@@PhiDXlove your content, when the Tekken 8 officially drop could you make a content for strings or mix up that can be backdashed (especially back turned) to avoid?
shoutouts to me at the very start of the video LOL! this was such an awesome thing for our community to put together. Chapter did the scene so well making this happen. i didn't find out who the Secret Santa was until an hour before, and it was so hard to keep silent about it lmao. you got on that VOD review mad quick too, shoutouts!
This was hype because of who it is, and I saw this as just a landslide victory due to exhaustion and being starstruck, but of course your analysis reveals so much more going on than I initially thought. Great stuff man. Also, IMO I don't really need a perfect 3-5 second rewind. A lot is going on at a very fast pace, I honestly like when it's 10 seconds, just helps me anticipate whats gonna happen more and see the context better.
JDCR not even serious anymore and still can beat most top players without breaking a sweat…😮💨😮💨😮💨 Hope dragonslayer learns more from this and becomes strong…🥳🥳
gives us a perspective how insane World Class players are. No offense on JDCR (I love him) but he is having a rough game in 2018 (RIP DRAGUNOV) and he is not even considered the best of the best. Yet he still managed to beat the shit out of everyone despite inactive in tourneys during 2019-2023 (is it because going to EU/NA is really expensive and not worth it if you dont have sponsors)
As an Armor King main whose favorite and most inspiring player is JDCR, I am immensely grateful to you for this video and analysis! Huge amount of useful information, there is a lot to learn! ♥
Seeing JDCR play in TOP 8 vs him playing any other time is just so vastly different. Top 8 JDCR is just plain defensive and too careful. Like, I've seen him play safe with 80% hp vs like 20% at 30 seconds, only for him to lose the round. I'll rephrase and say it's not even being defensive, he just refuses to do anything until he loses. Seeing him play casual like this, it's such a breath of fresh air since you can see how good he can be. I say it's like akin to Japanese/Pakistani play style of aggression, which clearly works for him since he'll be in Top 8. Then again, once in there, he'll revert to overtly safe playstyle, sometimes using the MINIMUM punishment, ultimately costing him in the end.
Great Video as always. Really enjoy the breakdowns. My first time being at Bonus Round and being able to compete and see you, justframejames, kodee and then even Jdcr play was crazy hype. Shout outs to Chapter for being able to make this happen. Mans the goat.
this content is godlike. so glad I found your channel. this is exactly the kind of tekken content I've been looking for, as someone that felt overwhelmed by t7.
Dragonslayer is goated asf tbh, i met him in this diñky vegas gaming hub during evo 2022 and we played in there and played each other in pools. We then sat together during finals and man dude is genuinely such a cool guy and when we occasionally play on steam homie smokes me everytime 😎
@@PhiDX it was just hillarious😂 made me really laugh hahaha but great vid man! I always look up to you😊 i managed to play vs momo-dog as well offline and you're a noctis player i really want to fight against someday!
That last part of you commenting on this high level approach of actually having the read but delaying the duck and only going for it when the opponent's attack animation starts in order to *never show your cards in the process to the very last moment* is very precious information because the highly-experienced professional players *actually do this.* Because the opponent doesn't even see any semblance of a duck, he really feels encouraged to go HS, believing he has you. Turns out he dies miserably because you had the read all along but made him believe you were gonna take the low. I often do this instinctively against Anna FC low launcher and just now realized this modus operandi being an actual technique. Damn... your commentary is really the cream of the crop.
great video Phidx, love the breakdowns. i been trying to get my lil bro into tekken and ive been using your videos to help explain some things and concepts for awhile.
Mannnn, I remember running into Chapter at Round One, that's how I originally got into the FGG. This shit is dope, also how close are you to getting memberships?
AK d4 is -2 on hit so it sets up WS2 perfectly in alot of ways, i don't think it is considered generic as on block its only -12, very similar to noctis db3
@@PhiDX i lied and i watch some Tekken but haven't played so I'm familiar with the notation too but as to what moves are available to each player and their pros and cons i didnt know but it was making sense from my POV
Hi PhiDX...great analysis. I believe Armor King is slightly stronger than King and put him a tier above King as I believe he's more well rounded. Some folks hated that. What do you think? Am I completely off the rocker or what?
@@AOTOM382 Nah my comment is a reference to a hilarious ICFC moment related to dragonslayer that will forever live in my head rent free. Type in "if you know you know", it's on tenomedias channel lmao.
i love that there are pronouns next to the players names. it really helps people learn easier and not resort to he or they for everything, it's great to see pronouns being normalized!
Man, ak's b1 is i12 and df2 is -12 on block🤓
it's been a long drive home LOL my fault. Thank you for the correction
@@PhiDXlove your content, when the Tekken 8 officially drop could you make a content for strings or mix up that can be backdashed (especially back turned) to avoid?
Lmao, I knew it was -12 but I started believing Phi's conviction in saying it's -11 lol.

Gee. I totally couldn’t tell it was you JDCR. Really had us there for a moment. 🙄
He was clearly doing it for fun only.
your rlly wise
They literally announced his entry tf you mean? Are you having a 'tism moment or am I? I genuinely can't tell.
That's 100% Santa Claus, no clue what you're talking about.
Everyone knew, you bozo. They literally announced him 😂🤡
PhiDX hope to see you flourish in T8, you're one of my favourite tekken content creators ❤🎉

banger video, ty for letting us know this happened
"Meta Quest 3??" im crying that ad situation was so funny
real ones sat through the ad 💯
11:24 By the way, if you don't like all the pauses, you can leave.
Fixed it for you, brother. You have great content and we hope you never stop.
i love your analysis! learning so much
i could almost see an aura of power and domination surrounding jdcr when he rounded that corner
As the ad comes, you said we should skip 10-15 seconds, so i did and got an Ad on TH-cam😐 thanks for that PhiDX😂😂
LOL bro TH-cam is getting too smart with it... I don't get to choose where ads go

Anyone else get an ad after phi’s ad on twitch went away 😂
I like the information you provide on what to look out for and mindset in your videos
Anakin looks like jolly today
Lil Majin beat this guy!? HOLY HELL
Extraordinary! Can't wait to see your T8 content.
Nice to know that Santa mains armour king, he's a wise man.
That Berserk hoody is the reason Dragonslayer beat everyone.
Here from Button Check, amazing breakdown!
15:27 you got me
This was like Superman when he puts on the glasses.
Amazing video as always!
This Santa doesn`t give a gifts for free. Gifts should be deserved.

ohhh no wonder JDCR's IG story showed he was on a plane, i was wondering where he was going

i've always known santa played Tekken when he got me Tekken 3 for christmas
I like the way you explain everything. TMM doesn't do that often.
Such a good idea 🎉🎉🎉
You don't get the recognition you deserve, but continue no doubt it will pay off. Wish you well!
please keep pausing i love the explanations of thought processes
AK d4 is -2 on hit so it sets up WS2 perfectly in alot of ways, i don't think it is considered generic as on block its only -12, very similar to noctis db3
a 50 person Tekken bracket would be great. The game has been dead at our locals for over a year now
just curious phi, why no mention of aks dark upper in the intro?
Kuni not really whiffin like that lololol
the only thing that surprises me is how both of them picked odd costumes
Idk anything about Tekken so thanks for explaining the matchup beforehand 👍
For sure! Did it make sense even with a lot of notation? Trying to make it accessible
@@PhiDX i lied and i watch some Tekken but haven't played so I'm familiar with the notation too but as to what moves are available to each player and their pros and cons i didnt know but it was making sense from my POV
AK is my boy forever. He aint TOP teir but he is a BLAST TO PLAY!
Seeing you wrestle against Twitch's video player was as entertaining as the match itself lmao.
Hi PhiDX...great analysis. I believe Armor King is slightly stronger than King and put him a tier above King as I believe he's more well rounded. Some folks hated that. What do you think? Am I completely off the rocker or what?
I personally agree
cant sit here and tell me you couldnt tell right away that it was jdcr 😭
Love this❤
jdcr is my goat
What does the Santa get for the win?
Main not in T8 gang :(
That's the dlc life
I can tell that jdcr from a mile away xD
If AK ever makes it to T8, I hope ffn2 is nerfed. High crush, plus on hit, low CH launchers should stagger
Jdcr looks so cute in this Outfit 😂😂😂😂
Why the hell does it say he\him under the player names... What a joke.
Who is....dragonslayer?
That's the homie!!
You might not have heard of him but he beat Phi at this tourney who if you remember beat Arslan. So an extremely strong player.
He beat anakin and arslan? He's living up to his name 😅
