As a Training partner , Chanel is the reason why Knee is too strong . And there is no Knee level players in korea but there is other Arslan level players in pakistan. That's way Pakistan best now.

[@nabedesu7708]

@@FollowTheDamnTrain0 i would say both sides doesnt play better than during their prime. Knee did a lot of blunders during his match with atif but he did extraordinarily well against arslan. Perhaps of a pressure for each team but yea cant say anything as an excuse. Hype match though ngl

[@sbilly17]

This is peak Tekken 7 right now in every single metrics: skills, tournament settings, team rivalry. Its sad to see we only get 6k live viewers for this hype tournament. It seems hard to justify another tournament of this budget until Tekken 8. Team setup is actually much more exciting that I thought, maybe some official Team Mode can be interesting. There are so many interesting players/characters match up that can't be mapped linearly like how AO beat Atif, Atif beat Ulsan, Ulsan beat AO. Atif beat Knee, Arslan (mostly) beat Atif, Knee beat Arslan, Kwiss beat Arslan, Nobi beat Kwiss. Which result in some interesting meta game to pick Players/Characters, making it unpredictable, but more exciting. Player with limited Characters pool can struggle though, especially if you main weak characters (Ulsan, Kwiss), so even if you're one of the best in Korea like Ulsan doesn't mean that you're that good in this format compare to other Korean players.

[@furqanamjad90]

It's easy to say Knee choked. If you were in his position you would have lost so badly. There was a lot of pressure and Atif already beat Knee in Winners Final so Knee was under a lot of pressure. Atif also played really well.

I still remember Arslan in that first EVO he played, bro was a skinny nervous kid, and now bro looks tough 💪 and even though he lost against Knee we all still know Arslan is one of the GOATs of the game and in a battle if GOATS it can go either way, Team Pakistan was just made up of GOATs. 26:30 Bro that legit got me in the feels 🥲❤️, Pakistani bros fought hard for this and they deserve it! Can't wait to see them in more tournaments to come, also we gotta keep our eyes out for other Pakistani players too, that region really is just a fighting pit for Legends man.

winning finals w/ akuma again is just so satisfying.

[@DonatLaja]

For the Akuma haters. If Akuma is such OP, how come Super Akouma or AK have not won EVO or TwT with Akuma? The fact that Pakistan has many high-level Akuma players like Atif, Awais Honey, Farzeen and Kashi Snake who often compete with eachother offline is a huge factor. Another factor being that it’s difficult to master Akuma. High risk, high reward. Here is a quote from Atif: «Everyone is working towards Akuma. I don’t know what changes are needed to be required for. But, you see that Akuma players can get «Unlucky» as well. (Sorry for the heart Attack).

[@junilog]

It's still crazy that Pakistan out of any countries is the one to rival SK in Tekken. There is literally not a single game where they are as dominant as Tekken 7. SK on the other hand has a few games and genres on their belt, including Tekken, and usually is only rivaled by the US, Russia or China.

Great tournament, and congrats to Pakistan for the win! There were some real nail-biters throughout the tournament, but that's what made it hype.

[@jooyichen]

Pakistan Tekken changed the game. Watch old videos of Tekken 7 before Pakistan. Techniques are centered around single attacks or pokes. Backdash and re-engage with 1 hit attacks only. Whiffs, punish, counter, in anticipation of a single move. Pakistan's aggressive playstyle has got mix-ups on timing, pokes, dashes, and they use *strings.* They also crowd the poker. They crowd your safe and secure playstyle with pressure and inputs forcing you to play aggressively.

[@straightlead8]

Logic would imply that aggressive playstyle would open them up to counters and low parries

[@shaghilathar3588]

@@straightlead8 You do see that as well

[@jooyichen]

[@UmarMunir94]

I want to correct you on something, since I'm from Lahore, Pakistan (where Arslan Ash is from).... The time when Tekken was the most popular in Pakistan was the time when arcades were popular here. Those were the times when we had Yahoo! and MSN Messenger, dialup internet connections and Nokia's keypad phones. Internet and computers were not widely available and even where they were, there were not so many past times. Those were the times when Arcades were the best past time in Pakistan. They were everywhere, and Tekken Tag and Tekken 3 were the most popular games. I haven't seen an arcade in a long time. The only players you see are hard core fans who kept playing. I remember the Tekken scene and the arcade scene of my childhood, 90% of the arcades have been shut down and this started probably around 2015. If Pakistan had stepped into the international scene in 2015 or before, with Tekken 3 or Tag players, Pak would've been what Korea has been at that time. I have scene the players in the Arcades in my childhood. If by mistake I stepped into an arcade, an 8 year old innocent looking kid would kick my ass.

It would be interested to see Knee vs Arslan do a FT10 set across all Tekken games (1, 2, 3, 4, 5DR, 6BR, the Tags, and a special offline version of Revolution) with the winner of most sets winning something like 1M. Then we could see who's really the GOAT of Tekken period

Pakistan is literaly the best region in tekken currently

[@sbilly17]

@joceja23 Feng wei is just a very good Tekken character, its not comparable to a broken 2D character like Akuma that can 10f jab/djab you into death combo (+ evasive d3, flip, etc). Feng also doesn't have good punishes against Akuma, Akuma can flip challenge and kill Feng every times, Akuma just doesn't have bad match up period. Atif is the best at getting that last 10f in for a clutch comeback though. With that said, there's not much you can do to balance the character beside nerfing the meter gain, so Namco just add meter to all characters like T8 lol.

😮😮😮 This must be a hard L for Korea but Knee more specifically. I heard he restarted his local arcade scene with tournaments just so he could get stronger. He said Online Tekken isnt a good enough measuring tool. I've been following those ATL tournaments.There he kept winning most of the time and sometimes losing to specific players like Channel and Ulsan specifically. That's why you see Ulsan and Channel on that team. JDCR Jeonndding and others were far outclassed by these 3. To work so much and lose so hard on the grandest stage. It must be a nightmare for Koreans to find out there are guys in Pakistan like Khan and Atif who outclass them even after so much hard work

⁠@@umair.ahahahah me personally im a fan both of knee and arslan, but this guy bro got butthurt because i told him that knee beat arslan to get his revenge and he was more prepared for arslan than atif because knee felt that he got embarrassed by Arslan when tekken was at its pinnacle, because we know that Knee is still bleeding after the beatdown he got from arslan cuz arslan has beaten knee more than knee against arslan, and since knee beat arslan this time? now this little kid here is mentioning only khan and atif, why doesn’t he mention Arslan? because he is a super hardcore arslan fan who sucks arslans dick and hates on knee and that burns him alot that arslan lost to knee, trust me if knee lost to arslan? he will say different things than this and he would mention arslan 😂😂 and he is saying atif will haunt him😂like seriously, who is Atif for knee? what has atif done that arslan couldn’t do? atif is a nobody for knee, atif gets carried by arslan, cuz when arslan was beating top korean players (including knee), japanese, americans, where was atif? no where, arslan is the one who carries atif with his shoulder, so knee doesnt care about atif, knee’s legacy is bigger than Atif and so is with Arslans legacy, Atif lives under Arslans legacy and on his shadow, so basically Atif is arslans windmill, and arslan on the other hand? Arslan is knee’s rival, Arslan is the one who holds the torch and knee acknowledge Arslan for that! so ofc Knee prepares more for his rival than a nobody like Atif, and knee will sleep in peace cuz he got his revenge on arslan, and losing to Atif? its like pfft for knee! 😂 this is why he doesn’t mention arslan cuz knee beat him this time😂 me personally, i would prepare more for my rival than for someone that i dont give a f about! 😂 but this kid here? he is butthurt that knee beat arslan😂😂 hahahahahaha
