There are few people who can truly claim to be legends. And even fewer who can live up to the meaning of the word.
Tokido is perhaps the most decorated fighting game player in history. With Top 8 placements in over a dozen different games over his career, he is one of the greatest players the fighting games community has ever seen.
Tokido has spent most of his career in Daigo’s shadow. He’s dedicated his life to perfecting his craft. All in his quest to become something many believe he already is.
This is his story.

You forgot to tell that Tokido is good at playing Jenga too.
Just saw Tokido and Punk at NCR Grand Finals. It makes me smile when I saw Punk giving him the first player seat. Theres a lot of salt and hatred in the FGC so i'm glad that two of the top players are above that shit.
Tokido is in Daigo's shadow. Well Ryu is the face of Street Fighter after all
Victory is fleeting, but legends last forever.
he might have lost his championship spot in 2018, but a legend in my heart forever.
Still SfV is a joke of a game…
Missing USF4 ='(
Is this a re upload or remake of an older video ???
here is two things for certain… daigo is no longer at his prime.. he is garbage level player.. and SFV is a garbage game… hope SF6 is 10x better…
Nothing but respect for my GOAT

A gamer that has studied for a masters degree. Godlike. Tokido is amazing
Tokido won Evo in 2002 for CvS2.
I love Tokido! His English has improved so much!
Really sad to see him not on Echo Fox anymore
true legend
"I want to be the legend"?
No, Tokido, That's not gonna happen. You are already the legend.
29:44 the disrespect.
I mean this is still a good video but I'm already seeing thescore esports painting sonicfox as the ''goat'' over legends that have done everything like Tokido and Kazunoko lol.
Floe was right, the Daigo vs Tokido storyline in this video is over dramatic. Their paths were vastly different, so how was Tokido overshadowed? Because Daigo is more popular? The implication that he wasn't truly great before sfv in particular was innacurate and honestly ridiculous considering he was already regarded as a legend back then. Not to mention most oldschool fighting game commentators say he's the best fighting game player of all time.
Tokido is a legend, so good at so many diff games
"I want to be ZA REJEND"
Maxmillian Dood got me into fighting games, TOKIDO got me addicted to it.
豪鬼 仲未罗到卡普空杯冠军，仲未系最强豪鬼。
Tokido is the best player. Daigo is god of SF
he is something else…
11:30 Tokido with spiky hair and black clothing looks like that Japanese thug you don't mess with on the streets.
