Crazy how tokido English has improved over the years, it's so fluent now.

[joedelafro]

Bro the fact people like J Wong do this and push their YouTube's so much bring value to the FGC. Thanks Justin.

[no-wrxb]

Didn't expect you to do one of these with a Japanese player, much less Tokido. Thanks Justin, this is one of the most entertaining FGC youtube channels right now.

[hurthealmedia]

Tokido proves you can be studious, fit and a great gamer.

Justin, your channel is killing it. It is awesome to hear Tokido's thoughts and insights.

Guys if you liked watching them talk, I just wanna remind you Tokido also recently interviewed Justin.
Make sure to check that out as well.

[dlbarnes]

Enjoying the interview, Tokido is humble and mad respect for the brother. Thank you once again good sir

[dudebfg]

Fucking legend

[davose]

“Old game was broken” made me chuckle, Tokido seems like a genuine dude.

[LOLHICRONO]

good stuff as always, also a lot of respect to tokido for getting comfortable enough with english to do interviews like this.

[resolutelament]

Tokido just has the greatest personality and is so humble and chill, I root for him anytime he's in a tournament. Such a cool dude! More great interviews Justin!

[marval]

I'm glad Tokido has improved his english this much. I hope he starts streaming in english as well.

[Genkaku]

Also love the fact that KOFXIII is his favourite fighting game which shows he has never forsaken his roots

[sheikhu]

Till Sako retires they'll never give up, great line from Tokido

[jrakewithaj]

I can't wait for the next interview with Tokido because this wasn't in a bed

[thecclan]

Tokido is seems like a super chill dude. That’s my goat
