@@PhiDXlove your content, when the Tekken 8 officially drop could you make a content for strings or mix up that can be backdashed (especially back turned) to avoid?
shoutouts to me at the very start of the video LOL! this was such an awesome thing for our community to put together. Chapter did the scene so well making this happen. i didn't find out who the Secret Santa was until an hour before, and it was so hard to keep silent about it lmao. you got on that VOD review mad quick too, shoutouts!
This was hype because of who it is, and I saw this as just a landslide victory due to exhaustion and being starstruck, but of course your analysis reveals so much more going on than I initially thought. Great stuff man. Also, IMO I don't really need a perfect 3-5 second rewind. A lot is going on at a very fast pace, I honestly like when it's 10 seconds, just helps me anticipate whats gonna happen more and see the context better.
As an Armor King main whose favorite and most inspiring player is JDCR, I am immensely grateful to you for this video and analysis! Huge amount of useful information, there is a lot to learn! ♥
JDCR not even serious anymore and still can beat most top players without breaking a sweat…😮💨😮💨😮💨 Hope dragonslayer learns more from this and becomes strong…🥳🥳
gives us a perspective how insane World Class players are. No offense on JDCR (I love him) but he is having a rough game in 2018 (RIP DRAGUNOV) and he is not even considered the best of the best. Yet he still managed to beat the shit out of everyone despite inactive in tourneys during 2019-2023 (is it because going to EU/NA is really expensive and not worth it if you dont have sponsors)
Seeing JDCR play in TOP 8 vs him playing any other time is just so vastly different. Top 8 JDCR is just plain defensive and too careful. Like, I've seen him play safe with 80% hp vs like 20% at 30 seconds, only for him to lose the round. I'll rephrase and say it's not even being defensive, he just refuses to do anything until he loses. Seeing him play casual like this, it's such a breath of fresh air since you can see how good he can be. I say it's like akin to Japanese/Pakistani play style of aggression, which clearly works for him since he'll be in Top 8. Then again, once in there, he'll revert to overtly safe playstyle, sometimes using the MINIMUM punishment, ultimately costing him in the end.
Great Video as always. Really enjoy the breakdowns. My first time being at Bonus Round and being able to compete and see you, justframejames, kodee and then even Jdcr play was crazy hype. Shout outs to Chapter for being able to make this happen. Mans the goat.
this content is godlike. so glad I found your channel. this is exactly the kind of tekken content I've been looking for, as someone that felt overwhelmed by t7.
Dragonslayer is goated asf tbh, i met him in this diñky vegas gaming hub during evo 2022 and we played in there and played each other in pools. We then sat together during finals and man dude is genuinely such a cool guy and when we occasionally play on steam homie smokes me everytime 😎
That last part of you commenting on this high level approach of actually having the read but delaying the duck and only going for it when the opponent's attack animation starts in order to *never show your cards in the process to the very last moment* is very precious information because the highly-experienced professional players *actually do this.* Because the opponent doesn't even see any semblance of a duck, he really feels encouraged to go HS, believing he has you. Turns out he dies miserably because you had the read all along but made him believe you were gonna take the low. I often do this instinctively against Anna FC low launcher and just now realized this modus operandi being an actual technique. Damn... your commentary is really the cream of the crop.
@@PhiDX it was just hillarious😂 made me really laugh hahaha but great vid man! I always look up to you😊 i managed to play vs momo-dog as well offline and you're a noctis player i really want to fight against someday!
great video Phidx, love the breakdowns. i been trying to get my lil bro into tekken and ive been using your videos to help explain some things and concepts for awhile.
Mannnn, I remember running into Chapter at Round One, that's how I originally got into the FGG. This shit is dope, also how close are you to getting memberships?
@@PhiDX i lied and i watch some Tekken but haven't played so I'm familiar with the notation too but as to what moves are available to each player and their pros and cons i didnt know but it was making sense from my POV
AK d4 is -2 on hit so it sets up WS2 perfectly in alot of ways, i don't think it is considered generic as on block its only -12, very similar to noctis db3
Hi PhiDX...great analysis. I believe Armor King is slightly stronger than King and put him a tier above King as I believe he's more well rounded. Some folks hated that. What do you think? Am I completely off the rocker or what?
@@AOTOM382 Nah my comment is a reference to a hilarious ICFC moment related to dragonslayer that will forever live in my head rent free. Type in "if you know you know", it's on tenomedias channel lmao.
i love that there are pronouns next to the players names. it really helps people learn easier and not resort to he or they for everything, it's great to see pronouns being normalized!
