Having spent a lot of time over there trying his best to push the Tekken scene and knowing the owners very well, he felt very betrayed and was extremely disappointed. There were some that were recovered, but this clearly upset him a lot, and yet he still pushed forward as the best player in history.

Absolute godlike player from Japan. His win was actually pretty crazy. People did not think Japan had a chance at winning or even doing well during the Tekken world tour finals. People had Korea, Pakistan, and even America doing better than the Japanese. But Japan was red hot out of the gate, because everyone was preparing for each other but not preparing for Japan, and Japan really wanted to prove themselves. Normally you don't think of Japan as underdogs in fighting games, so them doing so well was super hype. It was a sight to see every single Japanese player storm the stage and jump on Chikurin when he won. Just a small note is he's not from Tokyo or Osaka where the vast majority of top players are from. He is from far west Japan so it's been interesting to see the best player in Japan come from there.

In my 20s, I joined the army and had plans of going to school and getting a job but that didn’t happen. What Knee actually said: 제가 20대 초반에 철권을 제일 잘하고 싶어서 열심히 했었는데 (In my early 20s, I wanted to be very best at Tekken and put all my effort into it) 그때 제가 대학교도 그만두고 오직 이제 철권에만 몰두를 했었는데 (At the time, I had dropped out of college and became absorbed into just Tekken) 한국에서는 좋은 대학을 나와서 좋은 직장에 추업하고… 결혼을 하고… 뭐, 이런게 단계 별로 있는데.. (But in Korea.. getting into a good college, getting a good job, getting married.. there are these kinda steps in life and...) 저는 아예 그 쪽에 전혀 관련이 없다 보니까, 뭔가 사회적으로 실패한게 이닐까? (because I had completely separated myself from that [direction in life], couldn't it be said that I had failed, socially speaking.) 그래서 군대를 갔다오면, 철권을 그만 두고 나도… 뭐.. 공부를 해서 대하교를 가고 좋은 직장을 찾고.. 뭐 그런 생각을 한 적 있습니다. (So after returning from my military service, I had thoughts about putting down Tekken, studying to get into college, and finding a good workplace from time to time). The subtitles are leaving out a lot of what Knee said, and many times, they don't match up with what he's saying. For example, the Korean societal expectations appears somewhere in the middle of his paragraph, but the subtitles have it smack in the beginning, when he's talking about getting obsessed with Tekken.

In humans and other primates, the knee joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two joints: one between the femur and tibia (tibiofemoral joint), and one between the femur and patella (patellofemoral joint). It is the largest joint in the human body. The knee is a modified hinge joint, which permits flexion and extension as well as slight internal and external rotation. The knee is vulnerable to injury and to the development of osteoarthritis.

When he said "I wish this game was this big when i was young" I got a glimpse about how good i was in Dota getting banned in internet cafe for being too good and can't find a place to play in our area. Now that dota flourish and i can't back to the days i wish i took Dota like Knee took Tekken into his life. Well i already have a Kid up to this date, maybe i can teach my kid about passion into the Gaming Scene.

[@shak9558]

Same. i used to attend LANs in Europe against a lot of the t1 pros now that play csgo (back in 2010-11 when i was 15). The prize pool was absolute garbage and i went to study instead of pursuing a gaming career. While i dont regret it i do wonder what could have been if i improved alot and became a proper professional gamer.

[@dolgolae]

Man I could relate to this with League of Legends, we had a few small tournaments in our country and my team we won some but the prize pool was so small it wasn't worth it to pursue.

[@catzor4795]

@@ExcuseMyWeebRudeness MOBA. To sum it up, it's a 5-man chess and football hybrid against another 5-man team and every individual would play as single unique chess piece that they think would compliment their team or counter-attack the strategy of their enemy. It's the most mentally engaging kind of online game because just like chess, its the art of brilliant tactics with instantaneous execution and it's like football/soccer because of the back and forth oppositions. A single misclick or bad decision can turn the whole game in a sudden moment.

I notice that a lot of the Asian players especially from Korea and Japan would start off playing a bunch of fightng games.

What I like about knee is his arsenal. Most of the time you see people reaching the final 8 sticking on 1-2 characters (e.g. qudans - DJ, rangchu - panda, eyemusician - yoshi, arslan - zafina, etc.) But knee can adapt depending on his opponents. It's also more entertaining to watch a guy so good in playing multiple characters. He really perfected this game. GOAT together with qudans.

As somebody who is a BB/GG player, and then started playing Tekken and got TGP (although it doesn’t mean much because of how online is rn), the hardest things execution wise are harder than the hardest things on BB/GG. Taunt jet upper, df2 PEWGF, etc. The average difficulty for execution is lower though. Also, Tekken has more book learning.

Tekken is fine but its bandwagon hopping Aris fanboys that mostly consist of 09ers who didn't give an ounce of shit about competitive Tekken (I'm sure many of them probably dabbled in the series casually) during SF4's reign when T6 and TT2 were barren wastelands of competitiveness are annoying. Tekken 7 really isn't that innovative and has been doing the same thing for a while but just brought in ultras and made it easier after TT2 was deemed too hard for most people. This channel being the arbiter of what is considered the "hardest fighting game" is incredibly amusing however, and yes if this was out a few years ago they'd be calling USF4 the hardest fighting game ever. There's a decent case to be made that SF4 is harder than Tekken.

In Korea, the steps people usually take are to finish college, start a good career, and get married, but since I didn't think I had any association with that, I thought I had failed. I thought that I should have joined the army to forget about Tekken and continue with a normal life". It's not that far off from the translation in the video.
