If they go woke and race bait, yeah, theyll be the ESPN of FGC.

That final message is so strangely powerful in its simplicity. "Fighting games are something so great". Not thanking anyone, not saying anything about himself or his opponents or even anything about the community. He's shifting the attention back to the reason everyone was all packed together in a Las Vegas convention center. Whether a pro, audience member, or that special line in between, everyone in that crowd was there out of a passion for fighting games if absolutely nothing else. This is where the emotionless "Murderface" died, in the recognition that after all is said and done, and even after having the trophy he fought so hard for, all he cares about is just how great fighting games are...

Why am I crying? I don't even play street fighter...

Itazan is one of my favorite players. He LOVES every second he competes. And he plays a character that's a real crowd favorite when he gets on a roll. Watching him destroy someone with multiple spinning piledrivers in a row, constantly catching them exactly where he wants them and knowing what they're going to try and do to get out of it, is incredibly satisfying.

This video is...something so great.

Fighting games, in my opinion, have the best entertainment value out of any esport or any regular sport. The emotion, hype, community, and pure skill involved with the sport is something of pure excitement. I have never cheered as loud for baseball, I have never cried over the raw emotional impact for football, I have never jumped out of my seat in awe from a play for basketball, but I have done all these for EVO tournaments. People think that playing video games isn't a sport, but they have never seen an EVO tournament.

As someone who is more of a basketball and football fan than fighting games (tekken is only fighting game I play/watch tourneys) I agree with you somewhat. Its kind d of subjective because everyone is different but the example I'll use is the Cubs. They hadn't won a title in over 100 years. When they finally did win people were crying everywhere. Sports fans get extremely emotional whether it be esports or contact sports just depends on the person

This is the most beautiful moment of EVO history. Tokido’s victory gave the people so much hope. Even when he had lost his chances over and over again, he’d never given up. He learned from his demons and moved on forward. His career goes something like this, “Hope is what makes us strong. It is why we are here. It is what we fight with when all else is lost.”-Pandora ❤️ Because it’s not about who’s the best. It’s about how much hard work and effort of emotion we give and hold onto in the game. That is why we love you Tokido! Messatsu! 🔥

Thank you for doing this one! This was one of the most amazing runs and couldn’t have gone to a more deserving guy. Like you said, 21 top 8s. That’s insane. So when he finally won EVO it was such a heartwarming thing. I want an American to win street fighter at evo as much as the next guy but if Daigo or Tokido are in the grand finals at EVO against any country, they’re my favorites so I’m rooting for them.

Anytime this channel makes any video involving the FGC and it’s amazing stories, I get so hype. This channel also got me to enjoy watching League too :D

You know what, you are far from the only one to feel like that. I am mainly an FGC guy, and for years overlooked the e-sports scene in general. I will have to say that the production value and genuine care that goes into these videos does make me care about e-sports more than I use too (that and the odd fascination with Overwatch's League, which is growing to be something like the NBA/MLB/NHL/etc.).

16:41 , i nearly teared up at that part, made me remember my friends back when we used to be spend hours and hours in the arcades, beautiful days.

Christen Smith It's like an Anime.

Oh man, story time. So I was there for that and it had to be the single most hype FGC moment I was able to be a part of. As my buddy and I were leaving Mandalay and headed back to our room at the Luxor we couldn't stop talking about that final match. We both expected so much out of Punk and to be fair, that grand finals lineup REALLY pushed the East vs West narrative to get everyone excited. We talked about how we couldn't believe Punk could choke so hard and about how it probably felt to him like he let down his country considering all of USA chanting, flags, and the massive crowd. We kinda joked around about punk a little, not in a malicious way, but like "wow that must really suck to be him". We finally get to our elevator and turn around and go figure Punk was literally right behind us the entire time. I've never seen someone look so disappointed in themselves, and I know he heard us talking about him. We stood in the elevator together for the most awkward couple minutes of my life. My buddy and I looked at eachother but decided we couldn't really say anything and he cried in the corner with one of his hypemen. I felt so bad, the dude is really a champ and at that age that kind of pressure is enormous. I really wanted to say something encouraging and I kinda regret not showing some support, I hope he realized this moment wouldn't have meant is much if he weren't already considered a champion. Punk if you're reading this. I'm sorry man, I was going to offer you a drink but if I were in your position I figured I would have rather some random in the elevator not say shit.

This is wonderful.

Fantastic coverage. This was one of the best EVO runs I've ever seen. With one of the 5 Gods finally reaching the peak once more and dethroning Punk for the title, it was mesmerizing to watch The Top 8. And a recommendation for a possible future FGC video. If you haven't seen it, I recommend checking out the 2017 Tekken World Tour Finals, and a player in there by the name of Qudans. For he is, The Mishima God.

Wow that was awesome! Man I would've loved Punk to win. But Tokido winning when framed in this storyline is very nice as well. GG all

Never stop making these videos. These are the best, and I love how your channel covers multiple esport games.

I absolutely love this documentary. You capture so many precious aspects of gaming: the spirit, emotion, suspense, and sheer passion for street fighter. You give us a front seat into one of the most arduous conquests in EVO 2017. We only get a small piece of what it must be like to actually witness it, but I can't imagine how sensational EVO must be in person. Your editing, music, and storytelling make the experience nearly palpable. Thank you

the video is spectacular, well cared for and with the background music well cared for and guessed......very nice and stop

Man i watch this channel alot, the way the narrator goes through the videos is great, and the emphases and hype on things so gooood

I’ve been getting into Tekken, and I enjoy watching SFV. Simply an amazing community, everyone crosses into each other’s games and I can see the competitive fighting spirit. “Fighting game is something so great.” Yes it is Tokido. Yes it is.

io son italiano e seguo l esport oltre a parteciparci, ti ripeto bravo nel lavoro del video e gli effetti sonori realizzati in ogni singola scena.....molto toccante gli ultimi discorsi di Tokido... mentre hai tempi i videogiochi erano solo un passatempo.... adesso è un modo per creare nuovi amici e divertirsi

Wow. Phenomenal story. My favorite player. Great job Tokido, you're the man.

This man is humble... pure talent , made an absolute run back. Crazy Akumo player a legend 👌🏼 well deserved Tokido
