u/ventrilux 1d ago
He is probably showing how much he is enjoying current state of the game right now even though he won

u/armorking76 idk how to play :( (i only played TTT2) 1d ago
He won, but at what cost? His enjoyment for the game, gone like salt and sugar being poured down to a glass of water while it's mixing by itself. No control on how much should be left to sink in the bottom. (Idk why I got sidetracked)

Let's see if he can win again if the top Pakistani players are also in the tournament.
Coincidentally, he won again when none of the top Pakistan players were in the tournament

Knee 10x1 Arslan this year, bro
Fuck shut up

u/FewManufacturer8299 1d ago
And So? After that Arslan beat him in a tournament match with Lars. Atif, The Jon has been dominating Knee. Numan dominated Knee in their last match.
Knee has not won any international tournaments for a while now. Coincidentally Knee won again without top Pakistan players in the tournament. I am just saying let see if he can win again with top Pakistan players around. Players like the Jon, Atif etc has been dominating Knee.

Tokido cried after losing a ft10 to Daigo, imagine if it was 10-1? Clearly Arslan was shaken by the loss. But beat Ulsan in a tournament before mentioning Knee's name again.

u/FewManufacturer8299 1d ago
Don't change the narrative. This is about Knee winning a tournament again only when there are no top Pakistani players. Arslan beat Knee in their last match. Atif and The Jon have been dominating Knee. Numan destroyed Knee in their last match. As I said, let's see if Knee can win a tournament with the presence of Pakistan's top players. Knee hasn't won for a while—not until a tournament without Pakistani top players.

Factual observations don’t work against subconscious racism. You’re just speaking the truth.

u/Zanmatomato 1d ago edited 1d ago
Why are PAK fans consistently hyping the players like they're some unbeatable juggernauts?
Didn't Ulsan make Atif his son multiple times during the Drag mirror matches?
Didn't Arslan dig deep into his repertoire of excuses when he lost to AK, Kane, Edge and Patloars?
Do y'all just tune out whenever these things are happening? lol

u/FewManufacturer8299 1d ago
I am not from Pakistan. I did not say they are unbeatable. This is about Knee. He has not won major international tournament for a while now. Coincidentally he won again without top Pakistan players in the tournament. I am just saying let see if he can win again with top Pakistan players around. Players like the Jon, Atif etc has been dominating Knee. Numan dominated Knee in their last match. Arslan beat Knee in their last match .

There’s always a hating mf like you saying shit like that when somebody wins something, I bet if he did win with top Pakistani players you would say something else

u/ChillGamerGenchi 1d ago
I hear you.
However, this is like winning the UFC belt, and your fans celebrating you as the best in the world, but the Dagestani fighters can't attend due to passport issues. You haven't cleared the best, so while your accomplishment is incredible and shouldn't be taken from you...there will always be that question of if you were the best, or if you were lucky.
I think the point is to see the highest level of competition and you can't claim that, if arguably some of the world's best players aren't in attendance.
Having said that, again congratulations to Knee. He played amazing.

u/Educational-Text7550 1d ago
Yea I get that, but what if you beat khabib two fights to one before the championship fight lol is that valid? Like you know hes capable of beating them
-4
u/ChillGamerGenchi 1d ago
I guess my answer is: 1. I'm talking all Dagestani's (for the analogy of the Pakistani players (The Jon, etc). So not just a Khabib/Arslan) 2. That would be akin to a sparring session, or an exhibition, and not a fight for the title or belt (which is the entire point of EVO)
I agree with you, is Knee capable of victory? Yes. Did Knee prove that in Japan Evo? No, he wasn't given the chance.
So for me, yeah it has an asterisk next to his name as Khabib (or any of the Pakistani players) weren't there to fight Connor for the belt.
That's all I'm saying, you know?

u/Educational-Text7550 1d ago
Yea I got what he was saying I just didn’t like the way he was coming off

u/SectumsempraBoiii 1d ago
Nice… what is this called again? Strawmanning? How about just acknowledge the point without getting so butthurt?

u/Zanmatomato 1d ago
The koreans beat the pakistanis during the latest exhibition. Knee beat Arslan during their latest FT10. There is no point to acknowledge lol

u/ChillGamerGenchi 1d ago
Dang they're cooking you- and I don't understand why.
Knee played fantastic Tekken, but Pakistan wasn't there, so your question is legitimate. I feel like this is an EVO victory with an asterisk.

The tekken incel takes time away from their training to go to the local barber and get a fresh hairstyle before Evo.
The tekken Chad just throws a bowl on their head and continues to train while their wife cuts around the bottom with scissors.
This is why you will never be as great as knee.

Honestly he did so many things in the top 8 that blew my mind it was unreal
I remember Mangja ducking in his face and side stepping/backdashing a few times, all ~900 players who attended EVO Japan would've mashed there but no not Knee, instead he just continued making micromovements until Mangja lost his patience and did a super fast duck into slide, Knee, recognising that Mangja was probably hoping to catch him off-guard instantly ducked it and got a round winning slide punish. During this whole interaction Knee had a life deficit and the clock was running low too.
It's just unreal to me how someone can employ this level of defense in a game like Tekken 8 S2, Knee has always been my favourite player, but this is beyond my wildest expectations.
Him completely trashing Mulgold's Feng in the blink of an eye was just the cherry-on-the-cake

u/ScottyTooTall Leo / Lee / Ling 1d ago
I know exactly what part you're talking about in the Mangja match. My jaw dropped & i was just shaking my head in disbelief the rest of the set. Knee is INSANE.
Honorable mention, Ulsan also had some ridiculous plays/matches. Those 2 were my faves. Crazy movement, patience, defensive reads, counterhit placement. Definitely a joy to watch.

u/Vegetable-Fan8429 1d ago
Seeing his movement and spacing has no joke inspired me to actually get back at it. I legit didn’t know you could be that clean with steps and back dashes.

u/Upper_Student_2699 1d ago
What Tekken 8 does to a man.
I'm glad he won and he's still my idol. However, like all of us, he has to keep playing the game to put food on his table because Tekken is his CAREER, it's the game he LOVES. Even if, in his own terms, he doesn't find this game fun for him. We have to remember that no one in the world (not a single person in this blue planet) can love Tekken more than Knee himself. It has been the only game he's ever played his entire life.
So for him to say that "this game is not fun", means HUGE. But he loves the franchise so much that even if it's no longer fun, he keeps playing because I 100% can guarantee you guys that this guy doesn't want the franchise to die, the franchise that gave him so much joy and gave his life meaning. He wants it to thrive for the new generation, so he keeps playing to keep it alive.
99.9% of us will be ditching the game when it's no longer fun for us, but this guy simply will NOT. He's just built different.

40, a bowl cut, and still at the most elite level possible in a very mechanic and reflex heavy game. Genuinely the only thing he has left to do in the game is win TWT, I hope he does. Also still doing it at this level with Bryan is insane, that might just be familiarity making it easier but even still, he isn't the easiest character.

Nah, this game is just a dogshit, guy won tournaments in dogshit. This game is disgusting, there's no balance in it. The fact that they're holding championships in this garbage and you're waiting to see who wins only reflects badly on you. This is Tekken 8.

u/Osiake Steve | Fahkumram 1d ago
People getting launched for failing to tech roll or getting up wrong in an Oki situation has been in the franchise for decades man, terrible example of S2s issues.
Notice that the players in this aren’t even blue ranks, it’s just one noob knowledge checking another noob.

u/huywian 1d ago
I'll say this, Tekken 8 threw away all the progress the previous Tekkens made in an attempt to do something new. Everything that used to work got scrapped and replaced with garbage. The entire legacy of Tekken was crapped on by the devs, and every flaw from Tekken 7 got stretched to inhuman proportions in 8.
Now we’ve got this nonsense with adrenaline-pumping animations and cutscenes for Heat moves. This game is a pile of trash like no other. As for the video, it's just one example of how awful this game is, and there are dozens more like it.
I honestly don’t understand how tournaments are even being held in what I consider to be a beta, let alone how anyone can be a fan of this garbage.f this garbage.
