I'm honest, I follow Rip since Tekken 6 days and he was an inspiration for me and if I'm loving Law more and more, it's because of him also!
And the fact that was facing a person like Ryan Hart, for me was on of the best clash between giants of all time! Ggs to everyone and thank you Ryan for your dedication and love for the fighting community!

The people throwing Rip under the bus for this are super wack and you can tell when Rip and Ryan Hart talk to each other on here and on ThatBlastedSalami's Wavedash podcast that there's nothing but respect between the two competitors.
Rip is just a shit-talker for fun, but like he said he was never invested in it, he never meant any of it personally. I think Ryan Hart put it best when this was really a community-driven fight and that it was to put on a show for the Tekken fans and community.
If anyone thinks it's about any beef, they're dumb.

Love how long you two have been character loyalists, while I have respect for players who can jump around so easily to new characters I like being able to see the players through their character choice.

Hi Ryan! It's really hard to find some old tekken tournament videos from 98' or older. Do you have a full movie from the Official TK3 World Championship (there's only a few seconds here (3:16). You also mentioned about official tk2 tournament. Can you share with this finals with us? I'm guessing I'm not the only person who would love to see this :).

I remember watching this matchup and still this day...I say Ryan threw the first game he lost just so r.i.p didnt feel bad. Because he was getting absolutely obliterated.
