Some of the movement on display makes me think people might be singing a different tune about Tekken 8 in a couple of years once people get really good at it. If past trends are anything to go by, what we are seeing here will eventually be standard for high level play and the best of the best will be able to do even more.

I completely agree. Once the knowledge and skill rises, the game will continue to be so impressive. The ONLY concern is the attraction to actual Casino gameplay that tends to come with DLC designs. Eddy is super guilty of this, even if he's not top tier

- Went pro at such a young age - 5 Years of 2nd place finishes at international tournaments - Got his visa to the US denied 3 times - The lone PH rep that went to NA in a 1600 man bracket - A runback of EVO Japan 2019 - Sticking with shaheen all through out the lifespan of Tekken7 regardless of nerfs After winning CB it was leaked on reddit that PBE has disbanded with the CEO owing massive debt to players and coaches, the only reason why AK still wears the PBE colors is because he feels bad for their championship roster pubg team. He pays for their salaries using his tournament winnings AK really earned this win!!!

Ngl in recent years Tekken has had hype moments in CB (Rickstah vs Knee a few years back comes to mind) but this might be the best Top 8 for Tekken in Combo Breaker (with an incredible Grand Finals set to close it out) in quite some time. We’ll probably be talking about AK’s run and Arslan’s run through loser’s to make it to Grands in the foreseeable future. Literally, a story 5 years in the making that started with Arslan first winning Evo Japan against AK and now AK getting his run back in a new game.

I'm sorry.... well first of all you better learn to read because I wrote that I wanted to explain my negative comment immediately but the guy was immediately so hurt in his little world that he didn't even need 5 seconds to banish it. In contrast to Tekken 7, the game is much more geared towards aggressive gameplay (see e.g. heat function). Mashers and cheap champs are more preferred because there is no real counterplay anymore, unless you really play in the high ranks with wo you memorize the moves of each champion in detail. Sorry again if your little fan brain doesn't understand this. He's welcome to leave the childish ban in. so have fun to think about this and stfu. :D

And also one of the reasons why most philippine players don't give a shit about which side you're on, cause whatever side is available to play on in the arcades at that time is what you get to play on, so which side AK is playing on won't matter because of that. just a god like play style on AK

Agreed on crowd mics! And I think the presence of more may even incentivize crowds to be louder in certain regions. It really creates a special experience having that type of atmosphere. I do think home crowds could have a better appreciation of high level play though as you alluded to, rather than only cheering loudly after their favorites win. There should be a certain "code of the duel" that allows people to be nasty haters during the match and celebrators of the show after it. I'd like to see you seek out more opportunities on the circuit to co-commentate with other up-and-comers in that field to develop chemistry with them. Maybe online tournaments are the most manageable at the moment for a resume. Additional experience might even help unlock a new level for your play. I feel like with your general attention to numerous scenes and the history of Tekken, your ability to diagnose, dissect, and disseminate player intentions in the moment, your sense of the heartbeat of action, and your humility/ear to criticism, this would be the perfect collaborative endeavor to really vault your ability to contribute to the Tekken ecosystem. It was great seeing how hype you were alone in your CB room for this! It was like watching Gerry Bertier fist pumping for his boys in the championship haha. What an amazing showcase of T8!

Personally I feel like these match/tournament reviews should be done as one big video cause ultimately splitting them up like this doesn't really help with anything. If you plan on watching the entire tournament you're going to have to sit through hours of footage no matter how you cut it and if you're just looking for a specific match then it's inconvenient having to wait a day or two for it to get uploaded. Plus it's kinda messy imo having the same tournament split into several videos it seems simpler and neater to have it all in one video.
