veteran opponent intentionally did aggravating things like taunting during a combo and using Raging Demon to tilt him further
He was getting completely styled on by the end

Punk literally on suicide watch

>>384237445
Nigga, he'll always have it back in his mind that he could have been the fucking Champion. He'll go through the rest of his life always knowing that. $15,000 is hardly enough money to carry the eternal weight of that knowledge for as long as he lives and you fucking know it.

>>384237398
This he'll get that runback in EVO japan

>>384237542
I actually like Tokido when he trolls, because he's one of the few Japs that likes to fuck with whites.

This. It's literally anyone's game.
Punk would have never blundered into top-8 in SSF4 or GG

WOW that's CMPUNK!!!
I used to play him online all the time maybe a year or two ago?
He was never that good.

Let it be known that any of you scrubs could be a top player with just a year or two of work.

>>384237956
It won't be his first EVO anymore. He'll never the kid who became world Champion during his first EVO.

>>384238308
(I could have been him. I could have been the guy holding that in front of everyone, but now I'll never be. This could have been my one and only chance at greatness.)

>>384238308
Straight up hope and optimism: gone.

>>384238308
So does this mean he is going to go back to the hood and become a drug dealer now?

>>384238308
I hope he kills himself so there's one less failure on Earth.

honestly the most retarded person in the entire fgc

>>384237992
This, it's inconsistency: the game

>>384240257
you could say he was acting like a... punk

Punk has won almost ever SFV major since he started competing. And he only lost at Evo to one of the best players in the history of the FGC. Tokido has been the best at every game he's ever played from Guilty Gear to KOF and Street Fighter and only recently he's been able to get out of Daigo's shadow.

There is no JUST. Punk and Tokido did outstandingly well.

>>384240982
Did they fight that tournament? Who won?

>>384237398
I don't know why Punk was so despondent and sour last night, the guy did a phenomenal showing for his first time out at such a young age. People have tried their entire lives to even make top 100 at this guy makes 2nd easy against one of the greatest players in the world. He should be running naked through the streets of Las Vegas celebrating.

>>384250819
It's exactly because he's young anon. Your 18 years old self wouldn't handle it really well too.

>>384250819
Probably thought they'd hand him the Championship just for being black.

>>384244750
I wonder if Punk even knew that. Tokido had like all the Karin fight experience you could ask for when his bff mains him and they train together. Just goes to show you have to put in the time outside the game to research your opponents.

>>384250819
He felt like he was America's chance to win a 3D SF game

>>384249626
This is the most bitter sad thing I've read in a while

Don't worry anon, you'll make it one day

>>384248757
This wouldn't have happened if SF didn't have that retarded stun mechanic leaving Punk helpless for 25% of the match. Might as well have just had a guy come on stage and pull his controller away randomly.

>>384251992
And it's still bullshit. In a fighting game you should never take control away from your character, it's just giving the other guy a free win. Might as well not even be playing at that point.

>>384251276
That's what they were holding him up as. Either Punk wins the first-ever EVO for America in Street Fighter, or Tokido finally wins his first EVO for himself after placing top 3 constantly in Street Fighter. America's hopes were dashed, but Tokido's legend was truly solidified.

>>384250819
He's barely not a child and felt he was his entire country's best hope to win a major Street Fighter tournament for the first time in the better part of a decade.

Plus you can easily tell that the fact that the only guy he didn't want to face in GF was Tokido, and that plus the pressure of the crowd visibly cracked his performance while Tokido's experience kept him calm and allowed him to capitalize. Punk beat himself, and again, he's fucking 18, so he feels bad about it, despite tearing through literally everybody in the tournament, including the guy who beat him ultimately via sending him to losers.

>>384252468
>not knocking him down so your dizzy bar goes down

It's to stop people from blocking

>>384251421
There's a stun meter, anon. It hasn't been random since SF2.

>>384250819
He will celebrate later but he was this close to winning it all and then got tilted off the face of the world. He is disappointed in himself. Just look at every major competition. Teams coming in second in the world cup, NBA finals etc. You can say all you want that they are 2nd best in the world with millions of players but at that moment in time they were so close and lost it all and as such noticeably upset with themselves.

How do we fix it? Keep in mind America hasn't won the main Street Fighter at EVO in 15 years.

>>384252830
Punk cracked and Tokido styled. The first match had a few really close games but the moment Tokido hit that taunt combo and then perfect after the reset, I knew it was over. No way you can recover from that kind of beating especially on the biggest stage of them all.

>>384252938
Had it been anyone else in grand finals, Punk would've finally won the gold. Unfortunately, he met Tokido coming out of loser's.

>>384252831
Tokido makes Akuma look OP. In fact Akuma is pretty damn weak prebuff. I won't be surprised if he got nerfed in S3./

There's no way to know exactly but with experience it becomes pretty easy to estimate. I doubt any of the pros really look at the stun meter in SFV aside from maybe to confirm what they already know.

>>384254598

Tokido beat him in a set that mattered where the stakes were ridiculously high. Only other tourney that comes close is Capcom Cup.

At the point you end up stunned it's entirely your own fault though.
So it's a free win because you simply weren't good enough not because the game decided you should lose

>>384254687

I heard a lot of players look at stun meter to hit confirm.

>>384252831
He's the weakest character in the game, tied with Cammy at 900 health. He's versatile but once you get a hit in he goes down quickly.

Maybe with season 1 Mika, but that was rectified by Capcom murdering her

You've got a bunch of tools against getting stunned. Counterpoking/whiff punishing the opponent's approach to keep them off you, and letting the stun bar go down, is your best bet, but you've got v-reversals too, which not only counterattack but deplete some of the stun bar as well.

>>384255763
I missed it too. Someone please post it

>>384237341
He should have put his headphones on. He was obviously nervous. Tokido had the headphone advantage.

>>384255642
Of course not. He's just a teenager that feels like he fucked it all up for his country and fans on the biggest possible stage, and while he DID choke, he just needs to calm down and realize how impressive of a run he actually had.

>>384255551
>>guess one 50/50 wrong
Guess what you're still not stunned after one even by Balrog.

Only one person can get stunned off one combo and that's Akuma and it can only BE done by Zangief

>>384255839
I wonder if he will realize that. I think that match did some real damage to him.

how much did people get at evo?

He was winning every tournament this year and was a little shit about it. Someone had to teach him to be humble and I'm glad it was Tokido. Hopefully he'll come back better from it

>>384237557
PRESS F TO PAY HIM A TAXI

>>384257112
Lookin at dat trophy he didnt get.

>>384257182
Probably getting hugs from his family and telling him that he did incredibly well. He scored second place in the biggest game at the biggest tournament in the world, and the only reason he lost was because he fought literally one of the biggest names in the history of the entire genre; you don't just shrug that off.

>>384257290
Depends on the tournament. There was quite a bit of noise when SNK added a $14k pot bonus to KOF XIV after registration ended, despite it being the smallest mainstage tournament.

>>384257223

Also why pro players are still trying to get into fighting games and not stupid moba ?????

I'm from /sp/ and new to fightan, which UFC fighters would you compare these two players to?

>>384257502
You'll have to split the money with your teammates though. Also capcom cup has a way bigger prize pool.

Dota 2 being a f2p game is a major point.
If Crapcom went the same route, they would be swimming in money right now from cosmetics.
But SFV being shit and cosmetics being expensive as fuck just shows nips being retarded in making wise business decisions.

>>384257560
Yeah pretty much the same shit as the Olympics in golf and other sports like that. It's just not the money.

Also winning EVO will surely make you more lucrative in the eyes of potential sponsorship deals.

It's because he already knows he's better than the best, punk is a GOD in training.

>>384257480
Works for me :^)

No but really, you have add "clips (dot)" before twitch's regular URL

Also what is the taunt? I'm not familiar with Akuma, is it that fist slam into the ground?

>>384257649
Tokido is "the legendary veteran who constantly dominates but finally won the big one after getting so close each time."
Punk is "the hottest rookie of all time."
Fill in your own names, because I'm not familiar with UFC equivalents.

>>384257434

But it is almost guaranteed that he would be fighting a legend if he made it to grand finals. Even another up and coming new player like Du didn't make it to the grandfinals. Competition from all the veterans was just too steep. He might do better at Capcom Cup where it isn't as much of a slog but Evo is a huge endurance test where you have to learn up on so many different players.

>>384257881
>>384257803
thank you

How old is Tokido? I heard he was pushing 40 soon

>>384257885
And according to James Chen, that was Punk's weakness. Punk was blowing out all his fights in winner's and never learned to adjust, while Tokido rammed his way through the shark pit that was loser's and was constantly adapting his play.

>>384257502
Fighting Games are played mostly because people love them and the community. It's a decades-old genre but it's only gotten REMOTELY big in the past few years while MOBAs and such took off like crazy. Even then, it's only because Capcom, WB, Namco Microsoft (at least for a while, do they still throw money at KI?), etc. have been throwing in pot bonuses and creating the leagues themselves.

Plus, there's a LOT more games that get play, whether it's main EVO games (9, as opposed to dedicated tourneys for one MOBA or Starcraft) or side tourneys. You have almost every game cultivate a scene, no matter how small.

>>384257502
valve gets consumers to pay for dota prize pool

>>384257885
Capcom cup has a better prize pool.
Evo is more prestigious outside of GG for Japan. People might say they want to win the former but to those people who play this game for a living, it is the latter that matters.

>>384258062
>Microsoft (at least for a while, do they still throw money at KI?)
Killer Instinct seems to be winding down, but the scene is still very much active. I don't doubt there will be a KI World Cup coming up.

after the game I was walking out of the casino and ended up behind punk, he had two older black guys with him giving him comfort. I suppose one of them could have been his dad... but knowing black people probably one of his many half brothers.

>>384256912
Akuma beats Ryu in SFV "neutral", and not just with air fireballs. Akuma also has big ability to convert off of pokes. Nobody in SFV has worse range than Ryu.

It's just good sportsmanship. He didn't even applaud for Tokido when he got his trophy. Just stood there with his hands behind his back pouting.

>>384261008

>>384248294
The teabagging stuff this year was really quite bad, and it really does go to show the divide in skill between players who taunt using actual mechanics, rather than the cheap and free method of just ducking repeatedly.

That alone is why Tokido won. His taunts, both the taunt kill and raging demon, weren't just an FU, they were also demonstrative of his overall skill and knowledge of the game, which just demoralized the shit out of Punk (who really lived up to his namesake).

>>384260724
People who don't realize why he's emotional are idiots who have no pride on themselves as even human beings.

>>384261008
He was too distraught. It's not like he was throwing a tantrum for losing like Zero did. The poor dude was simply in shock at that point.

Not to derail the thread but why do so many black people not have fathers? I'm black and both of my parents are still together 34 years after they married. Growing up, I noticed most of my black classmates didn't know their father. I honestly think most of them were complete assholes due to the lack of a father figure. Anyways, do black fathers just not want to commit or are black women that undesirable to be around for the long term? A decent amount of black men unfortunately end up in prison so I suppose that should be taken into account as well.

>>384254829
>>384254406
That's the double mind game, they won because you never think someone will throw 3 times in a row.

>>384261207
Deadbeat dads, some guy knocked a chick up one night at a party while drunk and fled the scene. Other main option is they're in prison for gang or drug crimes. Or if they're really gangbangers, probably just straight out dead.

>>384261207

That's why black people and Mexicans need to be deported down to a number where they can be evenly distributed throughout the US so they can pick up traditional, get a good job doing something you like, a nice house with a white picket fence, and find a marital partner instead of what they have for cultures now. Well that would be the case if it wasn't for the fact that whites are lazy retards who don't produce culture and deserve to be bred out.

>>384250819

Everyone in the room and on both commentary stations were hyping him up as America's last hope and placing YEARS of pressure on his shoulders to carry the US to an Evo win. It wasn't about Punk putting the best debut performance of any competitor since Evo even started, it was about another American getting slapped by a Japanese all-star. All this for an 18 year old who probably only touched his first tit last year.

It's natural to be upset. He needs a cooldown period and professionals in the community to assure him that pain is a teacher to everyone, but not everyone makes it to second place in the most competitive fighting game franchise in the world on their first outing. But of course reddit and twitter retards will call him a fraud.

He needs to understand that he cracked because he thought too much of what everyone else was saying. He choked and still put up a better performance than people twice his age have in their years of playing. He WILL be champion one day.

>>384260591

He counterpicked Itazan's Gief with Nash for the 3-0. In hindsight, he might have been better off sticking with Karin to be able to adapt.

>>384261207
I live in the hood and it's because these niggas have the most kids - with the dumbest EBT using chickenheads - so they make up most of the black population. It's literally idiocracy.

Makes everyone else look bad

Tangentially related, but do we all agree that Tokido vs Itazan was the best set of the Top 8? Until Itabashi did an unsafe followup from the vacuum, I had no idea where that last round would go.

>>384261770
>But of course reddit and twitter retards will call him a fraud.
No one is calling him a fraud. People are just calling him out for tilting and being salty at the end.

He cracked because he was getting played by Tokido. Then he went into his online warrior mindset and wouldn't take a timeout between sets.

>>384250819
He was a young boy who had a lot of pressure on him, going against one of the best fighting game players not just of street fighter, of all time. Tokido has an amazing talent as he's able to pick up a fighting game and be amazing at it. He may not be the defacto best, but he's a top player in any game he tries in. Even in that short time he played Marvel 3, he was still a force in that game.

Going back to Punk, this was his first time on the big stage, at THE tournament, going against a legend. Then he had all of America on his back with the constant "WIN FOR AMERICAN" and "USA USA USA" chanting and you have a what people call "demon" sitting right netx to you. Then when the match was going Tokido got into his head, but severly punishing his mishaps, killin him with a taunt and pulling off a raging demon. Tokido was not just fighting in the game, he was messing with his mind as well, and Punk just crumbled with the overwhelming amount of pressure on him. Not to mention Tokido is used to stuff like this and has literally been playing competitive video games before Punk was even born.

I just hope the dude doesn't give up after this because when you look at Punk's fundamentals, he's has some great talent within it, even if Street Fighter V is a "bullshit" game and "isn't as technical as previous entries"

>>384261653

he obviously has talent and footsies but he doesn't know how to react to the OG strats. like when tokido would whiff low short to bait out an attack so he could punish. He kept falling for it. Or just the way tokido was playing in general. He was playing a high level super turbo type shoto game that punk probably never really saw before.

>>384263132
transfer to OSU, I'm going to CC and only have another semester or two before I transfer, you could go to our locals in Columbus and we could play some games maybe

Funny telling other who won a loser when most people here hasn't win or done anything in their life. I guess shitposting is winning (you).

>>384262086
He wasn't really salty, salt would be the stuff ZeRo pulled after having his EVO trophy snatched away from him. All he did was express disappointment for himself for "letting people (and himself" cause it probably wasn't the first time and he was basically trying his best to prevent himself from just bawwing in front of hundreds of thousands of people. It's a lot of emotions that run through a man when they come so close to the gold and have it taken away from them because someone's will was stronger.

So did Tokido earn the win?

>>384263684
what do you think

Tokido destroyed the guy, not just in the game, but mentally as well.

>Get perfected right after the bracket gets reset
>And then he gets combo'ed with a taunt

He was done for. Tokido broke the poor lad. He had no more will to keep going. The dude was good at game, no doubt, but he has no experience with dealing with such pressure. It's not surprising at all that he tiled and choked so hard.

>>384263684
Yes. He's been fighting for it for decades. Punk was literally walking into fireballs by the end.

>>384263305

f2p is only a small part of the marketing puzzle

>>384263684
Absolutely. Made it to Top 8 in a huge stacked tournament and the only guy who was able to send him to Losers was the guy he defeated in Grand Finals. His play was incredibly smart, varied, and adaptive to his opponents. In Top 8 he beat:
>The best Sim
>The best Guile
>Arguably the best Gief
>Kazunoko
>Arguably the best Karin and one of the best young Street Fighter prodigies right now
That's not just top competition but a huge variety of playstyles that he overcame.

>>384250819
2nd place is first loser, you fucking sycophant.

Every competitor knows this and it's only lukewarm virgins like you who think "oh second place is still good". No. Second place is literal shit.

>>384263995
It takes a certain kind of mentality to ignore the bantz, especially in such a high stakes competition. Once someone gets inside your head like that then its pretty hard to shake them out.

>>384264153
No, he mixed his order of events up. Akuma's taunt in 5 is him slamming the ground after a long startup, but it has a hitbox that starts a juggle, so he used it after stunning Punk to get the kill.

In SFV Raging Demon can only be done in V-Trigger so it's even less common than his normal Super.

>>384264204

A close thing to a SF4 match would be 30 seconds of nothing but throwing bunch of fireballs, spending that meter, and going back to throwing fire balls.

No, he reopened his twitter last night saying he deleted it so he could eat in peace.

You're still bringing home prize money

Most people aren't Koreans/Chinese or they just have fortified their minds to that point yet.

>>384264974
Yes, and? Fact is you still didn't win. Furthermore, you really think FGC people care about money first of all? C'mon son. How deluded you can be?

I doubt many people here understand the feelings of becoming 2nd in a competition. It's mind-numbing. Especially if it's your first. Then again, we're on /v/.

You gotta realize its not always about the money.

People call it taunting because Tokido did them at the moments when Punk was stunned. Of course, Tokido could easily just end him with a simple combo, but he specifically chose to perform Akuma's taunt (which is him slowly slamming the ground causing his opponent to get knocked into the air to be combo'ed), and then later hit him with a raging demon. No doubt Tokido did this to take advantage of Punk's mental state as both of them know damn well it can effect how a player plays.

>SFV Top 8
>Akuma, Guile, Cammy, Chun Li, Nash, Karin, Zangief, Dhalsim. Literally everyone was bringing their own unique rep and playstyle
>Grand Finals was New Blood Prodigy vs. Grizzled Veteran that put his blood, sweat, and tears into winning

Can we just take a moment and admit SFV had the best showing this evo? Literally fall asleep during Blazblue. Melee was predictable. Glad to see SonicFox and ChrisG getting fist fucked.

Do you think before you type?

Nah he turned his twitter back on, just didn't want to "deal with" social media.

Can't blame him but I've heard nothing but bad things about him off stage, again its online shit so who cares but he seems like not a good

Punk seems like a spunky kid but I could tell it was over the minute Tokido reset bracket. He was literally within range of his stand and he had him in his rhythm ready for the kill.

I can 100% understand cracking under that kind of pressure in your first big showing like that. There are more factors at play than just in game mechanics. Tokido has literally been winning tourneys and playing fightan since before Punk was born (1999). If he commits, he'll grow

It was a good final no doubt

Right, plus Columbus is about one hour away from me so it all works out.

Those aren't spics, those are illegals. Totally different.

From this thread, you can see those who want to reach the top in whatever they do, and those who are fine with mediocrity.

I'm disappointed in the Injustice 2. It was just bunch of shitty matches exploiting the game mechanics.

>>384261651
He hugged Tokido literally a second after he lost.
