This is Joka's best tournament run so far by beating every Pakistani competitors and beats Knee as well. He's good with mishimas. Ahsan did played well. He deserve a sponsor.
@captaintacosauce3220 I think skills still transfer between the two games. This one being more aggressive doesn't instantly nullify Arslan and Knee's years of experience with Tekken. Specifically with Knee, being good at Tekken 5 did not suddenly make him bad at Tekken 6 onwards.
@captaintacosauce3220Even Knee isnt as good as he was in like T5 prime, but ppl still find it very impressive to beat him. Just bc a game evolved doesnt mean their skills also reset. Its the same fundamentals of the game.
Actually no, in this game both knee and arslan and players like them got nerfed heavily, because of how tekken 8 works. The game is really bad when it comes to defensive playstyle so players like knee or arslan who relies heavily on defensive playstyle having difficult time and will need time to adapt. Not saying that joka didn't play well because he did. But what do you think will happen if they play tekken 7 right now, who has more chances of winning arslan vs joka or knee vs joka?
pretty sure he was the first ever GoD with Reina. Joka is not joke at all, he is an amazing player, and the thing is, he is a very versatile player with plenty of GoDs right now. bro is an actual Jack of all Trades.
Yagami from Australia was the first GoD with Reina, but I know that Joka got it very very early on as well. Pulling the Reina out against was such a great choice though because it completely shifted the game, Ahsan had a lot more control against Feng and when Joka picked Reina the tone of the match was a 180, now she's the one dictating the pace of the match
FT3 is of course better, but it's a huge issue when you have hundreds (or thousands) of people in pools due to time. This event was fine because it's invitational with a set number of planned players.
Agreed. I see a few people saying that Reina is easy to use by spamming ff2, not knowing that it can be countered fairly easily and it's quite risky if u cannot judge the distance and timing of the ff2
yes what you say at the end i also feel like it, the last tournament was a real snooze fest and i really lost hoped. But this WAS NUTS so many hype and tense moments again and holy moly EU won
He knew the matchup but he couldn't adapt faster Ahsan made a lot of comebacks in the tournament. T8 is weird cuz rounds can end in less than 15 seconds. T8 is not fun to watch than T7 in my opinion.
Agreed! I mean yeah doing power crush on FF2 on block sentai mixup is kind’ve risky, but he didn’t go for it a single time. Was ducking for no reason against Reina seeing as how Joka barely did unblockable grabs and only did one hellsweep the entire set. Doing quick stand up against sentai grab is usually a bad idea since its a setup for FF2. He let Reina do F2, 3 into sentai without checking her. He wasn’t really stepping after blocking Reina’s F4 and even let Joka do it back to back a couple of times. Either he doesn’t know the matchup well or he just played poorly against her that day.
That was sweaty ngl but Reina pick was more strategic rather than optimal, I feel, though we can see that ff2 needs some retweaks. I watched how Joka played Reina before and it's completely different from what he did here, still congrats to him, he basically was on an opponent's territory and still won.
Joka got to use ff2 quite freely. No punish for unsafe mids, no ducks, no jab floats or power crush (heat engager on shaheen), etc. Joka had great ff2 timing, but it felt a bit like his opponent was not prepared for the matchup when ff2 was blocked.
Yeah matchup knowledge as well as confidence makes a huge difference. Sometimes disrespecting your opponents offense is a good mental reversal if it works a few times. As a Yoshi main I just flash Reinas all day trying to run up on me and usually they crumple because they can't run their offense anymore.
I dont think people understand how insanely good the production is. In Pakistani, we have almost never had proper gaming events at all. So this is amazing, I am so happy!!!
I cannot seem to break out of Garyu with this character despite everyone putting her at the top of tier lists lmfao I guess that's what happens when your carried by Lei Wulong for several years😅
It's crazy that thr number one feng in the world, playing Feng on the winners side of Grand finals is considered an underdog against a shaheen player. The power of the middle east.
It is because Joka travels a lot in Pakistan for local tournaments and has experience with Pakistani style. He practices a lot with local talent here whenever he visits.

According to world-renowned psychologist Dale Wilson, the only reason Joka picked Reina is because he wants to marry her.
That's why I picked her
Get off his nuts
@@Paul_Franksame
😂😂😂
i am sorry but reina is already my wife
BTW, that announcer got a raise :)
GOOD! he brought the hype!!
Hell yeah
Well deserved, holy Baaz was a blast to watch
he belongs to the ufc hahahhahaha
Nice
We need that announcer for every professional fighting game finale.
This tournament was 100x better than the evo this year
this is the pakistevo
yeah fr
Absolutely, gifted players only
Evo hasn't happened yet bud. That was Japan.
@@roninhubbard9059 Evo Japan hasn't happened yet?
This is the 4th time I've watched this grand finals. More stacked than Evo Japan!
Bro 1 round alone of baaz was more hype than the entirety of evo japan 😂
Yeah. That octagon made it even cooloer
I mean. Pakistan is better than Japan and there were 0 paki's at evoJP soooooi
This announcer made the event so much fun.
Bro making this sound like a MMA world championship
You got that right that was basically an MMA ring btw. Every match took place there even from the start. UFC ring for training
This is Joka's best tournament run so far by beating every Pakistani competitors and beats Knee as well. He's good with mishimas.
Ahsan did played well. He deserve a sponsor.
This aint just the best tournament run, this is the BEST tournament run of all time. The man beat the top 3 players of tekken 7
the madman beat knee and arslan in the same tournament and won it
@captaintacosauce3220 I think skills still transfer between the two games. This one being more aggressive doesn't instantly nullify Arslan and Knee's years of experience with Tekken. Specifically with Knee, being good at Tekken 5 did not suddenly make him bad at Tekken 6 onwards.

I love it when Shaheen says Have a martini when he enters heat mode
I love it when Victor yells for Shaheen and he is -16
And bro is Muslim too 💀
What about when Feng says fasho in an ny accent
@@matavelhosTKOK I swear I thought it was Victor screaming when Shaheen yells. They both sound so similar lol
Probably the goofiest looking heat mode pose lmao
Bros suppose to be all serious and he comes out like "All aboard! 💪🏽🚂"
I watched this live and believe me, every match was heart beating. The hype was so real. The best tournament in Pakistan.

WHAT!!!??? 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
I did too
Need this announcer at EVO asap
Nah EVO dead. It is time for new tournaments.
What we need is more Pakistani tournaments with tons of international players
@@GrandoSilver EVO ain’t never dead but do you tho lol
Fuk evo
AHSAN USIN HIS 300IQ rage art for 47 times in row to win a round xd
Gotta give credit to Ahsan Ali, not having his main Lei in T8 and still making it to the finals with a second pick is damn impressive.
first to 3 > first to 2
give people more time to adjust
FT3 is of course better, but it's a huge issue when you have hundreds (or thousands) of people in pools due to time.

Honestly, coolest shaheen I've even seen
Let's get it, love me some Reina game play.
Bro the announcer is fking sick bro
best tournament of teeken 8 so far every match was so hyped
we need that announcer here in america for evo and twt finals
"watching these matches makes me want to play the game more" same
joka is top 5 in the world in this game
Based on the guys he beat top 1 is not even false it’s between him and chikurin
@@pranavjain8774 needs more accolades but he is up there.
Joka: "I'm technically Pakistani"
"I used the stones to destroy the stones 🗿"
Haven't been this hyped watching a grand final in quite some time, so glad I made the jump to a fighting game finally 😄
I'm the guy with the glasses wearing ghost of Tsushima shirt at 8:09
must have been so hype to be there, even watching this was hype as all hell
@@orhblin brooo it was soooo amazing, the audience was goated, the announcer was goated and the matches were absolutely crazy
That's cool as hell. The energy there is nuts lol.
The second time I've seen Reina pulled out against Shaheen. My own bias says shes a hard matchup for him and these matches are reinforcing that
Exactly Man this Tournament better than evo japan Really i appreciate Baaz have had such a Awesome Tournament ♥️
pretty sure joka is pakistani too😂
Yup😂
Then why's he choosing a British flag lmao
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN can't be both? He is half
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN On todays news, man discovers dual-nationality!
The thing is people think they can do the same thing and just spam FF2 to win with Reina. That's how she ends up with such a low win rate lol
Agreed. I see a few people saying that Reina is easy to use by spamming ff2, not knowing that it can be countered fairly easily and it's quite risky if u cannot judge the distance and timing of the ff2
Edge of my toilet seat the whole time
Holy shit, I've never been more hyped before a tournament has even began like this.
man those last 20 seconds were hilarious. looking like my games
After hard work i relax watching fighting game channels
One is yours continue friend
yes what you say at the end i also feel like it, the last tournament was a real snooze fest and i really lost hoped. But this WAS NUTS so many hype and tense moments again and holy moly EU won
Bro this event is where it needs to be!!!!!! ❤ I love more of this for tekken tournaments PLEASE
Ahsan making dua was so good, S tier video
Is it just me or did it feel like Ahsan didn't seem like he knew the Reina matchup that well?
He knew the matchup but he couldn't adapt faster Ahsan made a lot of comebacks in the tournament. T8 is weird cuz rounds can end in less than 15 seconds. T8 is not fun to watch than T7 in my opinion.

@@codeine_ninjayou don’t fight reina, you block and die against reina.
@themainmanswe
You need to see the Jon vs Lowhigh...that was the match to watch!
As a Reina main im happy to see how Joka is winning the tournament with her😅
TMM more Reina ranked pls❤
What controller is Joka using exactly?
i had a feeling he is winning. even the day before when they were doing team exhibition
Reina finally won a tournament 👍🏻❤️
Congratulations to Joka 👍🏻.
Reina abusing isn't imppresive you know? There are plenty of tier whores abusing her, just like Dragunov, or Feng..
@@GodKingIssei Joka won with Reina among the best players in the world,No one can do that easily regardless of the character.
@@raiden7554 I don't question him being good player, but it is surely much easier to achieve when you play a broken character.
@@GodKingIssei pretty sure shaheen is sleeper too, though
@@Doublejho Honestly? I'd rather see him than another fucking Dragunov or Azucena, at least for now.
absolutely amazing!!!
I watched this video at work and had the same reaction and all my co workers looked at me 😅
Watching that live makes my heart burst for a moment
At least we know who to blame if sugar mommy Reina gets nerfed 💀💀💀
That’s why I love Tekken ❤️
Man Pakistan is really keeping Tekken alive ! The hype i so sick ! Evo definitely needs to learn! 😂

The announcer watched Wrestling/ WWE to hype that. Lol
❤❤ as always!! Keep it up "man" get it lol
If he was built more he would look like a one to one representation of a Pakistani gigachad.
Holy shit that was awesome.
Guy had some balls

Before the final .. finalist should face to face poses just like MenaRD and Tokido at Evo... It will be great ....
Well as a Reina player this kind of gives me hope…. Then I look at the fact that I’m only level 13 and come back to reality
EEYYOO BOOOIIIISS🎉🎉🎉!!
That announcer must really love Bruce Buffer
💜Reina👑💜
well reina getting gutted next patch. ashan played the match-up like a red rank.
The next Bruce Buffer lmao
What a guy Joka is ❤
I really wish if you were there too main man
Just a criticism, can u please do the sound louder from your reactions, I mean from the video you watch, because its always really quiet
i think we should explain joka how masks work. wore it throughout the fight, took it off for a hug
MainMan out here throwing pakistan's elo
I dont think people understand how insanely good the production is. In Pakistani, we have almost never had proper gaming events at all. So this is amazing, I am so happy!!!
great now both my mains are getting nerfed 😅. Amazing set from Joka and Ahsan!!!
1:03 look at the sky double palm 🤣
swe please explain that intro
That's what Reina does to people 😳😳😳
Cum
Scariest Shaheen I've ever seen...and yeah as a Reina main I'm taking notes on this...
U luv watching TMM reacting to tournaments
Reina 💜
had to smoke a pack for the amount of stress those match gave me hooly
LET'S GO REINA LEGION
🦾
Now harada has to give us the True mishima hairline for reina
what a gigachad
Broken S tier announcer already got me 😂😂 bro
SEND LTG! I SECOND THIS!
I cannot seem to break out of Garyu with this character despite everyone putting her at the top of tier lists lmfao I guess that's what happens when your carried by Lei Wulong for several years😅
15:59 Spag is never going to shut up about this ...
In this tournament a very good King played. His name is The Jon, he managed to beat Knee out of the tournament
❤❤❤
i main shaheen reina, king, and jin are very difficult to deal with
THAT’S MY MAIN!!!
TMM keeps doing what I used to do with the weather. Changing the outcome by jinx.
Your gonna tell me Reina is hard to pilot then I just watch joka spam ff2 lol.
you're clearly trash at the game
i mean that's reina's real strength, she controls the neutral, so that would be the most optimal move to do
@@jervaniwilliams9071 no shit
you can 10 frame string on block. ashan could have played a lot better. but if you think you can beat ashan with ff2 reina do it lolol
@@young8584 still not hard to play
Mark my words reina will be broken tier in a few months when everybody realizes it.
ff2 for the 1856th time for the win
100% agree with the @TheMainManSWE this tournament 10x >>>> better than Evo Japan 2024.
18 seconds ago holy moly
It's coming home
Does someone know how Joka uses a DS4 pad on the PS5 for Tekken 8?
He uses brook wingman fgc converter
It's crazy that thr number one feng in the world, playing Feng on the winners side of Grand finals is considered an underdog against a shaheen player. The power of the middle east.
WHO is the best Mishima in the game currently ? Still devil Jin or is it Reina ?
it's most likely reina
Reina,
jin
Devil jin is weakest mishima right now and jin is the strongest. Reina is the 2nd.
ASUKA IS MISHIMA??? WTF ARE YOU SOMING💀💀💀
Ahsan's Shaheen combos made me cringe 😢
Now time for Reina ff2 to get nerfed haha. Congrats to Joka though. Well played.
6:20 - Joka is British PAKISTANI...makes sense why he is so good haha
Lives in the UK, represents the UK, Pakistan only tries to claim him when he wins lol
It is because Joka travels a lot in Pakistan for local tournaments and has experience with Pakistani style. He practices a lot with local talent here whenever he visits.
