I love how Tokido's 'home' is Snowy Rail Yard, Kiryu Tsukimiya's 'home' is Old Temple, and Bullcat's 'home' is Solar Eclipse. They start to bring some more personality to the game in my opinion.

[@zuu3180]

What about Infiltration, P. champ, Daigo, and J. Wong?

[@r011ing_thunder6]

Brendan mine is the construction

[@bluntedcorleone3628]

This video shows how much the game has evolved over the past few years. The amount of demon flips that went unpunished in this video blew my mind. Great video though, gotta love Tokido's Akuma.

[@protonjones54]

I wouldn't say unpunished, more like, unchecked. It's not like demon flip has negative frames, unless of course some idiot uses the default sweep from it.

[@solidbeaver]

Tokido is just crazy. He's reeeeaaally creative pulling off so much stuff

[@Man_3336]

Watching Akuma bodying ppl is one of the most satisfying things ever

[@dhocke]

he's the one who inspired me to make my akuma better. its not easy to keep up that pace and execution. great video thanks for making it. its like a nice quick reference guide for keeping up the vortex.

[@HiddenBAH]

his combos have such a spectacular flow. most of his kills end with tatsumaki into ex shoryuken. that was some amazing gameplay.

[@SiriHakuoh]

I gladly relinquish 8 minutes out of every day of my life to come here and watch this! xD Such godliness!

[@TheDarkhero60]

Asians make this game super fun to watch

[@TheGustavoAmerico]

They made this game :)

[@ChillDudes69]

[@SteelShroom256]

Needs more Raging Demon.

[@QuangDTran-gb8fw]

+Warlord SteelShroom Right, when opponent got stun and low health he can ez ultimate kill. I guess he save up for another situation

[@Xrez23]

Quang Tran you an absolute shit akuma this fool is trash watch the video again and these guys are also trash most just stand instead of blocking or anything

[@illiteratethug3305]

+Hugo Want some pepper with your salt? Haha, seriously though, Tokido would fuck you up.

[@davidnned]

I rmbr alot of these from watching full matches of Tokido last year, great video!

[@joeysoamazin8]

Thank you for this. Just an excellent displaying showing what can be done if you master Akuma's vortex game.

[@bahaanaldo]

What I love about Tokido finishing rounds is that instead of using his ultra for an easy win on stunned characters, he decides to do some combo practice. Nice.

[@MunkyDrag0n]

Tokido lost so many matches when he was first starting out, but he got better and better and using Akuma. He is now so good that he can pwn Hiropon the Seth god like nothing. Tokido, you are an inspiration to us all!

[@Pedro_Kantor]

Good editing skills Shin, I liked the sliding.

[@RajmanGamingHD]

Well as far as I know, they have played 2 sets...Pikachuakuma won the 1st and Tokido won the 2nd

[@nivzb18]

If i was battling Tokido the last place i want to be is on the ground. I dont think i'd be able to get back up. I love his mix up game, even the great players struggle to guess right. Great compilation vid!!

[@yELoHQ]

The freakin last fight + the BGM during that fight was freakin astonishing.

[@auron570]

thankyou for not doing lame transitions, music and special effects. and also thankyou for not doing a useless 1 minute intro that shows your name. Good compilation of Akuma mixup, thanks for putting this together!

[@Klazyo]

Hes playing is so smooth It is pleasure to see him fighting

[@TheMajestikOne]

Great video! I really enjoyed watching this.

[@Kobiyachi_]

so glad you beat sagat at the end. amazing

[@omanah]

I think I can translate, I read derp. "Your is dope bro. I'm an Akuma fan and I'm recently playing with him. Now I'm playing with your tactics and I'm winning so thanks for this vid."

[@GreanDragin]

dude the last one was sick, with the jumping down mk. hit confirm into fierce DP, Tokido is sick with it!

[@trysephiroth007]

This channel is what got me into Street Fighter 4.

[@5TailFox]

His cancel on that fireball is so quick you can barely notice it...Wow..

[@wccira]

Tokidos vortex is unreal. He crosses up with the demon flip kick so well, no one can block that unless they know for certain its coming.

[@123TauruZ321]

Haishi toshini! Means "Feel the humiliation of your defeat!"

[@KeitaroHirochi]

Gouki may have a grand old time putting his godlike pressure, he's also real fragile and when you make a wrong guess, you're sure to pay dearly for it. When you make two, at this level, well... that gives us this.

[@XNDL44]

A best of Tokido series and not a single Raging Demon.

[@Pabruzzese99]

" No super fancy transitions, no music, no special effects...Just the goods. :-) " Translation: I couldn't be bothered editing... Just Kidding Shin, we love your videos! thanks for making work tolerable!

[@Paltheos]

I can't believe I never noticed this before. In the second match against ACE at 6:29, Tokido connects st. roundhouse from cr. strong. There's no way that's possible against anything except counter hit. *And* he finishes the combo. Sick.

[@EnterCoolNickname]

lol Tokido probably has the best nickname outta everyone in the fgc. The beast is a close second.

[@0ShinAkuma0]

It can be either light punch or medium punch. The cr. light punch is a little easier to connect for me, but the range isn't as far as the cr. medium punch. The farthest range (hitbox) after a standing Hard Kick is the cr.light kick, but it's harder to connect than both cr.mp and cr.lp, so you gotta pick your spots! And thanks man, your one of the original viewers of this channel, so I try my best to reply even though I don't upload anymore. :)

[@0ShinAkuma0]

@EnvitoScotsman ... ha ha, if you're an akuma mainer, this vid isn't boring, it's pretty helpful to helping your vortex game...and besides, i didn't title it "tokido's best comebacks" just a best of vid, and what tokido is best at, is the vortex game. :-)

[@Garudanime]

awsome compilations! please do one for Sako cammy and Acqua or Iyo ibuki too

[@zambazzar]

Nice :) The comeback against Sagat was epic,the vortex strategies shown here definitely can help my akuma wake-up game =) thanks for uploading ShinAkuma! :-D

[@simplelife88393]

@Nalkjn2 Thats the demon flip mixup. He can do a number of things and you basically have no choice but to guess. He can do a kick to the front of you, to the back. He can do neither and simply throw you. He could not do anything, land and then go straight into crouching jab attack. It's probably the most vicious vortex in the game.

[@UKAndrewL]

just watching Tokido's Battle points increase so much after each win :P

[@gamezob]

I just realized how dangerous and overpowered Gouki's vortex was.

[@Raiden3651]

About time he got one of these. He plays BBCS, SSF4, & T6 at tourney level. Fucking inspiring.

[@GreeneHouseProductions]

@Tungchu92 its apart of his demon flip options.. to demon flip you input forward, down, forward, plus a kick button..(shoryuken motion with kicks..) while akuma is in the air... if you press any punch he will demon plam, if you press any kick he will dive kick... and if you press throw he will throw the opponent.. (it cant be techd)

[@AgelessObsession]

6:29 - He managed to see the counterhit c.MP and reacted fast enough to combo into roundhouse. Godly reflexes.

[@0ShinAkuma0]

@solidbeaver .... because a sweep enables you to work the vortex...you can't quick get up from a sweep, so you're able to continue your mix-ups on the opponent that is waking up for more damage over all...as you can see, tokido is confident enough that he skips guaranteed damage like a fancier longer combo so he can continue to apply the vortex for more simple combos which equals more damage overall...only time i see tokido dp after lk tatsu is when the dp damage will win the round for him.

[@OlympicGaming]

and well worth it too. I was seeing your page and noticed that a lot of things that are being done now you did WAY before. you're truly a legend bro. I just wished you would've continued to upload :(

[@rflex23]

tokido needs to upload replays to renew my faith in you the latest ones i saw were ones of him getting his ass kicked

[@Carefaceeeee]

More compilations of top-players pls :D And also,im really grateful for all your effort and uploads! For me as an oldschool q3 player and a ssf4 noob this is so great ,thx again :D

[@mxtra22]

Tokido is an animal. He gets that knockdown and its a wrap

[@ReconHunter101]

This man has one of the scariest vortexes I've ever seen.

[@yeaosh]

Truly inspirational and shinakuma204 was my favorite originally, but I realized how skilled Tokido really was once again.

[@joeysoamazin8]

At 3:10 he plays the Guile player Kyotojin. He knocks him down one time with a sweep, and then proceeds to not allow him back up. Just absolutely ridiculous mix up game. I've always said that Tokido, was the reason I decided to play Akuma, and this video shows why.

[@mimickme]

@iBringHurTz It's a untechable knockdown, its basically cr hk around the same timing as you would pull off the DP, theres not too much of a window to do it and sometimes tokido does miss it. If you have turbo set it on HK and just hold it after a light tatsu to get a feel for the timing of it.

[@JanembaJanemba]

this got featured on iplaywinner. nice job man, top notch video :D

[@meu02136]

It's interesting to watch his knowledge of stun. The first two round were as good as you can possibly play with Akuma, maximized every stun combo, read the jump back, the wake-up hurricane kick. It's not a brainless, online autopilot. It's a well-oiled tank on autopilot.

[@paarahful]

Great fucking match to finish up the sheer rampage that was released throughout the video.

[@Vafler86]

This clip is the holy grail for all the Akuma/Gouki players world wide.

[@0ShinAkuma0]

@QwietStorm No, not yet, I have thought of doing a Best of video for lsy9983, but i'm just not sure if Bison gameplay really makes for a good highlight video, ha ha, but if I do make one, i'll make it for lsy9983 or a compilation of Bison players like you said, Kim1234, AOI MOMO, HARITSUKA AN, lsy9983, FunkySinger, etc.

[@monkeyphang]

No, and I never said the attacks weren't blockable. The fact of the matter is if you are having trouble blocking the right way for the attack then parrying isn't going to help you as you have to guess the right direction to press to parry the attack. Please think before you reply.

[@2XGodxSpeedXd]

great video and thanks you for putting in all the work to make this! I'm sure it took a while. It is much appreciated and keep um coming

[@kibbywitz]

Name one time tokido has had more than half his health taken.

[@KeitaroHirochi]

And I didn't mention his opponent is a C.Viper. That chick has crazy combo stuff that can really put the hurtz on any mistake.

[@VanGoHAF]

dude. he's so mad for loosing at the end of that game, that he's never playing him again

[@redxmaverick]

@jvkenshin416 That is the normal forward jump dive kick. You can tell the difference by the sound of demon flip kick and the normal dive kick make when they connect. Demon Flip Dive Kick sounds like you got hit by a heavy attack and the normal dive kick sounds like you get hit by medium attacks.

[@LoyalSol]

@Matsute He doesn't want to play the SSF4 Akuma because he is afraid it will mess up his SF4 Akuma because of the differences between the two. So he is playing Ibuki and Dhalsim in SSF4 till SBO.

[@ragonomics]

The key factor in surving Tokido? DO NOT LET HIM KNOCK YOU DOWN.

[@PChrisGi]

you can crouch block all akumas move after the demon flip so you can just block everything he does and the air grab whiffs on crouching opponents which is why he does regular jump in's with d+mk which looks like the demon flip kick so that's the only thing you have to look out for and block high everything else just block low

[@wccira]

@hohihaho Because most players dont know what is coming. Take that first sagat for example, he tried to uppercut tokidos jump in and it completely whiffed. The most subtle aspect of Tokido's vortex is the impeccable zoning he uses on his opponents. So you they could AA and risk the chance of missing and then take a punish that consumes 1/2-1/3 of their health or just block and take their chances so they can maybe stop the vortex.

[@0ShinAkuma0]

It's a little hard to explain, but I'll try! What I do is press H.K. then a slight slight pause then press M.K. and H.K. at the same time or any two combination of Kick buttons that is easiest for you on the controller. It's almost like a roll of the fingers or a double tap with a minimal pause in between. You'll get the timing with just a little practice. Let me know if it helps! :)

[@stretchypants123]

Holy Crap lol! I thought that whenever they were dizzy, the red letters read: STFU lol! goes to show you how much longer I've been around on the Internet lol!

[@roninIX]

Fireball mindgames (7:44) at the end was the best ending to an awesome vid!

[@bladenight23]

Awww, look at the little troll acting like he knows what he's saying

[@ssjkiego]

i love tokido, his akuma and his sean are beast.

[@Calcos323]

The lack of Raging Demons is disappointing, but this is a wonderful montage of a wonderful player regardless.

[@jjws]

"the murder face" is the best player nickname ever

[@Rotostorm331]

uber playing from Tokido, not a lot of raging demons but when your this good you propbably don't need them as much.

[@d3f1anc3]

Keep it up dude, these compliations are godlike.

[@ClickForOutkast]

@cyborgLIS I read it on Shoryuken com and other websites, and yes my neighbour has a Xbox and I have a PS3, you can notice the differences between the input delays.

[@ThirtyfourEC]

The Best of Tokido.... Arcade edition........ comingsoon

[@coltgad4411]

10 years ago better than me today

[@dinitis]

I remember when this first came out. Damn, time flies!

[@emjay-gaming]

I wish I saw that full match with viper, it showed they had a perfect against tokido one round

[@SoggyHotDoggy]

I feel like this video should have been named "Tokido wants you to have a seat"

[@JDAspect]

Amazing comeback on that last fight!

[@bigdavey99]

best 8 mins of my life, thanks man

[@k2wax]

I'm not a special fan of Gouki but Tokido is trully in my top 3 Steet figther players with Daigo and Nemo. He is just too good

[@FDFreQ]

@dbzkid161 Yup. It also happens after playing fast paced racing games like Initial D or music games like beatmania IIDX. It feels like time slows down when you're actually playing as opposed to when you're watching. Kinda neat in my opinion.

[@XNDL44]

Tokido the phenom. Surprised that there was no raging demon in this video.

[@0ShinAkuma0]

@Redemptionmusicz ... Lol, yup. i've saved tokido's replays since i started watching them on the replay channel when ssf4 was but a month old. ;-)

[@0ShinAkuma0]

Thanks for 400,000 plus views, it means a lot!! Make sure to check out the other "Best of" videos, including 3 "Best of Japanese Ranked Matches" videos, plus the best of ACE・EIRIN (Guile), Playerjun52 (Ken), Bullcat (Gouken), Latif (Viper), Uryo (Sakura) and -R- (Boxer).

[@dapurpman]

@femtau so he can set up his mix up game. srk>redball doesn't do much damage plus the opponent has a better chance of getting back up cause it creates more space. also he likes to save meter for standing fierce>fireball>fadc> standing light tatsu sweep/srk for max dmg.

[@papermarkis]

That Sagat in the end had it in the bag.

[@Adastra14]

last round with sagat was incredible. ballsy man ;)

[@TheJokzer]

Wow amazing especially the last one Those cross-ups and blocks too pro

[@dfw0jay]

Nice compilation man!

[@caseyj789456]

great compilation ! :D thanks !

[@kongqianfu]

He's saying that Akuma's cross-ups would still work against the parry mechanic, since the victim would still have to guess which way to parry. Also I'm sure Tokido would mix up his play style if parry was in this game...

[@0ShinAkuma0]

@HakaizeXLilith ... what do you mean? upload it as your own video, or will it be my video on nico nico?? i mean, i don't mind, but i put a lot of time into this one...so go ahead, but please put the link to my channel or the link to this video.

[@atlame]

@Skullomonkey With sweep, you add more stun to the combo, and the vortex can go on. Thats why sweep > shoryu after the light tatsu. But It can't be done with every caracter (I think it's impossible with rufus..) Also, the timing is pretty strict, u'll have to plink the sweep..

[@ItzMiike]

@Nalkjn2 i dont know the exact name of the move but its a cross up. theyre not sure whether they have to block their front side or back side or whether he's even going to throw them. it is blockable but its like a guessing game to determine where.

[@johnnyboi1318]

Years after.. i see so many people that have never passed the 4k PP+ online...

[@Sirvalorsax]

A truly awesome spectacle of Akumadom! But..............why no Raging Demon?!?!?!?!
