Tasty Steve takes no breaks lmao. I’ve seen this guy at every Tekken 8 tournament which is dope because he really is one of the greatest on the mic.
Legit lol mans everywhere
Agreed bro 💯 👍🏻
As someone who has only really dipped my toes into FGC stuff with T8 as the first fighting game I've gotten interested in competitively, Steve really makes me enjoy it so much more. He seems like a great representative for the scene - entertaining, knowledgeable, and quick
Except the only downside is that we will no longer hear "the blue stuff!" when someone uses their rage drive. 😅
Its very good to see Tasty Steve
right man? fr one of the goats
@@rashadvsyou for real
always a treat fr!
Yeah dawg no cap frfr 💯💯💯💥💪 did i do it right?
Mans not calling no other man tasty.
Bro i was having fun watching the hwoarang mirror like i was in the crowd. Both of them would absolutely melt my health bar. That ending was peak.
I have a feeling T8 Hwo is gonna see a lot more tournaments than in 7, feels like he's a genuinely viable tournament character in this game vs previous entries. Hes always been a noob killer but in 7 he fell off at higher ranks, no where near the case with this Hwo im loving this shit
rly good mirror matchup
Hope everyone enjoyed the Top 8! I was a bit nervous even when I'm use to local tourneys and events but glad people are getting to know the NorCal scene a bit more! Thanks to Spooky for having me on to commentate!
You were great! I enjoyed you and Steve as a duo for sure
Great job on commentary
You did awesome my man. You actually had interesting knowledge to share and good insight. You matched Steve's energy and vibe perfectly.
@@zurikmv thank you! Really appreciate it!
@@alsoknownas875 thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
No Reina, no Mishima, this dragunov was just wiping the floor with everyone
Mishimas have generally underperformed in tournament play for ages, they excel when the player is able to read the defense of their opponent, and 9-15 health bars isn’t enough at the top tier to train and download an opponent. Dragunov def has strong buttons, but he’s not alone in the top tier, and there are pros winning with every character on the roster rn.
Tekken tournaments are better with Mishimas tbh
Drag just has crazy good buttons but hella boring
@@pow_dunxonly Mishima who has performed well in tournaments is Devil Jin. And I agree, with the last statement, I'm seeing pros win with some honest and mid tier characters as well like Lars, Bryan etc.
You acting like Mishimas are the most OP characters in the game, they haven't been top tier even in Tekken 7. 😂
@@rodgercampo5332 DVJ was considered a Top Tier in Season 1 and 2 of Tekken 7, heck first two grand finals of the TWT had a Devil Jin in the Grand Finals.
The thing I've always appreciated about Tekken is that learning to play at a high level really is like learning a fighting style. Nandito & FoS showed off two very different Dragunovs.
Thinking in three dimensions, using tools most other fighters don't have, finding multiple ways to play mind games. The depth is intimidating, but so rewarding.
SF6 has a lot going for it, but the tournament play of T8 is showing off why Good Ass Tekken is a catchphrase.
Great work by Steve and Infernal Spyro!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed the top 8!
Mmm.... Strange somce Tekken 8 Is the most character driven game in the whole series and literally NOTHING I've seen at this tournament ù, I haven't seen at... Blue ranks online.
maybe these players are not the best, but even watching the best of the best, they all play the same fkn thing. They stripped player expression and personality in gameplay and bumped up the characters with all the unga bunga bs, the heat stuff and rage arts being so safe and damaging, while the game being built entirely around aggression and mashing buttons, with handicapped movement.
To be honest, I'm already bored of Tekken 8. There is no execution requirements and everything is so character specific... I'd rather get Tekken 8's netcode into Tekken 7 and make a native PS5 version with 2 seconds loading screens and I'd rather put in another 1000 hours into that than play another 100 hours of Tekken 8. It's just not fun. I'm not playing players, I'm PLAYING against CHARACTERS.
Only Jin and kazuya ,match ups are different due to execution barriers. Everyone else plays basically the same. Fought 1 victor, fought them all. It's a braindead character. It's just like playing against the A.I.
Even at fujin ranks, victor players don't block and don't know how to block, they just know the armored move or expulsión.
And this tournament looked like any random replay you can find in the game. And the dragunov player didn't even look like a specialist but just a tier whore.
The real tournaments will look so much worse, just like ranked. Tons of Jun, azucena, dragunov, Nina, king and a few devil Jins.
bro i love Tasty Steve energy EVERY TIME HE COMMENTATS!!
The best in the game imho together with mike
@@monocyte2210 BIG FACTS!!
Yo shout out to infernal Spyro - he did a great job! Hope to hear him commentating more in the future.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the commentary, despite the fumbles here and there haha
@@InfernalSpyrobro u did a great job looking forward to see u in the future tournaments
@@monocyte2210 I hope to get more opportunities, until then it's getting my experience here in California. It'd be nice to travel more often
The music for tekken is banging
Tekken doesn't miss with their soundtracks
Samantha narrating menu selections in the background had me thinkin I was crazy for a minute
47:23 That Black Dynamite reference has me in tears 😂Steve funny asl
and at 25:53 haha
LMFAO that’s my favorite line too bro
GGs Nandito. Sick Yoshi
I'm taking notes on his fakeouts lol
47:47 watch your head 😶🌫
47:48 Watch your, head bruh
47:49 AYO GUARD YOUR DOME DAWG!!
Bro was having no luck getting up love to see it that's the beauty of Tekken baby gotta watch how you rise up round here
Man talk about Damage Per Second bro gave us an actual video example
Infernal Spyro did well on commentary, bounced off Steve well its a good vibe
Steve is great to be around for sure! I'm use to being around our local NorCal players/commentary so it was taking some time to see how to fit with Steve so he could shine more. It was a nice learning experience
Fear was just on a different level compared to other challengers
Oh shit this is NorCal?? I gotta show up for some good ass tekken. I haven’t heard much about NorCal tekken in a while, so I’m hyped to find this
Yes it is! We got a few locals in the area depending on where you live at. Our main ones are in the south bay (san jose and sunnyvale) but we also have stuff going on in east bay and San Fran.
@@InfernalSpyroSan Fran scene is strong. Visited there once and got my ass handed to me. Smaller than Chicago but filled with talent
@@InfernalSpyro I'm juiced! Thank you for the info!
Man this is some good ass Tekken and the commentary is funny asf at times. Nandito's Yoshi is insane, FOS' Drag too. Enjoyed this so much
Thanks Spooky!❤❤❤
Fear of Silence is DEMON! That man was playing out of his mind
Cant wait for the international tournament. Its gonna be good!
Glad to see tasty Steve still doing what he does best. Can't wait for him and Rip to co-comment in a future tourney
King player giving the finger to opponent for using throws... This is like online ranked!
The audacity 😂
14:24 Hwoarang fist bump
Thanks for the show!
Tasty Steve is ready for TWT 2024 to begin. He's commentated
this event and Frosting Faustings, so far this year. He's a legend in my book 📖
Man its good to see hwoarang in the grandfinals
Would love to see Infernal Spyro at more Tekken majors! I love his energy!
FOS'S dragonov pressure is insane, he literally gives no room to react 🔥
1:07:16 Nice duck indeed (he even goes with the kick as follow up)
1:08:26 King took a beating
1:12:37 Nice roll
LETS GOOOOOOO!!
FOS Dragunov has sick sidesteps!
At 1:04:55 What controller was Nanditothebandito using? I’d like to know! As a pad player.
looks like the hori fighting commander ultra.(hori ps5 pad)
@@Mozzesi256 thanks for the reply! I will check it out
Been using those for years and let me tell you that they are the best pads for execution heavy fgs
He uses the Astro C40 controller
@@InfernalSpyro Thank you 4 this
Time to lab against dragunov
Nice to see this!
This king player in the first match filled me up with so much rage
Sorprendido con ese final😮
bruh its been so long since i seen some spooky stuff spooky stream stuff, Spooky man you got me into street fighter just watching all the youtube content back in the day glad youre still doing well fam
Why is Yoshimitsu flash considered balanced???? Can someone explain?
Amazing tournament run fear
Nando vs Bao was a good showcase of what happens to me anytime I play against Yoshi
People gotta remember, dragunov db3+4 is +7. Heat smash is 16 frames. It’s not getting interrupted by anything other than rage art.
Why are they pressing into -7 at all 😂😂
Rage art does not activate after someone did heat smash on you , you just get ch launched or dead most of the time. Just like you apparently, cannot duck and block a low because the game does not respond .
25:53, bro threw out that Black Dynamite reference knowing how many heads it would fly right over lol but I love it
2:20 the df2 from drag went right with the beat into the combo and music turning up lmao
Nandito's Yoshi was fun to watch. Stealing some tech for sure
Infernal Spyro is a cool dude. hope he commentates more going forward.
Thank you! I try to be haha I'll be looking to get better down the road. Hopefully I get more opportunity
Saw them bracelets and knew my guy was in the spot. Not even the biggest tekken fan. Watching for Tasty Steve and for Spooky. Shoutout Sanford Kelly
This game is beautiful...
1:09:30 I think everyone is just so used to Yoshi doing crazy stuff that one mentions this because damn that was nice.
25:52 Is this damage legit?!
26:20: B1 rushdown
28:21: King's Nice Setup for launch
29:27: Tekken Cinematic Universe
31:24: Double Clinch
The MK1 Raiden Electric Field tech Steve dropped was fire lol
Give Yoshimitsu his own game already Bamco!
1:59 what’s this, armored move? (I don’t know what the right term is), he got hit but continued the move
It’s king’s UF 3+4 kick
@@Ninjasimpmunk does each character have such a move?
@@Cons2911yeah each character has armored moves. Some are better than others
Dragunov is so sick in TK8!🔥🙌
Not sure how Kim got to top 8. He only managed to not get "No Round Brown'd" twice. Maybe his opponents were just that OD
A Drag winning this??? omg so crazzzyyyyyy *insert sarcasm*
Drag is unstoppable
Dragunov doesnt usually get far in bracket tho, the player is just really good
how do you do kings move 27:17
Bring aris for commentry and that King player was cocky glad he KOed out of tourny
2024, a whole new Tekken, and Steve is STILL calling Inserity “in-ser-retty” lol
Also everytime I watch King gameplay I always see at least one throw I haven't seen before.
round 2 of that very first match was clean by dragunov
Fear side step & side walk is my Fear
How the F... can i make the fake spin grap with Dragunov?
Odd seeing so much yoshimitsu in tekken8. Haven't seen this much yoshimitsu since socalibur6.
what do the blue sparks mean?
Perfect input
Kof 15 ?
Glad to see yoshi is top tier imo.
Watching just for tasty Steve commentary
Did Rip get fired from commentary? Haven't seen him around
he retired to stream full time and spend more time with his wife.
@@loveu4464what about aris? what happened to him did he also retire and only just become full time streamer?
Idk if fired is correct, but was at least ghosted by TWT, may have reduced his passion to commentate, or there's else going on that make him risky to hire. All I know is noripnobuy, buy a tee shirt
I like how tasty Steve said inferno’s name like it was super move 😂😂😂😂😂🔥
Now I have to say my name like that for now on in honor of him haha
@@InfernalSpyro🤣🤣🤣🤣exactly !
You can't use rage art on tournaments? 🧐
29:50 killed me. “Normal. I want water flavor.”
How come they are allowed to pick a stage? I feel as if they should always pick random
When you lose a set you can either change your character or change the stage.
@@Sturmjager yeah I know I just think picking the map is too much.
They gonna Nerf my main man Dragunov hahaha finally a buffed up Drag we deserved
INFERNAL SPYRO the guy who doesn't running out of words "YOU KNOW"
Ah sweet to see Tastey Steve Again 😅
Don’t play fear of silence is the lesson out of this tournament
Tasty nailed the commentatory .
Can we please get Bakuryu the Mole in tekken!!!
Tekken 8 is cool
dragunov is a differnt monster now! JDCR might be back!!
Tasty "Good Ass Tekken" Steve is the best commentator hands down.
The new Hwoarang design actually look exactly like a one character from a PS2 game "garouden: fist or twist". I don't know his name (because this game on japan language), but it is him, like red hair style, white/blue kimono, and even shape of face))
is akuma available in tekken 8?
Nope (or at least not yet)
Grabs are fun. It’s how I dominate games or it cost me 😂 but to dominate them is fun enough to risk grabs.
Tekken 8 goat
Ok..I like the movement so far in these tekken 8 tournaments.. I'll be honest I think the hit noises are a bit too obnoxious! In my opinion they need toning down..
Steve is the only commentator we care about other than markman
Nandito the bandito top player bro 🎉
What are you even supposed to do against Yoshi's flash? This is a game with no DPs/counters, so wtf are you supposed to do?
Jump over it
I need Tekken 8 I'm still playing 7 can someone help me??
Hay algo de taste esteve en esas pulseras
Tastysteeve was born to be a tekken commentator)
47:28 Is that SIDE STEP only
x1⬇️ or x2⬇️⬇️? 🤔
1⬇️
@@AFROplaysMC 👌
Yes yes yes yes
Dragonuv makes Hwoarang look balanced. That’s how annoying he is in tekken8
steve the legend
i just feel adrenaline from the screen
Bandits should of stuck with yoshi nd no grab breaks crazy but still love you man
Ese dragunov enamora❤❤
lol I love FGC. We can not be from North Carolina but we know exactly what a "NC Reset" means. Like a Chicago Punish or Canadian Burst
