Dawood said it about Pakistani stuff: " In other countries, players respect minus frames but majority of the pakistani players have setups even on minus frames so your attack is compromised". Another thing you may have noticed about Tanveer hitting so many lows was because Atif claimed that CBM doesn't duck a lot
Koreans don't panic against lows they can't see or chipping damage lows. Very old school way of playing that I personally grew up with. Everything has a pro and a con though. Pakistan knows they rather eat the little lows than duck and eat big mids.
@@dawaheraglobal6248 From where Hafiz Tanveer is, they pronounce it as "iz" sound at the end with Z sound I think what you're referring is common in middle east perhaps. Our region is South Asia (Pakistan)
Keep them coming. I hope you crank out stuff like this for tekken 8. I wish I could’ve found stuff done this well when I first started learning tekken. It would’ve helped immensely. This is still helping me immensely. Coming from other fighting games. There’s so much info about tekken that seems to be tribal knowledge. And you can’t ask the right questions if you don’t know them.
The analyses of the last two vids/matches were both eye and mind opening. It's nice to have a pro take you through the matches. The learning is much more efficient that way. Thanks for the vids
Bro this was gripping. I have ADHD and I think I watched it all and barely blinked. Need more Korea vs Pakistan analysis like this. I have multiple tekken gods and TTG but I am hard stuck at a level where it takes me ages to learn a high level opponent's timing or impose my own. I feel like watching these is starting to help.
Atif clearly said that CBM just doesn't' duck and Tanveer got the memo. And Tanveer's offence is insane. I have seen Nauman and Heera, the most aggressive Steves, opting for open stage vs Tanveer.
Never seen so much detailed breakdown of our PK gameplay, and that PS4 lag you mentioned is real... in our gaming zone, we have pc and ps4 as well to maintain that eye, great work bro. Oh, you mentioned traditional backdash being unsafe, I just have match for you where you will see how we really exploited backdash which was beleived to be safe and it was hard to beleive that it was unsafe... I can't find the whole video but you can the match with MainMan's reaction >>> th-cam.com/video/CGaAht70evA/w-d-xo.html Great analysis, cheers!
I'm a total fan of your analysis videos! I hope you'll keep up this (insane) good work and am looking forward for your future t8 videos. I intend to work a lot on that game and I hope you'll continue to post videos about various characters. It's very cool, it opens our eyes on the subtilities of the game and it sometimes even explain why we do certain things when playing. You are by very far my favorite tekken youtuber
Best breakdown of a match I've seen yet. Learned a ton from this. just wanted to add something I noticed At 22:26 that final moment in round 2 of game 3, tanveer ducks, gets ws1 into d2. In doing so covers a panic low, throws out his fastest move from that position, AND spends Starburst. D2 there isn't just safe on block, it's +8. So smart bro. He is him.
I'm from India and a great tekken fanatic. So glad to see atleast Pakistan's so much alive tekken scene. I so much relate to the struggles of our Pakistani brother, playing tekken for 5 rupees in childhood cuz we didnt had money for consoles. It hurts me so much that tekken scene here is dying.
I can relate if it's about using lows a lot. I play Lars and when I have to play against players with a strong bias toward the defensive playstyle (which is the default in Tekken 7) and people mostly standing and not ducking much, it is really hard to launch them, especially with all the minus frames that Lars has on the block. This forces me to spam lows like crazy to force the opponent to duck more often, otherwise, they just don't care and the launch will never hit. Additionally, Lars does not have any natural launcher on low so I need to spam them like crazy to make the opponent scared even a little bit. I also do my best to take as many turns from the opponent as possible and mix them in neutral so they don't get the chance to punish me for my giant minus frames. Overall seems effective (as for Lars at least xD) but it is super risky and requires a really good reading of the opponent because one unlucky low is enough to get launched by the low parry. That's why I'm super excited for Tekken 8 because it will force people to be more risky instead of sitting in a block all the time. This will move the needle more toward mind games playstyle instead of optimization of punishes. Lars also has safer moves in Tekken 8 overall, so it will be much more fun to play him.
I agree with you, I also play Lars and back in the olds days when I was focusing on frame data a lot I was always afraid to use any Low with Lars (almost every low is launch punishable😅) But when I spam low like crazy it condition them to start ducking, then I can open up with some mids and potentially launch them. Sometimes you just gotta test their defense and stop being on the defensive side
@@muhdazhad04 yee... Lars players in Tekken 7 just have to put in a lot of extra work and risk their lives almost every second, otherwise, nothing can be done :D. Imagine what will happen In Tekken 8 when all of those hardened players unleash their power with Lars finally not being total trash xD. We could see that already in part in Nobi's games on Tekken 8 Showcase.
Some content concerning what differentiates ps4 tekken from pc tekken would be appreciated, ever since knee talked about Noctis being insanely good on pc but not as good in his ps4 counterpart it's been sorta bugging me like how pro players would incorporate that into their gameplay in tournaments ect..
Steve main here Claudio is my sub main .. Just wanted to say .. that i have recently started watching your micro analysis of persons gameplay and it has help me alot as of recently.. Help me to a ryujin for my claudio Thanks alot bro ... Trying to reach at least tekken god before 8 comes out 🙏
I am Pakistani and I can tell why Pakistani players are so good. Every town has at least one arcade game shop where players have a chance to compete rather than just playing story mode. In fact console is so so expensive in Pakistan and online playing is also very rare because internet isn't speedy enough with zero lagging. And economy is also not so good to support world class tournaments. Therefore arcade playing is the heaven where stars are produced like Arslan Ash and Hafiz Tanveer. Good work stars. At least world recognizes what Pakistani's can achieve especially in this undemocratic regime.
Makes sense to me, optimal movements can be punished too, but are harder to do so. Changing your tempo by doing a slower attack could hit your opponent while they assumed they could go back in unpunished. At that point you just do your best to start punish game.
Bro i was meaning to ask you to make a series maybe name it "Expose The Genius of" Pakistani/korean/japanese/others etc Tekken Player. only you are and you can do it the way i wanted it...
I’m Pakistani and this might sound weird but it’s lowkey due to how we use our hands when we eat. That’s my theory at least. If you look at how Arslan rests his fingers on the buttons, it’s the same way we use breads such as naan to pick up bites of meat/veggies while eating. It’s kind of hard to explain, but there’s just a cultural adjustment to a specific hand position that makes it really easy to play w proper hand/wrist posture for extended periods of time. Any Desi (brown) person who has seen how Arslan or Pakistani players press buttons will probably recognize what I’m talking about.
i get your point but how is that gonna help tho like when we mostly eat straight from hands, our fingers are usually closed in like that if you are reffering to naan so arent there like 8 buttons on the arcade stick for which we need our fingers to be far away from each other, i get the close buttons could be helpful but how is this gonna help when we need to press 2 buttons opposite of each other
Since you paid attention to details about his name. Here is another fun fact. His name is pronounced as "Hafez" not "Hafeez". And yes you are correct about its meaning. Kudos for that.
Me and my friends had the saying koreans play pure tekken pakistani plays disrespectful tekken I didnt mean this as a insult what I mean is disrespecting frames, follow ups and sometimes even general ideas of tekken that most players are used to.
It is likely subconscious behavior trained over many many matches. However, they are also likely able to perceive/modify this behavior as professional players
Subconsciousness is the best word to describe it. I don't think every player thinks that much in real-time. They subconsciously think of action-reaction moves and their outcomes. Getting that feel is pretty common through practicing a lot versus many random players using the characters you play more often. But when an analyst puts "the subconsciousness of players trained over thousands of matches including the fact that they're really good players" into words. It will definitely sound impossible xD
Yes Hafiz is a special title given. Not his real name. After the Hafiz is his real name or ig name. Why he use title? Don't know. But that title is not easy to get
I feel like more PK breakdowns will lead to someone finding an anti Pak gameplan. I dont know who or how. Maybe another region will amerge with a gameplay style that is naturally antipak the way PAK destorys Korea.
Hello bro, how are you
I really enjoy your analysis and commentary. thank you so much for your kind words for me i appreciate this.
Very well played tournament!
Love your game tanveer, keep it up
are you hafiz-e-Quran?
Yes, he is MashAllah. Hafiz means one who memorizes.
hafiz is also a surname. having hafiz in name not necessarily means a hafiz.@@syeddanishanwer
Dawood said it about Pakistani stuff: " In other countries, players respect minus frames but majority of the pakistani players have setups even on minus frames so your attack is compromised". Another thing you may have noticed about Tanveer hitting so many lows was because Atif claimed that CBM doesn't duck a lot
this is because in middle stage of Pakistani players
they are toooooooooo much aggresive
so we create setups on minus ;)
"I'm not mashing, I just have a setup on minus!" jk
these are the dicks of a champion

Hafiz means Guardian. Hence, who memorized the Quran has then guarded the Quran in their heart. Hafiz-e-Quran is a Guardian of The Quran.
I am genuinely impressed how phdix analysis is so good based on actual facts regarding korean and pakistani players 😊
Was not expecting hafiz breakdown thats next level shit. Good shit man lmao

DAYUM, like, physically?!
Could you perhaps analyse a tag 2 match? Would love to hear your input
can i ask what is the point of sidestepping randomly like that ? why not just backdash to mix up timings
Stupid question, what’s The difference between playing on PC vs PS4?
Input lag on ps4 is bad compare to PC
So you're saying that they think through every micro side step? No autopiloting? It's impossible. Great match and your comments btw! :)
It is likely subconscious behavior trained over many many matches. However, they are also likely able to perceive/modify this behavior as professional players

But when an analyst puts "the subconsciousness of players trained over thousands of matches including the fact that they're really good players" into words. It will definitely sound impossible xD
how does it affect players whether theyre on ps4 on pc? is it like a significant difference
Very. Input delay means some things cannot be reacted to and some movements are harder to do safely

is not he the same guy who removed Knee from the last EVO?
so according to matchup analysis is claudio > noctics ?
On PS4 probably. Otherwise imo it's a harder matchup for claudio than normal due to the unusual whiff punish threat and CH threat
Pakistani law players literally have a plethora of set ups even in -8
And can insta ws4 with no problem
Will you ever visit Pakistan?
I hope you will ❤️
too much rewind is annoying too...Maybe U can make it slow mo rather than rewind ...just make a comment sorry
Whats de difference between pc and ps4?
theres more delay on ps4
in PC you can disable v-sync and you get minimum input lag (of course you need to have a monitor with with as less input lag as possible)
About 3 ms. As small as that may be, when you are dealing with punishment windows that fucks with timing a lot when you are not used to it.
So how much delay is there on PS4 in comparison?
Man, Hafiz was deep in cbm’s head in the end. Mad strats
