Such a pleasure to watch those two guys. No pressure, calm faces, always respecting and congratulating each other after a fight. That's the way to compete!
I'm a Smash player, I never got into more standard fighting games. Even so, watching this top 8, and Tokido's loser's bracket all the way to this huge reset victory was extremely exciting! The clutch parries, the comeback rounds, the ending with a fucking PERFECT. What a beautiful game to watch sometimes.

Really think infiltration and tokido are both dope players but it was awesome seeing tokido finally get one from infiltration and in the most clutch ways
+Krizalid99 I wouldn't say let him win. I think infiltration gave up on that last round though. I think he just wasn't able to figure out Tokido and gave up the perfect at the end.
12:03 - 12:05 I love how both commentators are literally speechless there and all you can hear afterwards is one of them letting the air out in disbelief. Crazy finals.
People saying that Infiltration handed him the match need to stop. It's obvious Tokido stepped up his game since their last encounter, and that very last round proved it. Infil had already lost before it started, and Tokido just walked up and took it away from him without giving him an inch.
It's not free, you try playing ryu and parrying on reaction, there is a small time where you are vulnerable as the animation starts up...It's pretty hard, actually
Tokido coming beating and coming back from Diago. Beating Haitani and finally getting that win in convincing fashion nobody deserved this win more than Tokido. His reactions and parries were the highlight of the night! Way to go Murdaface!
This is probably the 8th time I watch this video and I am convinced, this is the most amazing win I've seen so far! TokiGOD had to first, he beat DAIGO, then MOMOCHI!! Gets to the finals on the losers bracket. Starts with sick moves, then resets the bracket, gets a PERFECT in the last round, against INFILTRATION!!!
Dude, Tokido played some serious SF there! Sick Ryu, deserved victory. He was on fire! Infiltration is such a nice fella and great Nash player, in a way it was sad to see him lose.
I DID say it was only a matter of time. you all knew Tokido was slowly catching up and he was slowly but surely downloading infiltration from every match in the past.
That was the case in USFIV. They fixed that in SFV, there are no more fps drops on other stages. But still, The Grid is definitely the most competitive stage due to it's straight design.
its a shame because people who dont know much about street fighter wont really understand the depth of the game play, all they can see is an ugly non attractive stage. The only thing that might interest them are sick/flashy combos or plays being hyped by the crowd and commentators. If it were on a nicer stage its just more appealing to the eye in general and may also spark some interest in an unfamiliar watcher. You see a hot girl and instantly you're attracted right? Then you see a not so hot girl and just look the other way and move on with your day. Kinda the same thing... kinda idk if i got my point across or not but whatever lol
I successfully did a CA parry against an online Nash twice yesterday lol you can learn so much from watching pros play. Before that I never even thought that was possible. Now I'm thinking about the possibility of parrying wake-up CAs from Kens and even Ryus lol.
Agreed. I was rooting for Infiltration, but it's awesome that Tokido won. I'm hype for the salty runback between these two! Great matches. Congratulations, Tokido! :)
One of the best grand finals ever. Congratulations for Tokido, showing us that the power isn't inside the character but the player behind it. Long life to the FGC ;)
Nash's overhead MP actually has a 22 frame start-up, even though it looks _way_ faster than Guile's (21 frames). I think Nash's hopping animation makes it harder to react to.
+Rosanne “D4rkWolf/D4rkRose” Faerwing players could use the lines on the wall and floor as I guess where to space and throw out buttons and use that to their advantage, not that I'm saying they're doing that but ya know
Why not make it so that there is an edited version of the stage for the torn. version where the lines are gone and its just a box room, it would stop any advantages to players and would mean there is more focus on the characters. It honestly wouldn't be that hard to make a tournament version via a modification, of course make it specific to only be that one modification, it doesn't change the game, make it unfair to the players, it just makes it so that its a clear fighting ground.
but both players have visual access to it, its not like there are blind players out there that have disadvantage if training stage is used. Simply put the stage is boring, I don't mind it when it comes to great play like this sense I don't break concentration during the neutral game. On top of that I think the players them self's are trying to reduce distractions
The use of the lines is super popular among Japanese players cause they play way more technical than US or EU, but they use it to measure their pokes when they practice so they know the range in all stages.
I'll burn when I see the crazy crowd like this. Tokido was at least prepared for that match, shook Infiltration visibly. He showed Daigo how to play with Ryu and gave us the best 2016 final of the SFV with a perfect finish. Tokido, Our beloved Gouki awaits you in 2017!
zhicheng yang LOL fucking no, watch Alex Valle Vs Daigo at SoCal Regionals 2011, or Daigo vs Momochi Stunfest 2015 This match, like the rest of SFV has shitty footsies and dumbed down gameplay
Veio MUITO PREPARADO para a match contra Nash e principalmente contra o Nash do Infiltration , certeza como teve um treino intensivo só em cima do jogo do Infiltration com Nash , as leituras foram muito perfeitas e as reações dele foram de outro mundo , Tokido Tokidando geral .
6 game sets in a row, so lovely. These two impressive monsters... at this rate they probably gonna end up in grand finals at EVO. I really love the matches between them but, I love surprises too. Hope we can see some other players in Top 8. I was wondering, who is the girl with the cosplay? it's not the first time I see her in this events...
How to can I stop someone or the opponet cheating by making a pop-up on my TV screen such as "Broadcating your video" or "Return to RUclips" while I'm fighting with my oppenent on PS4? This blocks my view in a fight. It's a way of cheating by my opponet with Street Fight V of Sony PS4 every time I'm in a fight online. It never happens like this I play in the SURVIVAL up to 30 rounds. It bothers me so much.
Am I the only one who found it hilarious when at the end of the last round the way the commentator yells out of nowhere "MAYBE IT CAN KILL??!" Just me then
What are you talking about? SFV was a pile of crap when it came out, 16 characters were a joke and core mechanics were broken. Right now, the game is just getting better and better.
@@JoNassRasierer I don't like the core mechanics and that's my personal preference, but the competitive scene quickly became more and more of a shitfest after season 2. Right now every tournament top 16 is 80% just Rashid and Karin, before that it was just Abigail and Guile, they keep adding characters but nobody uses them in tournament. Back when the game came out the roster was limited and the game wasn't even finished, but the competitive scene was way more exciting, but maybe it's because people still had to figure out how broken the game really was.
@@MessatsuGoshoryu02 I think it's more the patches fucked SFV for the worse. DP nerfs. Nash nerf. Ryu Chun nerf. Mika nerf. Addition of unga bunga Guile, Balrog, Ibuki with their BS V-Trigger comebacks and dash in crush counter combos the original cast didn't have. All sorts of things.
Such a pleasure to watch those two guys. No pressure, calm faces, always respecting and congratulating each other after a fight. That's the way to compete!
finally someone using Ryu's parry. I honestly like watching Tokido using Ryu over Daigo.
Daigo still using Ryu like SFIV, no wonder he can't go anywhere
I'm a Smash player, I never got into more standard fighting games. Even so, watching this top 8, and Tokido's loser's bracket all the way to this huge reset victory was extremely exciting!

6-1, prefect at the end...
+iishyxvietxboyii1 infiltration let him win
Kind of seemed that way imho. But Tokido definitely deserved the win regardless.
agreed...did you see the parries Tokido was pulling off? No way Infiltration let him win.
+Krizalid99 I wouldn't say let him win. I think infiltration gave up on that last round though. I think he just wasn't able to figure out Tokido and gave up the perfect at the end.

that sequence was anime af
I don't even play fighting games, but this was fucking awesome
Same here olny 4 years after
People saying that Infiltration handed him the match need to stop. It's obvious Tokido stepped up his game since their last encounter, and that very last round proved it. Infil had already lost before it started, and Tokido just walked up and took it away from him without giving him an inch.
16:26 "No, he can't kill... Maybe he can kill?!"
Tokido's Ryu is the stuff of legend!
You all know you came for 9:34, 12:02, and 12:29.
Well......you're not wrong.
2:11 too
ClackMan And Alex, & M. Bison.
Yup! Forgot about that one, crap! So much amazing play by Tokido !!!
It's not free, you try playing ryu and parrying on reaction, there is a small time where you are vulnerable as the animation starts up...It's pretty hard, actually
something was in tokidos water that enhance him in God mode. it has to be illegal lol
+ClackMan this is ryu first major tournament win. the rest was all nash, necali, and ken
+ClackMan nash 3 x (Ncr, FR, and redbull) ken 2 x (Texas showdown and stuntfest) necali (dreamhack) to be exact
Cammy, Laura, F.A.N.G, M.Bison, Karin and Chun-Li have all won majors too man
Why are you hating on Tokido so hard? Those frames arent plus dude. Nash's frames were plus, until he parried them. Give credit where credit is due.
+ClackMan lmao...that salt..lets complain about how cheap Nash is too? Atleast keep the sodium levels balanced ;)
That parry at 9:34 😱 epic stuff
Finally the revenge he was looking for all this time!
Congratulations Tokido! You are well deserved for this!
Tokido coming beating and coming back from Diago. Beating Haitani and finally getting that win in convincing fashion nobody deserved this win more than Tokido. His reactions and parries were the highlight of the night! Way to go Murdaface!
He also beat Momochi
+TrackpadWarrior sounds like tokido took down everybody! I'm going to have to watch this entire tourney.
+Flechaxp Tokido deserved to win
+Flechaxp Tokido deserves to win
Tokido is the Daigo of SFV!!
Or Tokido
Tokido is really great. I remember on evo 2k10 and 2k11 he played like 5~6 games and got top 8 in all. He can play any fighting game.
Daigo is nothing compared to tokido shut up
why can't he be his own man?
dago has way past his prime. he's not even in world top 5 nomore
Ma dude at 12:38 staring at the cam
This is probably the 8th time I watch this video and I am convinced, this is the most amazing win I've seen so far! TokiGOD had to first, he beat DAIGO, then MOMOCHI!!

This was the finals that hypes me the most. Holy shit this is awesome
02:09 09:33 12:03 12:29
Tokido is a freaking monster. Parry super on reaction, v trigger shoryuken to punish v reversal, winning with a perfect. What a beast
EXCELLENT TOURNAMENT, EXCELLENT FINALS, EXCELLENT COMMENTARY !!!
Well, that was better than I expected. Excellent performance by Tokido, played to the max and stepped it all the way up.
This is still the high light of sfv as of yet.
What about our king smug
Damn, losed the oportunity to rickroll... maybe next time
Factsss
Amazing matches, just a shame it's on training stage.
How is that a shame, Lol?
pros prefer the training stage because there's no extra animations in the background which can sometimes slow the game down.
That was the case in USFIV.
They fixed that in SFV, there are no more fps drops on other stages.
But still, The Grid is definitely the most competitive stage due to it's straight design.

+Beefy Smash Doods Beefy SF Doods? Kappa
Nice to see you guys here. :)
Classic match! The realization of the "Fist of Wind"(風之拳)by Tokido.
I like how Infiltration is like "good shit good shit" everytime you see him and he seems to enjoy having to fight someone at this level.
I successfully did a CA parry against an online Nash twice yesterday lol you can learn so much from watching pros play. Before that I never even thought that was possible. Now I'm thinking about the possibility of parrying wake-up CAs from Kens and even Ryus lol.
That super parry into the max damage combo by Tokido was probably my favorite moment, fucking incredible
To be honest I really enjoy when Street fighter V moved at this pace and not the pace now which is more similar to 4
Be honest, besides the part of the video that Bryan Tran linked to, you all came for this. 16:09
lmao dude at 12:40 bottom left is like "I saw you Tokido, I knew what you were gonna do..."
lol glad someone else noticed
I'm dead! I would have never noticed
Glad I didn't read the comments first. Great men sad infiltration lost but not mad Tokido won
Great *match
Agreed. I was rooting for Infiltration, but it's awesome that Tokido won. I'm hype for the salty runback between these two! Great matches. Congratulations, Tokido! :)
I feel the same. I love watching Infiltration, but Tokido is OG Akuma too.
Umas das melhores lutas do sf5
i am so happy for tokido, he definitely deserves it.
Tokido,the best sfv player of japan
Wow, Tokido gave me goosebumps several times.
That's how you level up your game. Kudos to Tokido. Can't wait to see what Infiltration comes up with next.
Thanks for posting this without any spoiler-warnings so it could come up on my recommended and screw me over
One of the best grand finals ever. Congratulations for Tokido, showing us that the power isn't inside the character but the player behind it.
Long life to the FGC ;)
Tokido chasing you down with Akuma is one thing but the pressure you feel is entirely different when the same thing happens with Ryu.
Nash's overhead MP actually has a 22 frame start-up, even though it looks _way_ faster than Guile's (21 frames). I think Nash's hopping animation makes it harder to react to.
Hola
im here for the parries.
Awesome come back from Tokido, both Tokido and Infiltration are amazing players!!
thats some 80s over the top revenge action, so hype!
Ban training stage from tournies, NOW
why?

you can tell the exact moment when infiltration broke down on the final round. felt like he just gave up. good on tokido. will study how he uses ryu.
16:26 "No, he can't kill... MAYBE HE CAN KIIIILL!?!?" Lol Ultra David is the best.
So is Tokido the protagonist now?
Total obliteration of Infiltration
_Definitely_
@12:40
Did Infiltration just get 6-0'd? Jesus
6-1
Juan Penca _So, obliteration...._
10:05 - this is incredible match-up knowledge
tokido was amazing... long time being only second... but now he was perfect against infiltration ...
3rd times the charm these 2 are the best in the world in sfv just amazing to watch them play
12:00 I love the v-trigger -> v-trigger, I was so hype at home on my couch
Holy crap, that was such a sick match up. Tokido really brought it and that was so cool to watch.
It was wonderful to watch this specific match.
Something crazy in this match ! Infiltration was truly doing great during first set, then tokido went godlike !
Ryu and Nash shouldn't have been nerfed, imagine this Nash or Ryu against this new top tiers? (Balrog, Laura, Guile, Cammy, Ibuki, Urien).
lmao 12:41 the guy on bottom left then the girl comes in on the right.
Jeez dem parries.
At 9:31 that's when we all knew this wasn't gonna be the same match we've seen before.
Tokido truly opening up his Mind's Eye.
"I body you" -Tokido
i am very impressed with tokidos ryu. i am a daigo fan when it comes to ryu, but tokido has changed that. nicely done.
This is one of the best Ryu play ever in SFV yet.
Game 2... Parrying CA on reaction and follow up was INSANE
Tokido is and has been the best sfv player from the beginning.
Man, I can't wait for EVO and Capcom Cup...
Fantastic to watch always wanted to watch the best in the world Ryu is a beast hard to beat. 👏 Congratulations Tokido
This was the most hyped match in sf5 history.
Faaaactsss
Man, tokido deserves this. Definitely my favorite street fighter player right now.
The parry and the reads.. wow! This time around Tokidosan. Congrats!
One of the best matches i've seen from tok he was at another level
one of the best match in SF history
zhicheng yang LOL fucking no, watch Alex Valle Vs Daigo at SoCal Regionals 2011, or Daigo vs Momochi Stunfest 2015
This match, like the rest of SFV has shitty footsies and dumbed down gameplay
Veio MUITO PREPARADO para a match contra Nash e principalmente contra o Nash do Infiltration , certeza como teve um treino intensivo só em cima do jogo do Infiltration com Nash , as leituras foram muito perfeitas e as reações dele foram de outro mundo , Tokido Tokidando geral .
9:46 god I love James Chen.
I was laughing at the exact same thing. Dude is hilarious! "On fire ladies and gentlemen...OH, never mind....."
This can be a start to a storied rivalry between Infiltration and Tokido. Infiltration is still 3-1 vs Tokido in Grand Final situations though.
I'm so glad Tokido won
This should go down in HISTORY!
finally tokido!!!! sickest grand final yet
people can finally stop complaining about nash, and the nash vs ryu matchup, and take a look at the tech possible when you have a v skill parry in sfv
Greatest street fighter V grand final ever!!!
Tokido hype af as always winning with fashion. I am actually looking forward to seeing how prepared Momochi will be at EVO.
Those parries.... absolutely beautiful. Glad Tokido beat Infilration.
Seriously...this is the reason why I love fighting games
Remember when Nash and Ryu where two of the best characters?
6 game sets in a row, so lovely. These two impressive monsters... at this rate they probably gonna end up in grand finals at EVO. I really love the matches between them but, I love surprises too. Hope we can see some other players in Top 8.
I was wondering, who is the girl with the cosplay? it's not the first time I see her in this events...
Tokido's parry game was the difference maker in this set.

How can I save SFV video game in 1080p 60fps with my new PS4 with Samsung 3D 1080p HDTV? It only saves it in 720p at 30fps.
Infil is the final boss overlord. Beating Infil at a premier event in grand finals feels just as good as winning evo.

Coming in like that guy from the old Mortal Kombat games, lmfao.
This is why parries need to be back as a full mechanic like in 3rd strike for future SF games.
This game looked so promising three years ago, holy shit
