Tokido bringing back some semblance of order to this mess

Tokido deserved it. He's a salary-man that's been putting in the work for so long now.

Punk's still young, got plenty of EVOs ahead of him. He'll get his chance again.

 

[Izuna]

Falcons blew it again

 

[Fright Zone]

Deserved win.

Punk couldn't handle the pressure, you could see his hands shaking.

 

[jett]

You know, it was really hard choosing who to root for, but I've been such a huge fan of the MURDERFACE for years, he really deserved an EVO win. Really happy for him, but sad for Punk. He didn't just get outplayed, he just broke down mentally. Maybe in the future he'll build his mental fortitude.

 

[Xeteh]

Tokido was so confident from the very first match in the finals. Holy shit.

Ugh, Gootecks in to ruin it.

 

[RapidCancel]

Holy shit Tokido was on a fucking missing. It was damn amazing. Glad he finally won one.

 

[SteveO409]

ZZZZZZZ NOOOOOOOOO

 

[SolidSnakex]

I feel bad for Punk. Hopefully he's able to get his emotions under control before the Capcom Cup.

 

[Gunslinger]

Punk was seeing stars by the end Tokido was running laps around him.

 

[Usobuko]

I had seen Tokido at #2 so many times even in evo, nice he finally got one.

 

[toastyToast]

Rick Fox is somewhere rubbing his hands

 

[Lingxor]

OLD MAN GAMING!!!

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Punk must be devastated right now.

He's got nothing to be ashamed of, he took down gods to get here.

 

[gngf123]

Punk looked broken after the reset. Only one way it was ever going after that.

 

[enzo_gt]

I'm not a fan of the word deserved, but man, Tokido deserved that. The hustle has been real, and he's always been an incredible performer.

 

[JayEH]

Punk lost the match after winner's finals. In that interview he even said he didn't think he could beat tokido then when he was watching loser's finals he was nervous as fuck.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

My god... people said Karin would be free 3-0?

 

[Krixeus]

PogChamp with the threads PogChamp

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Past gootecks? what timeline is this?

 

[HungOverOnATues]

Tokido is so goddamned good

 

[rec0ded1]

I hope espn and crap stop that USA narrative shit going forward.

 

[mas8705]

US never going to win an EVO.

US has won some EVOs. It just has been a while since it has happened. The wait continues a bit longer.

ESPN presents: Download complete!

Tokido: Speak Japanese please, but I'm so happy!

 

[chrono01]

Seriously, congratulations Tokido. So well deserved.

 

[New002]

Super happy for Tokido and feel super bad for Punk. Dude's only 18 and this has to be hitting extra super hard.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Gootecks rocking the Urien outfit

 

[Rawmee]

Alex trailer when

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Once the set was reset, Punk was on tilt. 3-0 him and it was over.

 

[Dahbomb]

That's that EVO stage pressure that Tokido has been used to but it's Punk first time in.

 

[mrmickfran]

I can't believe these were posted at the same time

 

[MThanded]

Gootecks on the espn mic.

Sellout.

 

[LowRoller]

Tokido deserved this . Punks young I'm sure he'll get a lot more chances.

 

[Kassu]

Holy shit that was great

Everyone was fucking awesome

 

[SephCast]

Did the arena keep the woo chant that my friends and I started going?

#ricflair

 

[thebigmachine]

Yes. Congrats Tokido.

 

[Remapped88]

Sooooooo happy for Tokido! After getting 2nd place in so much tournies, he finally won the big one!!!

 

[Milennia]

Tokido got his next year is america

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Tokido is in the zone. He's the best bet at beating Punk I think. Especially if it's true that he 10-0'd him at one point in time.

I fucking called it. Tokido is a motherfuckign beast

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Stay free forever US.

Am so happy Tokido finally won it.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

To be fair Punk was waiting for a good ass time, Tokido was in a groove.

 

[Frost Walrus]

Hot damn, that was a great Top 8.

 

[WarRock]

USA, get your Marvel trophies and stop trying at SF plz :V

 

[def sim]

The future is going to have to wait a little bit longer. Tokido deserved this EVO win.

 

[jwhit28]

James Chen is so happy and sad at the same time.

 

[plasmawave]

Murdersmile.

 

[Altazor]

Punk got steamrolled by Tokido. Nerves got the better of him, it seems... then again, he's 18 years old, he'll surely get another chance. This will be an invaluable learning experience for him.

Well deserved Tokido!

 

[Augemitbutter]

he just chased him down. utterly deserved.

 

[Jintor]

murderface smilinggggggggggggg
