This guy got me interested in Tekken after watching Evo 2019. Even as someone who had never seen Tekken before, it was very clear that Arslan and Knee were on a different level than everyone else. It was incredible to watch Knee pull out eveything he knew, play several different characters, and still lose. I'll be very happy if they can run it back in this years Evo.
