Evo final 2017 tokido v punk was something else but still this shit was insane even till the last second

[@vista1456786]

Not the biggest fan of V but Tokido's EVo 2017 run was probably some of the best Akuma high level play we have ever seen and arguably some of the best competitive street fighter gameplay we have seen too. Daigo's Redbull moment number 38 against problem x was pretty impressive too, probably the 2nd best he has ever done for now ( we all know what number one is change red bull to Evo and subtract 1 from 38 )due to not involving V-trigger, however due to how V works he could block a lot of special moves.

[@blueicydasani4543]

[@jesuschrist1501]

Pointers for those who are fighting Mena and BigBird this EVO Watch out for: down L.p checks. you can't really go all out on mena or big bird cuz they're not afraid doing down L.p checks and especially mena, they'll do dp no problem. Be patient, especially be patient against mena and observe for an opening hit, mena is a baiter type fighting style, you must have strong mental resolve. reference video would be infiltration vs bigbird, infiltration is aggressive but bigbird still find opening being patient mena does a long distance bait, just walk in normally, and then play the neutral game against mena unless you got a solid game plan long distance against mena big bird you have to bait his maressa power hit and then perfect parry or counter it with a footsies check from a distance, don't let her get too close, her power hit think of it like its her fireball, jump over it and ensue combo's.

[@librarygary1618]

19:08 "where was the scaling???" he hits him 4 times from a DI including an OD spartan kick THEN hits the DR so he did 90% of the combo damage before any scaling. This seems obvious watching it back but it's also insanely efficient use of drive gauge from big bird.

[@wiltmarlonelao]

The commentator didn’t mean that the scaling didn’t come into play then. It’s just that Big Bird was so efficient in his play that he drained a huge chunk of MenaRD’s health in such a short amount of time.
