Edge's Hwoarang had the protagonist energy of a anime main character that you rooted so bad to win against all odds... It was so satisfying seeing him play! Deserved to win TWT finals. But Rangchu was cool too!
Hwoarang is similar to King in the afternoon they get ans jts mostly from from scrub ass players who can't take accountability for their ass getting kicked
1:42 About the running tackle: Notice how after the hell sweep, edge switches to right stance and then starts running. So essentially, if hwoarang starts running from right stance, he accelerates super fast and gets the shoulder tackle in a much shorter distance than actually required. So Hwoarang pretty much gets an almost guaranteed +14 oki after his high damage combo enders that throw the opponent a bit far and his hellsweep. I dunno if it was edge who found this tech or someone else tho. Kinda surprised no one even notices it while Edge uses it in every game. If it was something more obvious it would have been reported to oblivion by now.
Crazy run and Edge deserves the recognition of taking a mid or high mid tier character and showing what good Tekken fundamentals can still win you games in the elite tier of players.
The point about Hwo being known by everybody in Korea, is it just him being Korean? Like is it mandatory that they pick Hwo when they start playing and that's how it just goes into their brain like a core memory?
Nah, the character.just been out for a really long time. Since Tekken 3. If anything, in Korea they learn Mishima first to understand movement and punishment.
Thank god Hwoarang is starting to be appreciated by everyone. Soon enough, I can stop playing the character and getting hate mail for just existing lol.
yo phidx, just wanted to say thank you for speaking about frame traps in one of your latest streams, that helped me a ton in online battles now i can reliably launch people to do the combos i always trained for :D
Looking at them in between matches, their body language tells me they might be on the spectrum. Not surprising, since they've managed to become the very best. Awesome matches to watch, they're both great players.
After watching Edge's run at the TWT 2024 Finals, I'll definitely be picking Hwoarang back up as one of my mains for sure. Also, completely unrelated to the topic but I find both of Jin's close friends (Ling Xiaoyu and Hwoarang) to be more fun, though albeit much more complex to play, than Jin himself currently is in T8. 😅
T1 Edge is my favorite players hands down. Been supporting him ever since Tekken 8 TWT started and I was screaming my lungs out and clapping like an insane person during his journey in the TWT finals. So proud of him, and I can't wait to see what he cooks next.
I have a question and idk where else to ask😂 So my friend recently got his ps5 and we decided to play private matches but aren't able to for some reason. We both get ready but after 5-10 sec it just resets. We both can play multiplayer separately and with other friends but not between ourselves. Anyone who can help out with this issue?
Tekken would be a lot cooler if they nerfed everyone to hwoarangs level. I swear he is the only fair and honest character in the game. His lows only knockdown on counterhit, no mixup throws, no guard breaks and no evasive launchers that completely go under mids. Why do we even have guard breaks. The unblockables were not enough???
I think Hwo, Steve, and Paul are a good benchmark for Balance in 8 because each of them have powerful aspects of Play without being too overbearing and require a set of Skills from the Player to do well. Hwo requires Commitment to learn all of his Stances and Commitment to play because a lot of his stuff is Unsafe. Steve requires a strong chin from the Player because while he has incredibly powerful Fundamental Tools he does not have great Mixups or Value out of Hits. Paul requires a lot of poise in the Neutral because his Advancing Attacks are some of the worst in the Game and many Attacks can be beaten with Sidestep Right. But all of those Characters have strong Tools. Paul with his Damage and Flexibility between Big and Small Tekken. Hwoarang with his Deep Movelist and Advantage State. And Steve with his diverse and top level Small Tekken.
Again, here we have someone who knows nothing about Hwoarang. He's one of the hardest characters to play at high rank because of how many weaknesses he has
Hi I agree with Arslan Ash that Hwaoarang is top tier. Top 5 for sure, because of difficulty of blocking his mix ups etc. Have a great day. p.s.T8 Feng is underrrated as well just because one of the best pro"s didn't pick him for tournaments.
And for one glorious day, the world was rooting for a Hwoarang
True I wanted either him or Ranchu to win sooo bad
Edge's Hwoarang had the protagonist energy of a anime main character that you rooted so bad to win against all odds... It was so satisfying seeing him play! Deserved to win TWT finals.
But Rangchu was cool too!
Yeah I was really rooting for Edge to take the whole thing. Absolutely insane run.
As a hwo main, seeing praise for the character for once instead of the whole comment section hating on him is a sight to behold
Indeed, now lets just hope hwoarang doesn't get unnecessary nerfs for this

So THAT's how it works, tysm!!
Pretty sure that +13 not +14 but yea ur absolutely right besides that

Hwoarang mentioned
🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
The GOAT

Agree. The dude crawled his way up in those 3 days. This also the first time I saw this kind of hoarang playstyle
Thank god Hwoarang is starting to be appreciated by everyone. Soon enough, I can stop playing the character and getting hate mail for just existing lol.
What you said is so spot on. He plays Tekken with hwoarang and def his style of play is much diff than every other top hwo player.
it was so difficult but on that day he saw clearly, everything had come to life
Mans really changed the Title
5:40 Your chat is something else right now
We ain’t seen nuttin’ yet
Man I was more hyped about Edge remontada than the grand final
Man this like my 8th time watching these matches and its still fire.
I want to be like edge. I need his knowledge
Any character that is not dominant in any game is always fan favourite
AND THATS WHY HES THE HWO GOAT!!
For real tho, amazing run by edge
It's very fitting that Korea would know the ins and outs of Hwo
I'm gonna need Phi on actual commentary soon, Blow the wall Freudian and all
yo phidx, just wanted to say thank you for speaking about frame traps in one of your latest streams, that helped me a ton in online battles now i can reliably launch people to do the combos i always trained for :D
Awesome!! Cheers 😁
Hwoarang solid AF in T8. If you don't know how to deal with his basic startup strings your Finished.
I wouldn't call knowledge checks solid though.
Looking at them in between matches, their body language tells me they might be on the spectrum. Not surprising, since they've managed to become the very best. Awesome matches to watch, they're both great players.
That Phi DX announcer energy!!!! So hype!
I see Hwoarang video - I press Like
Same
Rest is my favorite Hwo player. He has that oldschool style but laced with new technology lol
Yeah Edge did so well in that tournament, he eliminated alot of top players

Ah yes, blow the wall
I have seen phidx changed the title 3 time already lmao😂
PhiDx has the sickest intro / outro
Edge and eyemusician are such great t1 representatives.
HWO MENTIONED WOOOOOOOOOOO
Tekken 8 is so fun to watch, can't wait for the 2025 TWT run
Edge my hero fr.
Its so rare to see hwoarangs that actually play good tekken so hes very nice to see
bro phi commentating Evo would be lit
That JJK reference…
Edge Runner
Rangchu (Kuma) was the MVP
I have a question and idk where else to ask😂
So my friend recently got his ps5 and we decided to play private matches but aren't able to for some reason. We both get ready but after 5-10 sec it just resets. We both can play multiplayer separately and with other friends but not between ourselves. Anyone who can help out with this issue?
Let’s go Edge! Like if you’re a real edger!
I struggle with hworang . Any video to help us out . Phidx 😊
imagine edge won
@@kylespartero Ye, shit would hit fan reel hard
Makes sense for a korean to use a taekwondo character
Where can I find someone to train me in Tekken (I’m trash)
Go in player matches and find a god of destruction and follow them around and do their laundry and wax their car. You know Miyagi shit
Yo Phi with the Rolex? XD Nicee
No way man it's just a Citizen 😭
@@PhiDX I thought your parents may be like mine insofar they spent way too much on them and they're going to be heirlooms lol....
@phidx please make more vids on hwoarang he’s my main i’m tryna get better with him
Hwo is the resources
Become a commentator your reaction is crazy funny
I despise Hworang, but man I couldn't help but root for Edge to take the whole tourney I'm ngl
More hwoarang content please!

Whoreang balanced lmao
Do keisuke vs. ulsan
peepoArrive
edge is a better member of T1 than faker
felt bad for the mods man... too many edge jokes
Enough with the title change already 😂
Rangchu better
Never liked Hwoarang since he was in T3
o
edge was the shit
wow i’m early! love u phi!
@PhiDX Claudio defense guide please. the character is pretty annoying.
I didn't know that he was a league of legends player.
Let alone plays with faker😮
Uhhh just same sponsor 😅
@PhiDX oh
From the Lowest to the very Pinnacle of Tekken Hwo will always be a +frame mashfest..That takes the brain of a Potato to mash
Again, here we have someone who knows nothing about Hwoarang. He's one of the hardest characters to play at high rank because of how many weaknesses he has
You're not very smart if you think he's just mashing
You’re a red rank aren’t you?
@@saadlakho5888hwoarang doesnt have any weaknesses
@@saadlakho5888 nonstop +Mashing..Every Hwo..they do not need to know a single matchup..They can mash the exact same way againt every Character
Extremely annoying is more accurate. 😵💫
