Only thing that can be said about that is it's good for reinforcing, but this just goes to illustrate the mindset needed for Fighting games that will forever render it niche. :E
I believe in Christ to finally win Marvel at EVO.

He deserves it. Dude is cursed it seems.
None of this is unique to fighting games and the average fighting game player today has several of those non-desirable traits, top players included. Hardly the reason for it being niche.
He got bodied by the Romans at Rumble in Gethsemane 0, that shit was free.

A lot of players can do it, they just choose not to these days. What do you mean by amazing btw? Bopping American talent or being one of the best the game has to offer?
Go1
Fuudo
Nemo
Daigo
Nuki
Many more
Again, it depends on what level they had to prove themselves. Tokido got top 8 at evo for blazblue and tekken, but that was just an all American tournament without the game's best players (korea, japan). Do we rate his performance in those games on the same level as Nuki and Fuudo, who both did the transition from 2d to 3d on a higher level than Tokido? The same goes for all of those players that go from 2d to 3d, SF to anime, etc...

Amazing means being one of the best the game has to offer. So getting top 8 or winning the tournament. Like Chris G in the 2013 Fall Classic. He won SF4 and Marvel and got 2nd place in KoF. Both SF4 and Marvel were stacked that year.

It's less these traits but more that to really take off and become mainstream they would have to somehow teach a mindset that cannot be taught. That all with other circumstances will forever relegate fighting games to niche staus.

Well then I don't think Tokido proved that in both Tekken or Blazblue. The best competition was in Korea and Japan, not Evo. That is why Tokido didn't qualify for Gods Garden that was shortly after Evo, or did damage at SBO for Tekken.
On the other hand, Tokido proved himself in KOF, and Marvel which is super impressive. Maybe I'm being harsh, but then would I consider Eita and Kazunoko's marvel finishes in Australia as impressive knowing that apart from a few players like F Champ, almost every American didn't travel to Shadowloo Showdown?
This time he has no gloves. Radical redesign
Srsly didn't alex and guile have earlier info dumps even if they didn't have trailers?
Guile's was the 18th. So realistically annnnnnnny time now.

balrog implements kicks and HEALING into his repertoire after a sabbatical to Africa and coming across elena's people.
He also dresses like Elena, because that gives him power

elena borrowed the dreads from balrog!

I'd like to say that Tokido's proficiency in Tekken is greatly exaggerated. EVO for Tekken 6:BR should have an asterisk on it. He's never been good at Tekken, he just got really really lucky.

Tokido has been proficient in numerous fighting games across his professional career. He probably has less #1 EVO finishes than Justin Wong but I would still put Tokido above him as overall GOAT.

As a Daigo dickrider, he can hold that Daigo 2003 SBO. Top 3 in 3 different games at a single SBO. Nobody, including Tokido did that.
Hold that shit

his birthday is the day after Mika's?
When is Mika's birthday?

I am not holding anything until Daigo does something outside the 2D fighting genre.
In 2007 Tokido had 4 top 8 finishes in 4 different games. VF5, ST, 3S and CvS2. And there have been multiple times where he has gotten top 8 at EVO in 3 games. No one has done that at EVO.
KoF, SF3, SF4, ST, CvS, BB, Tekken, SFxT... that's a lot of top 8 placements in quite a few different games. Plus Tokido is one of the very few international players to actually win a major tournament in Marvel on US soil.
Was wondering about his T7:FR win against Nobi in that exhibition, was Nobi sandbagging or was Akuma that much broken at the time?!

Lupe has never beaten Tokido, just as an FYI. Conversely, Tokido isn't even worthy of facing Lupe.
When Aris watched it he was like "It's super obvious Nobi is holding back".

Tokido needs to get on Fuudo's level. Not just 2d and 3d, but the gundam genre with gun slinger stratos. Evo can hold that too. Up until recently, SBO > evo for everything, but marvel. Daigo shitted out evo top 2s for breakfast.
Nuki just tweeted out that he is teaming with Daigo in the 2v2 at stunfest.
You gotta go through the grunts before getting a shot at the king
Isn't it great that they are still releasing concept art for a game that came out like SFV, it would be funny if it wasn't sad ;~;
What's wrong with releasing concept art for a game like SFV?!

I always see concept art after a game is released, like this stuff from Dragon's Dogma.
Usually art books with concept art are after the game is released anyways. I really don't see why it would be sad if SF5 is just releasing stuff on their site, especially since they continue to support the game with more stuff down the line, like many other games.

Most likely, a lot of concept is made before the game is released since that's what pre-production mostly is about iirc and a lot of it is unused and doesn't see the light of day. Though since SF5 is still being worked on, I wouldn't be surprised if they are still drawing stuff, it's not uncommon in that case, since a lot of games with continued service are constantly drawing up new things. But I really don't see why it would matter if it was or not.
