100%? Lol. Rage drive inputs would give him the jumping uppercut not df1. He did wavedash, f, df+1 and probably realized he was out of range or something
@@kakimotoK20 In T7, iirc, you can do (f *, df1+4) for fast rage drive input and you'll get (df1) when you fuck it up. And ppl do wavu cancel into Rage Drive all the time, its to realign the timing to match the wake up, and that's exactly the perfect timing and spacing for T7 Rage Drive.
@@sbilly17 guys learn yalls inputs… now if there’s some secret tech please let me know I’m not some combo wizard but if you are wave dashing or just dashing the f*df 1+4 doesn’t work. It’s the same a kaz “perfect” electric input f*df+2 it doesn’t work if you dash into it you get df2
This is how Tekken 8 could (and should) be, once characters like Yoshi, Dragunov, Nina, Jin, etc., are adjusted. A game very different from Tekken 7, no longer based solely on neutral and baiting a whiff (which I've always found boring), but more focused on the ability to manage pressure, both defensively and offensively, as well as constant interactions. A different game, but no less technical, rewarding, and engaging.
Even the best competitive Kaz player is not immune from the classic Kaz experience. Playing Kaz is not just a 50-50 mixup, but also a 50-50 combo drop when trying to maximize damage. That’s why it’s always entertaining when someone makes it with him to top 8 💯
The hwoarang is sick af. Got pretty unlucky with soke stage interactions but one of the best hwoarang players I ever seen. Was so fun to watch. This whole set was like a pinnacle anime battle
Jesus fucking Christ look at Keisuke. At 3:33 he punched out of a power crush and then electrics him out of another one that next second. What a monster.
potentially noob question: what exactly is the counterplay to hwoarang's dragon lash? mid move that's + on block + tracks sounds crazy powerful to me because most moves can't have all three of those at the same time
It’s only plus 1 on block, once you recognize the Hwo player’s patterns you can float with a jab or challenge with a CH. It’s a strong move that forces both Hwo and the opponent to study patterns and adapt. If they try to float Hwo needs to do his 10frame, if they get a read on that and block Hwo loses his turn etc
Ooh didn't know that you could float him off his DL. I swear that the move looks like it's at least +4 on block. Glad to know that it's only +1. That changes everything in my strats against DL spamming hwos. Thanks a lot man!
@@dale5654 No worries man! Hwo is a hell of a match up to get down right. Replays are your best friend when trying to find your options, keep that in mind and you're golden! ^^
At first I was wondered why he delays B2,4 in the beginning after low parry then WS1+2(for more wall carry maybe?), I think it happened twice and both times the heat burst whiffed, but at one of the round he finally realised he shouldn't do that.
Why wasn't keisuke using his heat in the rounds where Edge was constantly on him to disrupt the aggression? Some rounds keisuke died without using heat at all
i doubt it. wouldn't be hype at all for most people, and choosing not to reveal at twt and instead at game awards for a tekken character would be weird af
@@HypanozAnna is for Season 2. She was hinted at during the Season 2 reveal. Since the final Season 1 character is revealed at Game Awards, I'm 99% it's a guest character.
Okay Heihachi Mishima is not dead Jun is not dead Kazuya Mishima is not dead Now there is Reina I think Heihachi always wanted to take the world because kazumi said "we hachijos have existed to kill scum like you" The ending of Jin winning the last fight is not canon to me because he took a hell of a beating, we all know kazuya is the strongest ... So kazuya takes over the world put it in chaos Just imagine how shocking it would be to see tekken 9 with the world in Kazuya's hand... There is more beauty in chaos Then in tekken 9 kazuya fight heihachi and reina... but how without the devil gene? So I don't think they lost their power... Without the devil gene there is no fun.... I want to see devil jin vs devil reina... I guarantee kazuya will beat reina... Meanwhile As jin was thrown, he may disappear for a while and comeback as a DLC... They may keep updating the game so the story continues and while kazuya fight Reina and heihachi, someone will be saving Jin.... The story will be going 2 way then he comes back to put an end to the mishima bloodline On the other hand if jin's ending is canon, the world is at peace and Jun saved kazuya... Jun may cure kazuya.. when jin is getting beaten by heihachi and reina... Kazuya will come save Jin but it would destroy Kazuya's badass character if he turns good.... When all mishima will be under one roof, heihachi will begin the holy mishima speech talking about the devil gene, ogre, mishima bloodline... Remember that reina hates Jun
protecting Kazuya's shoes with them low parries!
Tbf those jays are pretty important since kazuya stores them in a room right behind where he sits
Shit to clean to be touched
@@Shoji_Akira
Little known fact,"Fukitobe!" means "DONT CREASE THE FRONT!" in Japanese.
Thats how you know Kazuya is a sneakerhead. cant let anyone scuff his shoes.
"I can't let you get close! (to my J's)"
@@CesarJoseeekazuya must've known chael sonnen lol
The characters are also Korean and Japanese this match is Legendary and personal haha
But Kazuya isn't Japanese anymore. (Relinquished Japanese Nationality)
@@aliman498still, he technically IS japanese, based on his bloodline
And both Korean and Japanese are also known for strong fighting game players
Legendary!
Keisuke dropping all PEWGFs and optimizing those combos with B 2 was pure cinema
He did a full PEWGF combo in the next match against edge
Which time stamp is that@@tekkenkeyboard6559
It's an option select.
5:03 story mode Kazuya🔥🔥🔥
Ikuzo
ITS ALL OVER MY SCREEN AND BODY
😂😂😂
at 13:19 keisuke 100% is doing t7 ragedrive by mistake due to muscle memory
Nice thought
Real

This is peak tekken.
When u watch these characters instead of drag and lets say nina this game looks so fun crazy isnt it?
I've never seen so many low-parries in a single set that was insane
keisuke spamming wavu😭
Lol the thumbnail TMM just can’t control himself 😅😂
He BAGOOSHED
After seeing this I still can’t believe the incompetence of Namco, Devil Jin is in serious need of a nerf for fucks sake
Long Live Lord Keisuke!
additionally Keisuke and Edge's side profile makes them looks like twins
8:03 This has to be the deadliest Kazuya combo I've seen at a Tournament🙆😭🔥
Kazuya is wearing white clothes to hide the stains.
This is how Tekken 8 could (and should) be, once characters like Yoshi, Dragunov, Nina, Jin, etc., are adjusted.

I enjoy movement spacing and whiff punishment etc. But I do agree T7 was just too rewarding defensively
It’s already like this at high level
the number of low parries keisuke did was insane, tekken is sooo fun to watch
@3:47 Even kazuya didn’t know he was about to hellsweep. Not a single frame of crouchdash.
Edge took the revenge in grand finals by defeating keisuke twice resetting the bracket ..
Yeah but bagoosh
6:50 that sidestep and wavu got mainman hands malfunctioning
Nah he was just pointing at hwoarangs goofy ass
@@Cherokeechuck9😂😂

Im just glad that he doesnt activate rage art missinput while trying to do parricide fist like 99% of Kazuya's main 😅
This entire sequence here that started at 8:03 is just insane
Bagoosh
1:50 Little did he know.....
The Kaz pick is really refreshing.
This TWT has been really nice with char variety in the finals. I'm super happy to see it
Keisuke vs mainman who would win
mainman combos are better😊
This actually interesting to watch. Make it happen mainman!
Keisuke, has to be
I’d bagoosh all over the place
not me
just proves this game has character so close to each other in power that it just takes a good player to use them
My top 3:
Yagami vs Chanel
Keisuke vs edge
Ulsan vs atif (ewc)
Watch THE REMATCH - KEISUKE VS EDGE SHAHEEN
The hwoarang is sick af. Got pretty unlucky with soke stage interactions but one of the best hwoarang players I ever seen. Was so fun to watch. This whole set was like a pinnacle anime battle
bagus (read: bagoosh) in my language means good
The commentators moaned like crazy with Kazuya's combos! I enjoyed this finals a lot
7:01 man screaming low parry like he is an anime protagonist
I'm glad I was able to witness it live on stream. It was hype af, and I agree it probably was the best T8 set to date.
Seeing Kazuya in grand finals is awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The best pilots of my two main characters having an insane set🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’m taking notes 📝
This is the tournament viable Kazuya of my dreams.
Kazuya out hear low parrying so hwoarang doesn't crease his jays
and not a single rage art, edge was super agressive even when keisuke was in rage , imagine if he popped those rage arts, this guy is a machine
He’s an amazing Kazuya 💖💖💖
Its nice seeing a kaz handle mr XOXO
i used to watch JDCR heihachi for the badoosh.
Now it's Keisuke
absolute cinema
Jesus fucking Christ look at Keisuke. At 3:33 he punched out of a power crush and then electrics him out of another one that next second. What a monster.
8:05 wtf😭😭😭😭
What was the other set that mainman said is a must watch? I didn't quite catch what he said

Is this gonna be the first time Kazuya wins a championship in competitive play?
Glad Kaz and Hwo made it this far. Kaz players wanna prove to the world that he's strong and the world wants to prove to Hwo players that he's strong.
At first I was wondered why he delays B2,4 in the beginning after low parry then WS1+2(for more wall carry maybe?), I think it happened twice and both times the heat burst whiffed, but at one of the round he finally realised he shouldn't do that.
This is the best Tekken 8 set in year 1
Img the final round game 4 got me hype as hell
I haven't seen a Kazuya this entertaining since BoaLuvB.
THIS WAS INSAAAANE
OmG, how we gonna convince Harda to buff Kazuya again , Damn it, man ❤
The difference between the character carrying the player and the player carrying the character
Two coolest characters. Wish they'd give kazuya back that intimidation I got from tekken 2. Maybe make the character more difficult to punish 🤔
I feel like I saw wvery character represented at lcq
7:51 You mainman made me a TEKKEN fan!
@TheMainManSWE you gotta react to Keisuke vs Edge
Godlike performance
seeing a howarang forced to respect and crouch every second is so satisfying?
how does it feel to crouch half the match and respecting mr spam?
Goated Kazuya play
Kazuya vs Mainman who would win
that's the definitely THE SET
THE GOAT!
gotta give it up to Keisuke, but wow Edge did play out of his fucking mind.
Someone count the low parries
Those low parries start making a lot more sense, given how lacking Hwo’s mids are. Ducking against Hwo is low risk, absolute reward.
Why wasn't keisuke using his heat in the rounds where Edge was constantly on him to disrupt the aggression? Some rounds keisuke died without using heat at all
Bcz heat is risky and can be sidestepped if ur opponent anticipates it and launch u for free.
Goated set
A character revolved around a ton of 50-50s is bound to get to the top at some point. It's just statistics
dropsuke never fails to amaze us lol; Great set
Awesome
Kei "Low-Parry" Suke
What is meaning of that «bagoosh»?
Love not seeing Dragon or nina at top finals! this is awesome
LOW PARRY DEMON
Mainman would be a great cornerman for keisuke instead of Double. His input would be gold since he can see what Keisuke cant from audience pov
this right here MASKU
my jeans 🥵
Trying to crease kaz's shoes is ill advised
Kazuya fan's like
THESE LOW PARRIES
They just hinted Anna Williams at global finals. Helicopter.

Whoever reacted to "comfort" they way they did, we found the gay guy.😂😂
yo what happened to boa. ever since tekken 8 came out keisuke is the best kazuya abnd boa no where to be seen
kazuya needs low and mid buffs electric is not essential anymore
Okay Heihachi Mishima is not dead
Jun is not dead
Kazuya Mishima is not dead
Now there is Reina
I think Heihachi always wanted to take the world because kazumi said "we hachijos have existed to kill scum like you"
The ending of Jin winning the last fight is not canon to me because he took a hell of a beating, we all know kazuya is the strongest ... So kazuya takes over the world put it in chaos
Just imagine how shocking it would be to see tekken 9 with the world in Kazuya's hand... There is more beauty in chaos
Then in tekken 9 kazuya fight heihachi and reina... but how without the devil gene? So I don't think they lost their power... Without the devil gene there is no fun.... I want to see devil jin vs devil reina... I guarantee kazuya will beat reina... Meanwhile As jin was thrown, he may disappear for a while and comeback as a DLC... They may keep updating the game so the story continues and while kazuya fight Reina and heihachi, someone will be saving Jin.... The story will be going 2 way then he comes back to put an end to the mishima bloodline
On the other hand if jin's ending is canon, the world is at peace and Jun saved kazuya... Jun may cure kazuya.. when jin is getting beaten by heihachi and reina... Kazuya will come save Jin but it would destroy Kazuya's badass character if he turns good.... When all mishima will be under one roof, heihachi will begin the holy mishima speech talking about the devil gene, ogre, mishima bloodline...
Remember that reina hates Jun
Another point that tier whoring is wrong and you should stay with your mains 😮
Don't bagoosh in ur jeans u will lose aura
Its gadooshed 😂
Hwo was good Anyway. GG both
React to atif vs daniel mado please
Tmm edge won the finals but keisuke played super well
Disappointed because he lost today
Bagoosh in indonesia language ( BAGUS ) it means " great " lol
The truth is on Hwoarang every char is shining he is wack asf.
some1 won with Kaz? RIP next patch nerfed to death.
