off when Tokido won. Great player digging deep.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

That fake demon setup Bruh

Champ played fantastic.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

It's on, just not shown in the guide

 

[itwasTuesday]

everything will be okay.
