As a King main, I embrace the salt. Let people complain, let people whine, I'll never downplay my OP boy because I'll play him whether he's top tier or not. The Jon is such a joy to watch, the embodiment of the best of the best.
@@666slateran666 You do understand that you'd have to also prepare for the wedding right? And that it costs money? What do you mean it doesn't explain it? The dude has a regular job and was preparing to get married... so of course he'd be short on time.
these videos are gold for someone like me who is relativly new to tekken. i can watch the top exciting matches while getting very well constructed explinations and breakdowns while still being hype. Great stuff!
I know everyone is worried about your well-being, which is a valid concern, but keeping up the 2 vids per day pace so far is genuinely impressive. Not gonna lie I truly thought we weren't going to see the EWC series continued. It's cool that you're challenging yourself and I can't wait to see the top 8 recaps if you can get to them but definitely tap out if you need to
Thanks for this video PhiDX. As a King who just reached Fujin (higher than I ever expected when I started to play tekken) I appreciate this insight! Love your videos man
Great video as usual, and always pedagogical which is awesome. That said i think you kinda missed the mark on this one with your pet peeve about king. Your issue with him stemmed from "loosing two mixups ended up loosing you the tournament" but in the games you showed that was almost never the case. It's possible yes, that's not what i'm saying, what i'm saying is if you look att the top level games they rarely get caught out by loosing two interactions. Point being hyperfocusing on big dmg has a cieling in the form of deminishing returns. I think your theory might stem from personal bias, if anything it was more applicable to Bryan in this case, where he would win two interactions ending the round. Jon won mainly through consistant poking and fishing for counterhits, not from blowing the opponant up twice per round. Kings one break throws often land att 50-60 dmg, meaning you need three to win a round. I'm not saying this for any other reason that to highlight how even really analytical and good players can let biases skew their opinion on a character. That said i get the frustration since King punishes you hard for any mistakes.
Yo phi, ive been loving all the content. Just remember, put ypurself first! Dont feel obligated to try to pump out ao much content for us in such little time. I will watch regardless even if you take time between uploads. Youve helped me improve my game by a fuck load and im greatful.
King is so bizarrely, disgustingly downplayed by the FGC. I think it comes from that annoying elitist mentality of "wow can't believe you would ever lose to a GIMMICK like throw chains what a scrub" making people forget about damn near everything else about the character. I hate that discourse by the way. I don't think a lot of people engaging in it realise how insecure it makes them look to constantly have to insist that nothing is ever hard to read or play against, to immediately assert that you should just not get hit, dummy. It's so incredibly lame.
This is how I play ... with no nerves ... against 20/34 of the cast I feel comfortable vs ... on a week where I've got decent sleep and practiced daily ... 😅
people don't understand that the Jon came from a long way back in T5 and made his name in T7 by playing marduk . sorry to all king mains but he's not your average player. he's a monster
Those people who think that df2 pokes can win you a round. Let me warn you. You can be hoop-kicked during that. You don't choose King, King chooses you.
It was nerfed. It used to do ludicrous dmg, now it’s just a high dmg heatsmash. Other characters have even better heatsmashes tbh. Similar damage and better utility like insane wall splat distance. Sure it floor breaks but all stages have walls and most stages dont have breakable floors. It’s still a very good heatsmash but not the strongest anymore
If it’s helpful, some other King players to check out or follow would be Lil Majin, Jesandy, BrawlPro, Sol Naciente, and Poltan. I’m sure there’s plenty of others as well, plus non-King mains that can provide good info on King (like MainManSwe).
my brother, king's combo dmg is nothing, trying to setup combos; df 2-1's etc. its really easy to anticipate for the opponent, everybody breaks throws. King's only bizarre but needed movement is the armor, they need to tweak that a bit. It's really hard to be a high ranked king; without being a smasher-spamming giant swings etc, only as a counter attack fighter
Before I watched this, and as a king main since I t5dr, make uf3+4 -14 on blk. It's too safe for what it does. And get rid of running gs, that is a must.
Jon's still a hella good player it just feels worse to fight against king, he's oppressive, and not much you can do against king's throws and grabs if the king player knows his stuff, compared to the counterplay possible for other characters
PLS PLAY KING!! Kindly but strongly disagree what u said at start of the vid. King realistically cant ( in a real match) win with 2 interactions. Sadly King has disgusting amount of counter plays .... Just as in this replay, king players has to do many pokes, throw mixs, many mind games... not as easy or braindead as u think.

Shoutouts to my King family out there, was waiting for this vid for a looong time. Love watching The Jon play, he's soooooo good
Never played any fighting game before. Picked King as firs char because of his silly yet gigachad aura

He recently got married and only just started playing again awhile ago

These ewc recaps have been a long time coming. Thank you for all the hard work
0:20 We can say that about a lot of characters.

King is top 3 IMO. He's got all the tools needed to survive in T8 and more

Part of it is the Korean play style, which might be a good follow up video 🙏🏼

You are a very humble and nice guy phiDx😊 Peace ✌🏻
King is my favourite match up as Devil Jin. it's so fun.
Enjoying the uploads
Day 2 of hoping you take care of yourself
Thank you Phi for the great content. 👍
Why does the Catcher is also really good at poking and Counter hits 😭😭
Adaptation is important as phi implies
The issue is, everyone hates in king. Regardless of it being a tourney or not

Who isn't he nerfed? His heat smash is too strong.

Someone answer sm for me, if King ch jabs you in Heat, is Heat smash guaranteed????
Lil Majin wants an audience with you 😊
good video phi
> hates king
Phidx might be my favourite youtuber
👍
King is completely broken
my problem with King is that CH df2 is super hard to hit confirm 😕
You mean as a content creator haha
This is my first Tekken and I only play King. Always looking for content

Love the non bias here fr
I saw king in the title
So i clicked
The Jon is an outlier. No one else is making it far with King in tournaments.
Jon's still a hella good player
it just feels worse to fight against king, he's oppressive, and not much you can do against king's throws and grabs if the king player knows his stuff, compared to the counterplay possible for other characters
The counterplay is relatively straightforward, honestly. Step right. That's it.
