If you know about fighting games, you’ve heard of Tokido.
He’s an EVO Champion, one of the most successful players of all time, beloved by the community and unbelievably skilled.
But even though everyone considered him the best, he was constantly chasing the shadow of the greatest fighting game player of all time: Daigo Umehara.
For six years, Tokido tried and failed to take Daigo’s crown. For six years, Tokido challenged Daigo to gruelling, first-to-ten matches and faced losses that drove him to tears.
But Tokido persevered, and continued on his quest to become the new god of fighting games.

isn't tokido more consistent like justin wong
The real life story of Red and Blue
Taquitos
The story of Daigo and Tokido is like seeing Ryu and Ken. Ken excels on everything he does, but he still looks up to Ryu for something.
Yo Diego just didn’t care about that long set check it out honestly look over it really closely Diego was like eh imma pass on the torch to this kid he obviously wants it and threw it his way. It’s sad if Tokido see’s this comment but it’s kinda true unfortunately not trying to down play tokido he’s awesome and I also ain’t trying to be simping over Diego but really check it out. Come one Diego didn’t win once against tokido in a kinda long set plus it wasn’t a first to 10 so…… yea just saying 😳
Next will be otani to make revenge on daigo
Tokido = ryu
Daigo = akuma
Daigo does not walk into someone’s shadow. His only enemy is his own self.
-He who conquers himself conquers the world..
Tokido is a great character.. But hes chasing after someone’s shadow.. this is like Lebron after Michael
daigo's fang beat tokido's urien in a ranked match in jan… as a SF veteran/player i still think Daigo is the better player.
I get EXTREME goku vs vegeta vibes from this
Perhaps daigo dont wanna see tokido cry again and let he win 7-0
Next anime plot, Otani try to beat Tokido and be the best to revenge his master.
But daigo always comes back and beat you. He's always trying to improve and study why he lose.
UMEHARA-GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Daigo be like, you can win the championships but know that im always better.
Or only just better against him. That's actually some pro move right there.
While Tokido toils to beat everyone's strat, Daigo just aims for him and could care less about others.
Not only he makes Tokido the stronger and dissatisfied with his achievements, he also cements his name as the master of Tokido
so what you're saying is that tokido is the ryu of street fighter tournaments
Daigo with prep time: Batman
Looks like Daigo wasn't even trying at the end.
The story is amazing, had chills from hearing it. Daigo is such a legend. Tokido is like the player in Pokemon who beat the Elite 4 and the Champion to become the current Champion but Daigo is like Red, the legend in the story who people whispers of his tales of glory. You finally met and face him, only to realize that the tale is really true, he's truly the legend.
Tokido's Murder face was born because Daigo's Balrog was trolling Tokido's Vega. Tokido was so salty that Daigo still felt it on their way back to Japan. Lol You'll understand why Tokido was hellbent on destroying Daigo.
It's like Tokido tries to be, but Daigo just is
I love these story’s so inspirational great work 🔥👍
Dang. And I thought. Daigo and Tokido trained extensively together to take down Infiltration.
These players are OK. SF is nothing. Marvel games are everything. Wong is the GoAT.
when tokido fought Daigo the second time in topanga guile was heavily nerfed while akuma is OP. the fight was heavily imbalanced
Sf5 was nothing to be compared to sf4
Two different games
The skill gap in sf4 was so big
Tokiddo have gotten better for sure
But sf5 didn’t have as the big skill gap that sf4 did
Capcom probably lowered the skill. Gap thinking it will attract more players and more audience
But I think it’s backfired on them
While this video is for Tokido, months later after 7-0-ing Daigo..Daigo 10-0'd him again.
Daigo is H I M
People talk about reads, yomis and such but these 2 guys don't even play for the rewards anymore.
They play for the glory and that's something not a lot of people have as their motivation. This is deep taking it to another level.
Winning Daigo at tournaments means nothing to Tokido. But proving to Daigo that he can surpassed him in a duel to the death is what Tokido is looking for.
12:30 man I chill to dead here…..
