Commentary on Knee Winning EVO Grand Finals

[@samurai_8917]

Knees movement was like water and his defence was godlike. He was just kinda the main character of this EVO

[@riodaffa99]

He's carried the Korean team against Japanese

[@ymb9shinzou743]

This being his first Evo win might also point to the movement being either a bit too difficult or unrewarding in Tekken right now. Someone who is so clearly miles ahead of everyone in this area should be even more dominant of a player than he is.

[@rin5250]

Nah he won evo before I think in tag 2 once 2013 or something, I forgot lol And then 2018 evo japan This was his evo las vegas

[@ymb9shinzou743]

My point is basically that for someone so ahead in footwork it doesn't seem to affect the outcome as much as I think it could. It's either too difficult or it's not rewarding enough. I don't know if they made choices to nerf the movement to curb some of the legacy skill Tekken has.

[@andredw1763]

I been waiting to hear your thoughts on this one. Seeing that he used Feng Wei.

[@linja3946]

Knee has a passive playstyle that matches with Feng's movements, pokes, counter and back steps. I remember the first time Feng came out with Hao representing as the best player using it during those days. Feng was just overshadowed by Steve, Bob and the new Hwoarang moves but was definitely a strong all around character. Knee never even used the back forward 1 punch that was one of Feng's signature move which seems to be part of the d/f 2,2 on block.

[@ShaunInce123]

In a way I feel it was kind of poetic that Knee wins Evo right near what is probably nearing the end of T7's lifespan. Arslan Ash being eliminated by Khan was definitely an upset. And also the fact that he was beaten 2-0 by Shadow in Top 48.

[@MALAY_TENGU]

I was actually emotional tmmswe. I'm from an underdeveloped country and I didn't have a PS4. However I played Tekken when I was young and never played it since 12. But I watched every single tourney and knee frame data and stuff and cheese moves things like that just by watching Tekken on KZbin and like everyone else, grew to love knee who is the GOAT. I love watching your perspective on things but I wanted to say I got emotional and wanted knee to win so bad I got emotional when he won, no one knows how much that ment to him and to his supporters.

[@sneharashmi7553]

I didn't watch the video but I get you. Underdeveloped country and no PS4. You said you didn't have, that means you have it now I suppose.
