5:08 When AK Spaced right outside the Getup Kick Range and just stood there. I knew his ass was gonna win 😭 That shit was *MENACING* bruh. How you gonna stand right in front of Arslan like that!?!?

[@JoseRodriguez-er9jq]

Look like a movie. Great quick strategy

And he beat him with Perfect 😅

Years of 2nd places, and finally seeing AK winning a big Tournament was a joy to see. He inspires me to keep using Shaheen honestly 👀

[@yhaerysthethird6088]

Such an emotional win. You could see the elation. From being 2nd place tournament after tournament… he finally jumped that hurdle. Such a tear jerker. Such a deserved win!! Thank you Kwiss for covering this

[@wonderman7166]

AK & Shaheen really deserve to win 🇵🇭🏆✨

AK really made shaheen cool for a day like so many people rooted for him and a character that no one plays

[@HackChey]

Lot. Of people play him in naaz tournamnet shaheen is fnalist ahsan ali

[@combobreaker9618]

It's nice to see someone else win, especially someone like AK who's been denied 1st place for so long. It's nothing personal against Arslan, it's just that the guy is like the Lewis Hamilton or Michael Schumacher of Tekken. He's won so many times at such a consistent pace that everytime someone else has a chance you just think "c'mon man, leave something for the rest".

[@apixza129]

i feel like AK finally conquer the ghost that's been hunting him since evo japan 2019... i was watching this set at work and popping off to see that AK finally did it,, he truly deserve it man....

[@datsobie606]

I was his first win in pools. Playing against him for those six rounds literally caused me to completely change the way I think about this game. AK is absolutely insane. It's crazy to think that there were people out there who believed that he wasn't strong in Tekken 8.

[@bandai7602]

Curse of second placer. But now he started to believe.

[@leonflorence118]

That pop off was so satisfying

[@meeu]

It wasn't that long ago that AK was being hailed as an up and coming prodigy from SEA. . . congrats to him .

[@leojones1964]

Man it was 10 years ago when he was about 13 though lmao. The win is a long time coming, Tekken 7 is a good game for his playstyle

[@meeu]

@@leojones1964 i think he started intl competitions in 6. The nostalgia just gets to me.

[@Chris_Da_Prince]

Combo Breaker 2024 is going down as an all time classic event not just for USA but in Tekken History. Goatlan Ash Knee The Legend Joey Fury Farzeen JD and AK. Man. This will go down in history. Wow what a great event. To me, AK played how Tekken 8 was meant to be played And congratulations on being in the Top 20 (12th) Making us Hwoarang players proud brother

[@ELFUICHE]

K-Wiss did not participate. What you were looking at are the Tekken World Tour scoring from the top Tekken players.

[@Chris_Da_Prince]

@@ELFUICHE I know he didn’t participate that’s what I’m talking about the tekken score for the overall players. I just said everything in a big azz paragraph

[@ELFUICHE]

Lol ok

[@bubsenseijebe2993]

16:16 Love Michael Murray Reactioin lol Basically all of us watching this. AK was on fire the whole tourney, styling on everyone since pools 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@tgseraph]

Meanwhile... Harada with the gold claps. 😅

[@GaspoweR]

K Wiss pointed out that AK was delaying his slide timing so much in that set because Arslan was fuzzy ducking a lot and punishing it, AK barely did it on immediate timing during that entire set…until when he had to do it when it mattered the most. In the very last interaction when AK tried to fool Arslan with a low heat smash by going into sneak stance but did the sneak cancel mid heat smash instead, Arslan didn’t take the bait and stayed standing but AK still had the advantage and went for one final gamble while in sneak stance: He went with the mid hitting sneak 1+2 overhead and with Arslan getting hit with so many snk cancel ws 1 CH gut punches, he just chooses to backdash and block mid and then wait his turn again but AK finally did the slide on immediate timing after so much conditioning and it paid off. Absolute masterclass of a match by both competitors.

[@b_rza]

This was some of the best T8 play I’ve seen yet. Still adjusting to game, but this was really exciting to watch

[@apa129]

One of the most hype finals so far!!!!

[@vegeta312]

9:12, with the side walks. So cold 😤

[@alryanlicup7089]

AK has been playing for years you'd think he's old. He's onky 23 years old and has been playing for like a decade.

[@elfaranelasul6886]

hes playing since 12

[@andy-xz2uk]

so whatt pignoise?

[@warrenview86]

Was great to watch😁 I'm from London UK so when I saw Free U comments I felt a way. Sending energy for the next big Tournament all the best!

[@dacatindahat8275]

Arslan was straight racked after that. AK went ham. Everyone in top 8 played fantastic Tekken. What blows my mind though is people still discrediting Knee when he finished 5th out of 1600. Its like if hes not first hes washed. Scrubs... 🤦

[@nrostova5606]

Whatever shit those peeps are gonna say, knee is still knee.

[@yamoonie]

@@yamoonie During Top 8, Knee did play like my grandma during her 8 pm sleep time lol. Knee's play style was so much more active during the pool, it look like he auto pilot Tekken 7 play style during Top 8, he probably should play Feng at that point.

[@metalsadman]

yep it's his first major win, placed 2nd also in SEA games against Book.

[@sahmuss1164]

[@umerzafar]

midway to this video i forgot if its recorded or live and i started rooting for arslan again

[@Faith0929ROK]

Over seas players are dealing with 13 to 14 hour jet leg. People don’t see big deal over this but it’s tough to get acclimated to new time zone. Give all over seas players props. And this will go for same for US and Europe players who come to Asia to play.

[@montague7204]

Despite me wanting to see Arslan win, big props to AK that shit was insane I'm happy for him Also why does his chat always have dogshit takes lmaooo

[@janematthews9087]

Because they don't play the game. They pretend the streamer is their acceptable substitute for experience. They don't get the nuance and nuanced history that the streamer knows but don't share to the audience.

[@ItsRandomGames-irg]

14:00 most insane kiddish low from AK. I haven't seen anything only a low hit in the whole game.

[@arw1113]

K-Wiss goes straight into K-Wise

[@JunmarPasion]

Great intense fight!

[@JustAnotherRandomGamer]

People saying Knee and Arslan or any other Tekken legend are "washed" are just attention seeking jealous haters. If we were still playing TK7 and they stop getting to top 16s in major tourneys, then maybe they are washed. But Tekken 8 is new and different. It is a big "meta" change.

[@Frizzy125]

Just give knee and arsalan some time and they will be back on track

[@kaminoyami30]

the mf who said it was one sided T_T

[@hermannkayode]

wait i hope they saved the replay video finals on the ps5 console lol, anyway great finals, so happy for AK !!!

[@syahrules]

AK is the only shaheen player I know that makes Shaheen looks really fun to play. His slide transitions and optimized combos in every situation makes shaheen looks so appealing to play. I mean Lowhigh Is still one of the GOAT shaheen players of course.

[@Frizzy125]

You should watch Ahsan Ali vs joka from BAAZ gauntlet Ahsan destroyed jokas feng

[@aharris82]

That was some good ass Tekken! Random question, what are your thoughts on Bruce coming back to Tekken 8?

[@elfaranelasul6886]

it is the most hype, more hype than sf6

[@K-Wiss]

Let’s not put two bad bitches against each other, SF6 is doing great as well and I’m happy to see it

[@RejectHumanityReturn2Monke]

No need to compare, man. Both were amazing and coincidentally the underdogs won. UMA was unsponsored, spent his personal money to make it to the event, the Taiwan FGC wasn't even cheering for him until he made top 8. Then we have AK who turned pro at 13 when he came in 3rd in Tekken Global for Tekken Tag 2, where JDCR placed 2nd, and for the last 5 years, kept placing 2nd and one even against Arslan during Evo Japan 2019. It was gratifying for both. No one really believed in UMA now he has sponsors wanting him on their team and AK finally breaking the 2nd place curse and got his revenge win against Arslan.

‘Good ass tekken!’

[@drewgunner14]

GOOD ASS TEKKEN!

[@melvinshine9841]

"He's won in every single continent." Hmm, wasn't aware there had been Tekken tournaments in Antarctica. That's a joke, I know what K-Wiss meant. It's fitting that AK finished it with a slide. I was expecting Arslan to win, but both guys played out of their minds, outside of some mistakes here and there. I don't care what anyone says, high level is still amazing to watch.

[@zenreos3442]

After all that happened in his PBE org he still carried their banner. So to those who don't know PBE(Playbook Esport) they like dissolve because they cant pay anyone in the org, AWOL the owner has a huge debt to the players and the coaches. AK is even paying the salary of their PUBG Mobile team because they were the champion team. AK is the goat he is supporting the org with his own money.

[@franksterkb891]

ma boy AK!

[@JoyKazuhira]

this was a veteran ladder. i want ak to win this, hes been around longer. he broke the curse, no longer Mr. 2nd place

[@crackcodes4014]

I don’t know what’s wrong with the people over there. Is that pure hatred toward Arslan? come on, If Arslan wins for the 10th time he deserve it. We came to watch and enjoy the tournament. Why acting so offensive against him. It’s everyones choice to support whoever he likes but without being offensive.

[@thewebadventurer2958]

I don't even know why you Arslan/Pakistani fans are so insecure about this. They don't hate Arslan, but they love rooting for the underdog. Like, everyone was just as loud and just as against Knee when they were cheering for Anakin in Combo Breaker 2019, for example, and when Lil Majin fought JDCR in Evo 2018. Almost NO ONE was cheering for JDCR in this fight, and EVEN the commentators were on Lil Majin's side.

[@janematthews9087]

It's the Spirit of the Americana. They love winners, but they love underdog stories more. And they love fallen hero stories the best. A story with all three? This is sugar to them.

[@azurefredrikssen396]

"pure hatred" is an unbelievable exaggeration.

[@kantokuu]

I sense pride getting hurt and immense insecurity.

[@brentearnshaw4935]

There plenty of pakistanis there, but ak is the underdog, of course theyll root for him
