Love Tokido, the fact he said SF6 is his favorite over last season of SFV because he loves seeing new players and seeing fighting games grow is such a strong answer. No whining about system mechanics or balance or discussing meta, he just loves seeing so many new people enjoying fighting games
Dude, says the person who plays casual games like yourself is going to say that closed minded comment and doesn't know any better. Plus, a game is always going to have new faces and new fans regardless. Sf5 was garbage
I appreciate Tokido but of course he's going to say this. While I don't think he means much by it and of course it's good to hear about new players but that seems to be more of sweeping issue. So many games are focusing almost entirely on appealing to and milking the casual playerbase instead of trying to make actual good games. Ironically, I do think SF6 has had the most success with this gameplay and design wise but then you have the shitstorm of their microtransactions and of course the divide in "Modern" controls but overall not as bad, especially when you compare it to the shitstorm that is games like the new Mortal Kombat and Tekken.
Tokido is something so.... great. honestly though, his English improves and improves every year we see him interact with English speakers, it's awesome to see
These legends shape the fgc Today and I am with you they played during the times where the rewards were 50-100x less compared to Today's Tournaments. Age is catching up I hope they can maintain this passion as much as possible. Tokido use to say in sf4 he practiced 8hours a day😅.😅😅
Tokido is a damn treasure of the FGC. my favorite player since the streetfighter four days. Always has a great attitude, is friendly and inviting, extremely talented, and a showman. To me, he’s the pinnacle of what the FGC is. Thanks for the interview Broski and great job at the Kumite.
@@Asterra2 And it didn't even look too much like Mena was lacking too much in matchup experience. He was abusing a lot of jump-in angles that AKI specifically struggle with because heavy whip moves her forward, and did a lot of empty jump throws because he was expecting the PP anti-air. Broski was just playing incredibly well overall. Such an amazing set.
@@gwen9939 Broski always seems to prefer being the top player of the most technically demanding-and simultaneously solidly bottom tier-characters, right? Oro before this. There's no doubt that being unexpectedly good at the most unpredictable character can take you places. But being bottom tier, especially in the thoroughly imbalanced SF6, is just too big a hurdle. iDom would be the first to agree with this.
Thank you, it's so rare to have interviews of japanese players in english, and Tokido's progress in english is impressive. He seems to be such an awesome person !
I met Tokido years ago during the KOFXIII era (Stunfest tournament), he enjoyed far more playing it than USFIV actually. He's such a nice and passionate dude! We had a blast playing with him.
Tokido's the goat, brilliant player and ferocious but outside the chillest and friendliest of the Japanese legends. I'm so excited to see what he can do with Akuma
I love tokido, he's a chill dude and you can tell he'd be an awesome friend. Also very evident that he's super beloved in the FGC even amongst the best and the greatest
This man is just so unreasonably charming. I think this Broski fella is neat as well, turns out he plays fighting games pretty well on top of being a professional interviewer.
About the Luke nerf: I really felt that one. The whiff punishment on Luke is so much easier and 2MP was always his best pressure tool. I think he is still arguably one of the best characters, but I would say that Cammy is probably very underrated atm because she beats the complete meta (Guile, Luke and JP) and has a good matchup against Chun. Thank you for the video, Tokido is probably my favorite FGC personality, so it is great to see some content of him I can actually understand. XD
Refreshing that Tokido has a similar view towards drive rush that I do. Feels like any time there are posts or videos on interrupting drive rush, they are often met with a "git good" or downvoted and clowned on heavily. Felt like I was going crazy with how few people seem to talk about it lol.
Tokido is a damn treasure of the FGC. my favorite player since the streetfighter four days. Always has a great attitude, is friendly and inviting, extremely talented, and a showman. To me, he’s the pinnacle of what the FGC is.
Your performance at Kumite was one of my favorite SF6 I have watched to date. I was screaming 😂😂 my son and I were watching from our hotel room on vacation. I liked you before but now I aya huge fan. Well done. I cant wait to see you come back.
Tokido's English was decent to begin with, but he has noticably leveled up a lot since sfv released. That's a Todai grad for you. He clearly has good comprehension, and honestly his vocabulary is surprising at times. That indicates a high level of reading ability and understanding of English mechanics. He's just missing that bit of immersion to achieve fluent speech. Tbh, I know a lot of native speakers who wouldn't be any more eloquent in front of crowds and cameras.
Damn, Tokido's english is so good now. I'm American and even I had to focus to understand Broski's accent a few times. Tokido didn't even ask to repeat once.
This man is a sleeping demon, he used yo be known for searching the depths of fighting games to find their cheapest tactics. If he taps in it’s gonna be different
Congratulations to Broski for making the most hype set in Red Bull Kumite, for me Broski was the big winner in this tournament! AKI is cool, Broski is cooler!
It would be cool to see some old moves as extra specials, like cammy's sf4 omega launcher, or ed's air punch thing. Just some stuff to spice up combo routes would be cool.
It's awesome to see a wholesome and interesting Tokido interview with actual well-articulated questions. No disrespect to other people, but I see a lot of just yelling things at pro players and/or asking really weird/wack stuff.
I first remember Tokudo starting to embody the personality of Akuma. I thought he was a mean douchebag. But I saw him photobomb someone’s interview at a SF tournament which surpised me. 😂
I wished you would have asked him what was the reasoning behind sending Bonchan in vs Mena every time in the SF League Finals and not giving himself a shot versus him after Bonchan starting losing.
Dude Tokido is the true presentative of japan when i see him is like seeing the actor Hiroyuki Sanada, they both represent Japanese manhood and values for some reason x'). btw I think Akuma will be Ryu in hyper mode aka more damage and more frame advantage
Tokido is cool
Broski is cool
but A.K.I is cooler
Good comment from a good commenter.
They're cool 😎
We are all cool
you are cool too
Love Tokido, the fact he said SF6 is his favorite over last season of SFV because he loves seeing new players and seeing fighting games grow is such a strong answer. No whining about system mechanics or balance or discussing meta, he just loves seeing so many new people enjoying fighting games
Tokido always rides the meta instead of railing against it.
Sf6 in its first season is far better balanced than sfv ever was. Vtrigg and vskill absolutely fucked the balance over the whole roster

It's what the FGC needs is new players.
The Capybara and the Murderface together in the interview.
Tokido is something so.... great.
honestly though, his English improves and improves every year we see him interact with English speakers, it's awesome to see
I think that the most exciting thing about Akuma will be all the crazy shit Tokido's going to come up with.
And the super Akuma Loyalist from Japan who is just as good as Tokido's Akuma. Check out Naoon.
@@MuhammadAli-xw4yc and lets not forget Mr Takamura aswell.. thats a very good player!
What if Akuma is low tier lol
tokido's sf5 akuma is what got me into SF, i used to watch all his games on yt and try to learn from them
@@ivaerz4977no way , I don't think there's been a single sf game where akuma was low tier , he was always atleast mid tier
Fuckin love Tokido man what a treasure.
Tokido is a delightful guy. Thanks for the interview!
I always loved how tight knit the fighting game community is. Tokido saying he likes SF6 because of all the new players is heartwarming.
@@twisted_ps2743 Yes. But I'm sure that's not the only thing on his mind. You can enjoy a field's growth in more ways than one.

He's still my favorite FG player as well. 🍺 Id argue he's the goat because of how he approaches all other sub-genres if we going by stats
Brosky, your match against Mena was the most interesting of the tournament. You did awesome!
Pretty much the only one that went to the last match, right? Rewatch it and see how uncomfortable Mena gets as it progresses.
@@Asterra2 And it didn't even look too much like Mena was lacking too much in matchup experience. He was abusing a lot of jump-in angles that AKI specifically struggle with because heavy whip moves her forward, and did a lot of empty jump throws because he was expecting the PP anti-air.

If someone told me 7 years ago Tokido was a soul so gentle I just would not have believed it. Fighting games are a thing so great.
I mean look at his photo bro is staring in your soul
@@Hawaiiitalian He cheks if your soul worth his raging demon
@@alondjeckto then in mine he wont find much
It's so hilarious how such a delightful and pleasant guy is nicknamed "Murder Face." Brings a smile to my heart.
"Cammy is top 1 because she beats my character" That's why he's the goat folks
Based fighting game analysis
Broskiさん、Tokidoさんにインタビューしてくださり、ありがとうございます。
あなたの英語の質問は、日本人でも分かりやすい言葉を選んでいて素晴らしいです。
英語が苦手な私ですが、あなたの質問は聞き取れました。
またTokidoさんも、あなたに話しやすかったでしょう。
Tokidoさんも言っていますが、日本のFGCは SF6になり、SF2以来の活気を取り戻してきています。
世界的に見ればFGCは小さいですが、日本ではDaigoさんとTokidoさんがFGCを支えてくれています。
最後に、私はDuran DuranやDepeche Modeの日本でのコンサートを30年前、見に行きました。
それ以来、あなたの国UK🇬🇧に、私は憧れています。
私はUKに行ったことがないので、いつか行ってみたいです。
I do love how Tokido stepped out of his comfort zone (Japanese language) and he's learning English and it's getting better and better.
Thank you, it's so rare to have interviews of japanese players in english, and Tokido's progress in english is impressive. He seems to be such an awesome person !
What a great guy. Seriously he's one of those people who just oozes charisma. Like you said his english is quite good as well
Love Tokido.
He may be a heel when it comes to games, but such a humble guy IRL.
I met Tokido years ago during the KOFXIII era (Stunfest tournament), he enjoyed far more playing it than USFIV actually.
He's such a nice and passionate dude! We had a blast playing with him.
bro I love tokido so much.
The guy is so genuine, so likeable
My man loves fighting games with such a burning passion
Tokido's the goat, brilliant player and ferocious but outside the chillest and friendliest of the Japanese legends. I'm so excited to see what he can do with Akuma

MVP of the rbk. Best set of the camp. When is your interview?
Thanks Tokido for the interview !
It's really funny to see the perspective on SF6 from Japan, it's really different.
I'm eager to see your Akuma !
Tokido seems like he really really just loves fighting games and wants them to be the best they can be. FGC is awesome
Tokido is a really effective communicator in English, it's great
Tokido seems like a super nice guy
damn his English has gotten really good
He sounds like a nice guy, wish him the best
Love tokido, his english has gotten so good!
Broski pulls out the reverse UNO card on Tokido
His English is gradually getting better, he looks happy to be able to show how he feels about fighting games to more people
Tokido 🔥🔥❤️❤️
why tokido so dam fine....
and he's so polite
Refreshing that Tokido has a similar view towards drive rush that I do. Feels like any time there are posts or videos on interrupting drive rush, they are often met with a "git good" or downvoted and clowned on heavily. Felt like I was going crazy with how few people seem to talk about it lol.
All the pros complain about it, don't listen to intermediates
It's so cool to hear Tokido in a small interview, I hope you do more interviewing in the future!
Thanks for this interview Broski !!!! The questions and the answers was very good Tokido is cool
Tokido is a damn treasure of the FGC. my favorite player since the streetfighter four days. Always has a great attitude, is friendly and inviting, extremely talented, and a showman. To me, he’s the pinnacle of what the FGC is.
Tokido is such a class act. I hope the next generation of fighters looks up to him like I and so many others always have when they're coming up.
Your performance at Kumite was one of my favorite SF6 I have watched to date. I was screaming 😂😂 my son and I were watching from our hotel room on vacation. I liked you before but now I aya huge fan. Well done. I cant wait to see you come back.
What a legend
Cool interview, I understand why I'm afraid of Cammy now :D Also, awesome performance at Kumite Broski. It was a delight to watch.
You can hear Broski's toes curl when he calls Tokido "sensei".
tokido always looks young.
Man when you see Ryusei who is 30+ although looking 17 nothing can chock you
Tokido is one of the coolest guys in the fgc
Tokido seems like a super nice dude! I've only been here since ssfivae
Tokido is the man, love this guy!
Tokido's English was decent to begin with, but he has noticably leveled up a lot since sfv released. That's a Todai grad for you.
He clearly has good comprehension, and honestly his vocabulary is surprising at times. That indicates a high level of reading ability and understanding of English mechanics. He's just missing that bit of immersion to achieve fluent speech.
Tbh, I know a lot of native speakers who wouldn't be any more eloquent in front of crowds and cameras.
He also makes himself better by helping to translate for his fellow Japanese players
Tokido's English is excellent!
Damn, Tokido's english is so good now.
I'm American and even I had to focus to understand Broski's accent a few times. Tokido didn't even ask to repeat once.
Can't wait to try Akuma when he's here. I'm hoping they bring interesting changes to his kit
I hope raging demon becomes fullscreen
Anticipating dr and still losing to it hurts and I'm glad the pros are acknowledging this. Increase the hurtbox capcom pls.
Hey Broski, you have an American fan here! Not just UK!!!!
This was a really cool interview. I've been playing with Akuma since SF Alpha and really looking forward to see how he is in 6.
I now this a very common opinion. But Tokido is really my favorite player / person in the fgc
The fucking goats
You've gain a lot of new fans Broski. Aki is so cool.
to me mena vsd broski was the real finals, congratz man really put aki is cool on the map.
This was so refreshing to hear. Thank you Broski, Thank you Tokido
Most ambitious crossover since Street Fighter x Tekken
Tokido deserves so much respect. What a legend! Both Tokido and Daigo
that smile when akuma was mention was scary low key 🤣
3:35
You were the only person to make menard's run difficult at kumite . You have my respect 🙏
This man is a sleeping demon, he used yo be known for searching the depths of fighting games to find their cheapest tactics. If he taps in it’s gonna be different
He’s just waiting for Akuma
Congratulations to Broski for making the most hype set in Red Bull Kumite, for me Broski was the big winner in this tournament! AKI is cool, Broski is cooler!
It would be cool to see some old moves as extra specials, like cammy's sf4 omega launcher, or ed's air punch thing. Just some stuff to spice up combo routes would be cool.
So humble and so strong, the FGC loves you Tokido
I like broski cause he's self sufficient.
Big Fan of both of you guys. Love from saudi arabia
Man tokidos english is fantastic. Awesome interview! ❤
Woo!!!
Old school right there! Boomers like me root for you! 😂
Akuma, can’t wait for him 🎉
I think tokido is on to something. Cammy and Chun Li feel like theres something more to them that most ppl aren't taking advantage of.
Great interview. And Great set against MENA at Kumite. Was so awesome to hear James Chen yelling AKI IS COOL!!
Good work man
Bro that aki set was unbelievable
This guy a genius...
It's awesome to see a wholesome and interesting Tokido interview with actual well-articulated questions. No disrespect to other people, but I see a lot of just yelling things at pro players and/or asking really weird/wack stuff.
love this, great interview of the goat of fighting games!
We love Tokido💙
Tokido is so awesome.
the interviewer is Amazing .. making Tokido Comfortable ..😊😇😊
That was a cool interview! Thanks for taking the time to do it during your trip.
This is the kind of content I been waiting for
AKI is cool.
Cool guy.
I first remember Tokudo starting to embody the personality of Akuma. I thought he was a mean douchebag. But I saw him photobomb someone’s interview at a SF tournament which surpised me. 😂
Tokido is cool asf
Tokido is cool af
I wished you would have asked him what was the reasoning behind sending Bonchan in vs Mena every time in the SF League Finals and not giving himself a shot versus him after Bonchan starting losing.
Dude Tokido is the true presentative of japan when i see him is like seeing the actor Hiroyuki Sanada, they both represent Japanese manhood and values for some reason x'). btw I think Akuma will be Ryu in hyper mode aka more damage and more frame advantage
Missed opportunity to ask him if he also thinks AKI is bottom 1 like lord Daigod and Nemo.
Thank you for great interview Broski! Always like your play.
Greatest street fighter player of all time
I wish Broski asked about his thoughts on AKI
Thanks , and GG , your fight vs Mena is gorgeous , magnifique combat, BRAVO , PS Tokido is cool to
One of the best FG players ever while remaining super humble.
Can't wait to see him kick some ass with Akuma when he is out.
Your fight vs Mena on the Kumite was the best set of the tournament.
