Tokido explains how he discovers strong characters so quickly after a game's release - interviews with Daigo, Mago, Justin Wong and more

While he was in Kuwait, Zhi caught up with many of the top players who attended the K.O. Fighting Festival event for a set of interviews. MCZ|Tokido has the first clip below, and he explains how he discovers strong characters so quickly after a game's release, noting that it's about acquiring information and opinions from various sources and compiling all of the data — and he likes to copy strategies and borrow ideas from other players.

Tokido said he hasn't had a lot of time with the new version of Street Fighter X Tekken yet, so he's going to play all of the characters and look for broken combinations, plus use frame data to look for strong block strings and setups. As of late, he's using the Vita version of SFxT to research strong characters and help decide his team, while he's killing time.

Important note: The videos which aren't in English all have been transcribed, but you need to hit the CC button while viewing them to see the translation.

To check out interviews with MCZ|Daigo, MCZ|Mago, EG|Justin Wong, DM|Xian and WW|Ryan Hart, hit the jump.

All videos from WhiteTowerQ8's YouTube channel via Tokido Blog. Also submitted by ShadowofMath.

Zhi should be an official interviewer for every major that takes place.

@ec0ec0

Should have mentioned to hit the CC button, as everything has been transcribed. The videos have complete English captions.

"Hyped up the Mango..." FGC soundbites are random and delicious. Zhi and Mago seem pretty chill together too.
