I'm PhiDX, I play Tekken professionally for DSG, Chipotle, and ArcadeShock.

[@keshxiv]

A big suggestion 4 these interviews is showing snippets of Tekken 8 gameplay (muted) related to topic especially when talking about specific matches i know that requires alot more effort but it'll add lot more flavor

[@keshxiv]

for example when you are asking joka about his favorite baaz gauntlet matches showing those matches onscreen briefly would go a very long way otherwise i love that you are highlighting tekken pros to gerenally more casual audience you built!

[@CasualKnight]

Agreeeeeeed ​@@keshxiv

[@raeyen0102]

@@keshxiv thats a real a good suggestion i second that

[@kd4u49]

top tier suggestions sir

[@alexj4573]

That’d be nice, however, that would take a lot of time and energy.

[@acidicyeild6054]

Man, Joka has a great voice. Mans could do voiceovers or audiobooks or something.

[@sanburki9494]

True

[@Rain87166]

the dude sounds like Hamza

[@Redtube831]

Ayo

[@deanradley65]

lol I’m from the UK and he has a pretty standard voice.

[@noumantahir4215]

I got to met Joka at Baaz and he’s such nice person to be around with. He got great voice; he talks great and he is very humble.

[@RensOfDaLor]

Half of my fav moments from this most recent tourney was from Joka's matches, the man needs to stay on the scene if it's paying the bills and providing him happiness. Joka if you're reading this - as a fellow software graduate now working in the industry, that'll always be waiting for you later on; enjoy the opportunity you got right now to do what you love for as long as you can.

[@_lawrence]

I saw Joka at Rev Major last year and from 1pm till the end of the event he just sat in one spot doing nothing but casuals with everyone. Mad respect, I don't even have that much energy to grind and play for that long lol.

[@hamzahax]

Joka is Cracked

[@futureflora]

who knew a feng player could be such a great guy

[@Hypercube1729]

Joka is the best Tekken player in EU. (After me of course, but I'm too busy to enter tournaments.) Such a nice guy.

[@Stross8]

Awesome interview, love you both

[@SugarRoll]

Great interview. Love learning about the top players. Glad you're doing this phidx.

[@FinalLifeG]

This was a great video. Should definitely do more of these.

[@adonutplaysgames]

Really insightful video. I don't usually watch interviews but I am glad I watched this one. So cool to get a glimpse of the pro player mindset. Thanks PhiDX & Joka!

[@funkrates4778]

Super great content PhiDx!! You’re setting the bar for Tekken 8 content creation 💪

[@mistacrust]

Pre-CEO Joka's stream was the best place to be. The stream really took off and was an extremely fun place to be in the week leading up to CEO. I've never seen a highly competitive and elite professional player laugh as much as Joka whilst simultaneously destroying everyone in ranked matches as I did that week. His stream is absolutely on the way up and I can't recommend checking him out enough. The most likeable pro player around.

[@HitokiriSingh]

Best Tekken content creator ever

[@blinroc]

Who knew Choksae was an inspiration for him... That was super nice of him to acknowledge who was probably the Kazuya innovator.

[@Paulchiefsquad]

love these interviews, keep it up!

[@ypesh]

Fantastic interview I loved it!!! Much much appreciated!!!

[@LuckyNeffy]

Man first time hearing Joka speak. mans got a sick voice.

[@aZ1d]

These interviews have been fire phidx. Great stuff.

[@Yorsem]

I'm really, really loving the interview content. Thank you for the effort and bringing this to us.

[@Ti0Luch0]

this is great content for the Tekken scene, man. Keep it up!

[@mahershawkat]

Man I love joka so damn much just good vibes coming from him I love it

[@oobagoo8797]

Thank you Phi for the great content

[@zacretzer]

Awesome interview Joka is such a chill dude!

[@aqueelkadri8371]

Such a fun interview And a new perspective to training Also loved the idea of having a backup and pursuing a career through your bachelors degree after Tekken.

[@metalsadman]

great interview. keep it up phi.

[@kd4u49]

JoKa is very likeable guy. Super chill dude. Wish you the best. Also u Phiddy

[@EseaGhost]

BRO PHI. LEGIT AMAZIN INTERVIEW. ALL THE RIGHT QUESTIONS. GOOD RESPONSES BACK TO HIM TOO. CLEAN WOW.

[@walduskiepski5312]

This is how should every interview in everything looked like. Not only esport but real sports, actors, movie Directors, company owners etc. It gives me an idea what i should try to do like play with different characters to understand their game plans etc. I hope phidx has plan to interview more players

[@seltic2007]

These interviews are really heartwarming it’s like you get to see a different side of competitor when they aren’t stressed to fight in tournament. I’m really enjoy this style of content

[@kidy7k]

This channel getting better n better

[@shaharcohen486]

JoKa is one of my favs

[@niwona_]

Felt like they made it clear they were patching so much just because the game didn't get its usual arcade run and they apparently rely a lot on that outside of their in-house balancing. I don't imagine it being this frequent in any other given year, but since that doesn't seem to be commonly assumed, I hope that's the case. But speaking of how JoKa noted spacing as a clear skill indicator, I do hope over time that they improve proximity BDC to make that a little more apparent. Nice interview!

[@WeMissDimebag]

It also hasn’t been that frequent? We’ve had 2 patches in 6 months and they’ve said no more large updates for the rest of the season. I understand why pro’s would be concerned about over-patching but it was never happening.

[@ICEMAN-Z8]

I heard him say he was looking for halal food, im glad that there a lot of muslims in the tekken world

[@MoeSzyslak-nu3zd]

God bless Phidx for Tekken content

[@countlessbathory1485]

The Feng goat has spoken

[@jmyers112]

man Joka's awesome

[@dycars8443]

I really like Joka he seems like a humble! person

[@ExpanderDJ]

Joka is a menace.

[@ItsDonBro]

The fact everyone still starts with a full stick of butter EVERY round is complete Smash Bros

[@BigCocoEnergy]

W Title Change💯

[@GaspoweR]

Not the Feng downplay towards the end 💀

[@Mike-rt2vp]

Oh I love between two ferns

[@slothprime1327]

JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@mahoganywood6468]

I wish you had also asked about coaching

[@sergiomadureira9985]

Did you interview Joka or Andy Garcia?

[@Nupeguy16]

Alright back to the games and analysis lol

[@therayyanify]

Phidx please can U make a video about on how to deal with hworang? I always die because of combos and I don't know how to counter properly. Sorry for asking

[@lachdach]

JoKa, the best player in EU

[@heyzeus7007]

Hey PhiDX!

[@walduskiepski5312]

BTW. I've heard already 3x that the best playing 5hrs per day. If you can ask another player next time how do they reconcile competitive play with sub-hobbies, work, family, girlfriend, and what are their sub-hobbies, favourite single player games, why they picked esports carrer instead gamedev and something about breaks from playing competitive how they look like etc Also if anyone can answer here in the comments be my guest. I'll appreciate that 🙏

[@GalacticFGC]

👀

[@edgar967]

Btw the best feng in the world is knee ☝️🤓

[@FredoThaGawdOfficial]

How can I get coached by you?!?!?! 🗣️🗣️

[@Lukas-rw3tc]

How tf do these pros play so much tekken without destroying their tendons

[@shaq3045]

two distinguished looking gentlemen

[@deanradley65]

How long PhiDX been shaving his legs for?

[@OuterWorldGaming313]

Interview Atif , Arslan or any other Pakistani player please

[@Fazzillalala]

Wow😱 the best feng 👍 joka is pakistan right??

[@MoeSzyslak-nu3zd]

[@craigwaterhouse8009]

[@davidacevedo2485]

Hey I can only type so fast on a phone

[@davidacevedo2485]

Hey I can only type so fast on a phone

[@lameshorts5162]

Bro first of all Joka has Pakistan blood. And second when he won Tekken 8 was most unoptimized game. Since the game is balanced both of major tournaments are won by Pakistan. So Yeah 🤪

[@codeine_ninja]

Knee is the best Feng in the world, ur plain delusional, this guy ain’t that good

[@mehboob9101]

We love a phidx ciiclbait. EDIT; a tip you should not cross legs in loose shorts

[@El-Burrito]
