@@mastakilla7317 jdcr won evo 2017 vs Saint, you can watch it on youtube. And by your standards you cant say knee is above jdcr cuz he hasnt won neither evo or twt
Damn I remember few years ago saint got randomly asked what character he wish to be in tekken 7 next he says ganryu. When asked why because ganryu is OP The man's really true to his word He plays ganryu
JDCR did say in the recent stream that he talked to nobi and both say that dragunov is not that good right now. So nobi suggested that JDCR plays armor king
Let's not take away from Saint. He is so incredibly good at pressuring his opponents, getting them to duck when he wants. The %of df2 that he hits is nuts tbh
JDCR literally made me interested in this tournament because I knew he would be playing AK. And the fact that he took the whole thing with AK even taking down the Fahk that took down Knee, just amazing, imo he is the GOAT of Korea, not only for his playing, but also how humble he is.
i mean they were great in a game that was different than now since the game shifted its gameplay tone alot more the problem is not that they are bad or weak but just too weak to keep up with the other characters
20:50 that is a glitch existed from day 1 till now, never got fixed... after floor break, when they tech roll and get hit by something is registered as the same combo (in Practice mode you still get the hit counts sometimes!). Side note: AK is a bit underrated, he is pretty decent in S4. Almost every character is, but downplayers... of course there are exceptionally good few top row. But, imo even Gigas is pretty decent and tournament playable.
Agree i play armor king and though he was very weak in earlier season i think he's a greay character now. He's not in the top character but you can still manage to beat the best character with him.
@@zangana3052 I remember when i played ak in earlier seasons i was thinking a lot "this character is wack but still cool". Now when i lose i never feel like it's because of the character but more so because of my own mistakes or lack of knowledge. He feels so much better to play now.
@@beavrtron Well no. He used to have no mids since ff2 and b4 were unsafe. Ws1 would whiff a lot of the time for no reason. B1 had a shit combo. And on and on
Armor King is kind of like Bowser in the bracket. You could place them close to the bottom and close to the top and both cases would be true. They both have a really low skill requirement but an incredibly high skill barrier you have to cross to play them competitively. Their tactics are hard to pull off but pay out supremely. I will always be a fan of the big strong spikey guys. That being said, I've been a King/Paul main since I was in diapers so I may be biased.
Saints ganryu is a beast!! But lets be real.. ganryu is not a tournament character.. So the fact he got this far is awesome!! I wouldn't say it's a mismatch but it def Shows tier list strength. Plus AKs buffs has helped him tremendously..
Tekkens about consistency right. JDCR is pretty consistently either in the final or top 5-8, playing more often then not lower tier characters out of preference. I would argue JDCR, Arslan, Ulsan Knee and Qudans, Low High, Saint, CBM, Jeonding, Gen, Rangchu, all could go either way, no one is consistently beating one or the other (You can argue arslan is slaying everyone, and he was, but i think there needs to be more regular matches between these competitors to start a pro tier list ect
We would really appreciate if you commentate on wufl tournament.. you said you asked them if you can react but they refused But now it's quite an old tournament so i think you can react to it.. it's old but your commentary is still valuable to us
3:33 im pretty sure that after that backswing hits Gan doesn't get that launch guaranteed, you either duck that string or block a df2. So its not "6$ 70% off of a backswing "
Ngl looking at saints ganryu wants me to buy him but yet again any pro can make any character look good and I don’t see much ganryus but who knows maybe I’ll buy him congrats to both players tho❤️
But AK got some buffs last patch right? Not saying AK is in any way op, but it must be quantifiably benifitial for someone like JDCR. Good comprehensive commentary.
I’m still looking for the stupid, “JDCR is washed” comments that were floating around a couple of years ago to resurface but I can’t seem to find any of them. Smh 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I adore AK but that other character used a grand total of three different attacks over and over and did massive damage off everything that landed except the plus 5 low. I know Tekken isn't known for balance but I hope we don't get anything like that in T8. Watching this made me realize that counterhit throws are one of the greatest changes in Tekken. Grapplers used to be doodoo.
armor king isnt weak. yeah throws are easier to break but he still has the best throws in the game after king. and outside of throws, ak is still really solid
@@thelegion4799 i was going to say after king and arguably marduk, but marduk doesnt have liar grab animations or chain grabs like king and ak. he does have a launching throw and the best ground grabs in the game, one of which also launches, and of course tackle is very hard to break especially when he tackles you after hes run a bit. so yeah i can see marduk being second. tho 2nd or 3rd best in the game is still really good
I get that JDCR is popular, but let's give Saint just as much credit here. Saint Beat JDCR before JDCR beat Saint. Also, Saint and JDCR are the two most evenly matched players I've ever seen. We talk about Armor King not being a top tier character, well neither is Ganryu. This was one of the best matches I've seen in years. Both players evenly matched. Both players beat the other. Both players playing a character that they love. The only thing better would be JDCR and Saint bringing out Heihachi and Bob.

It’s matches like this that keep the tekken flame alive within. Thanks TMM for the commentary!
Ganryu was Saints old main back in T6 TT2 days! Old team mates against each other with their OG characters. I love it.
JDCR plays so clean I can't help but root for him.
take care of it keep the roots healthy i mean thats where plants starts to grow
he plays like a TAS bot lol: perfect =)
Cant wait for "those" people to start calling Armor King top tier since he got a win. Seems to be common in the Tekken community these days
Sad truth. 😅😪

Right
@@drabnail777 if anything, armor king needs a buff.

It's interesting that both Jack and Dragunov were considered top tier in season 1 are now both on the weaker side.
I would say power creep and changing of metas
