Punk has an amazing fighting game career ahead of him. Only 18!

That's the craziest thing. I thought the dude was way older.

 

[Augemitbutter]

damn punk is truly destroyed.

 

[Order]

I feel terrible for Punk, that's really gotta hurt

 

[JTCx]

What an amazing grand finals. Tokido broke DA ALFA.

 

[Zombegoast]

No golden sticks?

 

[Milennia]

Punk is going to blow up next year

 

[Sayad]

Punk is taking it really hard!

 

[NoctisVsStar]

;/

 

[Rickenslacker]

Tokido says he loves SF5, Punk says SF5 is ass. Hopefully Punk learns from the error of his ways and accepts SF5 into his heart and comes back with a vengeance in CapCup.

 

[Coda]

Punk looks too sad!

 

[mrmickfran]

Now I feel bad for cheering for Tokido ((

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

America's gonna get there one of these days. So close.

But Tokido wins this day

 

[HardRojo]

I feel bad for Punk. It must have been great to take EVO at such a young age after basically dominating the whole thing.

 

[Giga Man]

Dammit, Punk, you did great, man! Don't cry! You're making me cry!

 

[Xeteh]

Someone get Seth Killian to the booth to hug James Chen please.

They'll just both start crying.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Is Punk gonna cry?

 

[Robot Pants]

Hahaha james Chen crying is the best
I don't know why it's so funny

 

[Whales]

punk is so sad

;-;

i rooted for tokido and now I feel bad

 

[jett]

Punk's basically the main character of Gundam Seed Destiny who was running through dudes until he faced an old veteran and then got his ass kicked.

Nah, Evo this year was this:

 

[Domstercool]

Is SonicFox still the youngest Evo champ then?

 

[Line_HTX]

Damn, Punk's face fucking hit me like bricks.

 

[Unlucky]

Punk is just at the start of his career. There'll be many more, son.

 

[SDBurton]

man punk looks wrecked

I don't blame him. Going in on that high, getting so close, to lose it all? Fuuuuuck

 

[ramoisdead]

Punk crying his ass off and still looking depressed.

Cheer up, man. Second place...that's still an awesome achievement.

 

[Lulubop]

Oh shit the Punk tears now. This is legit the most emotional of EVOs.

for real, this was incredible

 

[Shin]

Tokido brought it home and deserved win, Punk completely fell apart.
Obligatory: https://youtu.be/Y5_nNqHSAoQ?t=22s

 

[cordy]

James Chen needs to write a book about the love of fighting games.

 

[CrackPebbles]

punk nooooo

 

[Alucrid]

sajam selling it with that maudlin voice

 

[Omnistalgic]

Punk is feeling it...

Yeah man....let it out...Just let it out...

 

[MThanded]

Damn Punk may never be the same.

Real talk you destroyed a bunch of hitters and lost to some guy who was playing before you were born.

Body these fools for years to come and put the USA on your back. We believe in you.

 

[MutFox]

Punk is young, still a long time to play.

 

[enzo_gt]

he was tearing up.

No stream left without tears.

[NEO0MJ]

Army of Akumas coming soon?

 

[SteveO409]

 

[sixteen-bit]

Is SonicFox still the youngest Evo champ then?

Justin won MvC2 at 15

 

[Shadow_Lord]

I hope Punk is able to move on from this experience. He's an amazing player and will go on to do great things in different games

 

[abstract alien]

Go to Japan and take it, Punk! Get that Evo win, Alpha.

 

[marrec]

Someone give Punk a fuckin' hug man

 

[Chie Satonaka]

If Punk can get his mind right, he'll be unstoppable next year.

 

[def sim]

[Instro]

[RedAssedApe]

[Sn4ke_911]

Chen lives and breaths fighting games.

[Dartastic]

Nice quote James. "Evo is like, you hold the L and then spell it backwards" loolololool <3

 

[Mr.Marston]

Gotta love him.

 

[Dragonfly224]

This was so amazing to watch. James got me in tears now. &#128546;

Wonderful matches.
Well deserved Tokido.
Punk, you'll get 'em next year.

 

[Lulubop]

That's pretty good Zhi

 

[I-hate-u]

[Line_HTX]

Oh my God, is that THE BEST Zhi quote ever?
Hold that L and run it back.
