Who is the greatest FG player of all time?

[NAP]

I could agree with Nuki, he seems to be as good an answer as any.

My personal favorite will always be Kuroda though. I want to go to Japan just for the chance to meet him.

[3rd_strike]

J’s Makoto back in the 3rd strike era. That SBO semi-final reverse OCV is still my favorite 3rd strike video til this day.

I wonder what happened to him now?

[alphaqsilly]

yo dawg all i care about is who is the greatest marvel vs capcom 3 player of all time cuz that shit is hype

That would have to be Tokido. Further reinforcing my pick.

[his1nightmare]

Simply give the title to Kuroda, someone being THAT skilled in 3S is the best FG-player by default. At least imo.

J’s Makoto back in the 3rd strike era.

Oh J, giving double-perfects in tournaments vs well known players like never seen before. He should at least be mentioned too, indeed.

[Good_Game_Player]

nobody who excelled in only one game can be a candidate for best ever imo, especially one that throws most of 2d fighting tradition out the window like 3s does

[Crashd]

Daigo played basketball once

Do you have any proof of this?

[pherai]

J wouldn’t even be one of the top 10 3s players of all time, much less fighting games in general.

Doesn’t eddie get bodied in SF4 the easiest fighting game ever made? And Tomo was so bad at ST that he quit fighting games. Surely these can’t be candidates for best FG player of all time. I’m still waiting for someone to name anyone more worthy than Tokido. Doesn’t matter if its 3d or 2d he plays them all and consistently places high. I’m sure that he is talented enough to master a game if he actually focused on it instead of playing multiple games.

Plus he had the best win pose in video game history. Not to mention that he graduated from one of the top universities in the world in Engineering. I’m trying to thinkif anyone is a better overall person than Tokido.

you was doing well until the last part, that’s when you basically started sucking tokido dick.

so hes good at the worst game in the series big deal. fuck kuroda

[ShinjiGohan]

he’s good at SF4?

[N4Us]

Kuroda’s favorite game is Super Fighter, but everyone refuses to play him in that so he just grins and bears it in 3s.

because evo doesnt count for games that arent capcom games :P, you cant compare the quality of competition on evo and sbo, not to put down the usa gg scene, but lets be real, the lack of matchup experience and variety of players hurt a lot the chances to get better at the game, not to mention that sometimes some players doesnt have solid fundamentals, something that daigo has, but that it wouldnt be enough if he face someone that has better experience with the game

its like the mvc2 scene of my country we have good players and one that has won practically all the tournaments here, but when he went to evo the last time that it had mvc2 he got the 38th spot, wich imo is a great thing considering that it was his 1st participation, but wasnt something to be surprised since a lot of players have way more experience with the game just because there is a larger number of competition

im not just talking about evo. people say daigo sucks at 3s. well he won sbo. he won GG at evo beatings the current japanese SBO GG winner in RF. he just brings it when it matters, even at games hes supposedly not so good in. capcom games are not the only games, but this guy has been winning titles in too many different games(capcom or not) imo i have to go with him. doesnt mean im right, its just my opinion

Hmm…this is a difficult question.

In capcom games you have:
Vega (claw) is a bit of a player. He has the senorita’s lined up around the block, but rumors that he prefers dictators to blondes have hurt his swag.
Seth is always asking chicks to “become a part of me.” But, I hear most of the time that line whiffs, so despite the fact that he spends most of his life not wearing pants, you cant count him as the biggest player in fighting games.
Hakan has seven kids and a crazy hot wife, so you know he used to be a player. But, he’s out of the game now so we can’t count him.
Ryu’s the biggest capcom player. How he juggles Ken, Sagat, and Sakura while keeping all three obsessed with him, we’ll never know.

Even Ryu, though, can’t compare to MK’s Johnny Cage. Truely, the greatest FG player of all time. Who else is out there trying to get numbers while Armageddon is happening all around them?

But…maybe, you were asking who the greatest FGC player is?

In that case, stream monsters seem to have it between Ricky and Mike Ross. But, personally, I’d go with a dark horse and say it’s Chris “tell your sisters to add me on facebook” Hu. The guy gets to second base within seconds of you sitting down next to him. Plus, he’s not afraid to serenade a bitch.

…why are so many people saying Daigo and Tokido?

[mega_buster]

tokido is good in even game Ive seen him play but I say daigo is top dog an tokido is a close second

Three pages and no mention of Gootecks yet? Fail thread.

[ironboy89]

True. Its the same thing with Nuki in VF and Tokido in Tekken. Both of them can body most Western players but neither of them are among the best at those 2 series in Japan.

The thing is that Tokido for instance wouldn’t be able to beat the best of America players. He sure as fuck as isn’t beating some of the koreans in Tekken.

He never has done well against somebody who was REALLY good in Tekken.

In fact Tokido’s weakest link in terms of his success is probably Tekken.

[D_Dollars]

haha! tokido will never beat gm in t6. this is the same gm who took out top korean players such as rain and knee. and i believe rain himself said GM lee would be the best in korea if he ever came over. tokido only get pass average players in t6. you gotta be kidding yourself if you think tokido or justin wong is actually good at tekken.

EDIT: tokido also isn’t good at blaz blue. the usa scene is just very ass because frankly, nobody plays blaz blue. but in japan tokido himself admitted on his blog that he can’t beat top japanese players at all in that game.

[Dash_Cancel]

I believe in Mike Ross! You people need to take the red pill so that you can learn to BELIEVE.

[Coren]

Tokido Didn’t wina single game in Final Round 13’s AH3 event, and Prinny won the whole thing, and Prinny continues to place well in tournaments when he shows up.

Ergo, Prinny is the greatest fighting game player of all time.
