The Greatest Kazuya Tournament Run Ever... KEISUKE CEO 2024

[@loggiepoggie]

thank god he didnt win. now we got kazuya buffs cuz of that

[@DreadPyke]

Keisuke said on his twitter to Atif that it would be unlikely for him to win post-reset again even if he didn't drop the combo. Atif made a similar comment to him too, so likely both players just being pretty humble about it. But based on how well players like Atif/Arslan adjust in long sets, I'd imagine most people would put their money on Atif winning. Regardless, Keisuke is now one of the premier mishima players to watch out for. A Kazuya in top 8... Crazy!

[@KabeerAli111]

[@ZharifAfiza-nj5sg]

Yeah even if keisuke reset the bracket, i dont see how atif can lose in a long set. The guy is a monster

[@DarkKnight-ck2zs]

@@DreadPyke not just in top 8...but In grand finale!!

[@zeeshanalikhan2143]

Not like it was the final round. Atif beat him in the next round and won. Atif made instant adjustments and won just admit it already. He's the 2022 TWT champion.

[@KOFUNLOADED]

As if keisuke is incapable of making adjustments and altering his timing like he did the entire tournament. Within the set he almost won he made adjustments.

[@riceyboi7069]

Was heartbreaking to see Keisuke drop that combo. That match was his to win, and with all the nerves he probably did that combo out of muscle memory instead of adjusting for the axis he was on. Great run either way, amazing performance from Keisuke.

[@grph1t3z]

Cap

[@jchoi9340]

I agree, muscle memory. I watched so many of his replays, I follow that combo route because he does it. He’s been using that route for months now. I can’t blame him for not changing his combo in that moment. It doesn’t make sense to me why that route drops to begin with.

[@loggiepoggie]

keeping your nerves in check is just as important as your skills. thats how tournaments work out. atif owned the day

[@riceyboi7069]

As a Kazuya player that is so unfortunate. I want him to win so bad, that's so heartbreaking that combo just missed and everything just fell apart

But Keisuke is happy and having Fun, its not so bad, you can see in his face he will improve and win some day

[@ike804]

I was there for this live. The whole crowd was insane. Tbe background sounds from the commentary really do not sell how just loud it was in that room whenever Keisuke was on screen

[@hissenguinho]

Keisuke is a confirmed viewer!!! The #masku tech display was crazy

[@NvrCryToaster]

Damn, what an amazing run. The tekken prowess in these matches was unmatched. And props to Atif too, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pro play as violently as he does and it’s really fun to watch.

[@justamanofculture12]

Atif is a very aggressive player......

[@DarkKnight-ck2zs]

Since the CEO final, i had been waiting for tmm to review keisuke.

[@faatone]

Been waiting for you to cover this🔥 MASKU

[@Deltaclaw]

It was so awesome seeing Keisuke's top 8 run with Kazuya. Love to see it...even as a non mishima main.

[@crispy_asch7110]

Lore accurate Kazuya in tournament

[@VillainessAO]

25:22 I love Kaisuke, he seem to be so chilled and having fun instead of tense and nervous😂😂

[@Gnilson5]

Genuinely curious: Does any non-pakistani actually root for Atif and the other pakistani players? Their fanbase is so obnoxious that it is really hard not to root for the opponent - and also hard to just enjoy good tekken matches when watching or reading the behaviour of many (maybe the loud?) pakistani fans. Never felt the same way towards any country before the pakistanis entered the twt scene in 2019

[@asad_ae]

who cares about the fanbase, and i can assure you these "loud fans" are not tekken fan but js obsessed with the country, they see Pakistani represantaion at international level and support it above and beyond, which is cool but sometimes they can js be annoying, its almost same in every community, maybe not EU or NA tho, i dont see that from them

[@Bruhhh..........]

Pakistanis root hard for there players...... Cuz they know they r very very strong region (not insulting other regions or something) but we pakistanis know our own tekken prowess so maybe they dont need your foreign people rooting or watever u may call...... U just need ur own people thats it..... And yea when u keep winning so many tournaments as a pakistani professional tekken player fan boys and non fan boys will become obnoxious

[@AkbarHazmie]

Judging by how non pakistani especially westerners discriminate and downplay towards their representative, i can understand why their fans behave like that

[@Gnilson5]

@@asad_ae You probably got a point regarding many not being tekkens fans but rather pakistani supporters. That might also explain why their “presence” (the loud ones) seem to alienate the tekken scene I used to know.

[@Gnilson5]

@@Bruhhh.......... Pakistani fans are rooting for their players yes, as they should. However, there is no connecting imo between players winning many tournaments and their fanbase developing an obnoxious/toxic behaviour towards others, as you seemingly state. If you have been following the tekken scene for a while and watched before Pakistan entered the scene in 2019, no such equal behaviour was present or exercised by any country/region to the same degree as today.

He was mashing a power crush that’s difficult to punish. The kaz player did nothing wrong and not even close to what asuka does

[@StasionSpasski]

Not a good comparison. Asuka has tools that are literally designed to disrespect frames and mix ups. Like her b3. Kazuya’s uf3 into 1+2 is something I have never seen and you have to admit that it was a sick set up.

[@rey9746]

45:18 the problem with dropped pewgf is that you dont dash electric, which caused dragunov to be a bit far and keisuke not micro dashing before b2,2

It would be as astonishing as you say if it was Tekken 7, i think in Tekken 8 Kazuya is different case and can be used on that level with his new kit, but still KEISUKE carve his pedestal on Tekken world stage with this performance

[@QenaitheCustodianGuard]

Dragunovs long, sweeping erratic (but still somehow it looks deliberate) and kind of spastic looking movement makes him look very different and I like it a lot. Also, my boy Kazuya is finally where he belongs!
