You can feel how Harada and the team received orders from Bamco to entirely remove kbd on infinite to make the game look "fun" to casuals.... In the end Tekken 8 did not attract casuals that much and it displeased those who always stay.

No "hashish" on db2? Maybe just me, but good luck blocking that.

I think fighting games now are harder than back then, because of the frame data. Back then you had to fight on on reaction more than frames.. I been playing fighting games since first street fighter and tekken came out..

Once he gets 3 stocks of his install he can go into his ultimate version were his hellsweep doesn't stagger and he can remove recoverable health when he combos the opponent

PLEASE BRING BACK HEATSPEAK :))))

No stager on hellsweep is gonna be mad annoying, it better be atleast -15 if they finish the string

I don't think he has a stance after Db2, it's rather than he has a new WS move instead. Looks like a new ws2 replacing the old one, but could be 1+2 as a new input, who knows.

Makes me wonder if electrics for Heihachi will be a thing

Boom

sounds like skill issue

There were idiots that thought this was a Tekken 1 remake. Some people can't see past art and take everything literal.

Tekken 8 = R1 R1 R1 R1 R1

Poor Atif. would have been a lenged if Arsalan was not here.

Both Arsalan and Atif were very disrespectful after their wins, and acted like children. Specially Arsalan, his reaction was fake as fuck.

Well, Tekken 8 might not be fun for everyone, but everyone who plays it surely had quite some fights you can say was like a movie scripted fight scene and I think the fast fluid animations in this game are exactly for that purpose, I think there should be a competiton not in which who is the best fighter and KO his opponent as quickly as possible but who creates the best fluid fight scenes for a clip presentation. a so called fair show fight with fluid fighting. People just don´t have time no more these days and every fucking round has 60 seconds to use creating a fun ass fighting scene, thats the fun about the game. In Tekken 7 the animations were slower and everytime the animation stopped you had a short break inbetween before the new button combination. And the Heat option was given in Tekken 7 aswell just not that extremely animated.

best breakdown so far

Uncrowned king Atif!

youre not spag

1:13 1:22 1:46 2:12 2:30 3:06

Poor Nobi that was painful to watch. And speaking of PK players, I've just recently seen Numan a Steve player defeating Rangchu's Kuma with a fricking comeback, in the FV Major. PK players are truly something else man.

It's called brutality 😂

How to win againts Alisa, pick King 😂.

Great Analysis!!

WHERE IS HEATSPEAK WTFFFFFFF

Amazing analysis as always Spag 💪🏾

and what makes this even crazier is that this was an INFORM nobi. This wasn't some washed up Nobi who didnt adjust to tekken 8. He was inform and played arguably better than ever than this match happened.

Jon is my cousin 😂😂 😅

Dawood Kuma vs Chanel was also great

Muscle armour is such BS. For non-King players, that move SUCKS.

Why were there no Americans or Europeans there?

Jon is obviously a world class player but his king is definitely not optimized. And i am not talking about combos either. He is clearly not a king main, just playing him till marduk returns. And dashing GS can be differentiated from isw by looking at the pause before the throw, where as isw never comes out from standstill. Bati had an excellent video on that. The 2 throws are never a true mixup.

Top tier analysis. Thanks for the taking the time to make this! Also - got any more podcast discussions planned? Would be good to hear peoples thoughts post 1.5/1.6 patch.

The Jon is the best player in Tekken world ❤️

Alisa does well the more she is guzzling the glue.

18:28 chainsaws are ineffective against a brick-wall man lol

Hey spag excellently explained. Please have a video on Atif's dragunov and how has he got the character optimised

❤❤❤❤❤

💚

Atif have been watching nobis dragunov online replay matches 100%. Stop hype your arabian friend , atif had his day tho Nobi is much better

Ever wonder why bro always wear sunglasses

14:52 Atif: "ARE YOU GUYS ENTERTAINED???" 😈😈😈

Last i saw a beatdown this bad was arslan vs anakin 2019 evo

Imagine playing a character for 2 decades and being known as the best or one of the best players of that character and then just getting completely outplayed and bodied by that character

Thank you for this!! 🎉🎉

My take: French players took over the DBFZ scene because they redeveloped the team structure that had carried over from MvC which they made obsolete. The reason they made it obsolete was that DBFZ introduced the active tag mechanic meaning team structures could be much more versatile and the original pros had yet to see how they could make the most of that. The traditional point/mid/anchor structure was no longer the undisputed optimal formula, but it took a while for the new model to catch on. I think the same about Pakistan. It just seems like that same type of pressure cooker situation of a new approach to game mechanics that develops in isolation due to increased difficulty in travel. Sort of a mutation into a speciation if you’ll permit an analogy that feels a little pretentious. Bear with me (and old heads please put your salt to the side for a second): I think part of the issue is that legacy Tekken players often dismiss updates to the Tekken formula as “gimmicks for casuals/scrubs who don’t care about fundamentals” whereas Pakistan’s pro players have developed a sense of embracing the new focus on rushdown, more aggression, more risk/reward etc - yet without neglecting the fundamentals that made the older pro players so dominant. I think that’s why they’re just sweeping tournaments at the moment - they’ve adapted to “new Tekken” in their pressure cooker.

You are one of my favorite commentator out there ❤❤❤❤❤

Everything you mentioned is baised on facts. ❤❤❤

Arslan made quick work of Anakin surprise surprise in a winners final

I used to think that Arslan Ash vs Anakin (Evo 2019) was a beatdown, until I saw this

You know what’s worse? Raef didn’t even win a single round in top 6! Such a waste of a winner spot in top 6!
