BornFree unearths Tokido’s “I Body Him” quote from Red Bull Kumite 2015

It is the personality of the players that make up the most important and exciting parts of fighting game tournaments. We’re in an age now where, thanks to subscriber walls and non-archived footage, we risk losing moments of hype and/or hilarity.

BornFree submits this recently scavenged Tokido clip for Red Bull Kumite 2015 as an example of both.

Evo 2017 is just around the corner, and soon plenty of players will get their chance to cut a memorable moment the way Tokido did here. Let’s hope they have the same ease and charisma he displayed at the Red Bull Kumite.
