Seems odd to have an article about age and Esports that mentions Tokido, aged 36, but not Daigo ‘The Beast’ Umehara, aged 40, who has been crushing Street Fighter variants for (almost) decades, including returning to dominance after a brief retirement to play mahjong. I just couldn’t miss an relevant opportunity to plug my favorite gamer - he is a blast to watch live and has loads of content on Youtube.
For those who don't know who that is but know even a little about the fighting game community, he's the guy behind EVO moment 37, the legendary perfect parry into super; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzS96auqau0
There are a bunch of analysis videos on youtube about how vast his game knowledge is and how quick and precise his reaction time is to perform this maneuver. Very similar to moment #37, just years later.
