Arslan put himself on the map near instantly. It's not often you see someone new take a shot at Knee and actually win, but the true respect and acknowledgement came later. For you personally, when did you realize that Arslan earned his spot at the top?

I think the best thing that came out of this is a amazing rivalry between Knee and Arslan They both have an agenda to beat one another in tekken yet also became instant friends. Geniunely feel happy every time I see them together battling out on tekken

Arslan is a prodigy. I’m very excited to see how he progresses in Tekken 8. However, I am expecting to see Arslan and Knee, once again, in the Grand Finals of most tournaments. Which is a win for the fans, IMO.

Arslan is the greatest player in t7, but it seems you arent aware that people were already rating katarina pretty high, especially in Korea. Not saying that Arslan isnt the t7 goat, but you kinda didnt do your research on katarina.. its just like how noctis suddenly got recognized to be a top char as well

There is footage of Arlslan Ash playing Tekken Six and Tekken Tag Tournament. That footage may be priceless in history because in those videos Arslan plays Dominant Pakistani players like Heera, Awais Honey, Dawood Sikander, etc. We can get a feel for how good Arslan would have been at those If he played internationally at times. My bet is he would have been the GOAT of Tekken 6 and Tag Tournament if he could have competed internationally. But we can never say for sure. His Tekken 8 tournament runs will tell us if there is something about Tekken 7 that leads to Arslan's dominance, or if he is an absolute fighting games genius and continues his dominance. The good news is he's 28, still in his twenties and prime, so we will get to see how great he is at Tekken 8.

The comparison to Max V doesn’t really work since Max wins because he’s an amazing driver and has the most well built car on the track. It would be like if Arslan had a fight stick that was significantly better than every other player.

Knee will remain one of the legends, but GOATs are ever-changing. Daigo is indisputably one of the greats, but how much has he achieved in SFV/SF6 era? New talents are always coming up, so the person at the top is decided purely by performance.

Also, Arslan's losses many have Asterix's. For example, at EVO 2022 he lost to Shadow 20, but he was playing KOF and had to sprint across Mandalay Bay to start playing Shadow. When he lost to Noroma and Chikurin at EVO Japan 2020, he had no warm-up matches, his first three opponents were no show, and he played Chirukurin as his first MATCH! Chikurin played the way OP Leroy and beat Arslan. Then got eliminated by Noroma who played a way to overpower Leroy again to defeat him. He lost to Jimmy J Tran in a tournament before EVO 2019, however, his plane just landed, and he had no warm-up and had to sprint to play an already warmed-up Jimmy J Tran. Finally, his famous loss to PhiDX has a huge caveat, Arslan was actively competing in three games at that tournament and was running between KOF SF and Tekken, PhiDX has never had any luck with Arslan Ash ever again after that victory. The only guy who can beat Arslan Ash consistently even though he has a clear negative ratio toward Arslan is KNEE.

People do not talk about how good Ulsan is however, he has lost a lot to Arlsan, but that doesn't reflect the true story of their rivalry as Ulsan has lost to Arslan in Finan final rounds in major tournaments. Plus Ulsan is only 23 years old. He is the future of Korean Tekken and already better then knee and every other Pakistani player except Atif Butt. Him and Arlsan matches will be something to see.

No he is not negative against Shadow20z, he has dominated Shadow, however, he did have one really bad loss at EVO 2022 to Shadow, however, he was playing King of Fighters at that EVO and had to sprint across the Mandalay bay to fight shadow. So for me, there is a slight Asterix to that loss. When both of them are full power Arslan has a strong win ratio.
