Not sure if half of the people in these comments are aware, but Tokido and Bonchan are friends and regular sparring partners. The "trash talk" at the start was all in good fun.
Tokido wanted to hype up the audience and put pressure on his opponent, but looks like he unwittingly lit a raging bonfire within Bon-chan instead. The guy just went ballistic. Forever second no more. The scar has been avenged!
***** Referring to the emotional scar Bon-chan got when Tokido said he was "forever 2nd". Granted, it would have been cool if the grand final had been a canonical match, since Bon-chan does have a pocket Ryu. But he wasn't taking any chances.
Canonical means matching the in-game story/world canon. So if Bon-chan had picked Sagat and Tokido had picked Ryu, that would be canonical since Sagat and Ryu are rivals in the Street Fighter world. If Bon-chan had picked Ryu and Tokido had picked Akuma, that would also be canonical.
oh wow this was one of the best tournaments i've watched so far and it was equally well commented congratulations to the players and the comentators to bring that much hype to us ! ps. please capcom hire these guys to comentate on capcom cup
Pegwy Agreed. These commentators were not good. How were they any different from your average fan boys besides the fact that they talked about 1 frame links every now and then. If they were any good they should've talked about BonChan's change in tactics from his prior match with Tokido to his grand final match. A commentator is supposed to not only hype up the match, but also to enlighten viewers to the more intricate gameplay many may not know (ie. change in tactics, mind games, baits, what possible options selects were used, safe jump set ups, etc). These commentators spent most of their time either squeeling with joy or continuously saying one of the following: "get bodied" or "coward."
Tulifm Weak counter-argument. I completely agree with BadPlaya, but I didn't think they were that bad, they could use some work on their commentating. It started fine, but they were clearly biased towards Bonchan, and nothing is worse than a biased commentator. It slowly devolved into just getting excited and stating the obvious.
Its weird they made it seem like there was a real feud because everyone knows that Bonchan and Tokido are best buds. Tokido is the guy who got bonchan to lose a ton of weight and be more strict in his FGC training along with Daigo coaching Bonchan too.
Wow this tournament was amazing. It had better production value, more spirit and energy than freaking Capcomcup and Evo. I'm now a huge fan of Red Bull Kumite.
Jair Brian De la cruz Zavaleta lol roo je sais pas si l'écrire en vaut vraiment la peine avec ce qu'il c'est passé! ^^ En gros il sait à qui il a affaire...Car Tokido lui a balancer un gros : Je suis Tokido Mec Champion du monde !!! Donc Bonchan un type vraiment humble que j'aime beaucoup! Il reste toujours très sage dans ses propos et c'est ce qui le mène en haut de la liste des meilleurs joueurs du monde.
A lot of people are slagging the commentators. But i have to stick up for them a little.. They are really good players actually if you happen to watch "Wednesday Night Fights" from London, obviously streamed on a Wednesday. I think it's F-Word and i can't mind the other fella, but they are really good players respectively.
So happy for Bonchan, he IS the king. And Tokido shows again why he's the Rick Flair of the FGC. Lots of talk and bravado, and dirtiest player in the game haha. The French really knows how to do a tourney right. That ring, the lighting, ppl in shirt and ties...and the confetti in the end was an excellent touch. Real classy!!
AdlerSchwadron Uh, what? There was very little faffing about during the games and both commentators seemed to know their stuff really well. They constantly kept you updated on what was happening and things that could have been done better in certain situations. On top of that they got hype when the games did, keeping it entertaining as well as informative. Contrary to what you said, it was actually very good commentating.
BieberSucksCock100 They never talked about Bonchan's evolution in his gameplay compared to his last match, something even Spooky knows how to do, they slowly devolved into just hype yelling and stating the obvious, and they were extremely biased towards BonChan, and I don't know about you, but there is nothing worse than a biased commentator. They were trash talking Tokido, which is not the commentators job, especially if it is supposed to be for a somewhat formal event such as this one. Look at Capcom Cup if you want to hear good commentators.
Austin Wagoner I don't think they were actually biased, but rather encouraged by the trash talking at the beginning. Tokido trash talked and got bopped hard. It's funny. They made light of it. Although i'll admit they did dwell on it a little too long. To be fair, if you're looking at capcom cup and talking about how annoying biased commentators are, I don't think I've ever seen worse than seth killian commentating on a daigo match. As for stating the obvious, that's simply not true. The slightly more formal member in this duo mentioned in detail what was happening and what could have been done better by using his knowledge on frame data. I can't recall a time when spooky, ultra david, james chen, or seth killian have provided anything more than what was provided here. Sure it wasn't the best and would I rather be listening to ultrachen? Yeah, but bad commentating? Not even remotely. Still, at least you gave good reasons for why you disliked it. The other guy failed to provide anything credible or valid, even when questioned.
The Intro, the commentary, the match... this was one of the greater segments of USFIV
the commentary was trash... they never stfu
"I'm sorry, your opponent is Tokido"
That was just too good.
Not sure if half of the people in these comments are aware, but Tokido and Bonchan are friends and regular sparring partners. The "trash talk" at the start was all in good fun.
Thats personal and disrespect.
***** You apparently have never had a good friend that is also your rival.
Austin Wagoner He will never be the Ryu that has an Ken.
Tokido wanted to hype up the audience and put pressure on his opponent, but looks like he unwittingly lit a raging bonfire within Bon-chan instead. The guy just went ballistic.
Forever second no more. The scar has been avenged!
But Ryu gave him the scar...
Ryu is my main and I always use Shoryuken against Sagat

Referring to the emotional scar Bon-chan got when Tokido said he was "forever 2nd".
Granted, it would have been cool if the grand final had been a canonical match, since Bon-chan does have a pocket Ryu. But he wasn't taking any chances.
Witty Gamer I didn't know it was about what Tokido said to Bonchan lol. and what does canonical mean? I looked it up but i'm not getting a grip on it
Canonical means matching the in-game story/world canon.
So if Bon-chan had picked Sagat and Tokido had picked Ryu, that would be canonical since Sagat and Ryu are rivals in the Street Fighter world.
If Bon-chan had picked Ryu and Tokido had picked Akuma, that would also be canonical.
Oh okay I get you now 👍
Kumite 2016 was hype, but nothing will ever beat this lol.
Why are the players on the wrong side lol?
TrueUnderDawgGaming This x 1000. Dude I was SOOOO confused
What u doin here
oh wow this was one of the best tournaments i've watched so far and it was equally well commented
congratulations to the players and the comentators to bring that much hype to us !
ps. please capcom hire these guys to comentate on capcom cup
Tulifm How is stating obvious hype?
Pegwy Agreed. These commentators were not good. How were they any different from your average fan boys besides the fact that they talked about 1 frame links every now and then.

eSports is awkward as fuck.
Not weird at all. Its entertainment buddy, tokido and bonchan were in on it too
I'm so conflicted. My favorite Akuma player versus my favorite player. Who do I go for?!
0ShinAkuma0 was rooting 4 tokido to win, he deserves one championship too
0ShinAkuma0 Whoa what 0ShinAkuma0 where the hell have you been I've missed you and your videos come back!
0ShinAkuma0 wtf where you been? i miss you.
I have the same issue when pr balrog plays smug, or daigo lol. heart breakers
i hope sf6 will be much better than the garbage i have experienced for the last 5 years.
Tokido is a beast for saying that, even if he lost at least he brought some fire to the match
popcrnshower Ya, I love good 'classy' trash talk before a match, makes it sooooo much more hype and fun.
+popcrnshower they're real life friends, though. But I do like the WWE-style hype.
15:33 That was insane...
TOKIDO!! lolll
btw peeps, these guys are best mates. watch Topanga Tv, they're like the miek russ and gootegs.
Pls give us back this game
Water > Red Bull
+MatzipanBaer Ironic now that Bonchan is sponsored by Redbull. Lol
Aryan choice
Is it just me, or is the volume really low?
it is. I had my volume up all the way just to hear it
Insanely high level match.
Wow this tournament was amazing. It had better production value, more spirit and energy than freaking Capcomcup and Evo. I'm now a huge fan of Red Bull Kumite.
Congratulations to Bonchan!! Loved the trash talk from Tokido - this is a great rivalry!
What a great tournament, Capcom take note!
Je suis tellement heureux pour lui!!! Super Grande Final!!! Bravo mec Enfin ton heure de gloire!
Jair Brian De la cruz Zavaleta lol roo je sais pas si l'écrire en vaut vraiment la peine avec ce qu'il c'est passé! ^^
En gros il sait à qui il a affaire...Car Tokido lui a balancer un gros : Je suis Tokido Mec Champion du monde !!!
Donc Bonchan un type vraiment humble que j'aime beaucoup! Il reste toujours très sage dans ses propos et c'est ce qui le mène en haut de la liste des meilleurs joueurs du monde.
What is the music that starts at 31:57?
Danse of curse
Beating Akuma with Sagat is ridiculous. Bonchan was on some other shit here.
If someone knows where I can watch the "I will body him" interview please link me thanks.
It may look like bonchan is teabagging but he's actually trying to feign a low tiger shot to confuse tokido
Politikz Yeah that's Bonchan's special move.
A lot of people are slagging the commentators. But i have to stick up for them a little.. They are really good players actually if you happen to watch "Wednesday Night Fights" from London, obviously streamed on a Wednesday. I think it's F-Word and i can't mind the other fella, but they are really good players respectively.
was rooting for tokido, but men bonchan really deserved it THE KING IS BACK
Awesome!! Bonchan makes it do what it do baby. What an epic victory.
Is anybody else annoyed by the fact that the names and player vids are over the wrong characters?
so , they're playing with the other's character?
All the worlds fighters must bow before the King.
Was Escaflowne Bonchan's winning song? That caught me off guard.
same
How much money did he win?
Definitely one of the best sets of all time
Hopefully SF6 goes back to this skill/execution based gameplay but I fear those days are over. SF5 ruined so many things.
Great commentary guys, good job.
Wait is Bonchan playing Sagat or Akuma?
RoosterCogburnPhD Bonchan is playing Sagat.
*****
That's what I figured. The names are on the wrong sides.
Is Bonchan playing Akuma? I'm confused. Akuma player got a point when Sagat won
Drakester671 Bonchan is Sagat.
I don't need the commentator to tell me Sagat is firing off a tiger shot! Well done Bonchan
So happy for Bonchan, he IS the king. And Tokido shows again why he's the Rick Flair of the FGC. Lots of talk and bravado, and dirtiest player in the game haha.
The French really knows how to do a tourney right. That ring, the lighting, ppl in shirt and ties...and the confetti in the end was an excellent touch. Real classy!!
wow the commentator sure likes calling people cowards
red bull kumite 2016 is gonna be hype
Hmm, so in "Red Bull Kumite" you pick your opponent's main?
Ayk S What? No, not at all. What gave you that impression?
RocketPawnch Well, Tokido uses Akuma and Bonchan Sagat usually, no?
Sebastian Castillo Ohhhh, LOL! Sorry about that!
Ayk S yeah dumbass
Props to the French live announcer for carrying it during the event, though. Superb work.
Tokido = WWE "fighter".... talks trash... loses... LOL
congrats Bonchan.... beast Sagat... da real king !!!
God resist the proud but shows favor to the humble. Good win Bonchan.
Escaflowne?? Really??
that set up was godlike
Can someone reply to me with translation of everything in Japanese to english pls
Its Like Tokido and Bonchan were Titans going at it
Badly chosen to put Bonchan's face and name over Akuma's lifebar.
sweet
The real King Sagat!!! No pressure...
"If he use Ryoo, I body him"
Gamezob when did he say this?
Long live THE KING
only cowards block
i body him with over heads
that was awesome xD
I wish bonchan was this good in SF5AE
I was rooting for daigo and the murderface. Damn
Haha why are they playing Attack on Titan music at the end? lol
i love tokido and bonchan!
Sagat players approve this
I was rooting for bonchan from the start
"Just gimme da ooooonnnnne"
Lol GG, stopped watching when names remained on wrong side throughout first set -_-
That Attack on ttians music in dis bitch doe lol
yep!!!
Yo Tokido Body Bag
Dope tourney the drama was real
Tokido was for too long in US.
Talks too much trash.
Should go to WWE.
God America don't contaminant Japan's tradition to be respectful. No need to try and contaminant other countries.
*Chokido*
Tokido won to me any player that uses Akuma that have like 30% less life. Sagat didt have to hit him much.
Lol stop, it's very obvious why he has less life
very gg
Sagat looks weird in yoga pants
This mist have been the commentators first real gigs because they acted like 12 yr olds. Really embarrassing.
very nice tournament but very shitty commentating. it got rly annoying from time to time. oh and escaflowne+
AdlerSchwadron Uh, what? There was very little faffing about during the games and both commentators seemed to know their stuff really well. They constantly kept you updated on what was happening and things that could have been done better in certain situations. On top of that they got hype when the games did, keeping it entertaining as well as informative. Contrary to what you said, it was actually very good commentating.
BieberSucksCock100
nope, contrary to what you said, it was acutally pretty bad commentating. especially in the later games.
How? What made it bad?
BieberSucksCock100 They never talked about Bonchan's evolution in his gameplay compared to his last match, something even Spooky knows how to do, they slowly devolved into just hype yelling and stating the obvious, and they were extremely biased towards BonChan, and I don't know about you, but there is nothing worse than a biased commentator. They were trash talking Tokido, which is not the commentators job, especially if it is supposed to be for a somewhat formal event such as this one. Look at Capcom Cup if you want to hear good commentators.
Austin Wagoner I don't think they were actually biased, but rather encouraged by the trash talking at the beginning. Tokido trash talked and got bopped hard. It's funny. They made light of it. Although i'll admit they did dwell on it a little too long. To be fair, if you're looking at capcom cup and talking about how annoying biased commentators are, I don't think I've ever seen worse than seth killian commentating on a daigo match.
As for stating the obvious, that's simply not true. The slightly more formal member in this duo mentioned in detail what was happening and what could have been done better by using his knowledge on frame data. I can't recall a time when spooky, ultra david, james chen, or seth killian have provided anything more than what was provided here. Sure it wasn't the best and would I rather be listening to ultrachen? Yeah, but bad commentating? Not even remotely.
Still, at least you gave good reasons for why you disliked it. The other guy failed to provide anything credible or valid, even when questioned.
how did a gay tokido akuma get to this fnal.. rubbish
bonchan was way better
