Knee matches are always thrill to watch i really love this man how he plays he's just best at mind games❤ But kudos to shadow as well he plays really impressive 👏
Nope. Tekken 8 was far more exciting. Was designed that way too. Tekken 7 was far too defensive. It was "poke, poke, poke, back dash, poke, back dash, back dash, poke, poke, back dash" it was quite rare to launch your opponent. As back dashing was op. So in tekken 8 they instead nerfed back dash and buffed side step to force you to be in the opponent face.
Knee always traumatize with someone who can spam him low,mid all day long.He only can block and can't attack.This tekken 8 always be a nightmare for him
Ya'll always pick on Zafina and always putting her on the "trash" tier, yet when someone knows how to utilize her ya'll go ballistic. Shadow is a genius for winning using a character that is very hard to win with. Zafina is not as powerful on T8 as she used to on T7. Grow up and learn how to appreciate on how Shadow dominated using a character ya'll deemed as "trash"
its pure cheese 50/50 gameplay lol. "utilize" being a cringe player who picks a crab character thats glued to the floor the whole match... so much fun to watch, knee was playing so much better than shadow yet shadow had to do nothing but throw 50/50s to win
Knee obviously wasn't too good with the match up... 😅. He should have played more with Chanels Zafina because he let Shadow get away with a lot of moves that can be interrupted.
@@Noxeramas lemme get this straight. You think the 🐐 knee who has been playing Tekken for 30 years got gimmicked out by a character that's been in Tekken for 16 years, that his training partner Chanel also plays, that his legendary rival (arlsan ash) mained in t7, and that knee himself ranked up to TGO in T7????? Grow up. Shadow beat him fair and square. And it's not the first time either (shadow got him at EWC LCQ as well with Zafina). Knee is a goat and has my absolute respect, but fanboys like you are ignorant and obnoxious AF. Give shadow and his Zafina credit.
@@Acrophyllia no one playing her is relative. Knee trains with Chanel who plays Zafina and it is obviously in the way that he can comfortably punish and shut down some of her options. Knee choked in the final round and Shadow has unbelievable composure. I believe that was the main difference.
@@brentthompson1607 Comfortably? He whiffed his punish multiple times, way before the final round. It was Shadow who choked under the pressure and regained composure in my eyes.
@@Acrophyllia things whiff all the time. But clearly the way Shadow uses Zafina is different from Chanel. But the way that Knee was able to punish the moves clearly displayed his knowledge on the character.
It would've been really interesting to see Knee face the Jon on the grand finals. He still need to shed more of that Tekken 7 in his blood, Tekken 8 rewards risk and more aggression, that final round he does nothing but block.
yeah that last round Knee got punished hard for trying to play tekken, poor guy he needs to push more buttons and take more risks if he wants to adapt to this game
Shadow isn't a show off guy but that consisted low 😢taunt would cost the game, bearing in mind you are playing knee, and you can tell that he realised it in the end, stand finish the game instead of taunting your adversary.
Umm I think the winner deserves the win. You don’t win by having a good comeback and losing to a perfect at the end. The guy who deserved the win got the win.
Let him stay away bro. He's just gonna get her nerfed and then chase the next top tier. He's a Tekken God and I respect him, but let him play Alisa or yoshi or something lol
Hell no. I've always said to my friends that Knee could go well in tourneys if he keeps Bryan, and literally is what happens here. Knee with Bryan is just stronger than Knee with a stronger character.
I am a bryan main and my respect for knee goes beyond i mean bryan players have a class on it’s own The char is badass and extremely hard to pilot and a very honest char imo Respect to him for sticking to bryan with this type of plays he’ll soon make it to the top once again He’s literally beating Ulsan no need to prove more Mannn knee’s awesome
Knees face in the end he looks so upset 😢. But ggs he delivered some good ass tekken
Shadow20z victory was an honest one. Great pressure and spacing against Knee I dont know many Zafina players in T8 that does it so well than Shadow20z
Best match. So intense
One thing with knee.. u always get something impressive when he plays
Knee matches are always thrill to watch i really love this man how he plays he's just best at mind games❤
But kudos to shadow as well he plays really impressive 👏
Best game of the tournament
2:30 Knee should not have rushed here, he should have forced Shadow to come.
He should have done what now?
@@dako91196 Knee could have won with time out. Used keepout to catch him or keep him away.
@DemonKnight94 i know brother I was joking about your phrasing lol
I agree, he should have forced shadow to come
Shadow got so much better over the years, well deserved
bro is EVO champ and multiple top 8 placers
@@98-carlmarkmarak22 covid online Evo champ some ppl couldn't enter, never won Vegas and tops 8 only in America, only 2 top 8s outside the country
Facts the fact that he destroyed knee is insane
@@xneobloodchaosx7875 what, the match was close af lol
I believe shadow become the top us tekken player
Shadow is a beast. Very underrated
Welcome back knee love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 the legend himself
As a Zafina player I gotta say this guy Shadow is nice and that was a great FN SET💪🏿I gotta spar with him
I couldn't breath the entire match bro wtf
The combo sound of Killer Instinct repeating at the background🤣
13:16 was an insane round for shadow.
Maybe Im just old, I enjoyed watching Tekken 7 matches vs 8.
You’re not the only one, tekken 8 feels very repetitive to watch and play

knee: breath
everyone : omg knee is back am gonnna die 🙀
shadow : perfect ss
everyone : 😐...
What a set 🔥
Wow bro , love for KNEE and Respect to bro Shadow...
Really want 2 see knee vs the Jon that would have bin hype.. shadow performed well here though
Yeah. Knee would've actually stood a better chance against The Jon. Either way, The Jon deserved the win. Bro's been grinding HARD.
@@The_Algaeyou're acting like shadow got stomped. He got destroyed on zaf but then brought it back to 2-2 on Claudio.
@@The_Algae Not really. Jon won both the times he faced against Knee before. Even with a 3-0 in EWC.
@@The_Algae imagine acting like shadow got destroyed or something🤡
@@-LAH I wasn't aware my comment seemed to be implying that. I was not.

Wow marqus jordan defeat legendary from korea 😱 good game from marqus jordan

@@Noxeramas Shadow's defense was actually good the whole tournament, it was not just "50/50's". Yall want every character to play the exact same smh

@@ettoreozzy9932 If this was Tekken 7 Knee would have destroyed most of these players. Tekken 8 took the game in a very odd different direction.
Why knee don't use db 1+2 more

Somebody show this to dale wilson
Talk about anticlimax at the end there.
Not at all anticlimactic! That is such a narrow-visioned comment.
@@KarlKognitiv without any context sure is
@@Kaztrofy The context is the end of the match. It's contained the the comment and video. Context doesn't always have to be explicitly given.
❤ tekken
Knee showed a strong psyche, he deserved to be the winner
No lol. The person who wins fairly deserves the win. Someone's outlook doesn't mean anything.
Umm I think the winner deserves the win. You don’t win by having a good comeback and losing to a perfect at the end. The guy who deserved the win got the win.
@@DeyCallMeTEEZY95 knee is better player this time winer just have more luck
@@Faustus7777 Erm, no. He got outplayed. Don't be a mindless fanboy.
@@KarlKognitiv I see only one here mindless fanboy:-/
Now Arslan Ash, looking at the corner probably thinking right now why she abandoned Zafina... 🤣😅😂 Congrats Shadow20z 🦅🦂🕷️🤓
Let him stay away bro. He's just gonna get her nerfed and then chase the next top tier. He's a Tekken God and I respect him, but let him play Alisa or yoshi or something lol
Knee overthinking, his gameplay absurd. He should clear his mind and play like usual.
Knee stopped tier whoring and finally just plays his main , love to see it.
He been playing his main bro.
Bryan is now apparently not strong?
14:19 😳😳😳
You have a lot of complaints then you'll join too. Stupidity is real with Knee.
Christ... I dont think anyone actually knows how to deal with Zafina.
Супер шадов
Knee was at ultra instinct, he gave 200% of skill and lost to that sleepy gimmick lover, hope Knee will improve his game against zafina
Knee lost to a character that has a passive low crush in 90% of her moves. Zafina players smh
df2 ☺
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 USA! USA! USA!!! we finally managed to defeat a Korean in the top 8 boys 🎉 rise up ❤
Knee needs to switch another character
Hell no. I've always said to my friends that Knee could go well in tourneys if he keeps Bryan, and literally is what happens here. Knee with Bryan is just stronger than Knee with a stronger character.
Not really. His bryan is strong af
No.
How many dragunov mains do you want in this game?
I am a bryan main and my respect for knee goes beyond i mean bryan players have a class on it’s own
The char is badass and extremely hard to pilot and a very honest char imo
Respect to him for sticking to bryan with this type of plays he’ll soon make it to the top once again
He’s literally beating Ulsan no need to prove more
Mannn knee’s awesome
That epic run ended by a dude that plays gimmicky waifus chars. Such a damn shame.
I think this is progress for Knee regardless. I think he'll only get better from here.
@@The_Algae yes, he will come out on top soon
Zafina homing lows have to go.
They don't.
Tell me you're a scrub without telling me you're a scrub
Uh no .. next
she doesn't have any homing lows lol. except for SCR df+3,3 which shadow didn't even use. what are you talking about? lol
Nothing has to go... Since she doesn't have any? Except for one which is locked in a stance? lol
Shadow plays like a clown
???
How
Can see y u in pain mate. L0L.
I can see a Zafina hater here... 😭🤣😭 🕷️🦂🦅
How the hell does someone hate on Shadow, you are not a human being
"Shadow plays like a clown". What a clown comment.
เมกาคุณไม่ควรเข้ารอบเรยเข้าไปชิงเเร้วก้สู้ไม่ได้ควรให้นี่เข้าไปมากกว่า😢😢
