Yamasa | Nobi Interview - EVO Japan 2019

[@lorenzomercuriali2891]

Nobi destroys the stereotype of the timid, stoic, introverted and overly polite Asian player. He’s direct, fresh, open, and not scared to give his opinion and crack some jokes. I loved him in this interview.

[@MrOzzification]

A lot of the players aren't what you'd typically expect judging just from how they appear during tournaments. Guys who are usually incredibly straight faced & don't exhibit much emotion during tournaments like LowHigh & Saint are actually pretty entertaining during their own personal streams. They just have to really harness their quan during tournaments.

[@madil2259]

Agreed

[@taylorbee4010]

Hes an aggressive, thoughtful killer. Like his main.

[@gg.no.re.]

Nobi is a smart guy. He is aware the bubble has potential to burst and is not acting like some others do. He wants the spotlight to stay on Tekken so he does what he can. I’m very curious to see what Bandai Namco and the FGC are going to do to keep people caring about Tekken

"Realistic" lmfao plays clips of Devil Jin and Miguel beating a bear

[@breezy1547]

that had me good aswell

[@thelightseeker94]

Damn i said the same thing 😂

[@UFRAttila]

Realistic, compared to some other games

[@gamingcomedy5]

@@prince5922 you're an idiot if you don't understand sarcasm

[@madil2259]

Actually a lot of the hand to hand combat moves can be done in real life. That's what he meant. Not the juggling though.

[@bitoka2]

Jesus, this interview was like a bullet to the face interview, so direct and to the point. Good shit nobi-san!

[@AndyMacster]

I wish I had Nobi's dedication. I'm literally just some Yellow rank who has been demoted all the way to green and feel so defeated, yet this man plays the world's best, does so wonderfully but not always successfully and sees the silver lining then keeps playing. I envy him so much. Huge respect. He's such a Tekken role model.

[@breezy1547]

Man Nobi always looks so stressed or unhappy in tournaments, this Video showed some really nice facettes of him. great work.

[@thegamer101n]

"There's always something new to learn" really love that advice. Nobi has always been doing so much for the tekken community, all the best for him in the future

[@Lewdology]

I always found Nobi to be pretty dry and uninteresting as a player. This is definitely turning me around. I especially have a lot of respect for his desire and efforts to keep tekken in the spotlight. Good stuff.

[@FartingSpider12]

Nobi is literally one of the funniest and most expressive players in the tekken community. If you find him dry and uninteresting then you clearly have not kept up with him at all

[@JL-xu9xl]

This is so unrealistic statement, he’s well known jolly and funny at local and international scene. He’s somehow jp version of Chanel and Sodam.

[@aeonlinux]

My boy Nobi san. His Steve is one of the best in the world. Best Drag too. Very refreshing to see how honest he is about the game and it's future.

[@nissanbling]

Yesss! Nobi's interview was great, he's got a great personality. Thanks for this!

[@CallousCyclone]

Damn! Really liking this new seris TBS. Great questions, better answers and really fleshing out the roster with just a couple of minutes. *tips hat* Love Nobi's honesty, no BS, just call it for what it is.... was teeny weeny bit expecting him to say he's a dad after the YUYU one =P Much Love and again, ace content!

[@Sangria713]

Really cool how lax these interviews have been so far. Like they've been made to feel comfortable enough to talk freely about what's being asked. Good stuff.

[@XektorOfficial]

Top notch production quality! You and Ochoto really bring out the best of Tekken!

[@ibal8405]

My all time favorite player

[@Wladislav]

Nobi the legend. I hope he can once again achieve the success he had early on in T7. I just love his daring playstyle.

[@bentoboxsnickersbar]

Finally someone with a strong personality and own opinions/ideas. Gotta agree with the other comments, finally a breath of fresh air compared to other top level players who seem like hard working, very nice guys/gals, but mostly just swimming with the tide.

[@noFUN67]

Pretty chill guy. Would like to see more of his steve.

[@cktan7110]

Quality content from ThatBlastedSalami, looking forward to your future interviews

[@yagami999913]

Gotta love the man ! So lively and expressive !

[@jackw5430]

Amazing work. You guys really got the most out of a really fascinating legend of the game. (You've also really stepped up the production - and it's great! - but I really liked in the Nobi interview you did seeing the interviewer and him being a part of the video, particularly because he was doing the interview in Japanese which is very impressive)

[@Gmit666]

This interviews are so good!! Man keep thwm coming

[@Grozdor]

Nobi has that Madara look.

[@tkraid2575]

Lmao what do you mean?

[@shapiropyiannopoulos8724]

For real, he has that wild vibe about him.

[@Александр-р9ч8в]

He looks like a manlier version of Jin from BTS

[@masajmahdiq2472]

Nigga looks like a villain

[@masajmahdiq2472]

[@aldrichmecklemberg9335]

Big thumbs up to the Japanese - they really do give honest and sincere answers to the questions.

[@Vospi]

Thank you! Great work.

[@Adam-deFlon]

Very cool!

[@feints7714]

Nobi had this crazy combo at evo 2015 on the jungle stage that basically got me into competitive tekken.

[@ps3predator]

Amazing guy, I like him! Honestly, the way Tekken implemented 2D chars in Tekken World was THE dopest move for the whole fighting community.

[@djMaki]

amazing interview

[@appleaccount7608]

His personality matches his play style.

[@kd4u49]

best tekken channel so far! I ♥ TBS!

[@balleet210]

Don't worry Nobi-san, Tekken 7 will never be boring.

[@mazin9193]

Great skills with a likeable personality to boot, and baby-loving. I feel that he's a lot easier to crack under pressure compared to the other two best Japanese players, Chikurin and Noroma. But I can't even handle online pressure all that well, it's just inherently tougher for some people than it is for others.

[@justApplay]

His thoughts about Season 2 and Dragunov/Steve were very interesting. Shame the path they took with the balancing was that drastic for some characters.

[@mohammadalfattal2902]

For anyone talking about the "realistic" part Yes nobi is right and i agree with him too He means realistic as a fighting style based game I practice kyokushin karate and jin does exactly the same moves that i learned and not only him almost 90% of the roster practice real life fighting styles with the exact same moves Hwoarong practice taekwando, steve is boxing, brayan is kickboxing, marduk is vale tudo, jozie is muay tai...etc It's just unimaginable how good the characters are in practicing their respective fighting style In terms of how opponent character react, the juggling system, bears and devils are part of tekken lore and to make the game as flashy and exciting as possible It's an arcade game in the end with some simulation aspects

[@parikshit28]

Words of wisdom from my favourite dragunov player

[@jayempreem]

Nobi is Dragunov and Dragunov is Nobi

[@paulespino6462]

I wish the DEVS would make another map with a wall breaks, floor breaks, and a balcony break

[@holden6104]

Completely agreed with his comments on the d2 nerf.

[@SenorChief]

Favorite Japanese player.

[@gtafan110010]

he could be a rapper

[@josepartida1711]

Nobi should host his own variety show 😆 Dude has got charisma

[@shuyinkim2514]

Good interview

[@attorney.93]

Nobi-san

[@Hawk-Nolan]

Great interview! For future interviews maybe you could poll your KZbin/Twitter peeps for some questions to ask. Keep up the good work!

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

Appreciated! Yeah I asked people for questions on the Discord channel, but will reach out more for future interviews.

[@newlife8432]

nice content 👍👍

[@jasonelbow3807]

I just found out you got your youtube name "The Blasted Salami" from a old X-men episode! Lol that pretty cool.

[@EGP_TEKKEN]

Nobi is so blunt lmaoo.

[@Grozdor]

Now I need a Shizu interview if you know what I mean.

[@kajitsui_2491]

This man look good people

[@1Diddums]

Good interview. If you'd like to aid your fellow players in keeping the game alive, don't be shy to ask them: "Is there any character you'd like to see return?" Whether you get an answer regarding the old guard, or wishes for something new, or even contempt at the current roster - it's information for the devs, aswell as conversation fuel to inspire people to push and keep following the game. It's hard to imagine Tekken 8 or any subsequent sequel to this particular version, anytime soon. If the game is currently profitable, and the majority are happy with it in comparison to previous titles - it may be best to build upon it while the fire is hot.

[@thelightseeker94]

[@TheSilentsama]

The face of the most offensive dragunov player of all times..

[@madil2259]

He looks like a male protagonist in a action anime.

[@allendiscaya1970]

[@tonson5214]

All the pros seem to love Mishimas and hate Akuma

[@tysej4]

Akuma is a wild-card but Mishima's are simple... It takes dedicated training to be a good Mishima but it doesn't take nearly as much training to learn how to fight against them. Simple and effective with execution being their main draw. As for fighting them... Well you know what you're getting into.

ㅅㅅ

[@crustman5982]

If you don’t like playing dragonuv because his toe slap doesn’t force crouch you probably weren’t a big fan in the first place. It’s still a really good poke. it cracks me up these guys think he’s dumpster tier now because of it.

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

That's not what he was saying - Nobi still plays Dragunov as well as Steve in tournaments. His main issue is that the character has lost a lot of flavour and isn't as interesting to play anymore.

[@kd4u49]

you can't deny that he's nerfed but he's still SUPER STRONG character

[@maskidle]

kaydie playa that’s very true. i have a friend who’s really good with dragunov and i still struggle with that match up. his wr2 pressure, pokes and all of his shenanigans are strong. it’s kinda hard to keep up with

[@crustman5982]

That Blasted Salami I understand and I’m not claiming to be more knowledgeable than these pros by any means I just think personally he’s more interesting now because he actually has to use more of his really cool move set instead of crutching so hard on one move. Also I didn’t mean he said he was dumpster tier I’ve just heard a few notable in the community people say that

[@crustman5982]

Ajoykumar Thongbam yeah when I said these guys I didn’t necessarily mean nobi I respect his opinion a lot I just meant the bandwagoners
