This is huge to those of us that saw Punk vs Tokido back in the day. So close and we all knew one day you'd get the top spot.

[@redeyez_entertainment]

I was hoping to get a reaction review to punk vs. Tokido because that was when I knew he was winning the whole thing

[@GalacticFGC]

@@redeyez_entertainmenthe reviewed that set a while ago it’s on his KZbin during sfv days go peep

[@NeoScevenger]

I say both deserved to win seing it went to the very last game but PUNK DESERVED IT MOST due to his consistancy. BIGBIRD just recently started to PEAK but PUNK has been peaking for years collecting trophies and EVO was just a matter of time.

[@d.williams9610]

Stg!! 💯

[@Kp33zzy]

If you really think about most second place finisher to Evo has won 5 years later Tokido 2013-2017 bonchan 2014-2019 punk 2017- 2024 it like a omen or something

You showed a ton of class with the way you treated Big Bird after this set. No huge pop off, rather you patiently waited for someone experiencing incredible disappointment to be ready to say ggs, gave him a hug. Big grats Punk. You definitely earned it.

[@WindxStrife]

That was pure class.

[@manuelito1233]

it hits extra hard for Big Bird, the disappointment on his face was palpable throughout the ceremony, Imagine he won, the Birds would go down as the two that won the first two evo championships, as a partner pairing, to them, i bet it feels like that's as big as the US winning SF at EVO

[@SupSatire]

Punk's got experience being in BB's position.

[@antediluvian99]

Dude, instead of popping off to winning the biggest fighting tournament of year, your first subconscious reaction was to show concern for the opponent's loss. (And Yes, I know Punk and BB are friendly rivals, but still). And you did not forget that you were in a similar situation 7 years ago. I know some ppl are not going to see that as a big deal, but I do. Goddamn, you a scholar and a gentleman, Punk. You are truly the People's Champ and my favorite EVO Champion.

[@imbackbillyandiwantu]

That got me too. It was really touching that before even celebrating his own victory Punk gave BB a hug. Made me tear up a little when I saw it

[@cegosegundo]

Dude made me cry watching live and made me cry again watching this vod. I was so happy he finally got his EVO.

[@schwim69]

It was a brilliant final. The fact that Punk had to take it over Rashid in the hands of Big Bird, who was totally in the zone by the time the reset ticked over, makes it a very impressive achievement indeed. It wouldn't've been the same if it was a wash or another player who just wasn't bringing their world-class A game.

Congratulations, Punk! I was watching Grands with my best friend and his wife when you pulled off that huge win. We're all from Philly, and we may or may not have yelled a bit too loud, and their neighbors came to check on us. Anyway, from one Philly boy to another, you are the goat, and no one deserved that Evo championship more!

@PhillyTJ thanks for the correction. I was suspicious but I haven't heard anyone confirm or deny it until now, lol

@YoJoRockThaBeat Punk is from Philly even if he isn't constantly repping it. Just watch his intro during top 6 of Street Fighter for Evo. It lists him as being from Philadelphia.

@PhillyTJ He doesn't need to be constantly repping Philly to be a Philly rep. He was born and raised here, and that's good enough for me.

You made this event a lifetime memory for me and motivates me to play more SF6 beyond just Terry Bogard being added in (I was the Terry cosplayer with the sword btw) and in general want to play more fighting games even the best I can hope for is winning a set in pools at most the entire even just made me realize how much I love fighting games at a core level.
