^Tokido pose
man…tokido really stole the show…and he was BODYING everybody (except daigo). didn’t he OCV team usa? i think if he would have gotten past daigo, he would have been able to take out Fchamp. tokido should have beaten daigo but missed that uppercut in the corner after a short tatsu. the punish killed him =(
tokido pose > daigo parry
REAL TALK
This times a hundred
Someone should make a T-shirt/Art in Obama/Chris Hu style
Only with Valle and “Ultra, Man!”
I want a tokido shirt, with the Kanji a little too big and to the left like when he posed.
This was great indeed, enjoyed every moment of it. So many great names and matches in the SSF4 tournament, it was crazy. The pace was amazing, couldn’t find any time to go out for a smoke. I also like to think that they learned from mistakes made in the SBR tourney, as commentary and crowd was very respectful and grown-up. I happen to feel with people losing early in the tourney who traveled countries to do so, and it’s nice that they get an honorable exit by the players and commentators if that occurs.
Also liked the calm of UltraDavid, smooth to listen too while being very educated on his comments. Combined with a bit more hype from people like skisonic you get a professional feel of knowledge and fun.
I was well amazed the whole time. gg level-up and SCR.
Hey 3S players - apologies from me and Arlieth for not making it back on day 3 - Arly developed a 99.7 degree fever with nausea and now I’ve got it. Regarding day 2, I know the brackets and setup was a mess, but we did the best we could with what we were given. We appreciate you guys sticking with us.
Shoutouts to Rom and Miranda (great meeting you!), Duralath (call me - Tom and I have something for you), ViktheOrange, KenI, DemonofElru, render, Xie, Coopa, pulsr, Tokido, and all the 3S players.
Fuck the haters (I’M LOOKING AT YOU JR <3).
P.S. “I should retire”.
Props to FC for taking it. He definitely proved himself to the world by overcoming players such as Jwong, Ricky & Daigo. Despite the outcome, the Ice Man definitely took the show, and not just with the Ten pose. Tokido’s rush down Akuma & his taunts against Jwong made some of his matches very enjoyable to watch. It’s a pity he dropped the winning uppercut against Daigo, I wanted to see FC vs Tokido in grand finals.
I have to chime in on this. If he was irritated from shouts and screams then how has he survived over her for so long? I think seasons beatings was no different from any other tournament he has entered. When he took on andre he JUST arrived to the venue and had a few matches prior with no one saying not a word… just watching. When he lost to andre is when he had to deal with the chants and the hype.
In fact when I look back all his matches were QUIET. No one said a word until the round was over. Sure you had the:
“hold it andre”
“don’t lose focus”
shouts… other than that Daigo had it good. Real good. So to say that he was irritated… incorrect. HE WAS TIRED. I have never seen someone fall asleep during a event. If you were there (which it seems like u were) he literally feel asleep during the 5 on 5.
Lets move up
Marn vs Daigo… if u were there… it was the same thing… quiet. Simple oooh an ahhhs… during the match. No distraction. Everything people complained about came at the end. Im sorry for someone who has its rock star like when they come to tournaments I would think he would be ok with any type of atmosphere cause majority of the time he is roped off or in his own little world until match time. I WILL give him the factor that the guy simply wanted to SLEEP. A lot of people got over on him cause he lacked the rest that he most likely needed. To say SB peeps were a distraction is crazy cause if ANYTHING irritated him was the fact of how cheerful people were when he lost. I didnt see no sad faces or irritation when people would as his translator for pictures and autographs…
clicks IGNORE BUWHAHA. i need somebody that can back their shiet up with proof, not fanboism.
sure he was tire too. but did u not watch scr stream? SETH KILLIAN “daigo got them headphones, cuz he said sometimes the noises from the back make him lose his focus”…
when did he start wearing headphones? pick the right answer and you win a cup of STHU… (choose that all apply)
-when he first started playing games.
-when he won evo 09
-when he lost at SBR
-when he attend SCR
-when he came to SBR, tired and had dipshits screaming in the back.
-when he came to SCR thinking it will be like SBR where idiots will be standing a feet away from him.
i had hella fun at SCR. I was drunk and talking mad shit the whole weekend.
I took photos and video at SCR including the now infamous Tokido Raging Demon pose. The pics can be found here

I’ll be uploading more photos throughout the day.
I also filmed the KoF XIII tourney and Marvel vs Capcom 3. For MvC3 this best footage I have is between Marn and Kurasa. Marn went beast mode with his unstoppable Dante and Trish team. The videos will be up this afternoon at this page YouTube - Kapwan’s Channel
SCR was one of the best major’s I’ve ever been to. It was way better being there than watching it online. The Filipino vs Daigo finals were way more tense than Daigo vs Ricky at Evo this year.
Levelup needs to level up their streaming. Seriously that shit was low tier. For such a major event you’d think they’d be able to fly in spooky.
You obviously don’t get the point. No one even shouted until the matches were over… so your excuse for SB is all wrong. an with his length of time coming to tournaments he has dealt with “noise” before… come on guy your not even trying to think.
thanks for the advice clicks ignore on you
how come tokido was taunting so much against justin? missed almost the entire stream last night, only saw grand finals
better cam footage of Tokido’s pose:

Went to the socal tourney… Great players I only entered the mvc2 tourney. It was on DC and I just went with it. Won first few matches then lost a match, decided to check in at the hotel and took longer than i suspected and leaves me no choice but to disqualify my match (doesn’t matter i was going to lose anyway). I’m really upset I couldn’t give my all for the tourney, such a waste. anyways the dogface show for mr.s john c, alex v, mr mike watson! haha don’t fuck with watson! much props to all of them and such a entertaining interview!
BAD: Not one person in the tourney had MVC2 ON PS3/XBOX… It sucks that I can’t play like how I usually play on PS3 version and the fact that I can’t do more than 1 ahvb on dc version is really laughable. The only GOOD character I have in marvel is CABLE, that character is the only reason I used to win before and i can’t depend on that…
by the way The dc version i was playing on was playing STAR WARS THEME SONG/MILEY SIRUS OR whatever country girl music (—>IN TOURNEY <----) on the dc set up… (SMH) Whoever had that dc no offense… but here’s a suggestion… Lets use a original mvc2 game, no bs crap music and weird color selection for characters.
I suggest: STICK TO PS3 and LEAVE DC Marvel .
GREAT TOURNEY though props to the winners.
This is probably one of the best tournament streams I’ve seen and was just as much fun to watch as the EVO 2010 stream.
Thanks Level Up!
Also congrats to Filipino Champ and Tokido was fucking awesome.
