SFV: Echo Fox Tokido vs DNG Itabashi Zangief - EVO 2017 Top 8 - CPT2017

[@xavierelvis]

Love em both. Best sfv match. Itabashi leaving with a smile as usual as the true gent that he is

[@Kishimyu]

Props to Itabashi for keeping up Zangief fans hopes up. This match was intense!

[@Mugen0445]

Tokido is smiling! World is coming to an end!!!!

[@suigenris]

5:05 should go down in the history books as one of the sickest reads Tokido's ever done. Best of the night.

[@adude4491]

This is the most entertaining match in the FGC i've ever seen. Congrats to Ita for being such an amazing Zangief.

[@moraesmonksdavid]

Full respect for Itabashi! Great player with a greater spirit.

[@ultimateman1234]

Make no mistake: Itabashi was one 50/50 from winning this set at the end. When he sucked Tokido in, Tokido has to decide to either press a button or block. Itabashi has to decide to continue the combo or go into critical art. Itabashi chose to use CA, Tokido chose to press a button, and the rest is history. Tremendous showing from Itazan at EVO and I was rooting for this guy all the way. He put on a show. Props to Tokido who put in all the work and went through a beastly gauntlet of amazing players to earn his first SF EVO Championship.

[@cog1]

No, the suction was -6 on block. It's 100% punishable, so it's a 0/100 mixup for Itazan. He was hoping Tokido was not paying attention and pressed the button late for at least 3f.

[@jjandre7032]

pjohnston LOL no

[@ianbrune945]

That's absolutely not how that situation works. That spin on block is unsafe, it was just a punish.

[@bunnyfreakz]

Look at that Tokido face, he was like got laid a night before EVO and his girl whisper him " Win me EVO "

[@cheeseynz]

I love Itazan's zangief and truly wanted him to win. He's so smart and has so many good hard reads. But I knew against Punk he wasn't going to win and Tokido had the best chance of taking out the championship. I'm really happy for Tokido too.

[@davidcampuzano6821]

6:10 Phenomenally performed a counter to that!!

[@ashnewby6465]

why do people say Snake Eyez is the best Gief? are they stupid?

[@happyisblue]

i'm a fan of both and would like to see them play each other.

[@56clockwork]

Maybe in sf4.

[@ashnewby6465]

happy cant wait to see that fight. But Snake would lose

[@happyisblue]

ash yeah, i think so too

[@夷猶]

Ya not even close,itabashi is clearly much more better.

[@LegendarSky8]

ITABASHI IS THE REAL GOD OF ZANGIEF HE NEVER PLAY OTHER CHARACTER IN TOURNAMENT BECAUSE HE IS THE GOD OF ZANGIEF!!!!! FULL RESPECT FOR HIM !

[@ijw1951]

This match was really great match!!!! I love both of them, happy to see SF5' gods!!!!!

[@Andrés-b6q]

Niceeee!!! This is epic my friends 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@rinka178gameplay8]

I have great respect for Takamura's akuma, and also for NL's akuma, more like Tokido's will never exist, the strongest akuma I've ever seen!

[@EKEN55]

Awesome set !!!

[@davidcampuzano6821]

5:05 What did we just witness???

[@magicfok]

How come I feel the stage feels like SNK fighting game stage...

[@klauser10]

I really enjoyed this.

[@Larpo]

holy shit that CA was close AF

[@rafaelfrancisco1281]

That SF5 player you have respect: Tokido!

[@Foggen]

I think I have to main Gief now.

[@josegarciarodriguez8113]

Así es .eso fue genial .tokido demostrando todo lo de .eres mejor .daludos

[@tucosalamanca4526]

Itabashi , para mi es mejor

[@jamarr27]

i thought for sure itabashi had this won since zangief has high damage out put

[@jamessummers5936]

Tokido looks insane here!

[@Mr_Moncho30]

1:20 best combreak

[@MinayaIsaac]

This is the only way I can enjoy street fighter

[@adden2242]

My fave Zangief!!

[@davidcampuzano6821]

Capcom should just release characters wearing Gi that has all the champion's names on the back. For akuma players. akuma would have a Gi with Tokido's name on his back

[@jagergerg9771]

Great match.

[@manolotrovador]

Itabashi champion without crown... :'( i love you

[@filipemorais6560]

This was very entertaning. I dont understand the game very well but it seems that Akuma has a better kit and more solutions. The Itabashi guy in this match was the better player.

[@TurboNemesis]

Zangief's options for dealing with fireballs are extremely limited in SF5. His options are basically jump over them, headbutt them away, flex through them, or block None of these options are particularly good. One of the things Itazan was able to utilize was that Tokido at the time wasn't the world's greatest at checking jump-ins. It's hard to say Itazan is the better player because Tokido is absolutely one of the best in the world. The fact is this matchup(and most matchups in sf5, tbh) was an uphill battle for Gief.

[@oscarlobos8941]

Tokido all a genius!!! 😎

[@yaserakuma2346]

Tokido is abeast with akuma and akuma is my fav character is street fighter games

[@goldenface2688]

Hail to the Boof King, Vacuum hands Itazan.

[@BiggDogg-w2m]

WHAT A MATCH, Hats off to both competitors. Tikido pulled it off. It could have went either way. 😊

[@bbebabe3876]

the bear is only bonus round...for akuma

[@denilson0554]

Ese tokido es un kechador de 1era

[@Chosimba_ng]

James Chen needs to chill.. 😂😂😂😂

[@kellyjones3466]

Big Zang!

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

Street Fighter 5 looks cool! If I wanted a copy of Street Fighter 5, it's going to be the Steam PC version because I am a play-online-for-free type of guy. I'm not a fan of paying to play online for a month or a year by using monthly and year pre-paid cards. Online console gaming isn't like what it used to be.

[@GForce10]

Zangief being able to use his air command grab after whiffing on his pile driver and throw is broken. A character should not be rewarded for whiffing an attack.

[@Apollyon_Rev911]

Garen Kurtjian Exactly. How can he still get a damn throw in after already missing a throw attempt? BS.

[@sobosswagner]

That's an OS that Gief has

[@cundionfire]

tokido = asian elon musk?

[@hinzirhizir5359]

why japans use mask

[@r011ing_thunder6]

Third

[@thekindmaster7758]

Tokido can't beat Itabashi without hadouken.

[@shakinahmed8389]

Hate tokido bcz so moody

[@Heroicenemy]
