- Welcome retired Mixed Martial Artist RJ Clifford and what better introduction than to get him to react to one of the best fighting games, Tekken 7! This MMA Expert talks about the realism of the moves used throughout the game from classic characters like Steve, Josie, and Kuma and how accurate/ effective they can be in a fight. What did you think of RJ’s debut?
Tekken 7 is the ninth game overall and the seventh main installment in the Tekken series. Taking place shortly after Tekken 6, the plot centers on Heihachi Mishima and his son Kazuya as they prepare for their final showdown. There are various new elements included in this game, such as Rage Arts and the Power Crush mechanic, which makes it more user-friendly than previous games in the series.

Glad he's actually breaking it down while being into the moves and not just pushing them to the side as "fake"
I really like this channel's ability to find experts who aren't just going to dump all over the games for not being realistic. Like the doctor who reacts to mortal kombat fatalities. He laughs about how crazy they can get and then gives out really interesting medical and anatomy facts.
@@Richard-Espanol I'm so glad the era of hyper serious youtube experts is passing.
Facts. We know Tekken has some hokey BS (i.e. Mishima hellsweeps) You don't need to tell us that. Tell us how the realistic stuff they base the fighting styles on works.
@@HoodWeegee lol hokey
@@HoodWeegee Search for Eric Jacobus. He recreates tekken moves in real life. Dont expect lasers and electricity to actually appear though. But atleast you can see him juggling a dummy.
I love how he explains every moves rather than rants about how the game is fake.
Because is more interesting, explaining the moves. Not just sayin "ah yes, this is fake" and move on.
Well... it helps that for the most part Tekken's martial arts has been more grounded in realism than Mortal Kombat or even Street Fighter. You're not gonna find any water benders (Rain), blood benders (Skarlet), air benders (Fujin), lightning benders (Raiden), earth benders (Tremor), ice benders (Sub Zero and Frost), necromancers (Quan Chi), shapeshifting sorcerors (Shang Tsung), or blind telekinetic swordsmen (Kenshi) in Tekken! Although you _will_ find cyborgs, robots, and grizzly bears (oh my). Still, overall, there's not nearly as much supernatural / nonhuman stuff as there is in MK.
@@SpearM3064 I mean street fighter and Mortal kombat are not meant to be realistic in the first place as much I love Tekken series not all people want realism
@@joandarc441 That's true. I was only pointing out that the reason RJ is able to break down the moves the way he does, is largely because Tekken is more realistic. I wasn't criticizing Street Fighter OR Mortal Kombat. I own most of those (the ones that were released on PC, anyway).
@@SpearM3064 yah I know I play any fighting game tbh not really a hardcore fanboy of any those franshise
"Theres no way Kuma is gonna get any real life references"
"Yeah we got actual footage of a baby Kuma fighting a lightweight mma fighter as a kid"
😂 🤣
I've known of Khabib for a while so it's wild to consider how people who don't follow MMA would think about him, lol
@@kovenmaitreya7184 haha
And he won against the bear what the fuck lmao.
@@flipperflapper6682 I don't think the bear knew what was going on
Edit. and he didn't win
"Steve's coach is doing backflips outside the octagon right now" - my sides are exploding 🤣🤣
Coach: "That's it champ! Just like we practiced, keep up the pace!"
Steve: **does triple hooks and a right straight combos repeatedly*
Coach: **backflips outside the ring in sheer happiness*
Where did they even find a whole MMA fighter??!?
Fr 😂
At Sirius XM radio, from what he told us.😂
Anderson Silva was a huge Tekken fan. Said he even based some of his moves from the game
@@somedopemojo43 man’s made being a weeb cool
They had a UFC fighter here a while back. Unfortunately, they showed her the dumbest gameplay possible. This video is way better though, so they definitely took note of that, good stuff. Personally, I wish they'd show him some pro gameplay so he could see things like distance management and feigns,
He understands that it's a game and talks about the real life counter part
Yes I love it to
Yez! Love how you put it!
@@gilangignasraharjo6138 Caue people would just complain about how it shouldn't be done in video game if it's not real life
Him "Id invest in a couple more sports bras"
Tekken: *I paid for jiggle physics. Amma use jiggle physics.*
*Dead or Alive is sweating in the background*
@@chaoscontroller316 Xtreme Beach Volleyball is where it's at.
that is what i call Merchandising. making sales. 😉
"Steve. The fine people at Tekken got creative with their names."
That's hilarious given that Steve's name was originally gonna be Dean Earwicker.
And completely ignores Bryan and Paul which are also common Western names. Steve is obv British but Steve is still a common name in English speaking countries so I’m counting it. At least it’s better then Earwicker😹
This is INCREIBLY interesting.
I'd absolutely be down for listening to RJ talk about similar topics more.
kooooopa
Just you wait and see 👀
Totally agreed, we need video of him going through all roster of Tekken 3 or even better Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and TTG2 analysis can even be a small series
@@Gamology Can you get him to react to mortal kombat fights or something like that?
I'm glad he's looking at the moves and not the effects they have in game, usually the ppl on here would be like "nice uppercut but idk whats the deal here with the dude flying 7 feet into the air, super unrealistic"
He also said many times that doing the more flashy shit will give you a big popularity boost.
@@randalica92 That's his very diplomatic way of saying "this doesn't work"
@@davidy22 you'll like like an idiot if it doesn't work but you'll get one hell of a following if it does. It's a gamble for publicity.
@@randalica92 Pretty much, see this sometimes where someone goes for a kick ass super dangerous move. Either everyone laughs their ass off or you pulled it off and everyone goes nuts
@@XonixDerps WWE in a nutshell.
"If I were Josie, I would invest in more sports bras. Kinda going everywhere." lol, this guy here.
I love his commentary, btw. I think he understands that this is a video game so some of the designs are made as concessions to gameplay, so he focuses on the aspects of the game that actually looks good.
Jiggle physics though!
@@mrslinkydragon9910
Yep,can't let that go to waste .
That's the best part about Josie
I wonder if Josie is popular in Japan or the Philippines?
She probably let's them bounce to throw off her opponent...the best kind of distraction
"King looks like a mascot for some cryptocurrency that Elon musk would invest in"
They did my boy dirty
Love that guy, hope we will see him more in the future. There's still many moves in Tekken 7 to look at.
Agreed lot more fighters in this game. Kazuya, Jin, Law, Leroy, Dragunov, Hwoarang, Lidia, Kazumi... Lot's more fighters I'd like to see him react to.
Kinda wish that they showed Bryan's Gatling Rush.
@@TheBepis1309 Me too, I also would like to see more grabs, especially Dragunov's command throws
king's chain throw
Keep your eyes peeled for potential future content
This man is giving free coaching lesson that people pay big bucks for.
Yeah men, i'm ready to start a fight in the street 😂
ready to beat the crap out of people
I am ready to fight god
Lmao. We in there.
@Y'all Lame I hope you stated your real address because you're gonna need a lot of money for all the things you have to pay. Lol
12:26 Josie's counter here is an Ancient Muay Thai move from Muay Boran called "Yan Erawan". It's a move that dodges forward-moving strikes to your face while kneeing the opponent in the sternum. Been an MMA fighter for 5 years while studying a lot Muay Thai. This move requires a TON of flexibility and is not normally taught because of the danger for both fighters.
17:48 When he mentioned about "your opponent taking a selfie with you" it immediately reminded me of Miharu in Tekken Tag 2 because... that is exactly what she did, lol.
Or Cassie Cage
Tekken Tag 2 was an underrated gem! I'm still pissed that it didn't get the attention it deserved because it released without much attention and at the end of the PS3's life cycle.
TTT2 is still my favorite game in the series, only toppled by Tekken 2 for nostalgia for lore- and musical reasons.
Heck, I'd even be perfectly happy with a simple TTT2 port for the PS5 while we are waiting for Tekken 8.
I loved this experts react, he is really into the moves in real life and he knows its a game so he doesnt complain about irreal stuff
a lot of experts in this day an age grew up playing these king of video games. So really, they are fans of the games themselves and understand it can't be too realistic since it is a game. But can easily understand the real world counter part.
Can't say the same for MMA fanboys sometimes lol
Irreal
Gamology can easily make 5-10 videos on Tekken alone . And the mma fighter they brought is excellent .
AGREED. MAKE MORE TEKKEN VIDS PLEASE!!
Yo a tekken experts react?! This is awesome. RJ knows his stuff!
I typically enjoy Experts React, but this is definitely my most enjoyable watch of the series by far. RJ did an excellent job breaking down the mechanics of the moves on display, as well as any practical application they would conceivably have in the event of a real fight.
I also think it would be cool to have a kung-fu expert on board to react to certain characters' movesets, especially Lei and Xiaoyu, for example.
When he started talking about Muay Thai being called "The Art of Eight Limbs" just remembered how Lethwei is called "The Art of Nine Limbs" and why both are fucking terrifying.
@Trump Loompa ?
For clarification, the ninth limb is the *head*
@@XVINutkabob And that is why you never want to get headbutted by a Lethwei practitioner, they are really good at it.

@@en-men-lu-ana6870 are letwhei lightweights?
Getting a professional to talk about the realism behind things in games is so much better than pros saying how fake something is. Definitely more engaging, keep this kind of content coming.
I really appreciated Mr. Clifford's analysis of the various moves and fighting styles. He was respectful of all of them. As others have pointed out on this thread, he didn't just dismiss moves as being "fake" and broke down either the moves themselves or their real life counterparts. Additionally, his technical breakdown was solid in my opinion. He really made concepts such as power, speed, angles, torque, counters, takedowns, submissions, and more accessible to the lay person without speaking down to folks. Plus, some of the stuff that he said was pretty dang funny. This continues to be an awesome channel that has a lot of interesting and entertaining guests. Keep up the great work!
One of the things that I love about this video is the terms that he uses that sound so natural for him. "throwing knees like rain" "end up with someone's teeth in your sole" he talks so comfortably about such a violent world, he truly must be an expert in that field
Really liked RJ hopefully he'll be back breaking down more fighting games perhaps with Gemma or Noah or Yoshi?
yeah he was very accpecting of everything and work it well with what he know
That would be awesome.
Yes yes yes
What a team up!
@@Gamology you could have them recreate parts of t7.
As a Bryan main, i'd like to express my delight that his fighting style was broken down and explained. Would love to see Dragunov in the next video
Wow a Bryan main like me 🥲
@@gunhouse8322 Bryan's fury rules
I honestly didn't even think Bryan used any fighting kind of fighting style and was just kind of a brawler like Miguel
@@lucas_lel917 yea cos u dunno when Bryan started
Yooo, Dragunov FUCKS
For those unaware, Marduk's listed fighting style isn't MMA, but something else that was a precursor to what MMA was, and it stemmed from a lot of Brazilian tourneys called "Vale Tudo", which is an anything-goes style of fighting.
Oooooooh, cool
I wonder if Clifford was aware of Vale Tudo.
Love this guy's energy, also nice to see that he actually breacks down the fight instead of just saying "this is so unrealistic"
Experts never failed to amaze me every time, and it’s a entertaining one as this guy breaks down the moves in all of the fighters instead of ranting so much, now this is a breakdown.
Now this is an “Expert”, I really like and enjoy.
Why did you put expert in quotations?
@@_kishken_1595 well experts are supposed to be experts in a particular field.
@@lenardregencia if you watch UFC PPV weigh in show, you’ll see RJ alongside DC, Laura Sanko and sometimes Din Thomas
@@lenardregencia I thought you were making a tekken rank joke
@@avallach666 Steven Segal is a clown.
I was so hoping he would react to the full King grab chain combo but either way this was fantastic to watch!
Honestly with Tekken’s insane move-set and complexity for each character you could really make an individual video for each character. That’s something I would love to see!
Never heard of RJ Clifford before, but his attitude towards videogames and how he sees that interpretation for real moves, it's just great. Please tell him that he does a great job; and invite him more often to make more videos! Hands off, one of the best Gameology clips that I had watched. 👏🏼
This guy is amazing, he's funny, informative and hes so charismatic. I would definitely want to see more of him, even with some of the stunt guys.
Aww they didn't even get into King's chain throws. I hope he comes back and see's more Tekken moves, especially Lidia and Leroy! Their animation's are so beautiful.
Yeah, I'm shocked and disappointed they didn't display Rolling Death Cradle. I get these were supposed to be "somewhat" realistic moves on display, but that's a reaction I wanna see.
@@TheCabIe whoever was playing probably couldn't pull them off. Despite being a decent King player, I can't do it myself
Eddie is cool too
@@KyrusDark rdc : CD 1+4, 21charge , 2+3,3+4 mash charge you're welcome
I love that there are these conditioning moves like what we express in fighting games. Threatening areas to force them to uncover areas they would normally already be covering, throwing out attacks that force the opponent to consider those options, and using status conditions such as stamina drain, bleed, and blind.
It's actually incredible how well Tekken executed these moves too. It's cool because they've always cared about this kind of thing, and seeing this brings validation for this legendary series.
Thanks for bringing these worlds together. Instant sub.
I absolutely love how you guys set up these fights so that the next character in line for discussion is getting smacked around by the current character. Amazingly subtle detail and great commentary from the dude too!
I love how he’s not dissing pro wrestling and giving it a modicum of respect, don’t see that often with breakdown vids with mma fighters, got my respect ✌️
"There's no rules, only suggestions." This man is gold. 😂😂😂
Love this guy, he knows that games overexaggerate things to make them fun but just goes straight into the brass tacks without dismissing things outright.
I think everyone here would love to see more of him!
Please do a part 2 with characters like Jin, Heihachi, Hwoarang etc. I'd love to see what he thinks of their fighting styles!
This was great, maybe he can take a gander at yakuza next.
YES YAKUZA NEXT
Well pretty much everything done in Yakuza was legal in PRIDE at some time do yeah. I expect a reference to the Bas Rutten bar fight guide.
Heck yeah Yakuza is Probably my favorite saga
@@starman6468 also tons of fanservice for the ladies, especially with the introduction of Akiyama in 4.
You guys find awesome people for your videos! Really enjoyed his commentary and sharing his knowledge.
Edit: a kazushi Sakuraba reference?? This guy knows his shit lol
Sakuraba is LEGENDARY!
It was a Mongolian chop that Sakuraba used, but yeah.
I ran into this accidentally but I enjoyed this immensely. Love how light-hearted the bear part was since I'm a Kuma main and the details on Steve since he's my close second used to be my first.
Thank you for showing me why King has been my favorite Tekken character since I was a kid. Such a badass
Me too! Awesome fighter who helps orphans too! King could mess your opponent right up.
Would be cool if some of these experts reacted to moves in Godhand (PS2). A lot of varied moves from more realistic to only seen in choreography to fantasy.
God Hand deserves recognition for sure
Agreed the move is realistic for
A ps2 game
Well maybe some of them don't
THis guy did a fantastic breakdown of the moves!
There are still many characters that he could look at in Tekken 7, so I hope we see another episode!
Finally! As a Tekken fan, I've been waiting for Tekken to be covered. Thanks for this! This dude is one of the best guests you've had on the show. Provided amazing insight to the moves and even clothing
Alright, so a lot of these are pro-wrestling moves, and as a pro-wrestling nerd, I gotta chip in where he mentions them as being stuff like throws or slams with the real names:
4:05 - This is a running version of an inverted powerbomb/dominator, as made famous by Farooq and Bobby Lashley. This one has a bit on the end where they jump forward onto the opponent and stand up like with a Steamroller.
14:15 - This is an Irish Whip but instead of letting go, King holds onto Marduk, putting him back-facing. The move that RJ refers to as a "Twister" is in wrestling terms called an Abdominal Stretch, which is a very old school submission.
14:58 - Tornado DDT.
15:43 - Olympic Slam/Angle Slam, popularised by Kurt Angle.
16:49 - That's a Reverse Gory Special. The unmodified version was created by Gory Guerrero, father of Eddie Guerrero and Uncle of Chavo Guerrero. Both used this version a few times.
16:56 - This is an Irish Whip where King hangs on and brings them back in for a Lariat. JBL used a version of this he'd call the Clothesline From Hell.
4:05 I think is more of a crucifix powerbomb
16:49 That's a Kudo Driver that's was innovated by Megumi Kudo. While yes it is a modified Inverted Gory Bomb by the Guerreros, Megumi is given credit for the move while Hurricane Helms popularized and created the name The Verebreaker.
16:56 I think it might be a reference to Okada's Rainmaker aka Ripcord Lariat. I know that this game had tie in with NJPW so I think they're referencing Japanese wrestlers.
@@MagicalLobsterHand Yeah I could see the first actually because he hooks their arms. You're probably right on the second - I don't know my Japanese wrestling too well. The Rainmaker is actually in the game as a special Rage Art that King can do if you wear his Okada-themed outfit. I recommend looking it up, it's pretty great. Has the dollar bills and everything.
I listen to this guy's show he really hates Pro wrestling so he probably won't correct it for next time haha
Abdominal Stretch is called a Twister in MMA. He's not a wrestler, he's an MMA fighter th-cam.com/video/Vdh_HfNLS70/w-d-xo.html UFC clip of the move th-cam.com/video/UN_SC0ybh_o/w-d-xo.html
Happy he's mentioning other fighters like Anderson Silva and Ben Henderson. More please. Want to see his opinion of Forrest and Eddy.
I agree. Don't mess with a TIE Fighter
I see what you did there xdd lol. almost as funny as expert's joke about Fankumran's name
I scrolled to find this joke
King's twister was a pro-wrestling hold called an abdominal stretch. It's a very standard pro-wrestling submission hold, not to be confused with the much more painful looking octopus stretch. A lot of pro-wrestling moves are kind of developed from real submissions, just watered down so that nobody actually gets hurt.
Can't believe they didn't show off a multi-throw combo from King to show RJ that even after a high amplitude he can absolutely have full control over his oppenent
Man I love RJ! I definitely want to see more of him, would love to see him comment on Street Fighter, Sleeping Dogs, maybe the Arkham series. Trying to think of other games where MMA style of fighting is included?
Would love to see him on Sleeping Dogs. That game is the best open world fighting game I've ever played. Can't believe there isn't 2 yet.
wait street fighter? lol
@@blues05 unpopular opinion: I think it's better than GTA V.
@@muhammadihsan4896 yeah like characters like Sagat, Alex, Cody, all have MMA style fighting.
Probably Def Jam. There's not a lot of fighting/brawler games that are pretty technical with their moves. Most of the time it's your standard knuckle to the face/legs to the nuts kind of fighting.
If you wanna stretch it out, you can probably count Godhand since it's the most technical beat-em-up I've ever played.
I love this guy, his commentary is awesome which makes sense
Love his explanation, jokes and his enthusiasm of hopefully seeing the moves in real fights. Bring him in more please
When he's available again he should see Howrang, the Mishimas/Jin, and Lidia
This guy's a hell-of-a commentator! I love it! You feel the hype with this guy! So much fun!
I love the fact that they even put Kuma in the list and the guest just gave a very serious breakdown of it as well~! awesome work Gamology on finding this guys and bringing us an entertaining video as usual~!
Please do Jin, Dragunov, Leroy, Lidia, Law, Feng Wei, Armour King, Nina and Xiaoyu next please!
They honestly should do all of them. There's a lot more to break down, including the ones shown here already. Tekken alone could easily last them a year's worth of videos, IMO.
@@Revoltine plus with the DLC and kunimitsu returning that'll be so much
I play Fahkumram's segment over and over. As someone who is a practitioner of the art, he is very enjoyable to listen to. Shoutout to his knowledge in the other arts as well!
I’m not even a fighter but I know a Muay Thai fighter when I see one, their stances are very distinct
This is one of my favorites, I want to see him with other games too!!
This guy should start a TH-cam channel. Jus watching him talk about ufc or any fighting games would be very entertaining.
This type of content is what made me subscribe. Love how into it he is, giving so much information and just seeming to enjoy talking about mma
I could listen to him all day talking about the moves and their uses in different martial arts. Fantastic react commentary.
Thank you for choosing martial arts inspired characters. I would love to see another episode where he reacts to Jin, Lidia, Hwoarang, Asuka, Nina, Lee and Lei.
And Dragunouv.
And law
Miguel and Leo too.
This actually makes more sense! Even the army dudes specialise in TACTICAL COMBAT but don't talk alot about HAND TO HAND. The martial artists only talk about the technique and the performance part of it. THIS IS MORE PRACTICAL.
The fuk you talking about
Because Spec ops mostly use rifles, they only get in hands when they black on Ammo or only for stealth reasons, its more practical and effective for them to use rifles rather than hands, and its more practical for them. They know how to use and Manipulate their rifles, not discrediting them of their Hand to hand combat training, but their first resort is their guns and its what they say. For a military guy on a mission, they have a weapon that they manipulate/use at situations, even they explained a stand point of combat, but then again combat has a lot of stand points and army soldiers and Martial artists experience only a side or more, MMA fighter is however a Stand point of combat on its own, I don't know about how you mean about the martial artists, cause you clearly didnt watch them all, if you pay attention, they did talk about how you would be able to do stuff as well. In tactical Hand to hand combat. This shows you dont really pay that much attention to detail.
@@kasrathekiller9619 Yeah I get that with the army. The stunt performers does give good points about techniques, they may have sparred but I'm not sure they had real combat experience. MMA fighters on the other hand are fighters they can tell you more about how that would possibly work (even with this exemplified combats) they can make a little sense how that can play out. Like here when talked about the mount, foot work etc
@@kapilthevkanapathipillai6424 You know the martial arts experts have mentioned several times already that they're more on the "theatrical side of martial arts" considering their profession. Besides, good martial artists who do practice the "practical side of martial arts" barely have actual combat experience because every school that teaches them will always tell you to avoid confrontation at all costs :v
@@Revoltine Yeah that's why I said this seems more fitting 😊
This is awesome. Learned alot for fights that i would obviously cower from in the future
Loving this one, as others have said in other vids, would love to see RJs breakdown on the likes of Yakuza! Great stuff.
This was an awesome episode. Loved it.
"If you can do a spinning wheel kick in steel toe boots, you're probably going to end up with some of your opponent's teeth in your sole."
He described how it feels to get launched by an orbital quite well ^^
No Dragunov, sadd. I'd love to see his reaction to his takedowns and Iron Curtain, or just more from this guy, he's great to listen to.
His comedic takes on a lot of these moves are great, all while keeping it realistic and informative. Good job.
Can we get Martial Artists recreate Tekken moves? I'd love to see them attempt some 10 string combos.
Check out Eric Jacobus here on TH-cam. He is a martial artist, stuntman and filmmaker. He does exactly what you are looking for.
Eric Jacobus
He nailed yakuza hellspin kick
I hope this guy does the whole cast!
This basically told me that Namco did their homework when making Tekken characters, although I would have loved to see his reaction to characters like Yoshimitsu, Kunimitsu and Devil Jin
I'm disappointed that none of King's grapple combos got covered. Especially after the comment about Marduk dismounting after throwing only a couple of punches on a take down.
My thoughts exactly. I would have love to hear feedback on rolling death cradle and/or king's bridge.
18:21
I think that's why okizeme, and grappling to an extent, is so strong in Tekken. XD
12:14
Even RJ is taking a _JAB_ at the ridiculous jiggle physics.
He seen that real tech Josie was bringing!
This is a really great episode, the commentator keeps in mind that its a game but still tries to find the references to the moves 10/10 hope to see more of him
This was really cool thanks RJ!
i appriciate these videos on tekken characters! PLEASE DO MORE!
I really want to see a former killer play dead by daylight
💀😂
I wonder how they find former killers and bank robbers
@@chompychest maybe they just go into prison and ask the staff who is the former criminal that about to claim his/her freedom back
Daaaamn
@The Master Baiter that’s a good guess.
We need more of this, hoping there's a part 2 cause this was hella interesting
This guys great! Would love to see more
This has actually been my favorite video game martial arts talk yet. Bring him back!
RJ was so cool. Funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and even throws out trivia on fighters while explaining moves. Please bring him back and maybe get Yoshi, Gemma, and Noah with this guy. Y'all could even do a whole other episode just on Tekken. OR GET HIS PERSPECTIVE ON YAKUZA
I've been waiting so long for reactions of Tekken moves based in reality and even tho we didn't get Gemma for this one I'm very happy
Fun fact to remember about Kuma. He uses the same karate form as Heihachi in the Tekken universe.
Great video, this makes me want a more grounded Tekken-style game without launchers etc. And I agree with other commenters - I love mr. Clifford's approach to the commentary, taking the spirit of what's presented at face value without being caught up in the stylistic exaggeration but still pointing out the most blatantly impractical stuff. Makes me wish the video had covered some more of the less classically trained Tekken fighters though.
By this video, this tells me that he's great at his job of being a announcer
Love how RJ's getting some spotlight! He's also great whenever he has a line or role to do in UFC's Weigh-In Shows!
It’ll be dope if you guys get Uriah Hall on this as well! He said he learned fighting initially by playing Tekken lol
Probably one of the best pro review-type videos ive ever seen...this guys good
"Next we have Fakhumram. Make sure you pronounce that correctly or you're gonna be in trouble"
Tekken community: We never called him that every single time his name comes up. Nope. Never. *walks away*
Please do more of this. I actually really love Tekken. If you do another episode, please have him react to Feng, Dragunov, and Leroy.
I love Gemma and Noah, but RJ offers a perspective from another end of martial arts entirely, which keeps things fresh. A collaboration with all of them would be awesome
I hope you bring him back more often....I love how he broke down everything in simple words.👍👍👍👍
Won me over pretty quick with the Sakuraba reference. Pride never die!
I want this guy to review a Yakuza game , I think he'd be fun to explain some fun wrestling moves there.
Awesome guy!
THIS
YES
I enjoyed this video a lot and the way the guy breaks every move down (also plus points for his slight self-deprecating humor). I learned a lot and appreciated fighting games and fighting in general so much more. More insightful videos like this please!
Always i liked see content like this.
