So many thanks

Hell yeah that was awesome!!

That sht was trash. Infiltration would made these guys look free. Infiltration is the GOAT in SFV. Capcom bann the best player in SFV, which is such a shame.

@@kelvin303 Why did he get banned?

@@thehillza They didn’t give him a reason. Everyone assumes it’s because of the domestic violence case he had a few years ago, which his girlfriend at the time falsely accused him of being an abuser. Capcom banned him 2 years which he patiently waited and he was still investing time to play pro in their own game, then Capcom sent him a notice stating that he is permanently bann from all tournaments. This is what happens when Capcom and other companies take control of the competitive scene that people created. They bann the best players, filipino champ, and Infiltration to name a few. No trash talking, no best players, trash events, community has less control, games become water down etc.. Infiltration is still the GOAT though

@@kelvin303 I didn't even know it was like this nowadays. Thats really terrible, FChamp brought so much fun to the events with his trash talk. How can I filtration be banned from all events if he has been proven innocent........... it's a real shame the age we live in ag the moment.

Evo 2015 is better

This was a great one, but EVO 2017 will always have a special place in my heart.

Sorry but if infiltration is not in the tournament then all these wins don’t count.

@@kelvin303 bad take.

I feel like it was probably less hype than previous Evos or Combo Breakers. And there seemed to be way more drops and whiffs than I remember in the past

Against daigo it was quite close actually close... Daigo is the only guy who can play according to any play style even at his age🙏

I know he got a lot of miles from His command grabs but I think he should have stopped after he kawano back dashed the 2nd one last round

Ryan Hart beat Idom in pools. That's why he was in the losers bracket from the start of top 8.

Anyone know who put Idom in losers bracket?

@@275dpr Look at my comment above yours. Ryan Hart beat Idom in pools. Dudes a beast.

Oh shnap, yeah now that you mentioned it. It pretty much was lol. This was probably the most intense SFV grand finals, and also an extremely good way to end SFV too.

The new generation is proving to be better than the veterans, this fact occurred in other EVO 2022 games.

I'm glad for the jokes too. "Daigo, put under the bridge,like a troll"

Same! I’ve never been either but am definitely interested in going!

Same, I'm going next year no doubt.

Its fun the after parties are amazing as well

yea with that cheapass controller and command grabs 😂

Sorry but if infiltration is not in the tournament then all these wins don’t count

Bro thank god, I can't stand Americans winning they won't shut up about it. They are literally people on twitter saying Idom is better than Kawano even now. Kawano adapted perfectly in the last set, read all his command throws with v shift. Also Americans dont realize that Japan didn't even send all their best players, Momochi/fuudo/Bonchan/Fujimura many more. Tokido did get destroyed by Idom but I dont know why he didn't just play Luke.

@@tamim3319 goodness calm down

@@tamim3319 I find Tokido's Luke kind of boring. And I think the Japanese players didn't lab Laura because they consider her "low/mid tier" and so, even with these other players, Idom would destroy as it did. clearly they had no answers for Idom's Laura. MAYBE it could be different if Idom used Poison because Fuudo's Poison is strong. Anyway, Kawano showed great adaptability and knew how to take advantage of being in winner's side. And Idom showed great reads and great mind control. daigo, tokido and gachikun are still trying to use their hands on their own. 😄😄 Can't wait to see them in the Capcom Cup.

@@tamim3319 If Tokido went Luke, iDom would have went Poison. Zoners do well against Luke.

@@thenewmissinglink8501 I mean Tamim has a point. Remember when Punk was talking trash and saying no one can touch the U.S? Then during the 10 v 10 against EU. EU basically dismantled the U.S. team.

And both of them taken out by Idom, Idom steamrolling guys.. totally underrated

i know this is unreasonable. but i feel a pang of personal offense when the OGs are defeated. "These punk-cheater kids today..." ;) as I get older, I understand that I need to operate a bit differently in life. you have less mental flexibility (meaning the ability to change approach at will and to DEAL with dramatic changes coming at you). so, basically, you need to train to use your increased stillness of mind; look at aspects of wisdom, using your age to your advantage. Pride and ego are pitfalls of young and old. but, imo, planning benefits older people much more than younger people because, when you're young, you can 'wing it' a TON easier (in many different ways).

@@JohnPedder and then idom lost to a guy both tokido and daigo have been beating for years. The old heads are monsters man

@@pogoacct8611 You haven't watched recently Kawano is the best JPN player

@@TheWorldisInfinite hes the best japan player "right now". Ive been watching the scene for years. Kawano was getting his ass kicked for the vast majority of his time playing sfv

Exactly

whoa, that is some efficient resource management

Chen is cringe, fgc needs to move on from him

@@fwef7445 the cringe is one thing, but for me its his voice. He always sounds like a chain smoker or sum

I don’t like James Chen’s voice either but he always seems more informed and on point with his analysis than the other commentator. He knows his shit.

@@windmillCrack nah ski sonic has the worst voice. Yipes has to be my favorite

@@fwef7445 when he makes that shriek/yell noise when daigo flash kicks… it’s not good These are not the best sfv commentators atm

Cheap hero

Too cheap

Sorry but if infiltration is not in the tournament then all these wins don’t count

I hope SF6 has Cammy as finally top tier. I love her, Chun-li and Juri but you never see them at Evo.

His Laura is unreal

He was knocked down to losers before top 48. Legendary run.

@@rubberducky1356 iDom deserved a second prize. For his outstanding fighting.

The man beat Me Crimson, Daigo, Tokido, Gotchakun 👀lol, then Kawano 4 games straight. NYC says yea he Deff Won. Who else can say they ran that gauntlet?💪💪🦾🦾

Infiltration would’ve made all these guys look Free. Capcom bann the best player in SFV FGC, which is such a shame from Capcom..

Made a lot of mistakes in the last two fights, think the pressure got him at the end, he deserved 1st place imo.

It's amazing Daigo still making to top 8 at his age.

Sad we couldn't get a Daigo vs Tokido match to close out the last EVO for SFV (probably) but hey, still a great top 8!

Arigato

@@quanthinh3487 what does age have to do with anything..it’s a video game..it’s not like he’s playing a physical sport 😂🤣😂

@@MarcusM334 its a brain sport like chess. Also,the older you get,the worse your reaction time. Wich is important in FGs

And that's how you get spoiled by the top comment without even making comments appear thanks to RU-vid new layout.

@@cellP8 i didn't come (yeah I'm the same person another account). This is (was?) the top comment and it appeared automatically as the top answer on the RU-vid app. I litteraly did nothing and got spoiled for no reason as I stated on my previous comment.

I'm starting to hate Luke. I see him too much and he is not a cool character.

Horrible tournament

​@kokayinewsome9308 This is the funniest comment even a year later because the comment you're replying to had nothing to do with Luke and we only saw Luke for 1 set this entire Top 8

When you lean too much on an unga character

Glad this game is over. It's terrible

​@@last7509Were you just not aware of the dozens of other games you could have been playing? Nothing was stopping you from just not playing/watching SFV if you didn't want to.

Without a doubt, consistency is why he’s one of the goats not only in sf but fighting games in general.

He got greedy 🙄 he could have provided way more better pressure than that

@@skipfuego6339 you definitely knew what idom should have done to beat the evo champ

@Skip Fuego armchair gamer lol

sf5 was trash from start to finish, vastly inferior to usf4, this game was a mistake and spent its whole life trying to play catch up, definite sony bias for it to be on 2nd last when it had far less viewers in pools than either tekken or gg

This game is junk af and always will be. 6 years and still zero hype on me.

@@eluard9238 I don't think it's an amazing game or anything, but if you hate it that much and you're here that's just sad.

@@fwef7445 far less bro that is fuckin cap and it had more than tekken at top 8 so what are u saying? Most people viewing said it was the hypest top 8. LOL and usf4 was trash even daigo said it was trash. who are u again?

@@SharkWithFreakinLaserBeam bro

Sorry but if infiltration is not in the tournament then all these wins don’t count

@@kelvin303 I understand where you’re coming from, hopefully infiltration will be more active in SF6 with Juri having her dive kick back

Bruh how did pandemic hurt gaming…..

At this point in his career it feels like Daigo has become Roger Federer. A player who most everyone likes and cheers for and wants to see win, but might now be surpassed by the next generation of great, young players. Daigo still has the talent to get far in tournaments, but it seems like the best players will likely get the best of him most times now.

shout out to the fact that Idom was in all three of those sets, lmao. guys built different

Please he’s Free to the likes of Infiltration. If Infil was playing he wouldve lost before grandfinals so would IDOM. Smh, FGC banns the best players

Kawano using Kolin is God mode, dude. I love it when people play characters others call weak and yet they win with them.

@@kelvin303 why was Infiltration ban?

@@kokayinewsome9308 same with Laura. She’s considered low tier in Japan

@@dujuanjohnson5025 but she's the fastest grappler other than Mika

its laura, they practically didnt play the game they could only guess lmao

@Jim Crawford Y’all focus too much over the “Region vs Region”, NA vs JP vs EU, thing in the FGC, instead of just respecting a player for who he is instead of where he’s from. I don’t really care about that since I don’t live in any of the high profile FGC country.

@@untitled.18 People will do anything to cope with an underdog slaughtering their favorites. Ignore the haters and support the gamers doing their best to bring us this amazing entertainment. This top 8 was solid, start to finish.

I have watched all Topanga season this year, literally you can't play footsies with Kawano he will destroy you. Thats why Idom's gameplay was impressive he was doing really well in neutral vs Kawano without almost any jump ins. Kawano didn't make Topanga finals, he lost to John Takeuchi in a close set but it felt more like character difference than player difference. I think another big reason why Idom did well vs the JApanese players is that they don't have any pro player who plays Laura so they have no experience vs it.

@@tamim3319 Infiltration would’ve made all these players look free. Also Fchamp would’ve did great as well. Too bad the FGC bann the best players

@@kelvin303 Ya Infiltration looked good before covid, he had few years where he was very weak due to bad characters.

@@tamim3319 Infiltration can play almost any character and destroy the competition. What’s even more awesome about him is he plays low tier characters, and shows everyone he can still dominate

Crowd was dick riding idom too much

No deserving championship wins just earning them

But Kawano kicked his ass even with all the dick riders in the crowd

Indeed!

100% agree. Kawano was amazing, but Idom put his heart and soul into making it to the finals. He had so many greats to go through to get there.

he cant be mvp if he lost at the end.

That's true！めちゃワクワクさせられた〜！ pc版での日本勢との対戦が見たくてしょうがないよ！

He good, but Kawano better

Nah Infiltration would’ve made him look free. Infiltration is the GOAT of SFV FGC.

I wish I could have that mindset. But he lost while at his absolute peak. He would have won the last game if he was better. You cant really make a winners argument either because he still got sent to losers first. The most you can say. Is that NA surpassed the former JP peak. But the new generation of JP players are still the best. Smug and Punk specifically dropped the ball. Because the tournament would have went much differently if Smug had beaten Kawano. And Punk was the best in the world at one point. The challenge of having to fight Daigo, Tokido, and Gachikun back to back just to make it into Grand Finals is insane. And I don't think anyone in the world other than Kawano could have made that come back.

@@mee091000 I disagree. That final round was basically as close as it could possibly be. Kawano doesn't make that final read to get the crush counter, and this would've been a different conversation. It doesn't really matter that he got sent to losers side. That was an insane run he went on to reach the Grand Finals. Crimson, Daigo, Tokido, Gachikun. And then still beat Kawano (which officially moved Kawano to losers as well). And that's the thing -- that first set already proved he could beat him, and he was that close to doing it twice. I'm not downplaying Kawano at all because he certainly earned his championship, but it's not always the best team/player that wins in any sport, hence why you don't see a bunch of undefeated streaks all over the place. It should also be noted that IDOM usually mains Poison, who's a higher tier character than Laura. I will agree that JP has NA beat overall though.

He has won so many tournaments this year already. Overall, he is still number one

@@JJRegal4 nah. Kawanos won against bigger names than Idom in the last year. Kawanos better

@@pogoacct8611 ...I mean, iDom won against bigger names than iDom lol. And if it came down to another set between him and Kawano, I'd honestly back the former.

Hey I’m sorry to hear that man

Get back in there man! Your friend would want it that way.

@@kayjay5414 I actually played CVS2 on dreamcast with a work friend today. I got goosebumps, I had a great time. Thank you.

Ya Gachikun tried to play footsie with him first 2 games and lost hard. Then he went yolo jumpy mode and it worked well.

Smug almost beat him to make top 8 it was mad surprising

I'm not. Screw Laura. 😂👍

So bummed I can't believe you post spoilers

Idom is nothing without V-Trigger. Dude is a joke.

@@mecharidley u dumb? U think he beat daigo , tokido , kawano first set and mister crimson BY HAVING A V TRIGGER???? dud has a capcom cup under his belt

@@mecharidley ayo you better stop talking about maboy like that ma dawg

Yes, this is a huge YES

Need a meme with him/ Laura on a steam roller

Perfecto

Don't set this comments you have spoiled me the entire video since the very beginning because with no reason youtube showed me this by default.

The unchangeable script. 🤣 IDOM was real fuckin' close tho, more so than Punk was during his match against Tokido on the Grand Finals before. Mad propds to IDOM for putting on such an amazing show dismantling the entire losers bracket and coming literally milimiters away from the championship.
