He would have been eaten alive as he did in the first match of top 8. He was lucky that Atif was desperate for his first big win, that’s why he had few moments 😊
Kaz is not that bad as TMM complaining about all the time. The top tier characters in TMM's tier list hardly win any tournament or place top 8. You know his tier list is only for lower level tekken players.
Keisuke definitely gained lots of new fans after his performance in this tournament, very entertaining play style and he seems like a funny guy with him wavedashing to the ring and laughing after winning by spamming Kazuya’s 1+4 lol Congrats to Atif!
Mental strength of atif and arsalan is amazing, other players maybe equally good in skills but mental toughness is all that counts in collecting trophies
@@mkbb91 biased crowd? my guy people can cheer for whoever they want, the fact is Keisuke's Kaz was enjoyable and refreshing to watch. Bro stole the show
Being here for this set was fucking crazy. The final in general lol. That combo drop at the end had us all depressed 🥲 but god damn I wanna see this Kazuya more. Good ass tekken
God bless Keisuke for going all the way to the final game, last round and then throwing, ensuring us those juicy Kazuya ~~fixes~~ buffs on the next patch, the rest is up to you now Murray Maintaining the Agenda, is the Top Priority
@@danielelia2256 it's the tracking on it. It's the same with laws nunchucks. They both need track buffs for the tornado or a new tornado move that'll always be reliable.
I love the playing style of Atif and most of the Pakistani players they are so aggressive and just keeps on attacking you oh yeah congratulations to all the players in CEO 2024 😊
dragunov literally drops any 4 4 combo while slightly off axis. Atif here always had to quick sidestep df1 after sway1 or it completely drops. Stop being dumb
@Trinioutsider34 yea but it was over the top, they even acknowledged it by nerfing the aggressive nature of the game to make sure there's more counter play. There was way too many homing attacks which are dumb af, when it's tekkan and it's meant to be tactical/counter play.
People don't usually give Atif's defense enough credit. His movement and reaction speed are even more cracked than Arslan's when he's playing at the top of his form. People see him being aggressive and all, but from my perspective Atif wins mainly when his defense is working. Case in point, his ability to punish electrics, df+2s, and combo drop with the maximum level of dmg possible were the reason why he won this match. His level of aggression is just a facade.
Best match I've watched in a while, great action, great tense moments, the best Steve and Rip commentary I've heard recently, great crowd. Respect for CEO organization. 🙌
After watching this I love the fact that Kazuya has made it to a Grand Finals :D. Alas, this also showed me once again that they didn’t buff the hitbox of df1 enough :(
As a Kazuya player that two drops were shocking to watch...like i didn't even think that was such easy to drop that before, two times in row...if a super strong player like Keisuke did that wrong that means we Kazuya players are beasts 🦁 Congratulation Atif Butt and Keisuke really well played 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@atif.m9065 I agree some of the time rage art can be cheap, but it’s a part of the game and Atif has to be aware of it at all times. Regardless of rage art, he made it to top 2. Any player can rage art man. He’s still a great player

Kazuya is almost perfect as he is. Can we just adjust some things to make combos, even off axis situations, a little more consistent? Kazuya dropped combos in round 2 and round 5 were heartbreaking…
@@iris089 he did do the more optimal combos tho, as u can see he didn't do much sneak cancel into 3,1 into another sneak when off axis. He just goes for the tornado after fcdf1,4
@@Kaizer_Ulysses the point is, why demand it in 1 character yet other characters don't need it. That's why these kind of games should be balanced especially Tekken since it's a 3D game.
Take it as it is. The majority will always cheer for the underdog. Especially since Atif is using a very strong character the underdog narrative for Keisuke is pushed even harder.
@@galihrusyadie1629 lol you're too late to realize the fact that legends like Knee and others are visiting lahore for training more often, so by saying "Still long years to go" sound like you're outdated from the tekken scene
Maaaaannnn seeing my long time main guy DRAGUNOV win is amazing after being weak in T7 is amazing . Congrats Atif. Excellent work To see A Mishima in the Finals finally....esp a Kazuya it's been years 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Seeing Kazuya in a finals... This just lifted Tekken 8 up. Keisuke played SO good damn. I know Atif won but as a Dragunov main myself after watching that set I kinda think Keisuke is the better player. Drag is just so much easier and has so many options with his pressure. Atif really is good at maintaining ruthless aggression with small little timing mix-ups. He caught Keisuke with the 1,2,1 so many times.
as a drag main i had exact same thought watching Keisuke gameplay just seem more ''honest'' whatever that means,i to tekken king with drag and im only just an above average player very oppressive but it is what it is ! i did want Keisuke to win
I was so happy to see Kazuya in a grand finals match and kudos to Keisuke for that phenomenal performance
Yes congratulations from Pakistan 🇵🇰💗 good run
Been a while since Evo 2019 Knee use Kazuya in the Grand finals before switching into Devil Jin in Tekken 7
no happy always seeing dragunov in the finals

Mental strength of atif and arsalan is amazing, other players maybe equally good in skills but mental toughness is all that counts in collecting trophies
Tekken 8 needs more product placement from Adidas, Under Armour, or Nike for limited character costumes.
Kazuya in grand finals is fucking crazy insane.
It's been so long. Last I can remember is when Knee pulled him out vs Arslan at EVO.
Dragunov in grand finals is so predictable
i was really hoping to see keisuke win, freakin love kazuya

Damn these "buffed" twin pistons are busted, Keisuke dropped several combos because of them
He dropped combos because he was off axis that happens with many characters not just Kazuya
Stop downplaying Kazuya dawg.Keisuke is off axis while doing the combi

outstanding performance by atif great champ we proud of you !
Most aggressive playstyle finals I ever watched in last few years
exactly
Remember Bandai Namco wants this to be the most aggressive Tekken out there. People use to complain how defensive the older Tekken games were.
@@Trinioutsider34 And people were f*cking right.
Exactly
@Trinioutsider34 yea but it was over the top, they even acknowledged it by nerfing the aggressive nature of the game to make sure there's more counter play. There was way too many homing attacks which are dumb af, when it's tekkan and it's meant to be tactical/counter play.
Atif butt didn't use a single super move and the shows how good he is..
super move? you mean rage? if you want a comparison keisuke never used Heat Smash.
But he's playing with one of the most busted characters of the game (if not the top one) xd
Hes good but let's be real its dragunuv vs Kazuya

Two Kazuyas in Grands on the same day.
One in Smash Ultimate by Riddles, and the other right here in Tekken 8.
Good day for Kazuya fans.

Was rooting for Keisuke since Kazuya is my favorite but this was a great match and congrats to Atif. 🔥
Wow great game Atif Butt😱
Keep Shining Buddy💪❤️
Kazuya mains are the real og man he is such a hard character to play with yet I like him and this dude Keisuke did great job against broken character.

Hard slap to those who were saying he is only winning because of Akuma.
he's winning because of OP characters, he's an OP abuser lmao
I don't even know him, but honestly, he should've lost this one.
He can play every character
Dragunov has won 3 major tournaments in a row. He's a good player but relies on op characters.
Nobody cares if he can when he always abuses the top tier characters@@ShahzadiVoice

Keisuke, you got my respect, bro. ❤
