Fun fact: This is the first time Kazuya has made Grand Finals at a major in 2 different games Riddles made it with Smash Kazuya and Keisuke did it with Tekken Kazuya
Nobody taking about keisuke . Keisuke being in grand finals and was almost about to defeat Atif. . It's nearly impossible for kazuya to make top 8 . Mad respect to bro . From Pakistan 🙌
Please correct yourself., he was almost about to reset not defeat Atif, plus Atif is the one who sent him into losers bracket by destroying him 2-0 in winners semifinal.
Keisuke is great, fear the Mishima mains but t8 less fundamental and more chaotic now with heat and hp regen and that's why there is so many close matches and arslan and knee so inconsistent in t8. Damn I want to se more Bryans and Yoshi in top 8 more.
I'd say using that many characters worked against him more than it worked for him. Sure there is the benefit of throwing your opponent off with throwing multiple match ups at them, but there is also the possibility of messing up more because your brain hasn't fully adjusted in a set to properly play that many characters one after the other. There's a reason most top players stick to a main and have a secondary or 2 at most for competitive play. The familiarity is there and they can think and execute more efficiently. Doujin is doing himself a disservice.
@@shingai5694 I wouldn't say he's doing himself a disservice. It's obvious that Atif and Keisuke were just better players than him. Also he's been using different characters for years now which obviously he's more comfortable with. The fact that he reached top 3 with using 9 different characters should be an accomplishment, not a disservice because I can guarantee you, no one has done that yet.
@@kugashira1018lets stop acting like Dragonuv is anywhere near as busted in this version of T8 in comparison to the rest of the cast of characters, as Akuma was in T7 in comparison to that cast of characters. Lames like you are the worst. I don't see you or anyone else winning constantly with T7 Akuma or T8 Dragonuv because of them being "busted" smh it comes down to the pilot. Either win with these characters consistently yourself to prove your claims or S,T'F-U and give people their due credit and props.
@HumbleHurricane at the top the only difference is some characters are just more viable than others, with each having their own god tier moves yes? Some just have more than others so it is probably more fair then t7
Congrats to CEO T8 2024 Winner Atif Butt. Keisuke was a beast for bringing Kazuya to one of the highest level of gameplay that is something else its fricking cool. For a first time viewer Doujin might looked like he is throwing the fights but nah that is his play style, lose then change character rinse and repeat lol.
FACT: Keisuke purposely dropped the combo on the last game so Murray will be forced to fix Kazuya's DF1 in the next patch and it'll cover the entire screen, as perfectly intended. Maintaining the Agenda, is the Top Priority
@@Zakillah nah, Kazuya's Df1,2 is notoriously known for being such a crappy, inconsistent tornado. They either need to fix it or give him some other tornado to staple.
Wow Atif is a legend ... But Joka had cluth matches And Keisuke just became a fan favorite Wave dashing like no other at this level with Kazuya and reaching the finals speaks volumes for his skillsets
Most likely they’re saving that for Evo being that’s it’s in a couple of weeks. They’ll probably drop her the day after evo is over along with the new patch.
Each season is 1 year 4 characters is 1 character per quarter (every 3 months) eddy came out in April. Most likely will get Lidia right after evo with next coming late September early October then the last character dec/jan
God bless Keisuke for going all the way to the final game and then throwing, ensuring us those juicy Kazuya ~~fixes~~ buffs on the next patch, the rest is up to you now Murray Maintaining the Agenda, is the Top Priority
All part of our elaborate plan as kazuya mains to call him the weakest character in the game so the devs unknowingly buff him into the most op monstrosity in video game history
Keisuke is hell of a player as I have seen his replays but Atif on the other hand dominating such a player with the series of perfect shows the level and efforts of pakistani players. Good games though. Love to see pakistani players bringing back trophies to home.
Keisuke really did his thing. I would love to see him again making it as far as he did. To have a mental stack to make it that far was Kaz is insane. Everyone knows what Kaz wants to do, and yet he thought outside the box to open his opponents. It was also funny that crowd got hyped every time he wave dashed point blank. Luv it
Congrats `Atif Butt` for wining the CEO tournaments without any losing, just like `Arslan Ash` in OTB (Italy). 🙂 I think the key for `Atif Butt` here is how he can escape from huge pressure many times, and fight back even in low HP, in several times in tournaments, this is very impressive ! As you see, even `JDCR` using the same Dragunov, he was losing because can`t escape from the pressure. The down side for `Keisuke` that he was doing a big mistakes by dropping combos for several times, just like `Bilal`. So again, this is such insane tournaments by CEO, and again congrats for `Atif Butt` !! 🙂
@@KuroYagi124 : Aren't other players can do that also? But why they can't like Atif? 😬 Any way, side step has a weakness, which is 'homing attack' and 'homing low attack', i guess you didn't know that right? 😬 And also, if player can read the side steps timing really well, like super sharp eye, and good reading, in the end of side steps, there is a bit 'delay gap', and can easily hit by rage art or quick lauch attack, ops, you didn't know that either... 😬
@@HusniArsyah actually i did. But spamming homing attacks is not that effective buddy :)) sidestep block deals with many homing attacks too. Also just because you know it in theory doesn't make dealing with sidesteps even at the highest level as you see from these matches for example. Got it muhamed? 🤣🤣
Now as a king main who has worst backdash and not that good of a sidestep because of a large frame plus with no more homing throws. Opponents can easily spam sidesteps right to avoid kings linearity and it's not fair :))
Super bummed Keisuke dropped the combos for the reset, was rooting for him all the way what a player! Ever since he got signed with Zeta Division been keeping track of him at Dreamhack Dallas and dreamhack Summer. Definitely one of my favourite players to watch and huge congrats to Atiff and Doujin OMG the man used so many characters in a single tournament, I have never seen any fighting game tournament with one player picking 9 characters. Man is really the Molujin of Tekken 8
Litrally a Kazuya in the GF, its my dream since tekken 7 days. Keisuke is so so fun to watch. Love his game play. Once a Kazuya is on fire you just can't stop him.
k-wiss did fairly well against jdcr i think overall in this tournament he played the best from any of his tournament it's so good to see him improve many of his rounds were just like pure adrenaline he even managed to put pressure on jdcr (eventhough he lost those rounds) but he is improving i would love to see him win a tournament someday
I'm really excited to see more of Keisuke, it's rare to see a Mishima player up in the top 8s, he was absolutely tight. Lots of Dragunovs in the tournament though and nobody made him look as lethal as Atif did. Would have liked JDCR to bring out Reina.
Just let a pakistani win the tournament and then see the comment section full of his praise and when they loses the comment section mostly contains 10-15 comments.
Keisuke is the true champ here making it to grand finals with the kazuya hell yea props for that alone. Atif is ight but got carried by his character honestly
I think the match of the year is Nobi vs Rangchu Dreamhack grand finals. Ao vs Joka may be the 2nd best, but it was neither a final nor a qualifier. Plus, the slowmo spring kick bug made Ao's loss kind of unfair. Atif vs Keisuke grand final is also high up.
@@benjamindaniels9828 It's a bug, Victor's kick went all the way up Feng's arse and should have connected. Hype moment for the viewer still, but fucked up for Ao who might have qualified for EWC, and has a terrible luck in general lol. Then again, I'm kind of happy it went that way, because Ao winning could have possibly ended Keisuke's run sooner.
