Tokido’s Word on Akuma Coming to Street Fighter V: “Finally.”

Tokido drops the murderface to have a friendly post-Red Bull Battle Grounds chat with Matt Edwards of Capcom. Though he expresses a little frustration over coming in second to Liquid|NuckleDu, he compliments his fellow World Warrior on his knowledge of the Ryu-Guile matchup. He also has commendations for RB, who he says is “the best” Urien he’s come across and ANBU|Punk for making use of his experience playing online work for him in the tournament environment.

Most Street Fighter fans know Tokido for his play as the Raging Demon, but he voiced some recommendations he has for potential Ryu adjustments and whether his experience with the character can lead him to victory in the upcoming Capcom Cup. Going back and forth from Japanese to English, he had quite a bit to say, but when he was asked about what he thought about the Akuma reveal trailer he answered with only one word: “Finally.”
