We all understand that connection problems and a relaxed (non-tournament) atmosphere played a role in the outcome of the match. However, this match still confirms that you are an Evo-level player. I personally admire your skills and contributions to the Tekken community. It was because of you that I once decided to start training seriously, and also make Kazuya my main character in T8. Thank you for the video, and I also hope to continue the guides on T8 characters.
He probably keeps it on to give them recognition because he's usually very nice about it But I do think he should minimize it and put it on like the bottom right side to not block from the game as much
Mainman's reaction when Arslan picked Xiayou was comparable to his reaction when he found out that Max (Arcade Quest) was an Asuka main. A really sweet thing to witness live. (Edit: Now Arslan's actually picking up Xiayou making this even more amusing)
Honestly this match was greatly overshadowed by the lag. The lag made it look like Arslan actually has a chance against TMM. But nvm let him have some moments in the sun
Nah, its just an excuse you people use to cope with the fact that players like knee and arslan use the strongest characters to win while mainman used Kazuya which is always mistreated by the devs
@@NorbertoRivera-mm2qn i love TMM but the lag helps + he's been practicing his kazuya since the release of the demo while arslan just picked up azucena since release
Here we can see what rollback netcode brings for bad connections. Even though moment to moment gameplay sucks due to rollbacks, at least when you launch you can do your combo normally
@@via_negativa6183 You're never going to get a Japanese developer to adopt a foreign software unless a broadly used industry standard. But all the FGC already knows about "Not Made Here."
bro even arslan approved Mainman's level , he complementing him all the time about the combo execution and mix ups , he also said that mainman already know everything , and i'm really wanna see mainman against knee , and i'm pretty sur mainman will get some W too cuz his t8 level is muche better than t7
215 MS connection.. Ouch. Although looking at the gameplay here think we can put this idea to bed that tekken 7 has better netcode. This would not have been playable at all in tekken 7
I don't understand some comments trying to protect Arslan, he also was impressed by TMM and how he was playing, i saw his video and said word for word "what are this combos he knows everything" or "he's so talented", their lag was comparable, that doesn't mean TMM is better than Arslan he just played insanely good even tho this was not a LAN game :). The video was fun and that's it.
Eman because in like every other video game the strongest fighters lore wise are the strongest in the game 99% of the time . Kazuya deserve being good.
I really respect TMM for calling himself "Lag Champion". Obviously the lag was in mainman's favor, but his Kazuya gameplay is really the best I've ever seen in Tekken 8. MainMan's Kazuya has surpassed Knee's Kazuya.
The church of ora has prevailed once again.. Masku man was so strong he made arslan ran away after 4-1 and i don't blame him.. So called goat got annihilated
It wasn't a choke. Azucena has auto parries/counters while she is in stance in heat. Trying to high you get get a punch in the face, trying to low she gets a free launch. Both of these also refill her heat gauge. I think he was just having fun, and seeing if it would work
Is anyone else getting sick and tired of fighting Victor and Reina and Jin online? That's literally all I get. I've seen one Steve and one Bryan since release. Almost had a heart attack when I played against a Raven because I started to think the game only had 3 characters in it. Ffs.
watched your first video uploaded more than a year ago you vs deji. said you would shit on arslan ash and then this video popped up am just glad you did
I think TMM have a better online experience, that’s what make the difference there. You can argue as you want everyone but that was a fair fight with the same restrictions on both side. TMM did a pretty great job. Btw, we can’t tell who is the best just with a simple first to 5.
hey, can you do a EWGF tutorial for pad? saw your other but i just can’t get the timing down or build the muscle memory to get it consistently. Sometimes i practice for too long that i lose feeling of even doing the motion properly to get a regular wgf. thanks either way for the content
a sudden burst of chinese tone after getting hit with heat burst X'D 2:21 P.S. So proud to be rooting for this guy! so sad we don't see him often in tournaments :)
Not to mention the damage, if everything connects right the fights only last 10-12 seconds They seriously need to look up the damage numbers and work on it
Yea T8 is a laggy game lol. Lotta wifi players, lotta people at 130+ ms so you have to play dumb down tekken. Its a great game when you. Can play without restrictions or hesitation because your opponent isnt DB instant transmissioning and frane skipping.
Did you guys know they took the chicken mechanic out of the game??? Was playing with my cousin and he’s sitting there spamming parries w Asuka and Lili (I play Steve so pretty much everything I do is parry-able) and I’m trying to chicken them. 30 minutes later I still can’t get it so I look it up. CHICKEN IS GONE. So just parry to your hearts content I guess. It was very frustrating
For all those saying Azu is A or even S tier: Azucena isn't S or A, she is B at best. Her priority is really bad, a lot of her moves get beaten out (even running 3, 2). Her heat burst move is very short range and gets beaten by many others. Her frames are pretty bad as well, most of her attacks give up her turn and she has very few actual frame traps (moves that put her on plus so that she can attack again), I think she has two, maybe three. She has a lot of mid high strings that don't jail so she can be punished fairly easily. She's also not very fast, she's not really a rush-down character, she's ironically more like Paul and less like Josie, Kat, and Chloe, the problem is she's not as fast as Josie, Kat, or Chloe were and she doesn't do as much damage as Paul does. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she's a bad character, she has some solid stand alone moves, she has decent damage and wall carry, her Liber and back turn stances have some solid options as well and are less gimmicky than Josie's SWS or Kat's harrier stance, but all in all, Azu is B tier, she has too many issue to be A tier and once you know how to fight her and are patient around her stance, it becomes very difficult for her to open an you up.
i thought i was the only one. but it turns out there seems to be a glitch with Kaz and Jun only them their special intro they have no facial animations like a PS1 game lmfao
I keep getting a communication error on my PS5. I tried everything: Try diff DNS settings, reset modem, tried WiFi and LAN, changed from 2.4 GHZ to 5 GHZ of speed, everything
Without lag this would obviously look very different. Huge thanks to Arslan for playing me again!

Ye but is also dogshit and weak as fuck. They destroyed him in T8
Wtf is with his name lol

I’ve never been this early to an upload, something so mesmerising about someone really good play this game. I’m LOVING T8 so far
This is the Tekken where TMM goes pro (real). He smashes everyone that thinks he’s a Scrupman.
😂 Then you woke up.
Lag or not, your mastery of Kazuya is undeniable at this point. Good stuff MM!
215 MS connection.. Ouch. Although looking at the gameplay here think we can put this idea to bed that tekken 7 has better netcode. This would not have been playable at all in tekken 7
Wow. That guy from the trailer is really good.
Hopefully we see you in tourny
It’s official Scrupman > knee. knee could never make asslan choke like this.

That fast paced aggressive gameplay of T8 suits him very well.
Suits him, he is the strongest lore wise

@@emanthescripter1076it has to do with jin being OP lore wise and gameplay wise
Eman because in like every other video game the strongest fighters lore wise are the strongest in the game 99% of the time . Kazuya deserve being good.
the combo at 7:52 was sick
Combo G@y 😁
Damn thanks for time stamping this must've missed it the first time, gonna for sure learn this
I really respect TMM for calling himself "Lag Champion". Obviously the lag was in mainman's favor, but his Kazuya gameplay is really the best I've ever seen in Tekken 8. MainMan's Kazuya has surpassed Knee's Kazuya.
the Knee jokes were fucking hilarious

I like how MainManswe switched to using the same attacks 2-4 times in order to throw Ashlan off. Thats free damage
Stop downplaying yourself, Maybe T8 is your time to shine old man!
I like that part where he moan seductively when he dropped a combo
Idk why but among other kaz player, TMM is the most satisfying to watch
This was an amazing set! GGs to TMM and Arslan.

and one thing about these jin niggas is that they start the round with d2 every single time
I would really love to see mainman in a major tournament
He's played at Evo and gotten out of pools. He's a top level player just not a top pro level.
Best Tekken streamer vs Best tekken player
Arslan got his ass beat lol
Lag or whatever. But great sequences, really loved it. Such a dominating performance. You should take part in tornaments.
When i saw that Xiaoyu I thought justice was about to be served. Oh well.
8:18 bro deliver 4 ewgf in row to Ash wow
All perfect too
i told u tmm is the best in the universe lets go if he went to a tournament with his best mains had no fear but had respect he would be our champion
Aside from the lag, Main gave the best tekken player in the world multiple ewgf sandwiches.
Well Done MMSWE!

I cannot stand the heat mechanics sometimes ☠️
Some characters are extremely overwhelming in heat, devil Jim and king especially.
Fr,pauses in mid fight it's annoying ffs, shouldn't do like 2D does
Not to mention the damage, if everything connects right the fights only last 10-12 seconds
They seriously need to look up the damage numbers and work on it
Arselan is the best dont talk to much you have no trophée champion arselan has 4 trophée champion just you win with lag offline he kick your ass
7:52 😮
This guy is fighting character ghost. i could tell right after the LTG video
Hey mainman next time if Arslan tries to cheese you with Azucenas WR32 you can try to time a f2 or a heat bound. It should work like a charm.
Stronk kazuya , pls tmm join the competition 😊 👍
