Despite the result ... Is great to see Daigo still in top shape ... He is always fun to watch, hopefully he can get a championship in the near future.

This is one of the best SFV final i've watched on this year! Punk and Daigo really at their best!

sometimes the video length is a huge spoiler but this match was intense till the last second

daigo proves that gaming at 37 years old is normal.

Both Punk and Daigo back in top form and it was an absolute joy to watch.

Punk is a monster. It is insane for someone so young to have so much mental composure. Amazing. People can hate but he's one of the best ever in SFV. Congratulations.

Incredible top 8!! Congratulations to all the players who made it to top 8, specially Daigo and Punk for this amazing grand finals. Daigo's aggressive Guile was so fun to watch, and Punk's recovery after losing to AngryBird's Zeku who he said he "had no clue what to do against" and also beating Haitani down to the last round last hit for both was spetacular! Many hype moments this weekend. Is it just me or every premier this years is just getting better than the last?

I would love to see a Daigo-Punk Kimonomichi. First to 10, and watch as these two geniuses with such creative and brilliant buttons try to figure each other out. Punk has gotten to the point where his mental game and self-doubt are really in control. Daigo remains the Kurosawa of Street Fighter. It's like trying to explain to your friends who simply don't get it why such films are so powerful and visually stunning, and, similarly, why Daigo's buttons are gutsy, beautiful, and interesting to watch. It's why you hear "He did what!" so much in the commentary. His is a style that, win or lose, people still try to replicate with little success. This is what most of the Japanese players get about him that so few of us do. It's why they still revere him, even if his record isn't what it used to be. So awesome to see.

Holy Mother of God, that was close. Daigo is back in form.

Those final matches were amazing. Seeing each player go back and forth, just when you think it's over the other player steps it up!

That was a treat for everyone watching. Absolutely amazing!

These have been some super amazing GF's as of late. My heart was pounding at the end because of how freaking close this set was.

I will never get tired of watching Punk play. He was so clutch when he absolutely had to be, what a sick top 8 run he had

Punk, this was so well deserved. Well done. Daigo amazing as always. This was a match between juggernauts, pantheons, kings, gods, beasts!

Best moment at 20:30 Daigo started off playing a perfect round and almost took the whole event right there. Punk played out of his mind for that comeback.

Me watching this for the 1st time in 2021 and up running around and cheering like I'm at the actual event. What a fkn riot

Wow, the last fights were so impressive that my heart was beating fast just by watching the two elite players fighting each other.

You can tell the crowd really wanted Daigo to win that. Big cheers when he did damage, silence when Punk came back. Tough.

As a Daigo fan, Punk definitely deserved this win. Well played.

2:35 when Daigo breathes like that you know it's not easy.

two genius from different generations

My respect to Punk wow such a great game he did over there, this is one of his best fight ever, I didn't like him before but he is a great, great player and I was hoping for him to win this one and he did, I was even nervous hahaha my respect to you Punk standing ovation, keep playing like that....

Something that i notice in top 8 was that Punk used more v-reversal and ex reversals on wake up than others players. That is right?

Punk is incredible. Every premeir he's coming into GF from losers side and every time he takes the first set winning the whole tourney 2 of the 3 so far.

Man, you just can't ever get tired of watching Daigo's wakeup EX Flashkick. So on point.

I just want everyone to realize that ALL Three SFV Premieres thus far for the Grand Finals has been USA vs Japan. Final Round 2019 Punk vs Momochi Nor Cal Regionals 2019 Punk vs Tokido MixUp 2019 Punk vs Daigo All three, Punk has been in Grand Finals while we've had Three different Legends from Japan making it there. This is just absolutely ridiculous.

Another amazing grand finals, my god, these guys are KILLING IT, seriously Kudos to both Punk and Daigo, they play the hell out of it.

Absolutely 🔥🔥🔥 set

one of the best finals ive seen. superb play

I love seeing Diago use a more aggressive Guile. I use the same style and throw a lot of people off like that

Daigo's anti-air jab was so on point. Even crouching AA jab the last match, so good

The commentary was GODLIKE

I want to see Daigo get back from this stronger, if he continues to use VT2 then he should "optimize" it just like the rest of the top character specialists (Tokido, Punk, Fujimura, PX, etc. etc.)

Punk makes it seem so easy to punish booms.

Showing some love for daigo Great job beast

Daigo is becoming a god once again if he performs like this from now on every competitor should be worried.

Two greats of the game slugging it out, what a match! 👊🏻

20:28 daigo had it. He could have went in with a sweep punish there. Prob should not have risked the side swap in the first place for the cross up and held the corner but he definitely could have won with that side swap there.

My 2 favorite players = and epic match

Greatest come back I ever seen in SFV

Why are Daigo's matches so fun and hype.

If you can see That Punk went through 3 videos of his matches in a row to win The Mixup. I applaud that man. 👏👏👏

Don't tell me punk isn't one of the two best players on earth right now.

Daigo is amazing and your Guile is fun to watch. Facing Karin with Guile is difficult but he did a good job. Congratulations to Punk who's been having a great year so far.

Punk really put on a great show, congrats!

I thought Punk was done for the way that first round of the last game played out. Congrats on the win, though I would have been much happier had Daigo pulled it off. Punk is the man to beat, yet again.

If daigo is in grand finals you know its gonna be lit.

It's crazy how the pros actually play like the players. I can see literally Karin winning that match story wise. She's super legit

This is 2016 punk, winning everything again. When all is said and done I think he'll be the best of all time in SFV. Him or Tokido.

So cool to see these two Masters of this game go at it like in a good Chinese Martial Arts movie!! Reminds me of the last fight in Jet Li's Black Mask movie! Just blow-for-blow and u can't tell who'll win until it's over! 💥😀👍🏾👍🏾💥

If you nerf Punk's hit confirm ability just a bit, he would've lost at this match and you gotta give him that. Even Bonchan's Karin hit confirm isn't as good as Punk's but still really great.

Yo I was on the edge of my seat. GO PUNK!!!!!!

EGUA DO JOGO, PARABENS...QUE PARTIDA MEUS AMIGOS!! VLW CAPCOM FGHT

punk is an absolute mad man wtf

Walking Daigo part 2.

Daigo had all the advantage in the works n punk still won! Let's go baby 🇺🇸

Que luta, meu amigo! Uma das melhores desse ano.

Anybody know if pink was using pad here?

Punk is the best player this year. Has made the final in three premier events and won two out three.

Punk owns daigos soul now.

Tremendo combate, queria que ganara Daigo, pero le falto muy poco. Bien Punk , alto nivel con Karin.

Great event, great top 8 commentary guys 👍

20:36, OMG so close for Daigo to win his first top tournament. Im still waiting for Daigo to make a comeback in SF V. Great Match.

Punk is on a role here. The man is going to be light up 2019 if he keeps playing like this. Ever since he is on a new team, it looks like the old Punk is back.

Crowd chanting "Daigo! Daigo!" and going dead quiet whenever Punk does damage. That's a crowd that earned their disappointment.

Ok. Let me be mr objective. Guys. This is 2019. I notice people in the FGC have a habit of putting on nostalgia glasses too much instead of embracing the future. Daigo will always be a legend and it was a tremendous showing from him today, but let’s embrace the current legend that is Punk the alpha. Don’t come with the excuses of “Karin” and all that cause this man punk has all the fundamentals down pact and doesn’t use yolo tactics. Despite the lack of a tremendous update, it’s undeniable that the cpt 2019 for SFV has been amazing so far. Let’s just enjoy.

Daigo was definitely feeling the pressure, much more so than Punk by the looks of it. But it's great to see him keep his composure despite losing those early rounds

Daigo is amazing

so intense...

Best set of SFV imo. When punk is in the zone like this, he’s unstoppable. Literally ridiculous!

What a run from daigo honestly

Amazing amazing amazing 👌🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥

@20:43 is the most clutch I've ever seen! wow!

I think one of the reason why Daigo decided to try this aggressive approach for Guile is because he would rather simply use normal for anti-air than crouching there all day long. Less flash-kicks was found in Daigo's recent matches due to this.

I'm so Damn glad punk is on his season 2 flow again 🙏🏾🔥

Combate de gigantes!! Fortes emoções e muitos vacilos!! Parabéns Punk por mais essa vitória! !👏👏👏👏

Daigos randomness plus the skills to play the game is genius.. Makes you think twice about every

Intense. Gg fellas

Punk really had Daigo's number on this match up

Both my favorite but I must stand by Punk as we’re Murcia! With that said, I have so much respect for the beast Daigo!

Punk ta jogando muito. Esse ano ele ta na melhor fase

My god that was an amazing match.

Best match I've seen

Congrats to Punk... Well played Daigo.

Not the outcome I was hoping for, but amazing game from both. Punk just got so many of the early conversions down quickly. If Daigo is going to play like this from this point on, it would be a good year for everyone.

Every Punk's ex tenko was so crazy

You ever notice how every time a non-Japanese player gets really really great with a character, people say they should be nerfed? 🤔😂😂 happens every time I swear.

Legendary match

wow that was amazing!

i think Punk be losing on purpose so he can come back and silence the crowd

I really need to see som FT10s in this game especially involving daigo

Daigo was very impressive!

the amount of real estate these guys can share eye to eye without blinking is amazing

Wow! Whoa! What a set!

That Zeku that ate up punk kept using the teleport and perfect counters. Punk better practice against Zekus before the next tournament. Well done against Daigo who was playing out of his mind.

How come daigo doesnt tech when punk was grabbing like crazy

That was such an awesome match

Foi um torneio incrível, mas confesso que fiquei um pouco chateado com o resultado. Torci pelo Daigo e ele merecia essa vitória, mas é bom vê-lo em uma final de qualquer forma

The Diago ass kissing is too much for me! The announcers sound more like fanboys than the people in the comments section.

ending was hype!
