The two are in a bit of a friendly rivalry
Tokido and LeShar are in something of a friendly rivalry right now. Fans were amazed when it was announced that LeShar would be joining Yogibo REJECT along with Tokido, Akira, and Torimeshi.
Since then, the two have developed a close relationship and coupled with their great performances in Street Fighter League Japan, the two seem unstoppable.
After his remarkable win at the CPT super premier, Tokido was asked about the relationship between the two to which he said that they are both training with one another and it was that training that really helped him out. They would train for 7 days a week and Tokido has in that time lost a lot to LeShar. But, the result was in Tokido's favor this time.
It seems clear that even the potential of facing each other at Capcom Cup will not in any way stop Tokido training with LeShar and the two are only going to level each other up.
Meanwhile, in other amusing news, Nemo just can't catch a break. The Street Fighter 6 pro player, who is well known for his hatred of grapplers, especially Zangief, was pranked during the CPT.
Apparently, someone presented him with a gift. It was a Grapht metal badge which usually features a character. Unfortunately, you don't know what badge you get until you open it and in Nemo's case, he opened it to find a badge of Zangief.
He took to social media to ask that people stop doing this as his hate for the character only makes things like this distressing.
Unfortunately for Nemo, it is unlikely to stop.
