Aris on commentary was absolutely brilliant. "LOOK AT THE TIME!" "LOOK AT ITTTTTTTTT" he added so much hype and excitement to an already great set. I honestly don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this set is one of the best Tekken sets ever. Both of you guys gave it everything. It's an-all time classic.

I constantly showed THIS set to other people not familiar with fighting games, and watched Aris’ “director’s cut commentary” of this match. Am happy you finally talked about it in-depth here. Just in time because I decided to go to Evo Japan because I live here and Tokyo is not too far. Picked up King again and am watching your videos again. Will not go far at all because I am bad at fighting games, but it’s gonna be a lot of fun! Thanks for providing your perspective after so long!!

I think at this point jdcr was considered the best in the world too he was dominating people this year Then the other things, the rock eye brows, the smile, the commentary.. majins face at the start looking super nervous it’s something I can always come back too and still love every second of
