Tokido said in one of his video that Zangief definitely is in favor vs Akuma. Particular this match up, Akuma's low health show significant difference due to three interactions (or spd) to completely decimate Akuma, when standard character can take four interactions.
Online gameplay and EVO are totally different worlds. It all depends on matchups but overall he may need more time with akuma before he can really turn back into the murdaface tokido
Hopefully Daigo does a rematch against Tokido. Last video I watched of their Akuma mirror matches, Daigo won most of them. Wonder if Daigo is actually the new best Akuma.
They gonna need to buff his hp it's insane once touch and like 60% gone and he isn't even that op his air fireball easy af to jump over and drive rush doesn't go anywhere and uber slow
@@davidm2418 Remember Tokido was not always the best Akuma, Infiltration was the best akuma in SFIV, Tokido was using akuma in SFIV too but no one ever say Tokido was the best akuma then. Tokido was the best akuma in SFV only so gettign salty cause someone say "Tokido is not the best akuma" is pretty stupid as Tokido was not the best akuma for like 95% of his career."
@@EliosMoonElios Huh? All I said was that it is arguably true that TS is currently better than Tokido, but the bigger point was that it's too early to even discuss best because of how new the character is for this version of SF. That's not a claim that Tokido will be the best Akuma, nor was it a claim he ever was the best Akuma. It is merely an observation that people are making Akuma player tier lists after like a month after this SF6 version dropped, and that's dumb. All the serious players are in the lab right now focusing on getting to know frame data and combo opportunities. None of them care at this point who's leading ranking.
