GO1 Brings (and Sings) The Hits at Canada Cup Series Following DBFZ Wins
By Jeff Kotuby ·
Goichi "GO1" Kishida cemented himself as the best Dragon Ball FighterZ player on the planet by defeating NYChrisG in the Canada Cup Master Series DBFZ Finals. Afterwards, he showed talents of a different kind that you'll have to see to believe.
To say Goichi “CO|GO1” Kishida has dominated Dragon Ball FighterZ since its release is an understatement. GO1 is 98-1 in Dragon Ball FighterZ tournaments since the game came out. No competitor in any activity comes close to the level of domination Goichi has shown in this game. He continued his domination this past weekend at the Canada Cup Master Series, where he ran through another DBFZ tournament, finally defeating Chris "NYChrisG" Gonzales in another dominating set in Grand Finals. It was afterwards that he showed off another talent in honor of the classic anime series.
During their match-up, Goichi’s overwhelming skill caused Chris to hit the Options button during another long combo, sealing the victory. In fighting game tournaments, hitting the Pause” or “Options” button is seen as a sign of concession, but can happen accidentally. However, it is up to the opposing player whether or not to accept the concession and take the game or keep playing. Chris chose to bow out after the press, congratulating Goichi graciously on the win.
Afterwards, Goichi brought out another one of his many talents, as he sang the theme songs to the popular anime series Dragon Ball Z and One Punch Man after fans reached a Matcherino goal.
HEADPHONE/OFFICE DISCLAIMER: GO1 hits the high note here for the One Punch theme, so turn your volume down.
Clearly, GO1 had a full weekend of impressive performances around the board.
These “Anime Karaoke” bits could have been inspired by a report earlier this month that GO1 was told, “Tournaments without you were so much more fun,” causing him to consider quitting tournaments. We’re not saying Goichi needs to perform for the FGC at every tournament, but perhaps showing a bit of his personality would go a long way to show doubters within the community what most of us already know - that any event GO1 attends is awesome.
P.S. if he wants to ever perform Pegasus Fantasy at an event, We’d pony up some dough to a donation drive in order to sing it with him.
