After winning last week’s screenshot caption contest, onreload chose to nominate this “bizarre finals match between Tokido (a fantastic Chun-Li player) and Tottori (a great Ryu).”
players: Tokido (Sean-SA1) vs Tottori (Alex-SA2/Makoto-SA1/Ryu-SA1)
observations:
“Tokido uses Sean, and Tottori uses Alex. After match 1, Tottori goes back to his Ryu, but Tokido sticks it out with a beastly Sean. My favorite moment is at 0:58 when Sean backthrows Alex into the corner, but Tokido, realizing he has 0 vital AND 0 pressure possibility with Sean, backs away slowly…” – onreload

Errr I meant after match 2 (Sean/Makoto), Tottori uses his main character, Ryu. Also, the announcer seems to be having a great (albeit distorted) time. Thanks for posting.
Tokido using Sean? Did the galaxy just explode or was this a tournament where bullshit was banned?
Great set!
3:06 was priceless… Sean is chilling out getting some bar and wins with no extra effort whatsoever. And exactly one minute later (4:06) he wins with c.MP again!
3 throws in a row starting at 7:02 must have seriously pissed Tottori off. :P
Wait is this the same Tokido that did a Shun Goku Satsu at SoCal?
Indeed it is. Another SF Renaissance Man
