The Biggest Beatdown in Pro Tekken History (Atif vs Nobi EVO 2024)

[@m3lodeth]

Man, speedkick himself said that at tournaments, people are playing against a nerfed Atif, because of nerves. That's why he couldn't beat Arslan cause Arslan just has that nerves of steel.

[@funkrates4778]

@@m3lodeth Going down to losers and working your way back up is hard because you become fatigued. That fatigue had an effect, I’m sure.

[@m3lodeth]

@funkrates4778 possible. But from the looks of it, he seemed more motivated...You can't blame fatigue for a loss cause these pro players play Tekken all day just to train and in that finals day, he only had to play a few games compared to their regular training.

[@funkrates4778]

@@m3lodeth it’s the entire three days together. The fatigue doesn’t go away. It’s a tournament that lasts three days. Everyone is fatigued. But it’s worse for those in losers because it’s more games to play. Anyway, he definitely was upset about losing to Arslan. No doubt.

[@Daruudes]

And also Arslan is the greatest Tekken player. That 'fatigue' point makes zero sense btw, Arslan sent him to losers finals from winners finals, and that match lasted 6 minutes...

[@m3lodeth]

Yeah they both played the same number of games until Winners Finals. So basically, Atif just has 1 more game which is the losers finals.

[@YourTamedLion]

That set told us more about lvls in tekken than words could. I told my friends who missed evo top 6 ( timezone issue) to watch at least the Grand Finals and the losers finals. And Nobi super strong through out the tournament in general. He also beat JDCR in a drag mirror. This was not Nobi having a bad day or anything. Pakistan is just that strong.

[@funkrates4778]

The crazy thing is that I think Nobi would have done better against Arslan than Atif. Nobi has a history of beating Arslan with Dragunov.

Appreciate this breakdown. I was waiting for someone to go into detail on this and explain wtf happened. It was such a bizarre and surreal match considering how much of an accomplished player Nobi is. The rest of the world need to get on the same level as Pakistan fast.

[@Pr0t0typ33]

Poor Nobi, couldn't adjust to his aggression, wp Atif!

[@funkrates4778]

Nobi played Atif in top 24 and Atif barely won. it was 6 rounds to 5 and down to the wire. Or maybe 7 round to 4, but the rounds Nobi lost were SUPER close. That's why this was such a surprise.

[@praetorarsonist69]

I think Nobi here is the receiver of a Disgruntled Atif who just lost from Arslan, and want his revenge ASAP. Atif's Dragu was hyper aggressive like it was in a hurry, all through 9 rounds 😮

[@funkrates4778]

@@praetorarsonist69 personally I think Nobi went back to his hotel room and took it easy, rested, while Atif studied his matches that he had with possible opponents in top 6. Like Spag said, Atif looked to have studied Nobi. He went back to his hotel room and played more Tekken, preparing, reviewing their previous match. That was the difference I believe.

[@AliHassan-ki2fq]

​@@funkrates4778yeah not that atif is obscenely more skilled than nobi. You think nobi didnt prepare for top 6. Tell me you have never played a game at the top level without telling me. You guys will do anything to cope. Even make false narratives in your head.

[@funkrates4778]

@@AliHassan-ki2fq wut?

[@AliHassan-ki2fq]

@@funkrates4778 you believe the difference between them is that nobi didnt prepare? You are deluded buddy coping to make any excuse. You would rather die before accepting that these pakistanis are just better at the game.

[@blazaybla22]

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.

[@Reaper0101x]

AMAZING ANALYSIS JUST WHAT I NEEDED

[@1nnovator]

Atif's pop-off was my favorite of Evo. Perfect way to end the speed run that was loser's finals. Anyway, if him and AA are traveling to all the tournaments, they just got a lot harder to win. Jeez Louise! 😮

[@Moon42069]

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.

[@asjadahmad3954]

Atif showed the same energy as Calma Calma by Ronaldo 😂 14:52

[@yagami999913]

To think this is the difference in level between 2nd and 3rd place at EVO. Pakistan is something else !

[@undernoob2481]

this is not the difference, just a day before nobi nearly took out atif. Yes atif and arslan are most likely (with little room for doubt) the 2 best players in the world but let's not pretend they are unbeatable or that they are head and shoulders above everyone else. What you saw in this match is not something you will see anytime soon. This was a once in a lifetime match and probably the best match Atif ever made and ever will make because what he did to Nobi today was absolutely outstanding.

hey man loving the content. can you please by any chance make a video on how we can offensive sidestep and punish the opponent who is playing very aggressive. there's not a single video on youtube that is easy to digest on this topic. i loved your "how to play tekken guide". been waiting for advanced content such as side stepping.

[@sukalyanmajumdar1196]

start doing sidestep when you are -3 to 0 on block. if you see something whiff due to this sidestep, do your quickest(emphasis on quickest) launcher/ knockdown. thats all basically.

As a commentator and promoter of Takken 8, this is the time to create hype for a rivalry. Make a video name that may create a feud between Takken Titans and clip the footage of Atif from the 2019 Japan event where Awais and Atiff finished first and second. There Atif also showed his proudness. It will make a good betting feud. Good for business don't you think? We need to make money and doesn't matter how it comes.
