The Vanished King of Tekken Who Returned to Conquer the World 

he become a champion, went into military service, get a degree, girlfriend and full time work, and then return as a champion again. seems like a perfect life.

helps disabled kids during the week and disables kids on the weekends.

Devil Jin was like: *Its been a while my old friend Qudan*

qudans: “I think I’ll come back to tekken now” Every tekken player on earth: “why do I hear boss music?”

Everyone else : Sponsored jersey Qudans : White tutrleneck

Devil Jin when Qudans came back: "You're as beautiful as the day i lost you."

Qudans: * drinks his water * Commentators: "OH MY GOOOOD!!!!!"

"Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished."

This man knocked off ten years of rust to come back as the best I can't knock the rust off of not playing siege for a month XD

The character loyalty is rediculous with this guy, Devil Jin since day 1

qudans: "maybe i´ll play tekken again" Every pro tekken player on earth: *starts sweating*

Back from the dead. He deserves to be a champion. He serves military service for 2 years, helps disabled kids, he grieves for his father when he died, Qudans able to make a statement that "I will return and I will become a champion." That is a perfect comeback for the true legend., and "Legend never dies."

Even though they gave him a lot of praise I still think they didn't do his earlier dominance justice. He was just on a different level, you always felt like he was 5 steps ahead of the competition and getting a hit on him felt like luck more than calculation. Finding a 240p Qudans vid online was like Christmas morning. Another thing about his comeback was he had a full time job while training. He wouldn't be able to train everyday and when he would play it wouldn't be for too long. That's why he started playing again in 2011 but really only returned to form around 2015. When streaming started getting bigger he was finally able to go from full time to part time and make up the rest from streaming. He essentially had to rebuild himself and become a top level player twice in his life time. Honestly his story could be a full length documentary film and I hope one day someone makes one about him cause there are so many levels to his story.

tekken's biggest prize pool in history: $60k meanwhile fortnight kid wins 3 million... nothing against fortnight, but I wish fighting games get the attention it deserves

0:42 "And then, he vanished..." Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.

Qudan: my career is really taking off now for the best. The Army: I'm about to end this whole man's career

Finally a qudans vid omg. Thank you so much for making this video.

so ip man was resurrected as a tekken fighter...

Tekken nostalgia hit me harder than my parents, thanks.

If this was turned into anime I would definitely watch it.... Its got everything, past glory, responsibilities halting him, emotional trauma and rising to the top after a decade with hard work and dedication. LOVE IT.

"A decade changes a lot of things but a champion is always a champion." This one send chills on my body omg!

I don’t even play fighting games but holy shit I got hyped

im happy that the tekken scene is getting more attention!

"I think I'll go back to playing tekken" Pro players : Haha that's a good joke....your joking right????

17:02 "im numbah one!" no matter how loud and noisy the world is, a champion's voice will always be heard.

This is such a well made video. I went from never hearing of this guy, playing a game I never followed to completely rooting for him in the space of 15 mins!

Game starts* Devil Jin: I feel so much power flowing in my body, Wait a minute... I remember this.. It's Qudan!! I can definitely tell. You are finally awake my old friend.

I don't play tekken and obviously I don't know this guy... But I cried at the end too.

15:15 Commentator: He's gonna have to go low Qudans: *no, I don't think I will*

Never heard of him until now, Suddenly I feel like I've been through an entire history lesson on Tekken, Congrats on this dude

You ever just revive yourself after 10 years to flex on NA?

He left Tekken for a long time and came back on Tekken Tag 2. That must have been cancerous.

17:20 The face that JDCR made when he noticed that Qudans is crying

For me, the most inspiring thing is his age, he is currently 33 I'm just 24 and when I play sometimes Y say " I'm not that young, I do not have the same reflects I used to" but he set his mind to be a winner, what an strong acttitude, he inspired me.

It's actually true.... "Legends never die"

He was a South Korean military secret weapon for two years.

I’m not gonna call it hugging anymore it’s officially “Touching torsos”

11:20 "I can't even speak English right now" LMAO

the detail i love the most is what he wears to these tourneys. the scene has changed to the point that most top players have teams and uniforms. Qudans enters, no team attached to his name and in a turtleneck sweater. absolutely baller.

Was so heart broken for Qudans, Saint and JDCR. Damn those series are just on whole another level. They all won in my eyes.

"Everyone is touching torsos right now" -aris, 2017 We really need a video about him someday

The man dissapeared like the avatar. Got a whole life and came back after a decade to remind mfsof 2 things, 1. he ain't dead and 2 that he still got it. 🔥🔥

Credits to Core-A Gaming for that green arcade extract, go check the full video on his channel, it's awesome.

Im not a big fan of fighting games, but watching these videos is somethings special

Qudans feels like the embodiment of the phrase: Form is temporary, class is permanent.

As a 12 yr old kid obsessed w T5DR, I was in love w the asian tekken scene. 10 yrs later I’m over the moon for the tekken scene. It’s never been so good to be a Tekken fan. Thanks Qudans for making my childhood so much fun

Just pointing out the godlike read at 15:17. Knowing to duck and punishing with a Rage Art that freezes the timer with 1 second to go. Qudans is a monster.

There is also an another reason as to why he retired early. A tekken player name NIN physically assaulted Qudans after he revealed NIN was responsible for stealing prize money and that his attitude was cancerous in Korean tekken scene. From the assault NIN damaged Qudan’s eye and had to go through surgery. This obviously contributed to his early retirement amongst other things mentioned in the video.

Man, Tekken is getting more and more recognition due to this channel. Keep making these series guys.

this is worthy of the "RETURN OF THE KING" meme

It's amazing how rangchu beat him with panda just goes to show that even low tier characters can beat really good characters with good practice

"Qudans? I haven't heard that name in years..."

Qudans vs Arslan ash Clash of two gods of different universes... It will be Epic, huge and a true Class to watch

can you imagine if he ran from the military to avoid his service and kept playing tekken? kinda like HWOARANG? :OO

saint: *gets 1 point off qudans also saint: why do i hear boss music

Thank you for this Video, Qudans and Tekken are deserving this ! :)

This makes me so happy, every time he plays he looks like he is just so happy, no fear or frustrations he is just happy to be there enjoying the game!! Love how games can do this and community can make it better!!!

Quadans: It's time to come back to Tekken. Tekken Pro Gamers: It's a good day to die..

8:23 I cant get over this electric. So clean, so perfect, not even a wavedash was seen. Qudans made it look like a one button move. My god.

Qudans: plays tekken again Devil Jin: Where has ur life led u back to me

His face of happiness when he raised that trophy brings tears to my eyes.

After 10 years The FGC: "It's just as I thought you are alive aren't you Qudans" :D

Qudans truly is the real Jin of our universe. He is the Tekken champion the world needed

1 second left KO comeback: doesn't get any more exhilarating than that. Damn

You can never really forget how to play your favorite games. You might be gone for years but the muscle memory comes back and it's like you never left.

This guy's story deserves an anime or a manhwa adaptation. He literally defied all the odds having a long break. I can still remember the time i played him in evo 05, the guy is total beast.

Never even played this game but this was some anime redemption arc type shit. I feel emotional. Well put together.

I dont play fighting games. but i love seeing the excitement from the casters and the fans. damn.

im just a random guy who travelling around youtube until i bump into this. not a tekken player, and dont even know this guy. but his story just great for any people to cry at the end.

Remember when tekken was dominated by a panda? *yep* We legit need a rematch between these legends

People should watch those 3 sets between JDCR, Qudans and Saint. Clips don't serve any justice to how incredible they were.

I love that Qudans always has hugged Knee. Wholesome

EVO 2019 will be hype. Qudans, JDCR, Saint, Rangchu, Knee, Speedkicks, Lil Majin, JimmyJ, Pokchop, Chanel

I'm loving the FGC content. Finally the FGC is getting recognized more and more. Thank you for this.

you know, his story could be made into a great film ngl, a pro who left the scene because of responsibilities and obigations, lost his way after a close one's death finds new purpose playing in the tournament but needs serious training. i also like how hes dressed in the tournament, like he's an office worker coming back to people talking smack like "heard you was talking shit"

Street Fighter: Asian MvC: Another Asian Tekken: *_MORE ASIAN_* damn boi Asia flexing on the gaming community .

Never played tekken, don’t follow the scene at all. But this video had me cheering for this man. What a God gamer

Saint:wins one round Qudans:*leans forward*

Dudes who run this channel, thank you so much for this. Like, seriously, thank you.

When Qudans turned JDCR into a highlight reel, I couldn't help but be salty as I'm a huge JDCR fan. However, I do respect Qudans' ability.

"A decade changes alot of things. But a champion... is always a champion."

I wasn’t familiar with him previously, but I shall now follow this man on every platform possible.

11:23 - "I can't even speak english right now." That had me dying! xD

Qudans is byfar my favorite Mishima player since watching his tournaments on Tekken 5. He inspired me to really step up my Kazuya game. He seems like such a genuine person. I hope to one day battle him and show him my PEWGFs. I'm sorry to hear about his father, He really had a tough road to get to where he is today. He deserves every success he achieves and more.

Some GOOD A$$ TEKKEN right here. Thank god, I was waiting for this video.

15:48 *When you're losing badly* So you take a good drink of Vodka

Bro, he became a champion at Tekken, left to become a champion of life, and returned as a champion’s champion to become a champion’s champion’s champion!

I heard qudans last was from hi skul. Hes like the jordan of gaming. Champion then retired then came back champion again.

Please do a video in the life of InControl.. He deserves it. Starcraft may not be the most popular game for this channel, but the man deserves it

15:35 best moment ever lol. "I CAN DO IT!" lmao

I understand while he cry. That achievement make him remember why he did it at the first glance. You can see it in he's face, it's family related.

I'm sorry but I couldn't stop laughing @7:20 when you mentioned him getting back into fighting weight lol. Great video btw.

16:05 That wasn't him praying, he just had to take a sec to download all the data he just got from homie XD

You can see when he won that tournament, he did that for his dad. Mans was about to cry.

I attended the Tekken World Tour Finals in 2017 specifically because of Qudans return. It was the best tournament I’ve ever seen.

Imagine this as an anime thing lol... Once upon a time there was a man with great power, everyone tried to defeat him.. well they tried but unfortunately for them he was too strong than expected until one day.. he vanished.. and great players have already been born and slowly he was forgotten.. 10 years after his disappearance, there were rumours of a guy so strong he demolished everyone in this one tournament.. well.. for the people who remembers time from back then.. they already knew that he has comeback.. the great Tekken fighter who everyone tried to opposed but couldn’t and all those who heard his name.. was proven that he wasn’t just a rumour.. him being strong all the strong players that were born in the time of his disappearance, decided to challenge him. We are yet to see whats to unfold. Ps. I tried to explain properly sorry if i suck at explaining but hope ya understand

Seeing the emotion on his face at the end of his comeback tournament legit put me in tears. You made your dad proud dude!

I've never played tekken. Why am I even watching this? Sigh! I guess I probably needed some inspiration

14:50-15:00 this is where my heart beated as fast as a blink of an eye, i almost went to hospital because of this.

Aris pronounced Qudans ten different ways, haha!
