Tekken 8 ▰ Knee (#1 Bryan) Vs Keisuke (#1 Kazuya) ▰ Ranked Matches 

True, I mean when I see so many lost opportunities for optimized combo with wall and all I go watch MainMan with Kaz or Devilster with Jin. But I totally get it that Keisuke could be too focused on neutral to keep up with unreal Knee's neutral

Still MainMan did perfect electric combo on Knee back then in Tekken 7

I think he more so stays with the consistent damage rather than squeezing out all he can

Holy shit I don't really play kazuya but after watching a lot of mainman I know a bunch of keisuke's combos could be optimized for more wall carry

​@@hightierscrub7166Kazuya is so much better near the wall tho so opting for laser and not optimized combos usually cost him rounds

What do you mean athletic

@@PaperTigerLive Movement, pokes, optimal, able to chain wavedash into any command(pertaining to Mishimas)... Stuff like that.

Ngl using athletic to describe keisuke is fire

So true

this is the first time ive seen someone use the word "athletic" when talking about a video game XD

Inb4 they're both just drunk and vibing

This is common for knee. He usually doesn't perform well in the beginning. He won EVO Japan 2018 and didn't win EVO until 2022. This is no different either. The new aggressive meta is also a game changer and a lot of top players, not just knee, is struggling to adjust. The game is barely 7 months old. Give it time

@@syahrules Uhm, people seem to be forgetting that Knee also started performing less well during the last year or so of Tekken 7, after winning Evo. He started losing more frequently to Ulsan and Lowhigh after he came back, and didn't have great positionings in the last Evo or TWT. Knee is getting old. And it's hard for a guy like that to adapt.

Knee finally won a stl tournament recently with Bryan!

@@juni4505 considering this comment thread was from 2 months ago, this thread has not aged well considering knee has shown his adaptation abilities to Tekken 8 from his recent Thaiger uppercut tournament

Nope. He also used Bryan a lot at tournaments

Never

​@@ojsojs6004yea, but as soon as he hit the top 8 or whatever he always starts playing like he's playing t7. Becomes super reserved.

in top 6 he will meta pick, he will either use feng or dragunov, last resort is steve.

@@rryuko3668 Tekken 8 steve kinda sucks so i doubt it.

I agree, he didn't even do one hellsweep that entire set

​@@jervaniwilliams9071 pros react to it really consistenly and it is launchable

Have you played with knee online? If not, then you havent felt the tension of him consistently expecting lows and punishing them.. low attacks are high risk moves

@@Silverhase knee uses way more lows when he's playing Kaz. :P

@@kingofdrama3236 if that's your reply then you did not understand my reply at all. ^^

Keisuke has always been one of the best. TMM is great too but he's more known for his execution more than his application

just do f, 2+3+4, f, 2+3+4 ... repeat very fast

Taunt Dash

I love keisuke but saying he better then knee is crazy

Knee is better at tekken, keisuke is better at tekken 8

@@gungaginga-zr2cz true i’m just big fun of Keisuke
