He would have been eaten alive as he did in the first match of top 8. He was lucky that Atif was desperate for his first big win, that’s why he had few moments 😊
Kaz is not that bad as TMM complaining about all the time. The top tier characters in TMM's tier list hardly win any tournament or place top 8. You know his tier list is only for lower level tekken players.
Keisuke definitely gained lots of new fans after his performance in this tournament, very entertaining play style and he seems like a funny guy with him wavedashing to the ring and laughing after winning by spamming Kazuya’s 1+4 lol Congrats to Atif!
Mental strength of atif and arsalan is amazing, other players maybe equally good in skills but mental toughness is all that counts in collecting trophies
God bless Keisuke for going all the way to the final game, last round and then throwing, ensuring us those juicy Kazuya ~~fixes~~ buffs on the next patch, the rest is up to you now Murray Maintaining the Agenda, is the Top Priority
Being here for this set was fucking crazy. The final in general lol. That combo drop at the end had us all depressed 🥲 but god damn I wanna see this Kazuya more. Good ass tekken
@@mkbb91 biased crowd? my guy people can cheer for whoever they want, the fact is Keisuke's Kaz was enjoyable and refreshing to watch. Bro stole the show
@Trinioutsider34 yea but it was over the top, they even acknowledged it by nerfing the aggressive nature of the game to make sure there's more counter play. There was way too many homing attacks which are dumb af, when it's tekkan and it's meant to be tactical/counter play.
@@danielelia2256 it's the tracking on it. It's the same with laws nunchucks. They both need track buffs for the tornado or a new tornado move that'll always be reliable.
Best match I've watched in a while, great action, great tense moments, the best Steve and Rip commentary I've heard recently, great crowd. Respect for CEO organization. 🙌
dragunov literally drops any 4 4 combo while slightly off axis. Atif here always had to quick sidestep df1 after sway1 or it completely drops. Stop being dumb
People don't usually give Atif's defense enough credit. His movement and reaction speed are even more cracked than Arslan's when he's playing at the top of his form. People see him being aggressive and all, but from my perspective Atif wins mainly when his defense is working. Case in point, his ability to punish electrics, df+2s, and combo drop with the maximum level of dmg possible were the reason why he won this match. His level of aggression is just a facade.
I love the playing style of Atif and most of the Pakistani players they are so aggressive and just keeps on attacking you oh yeah congratulations to all the players in CEO 2024 😊
After watching this I love the fact that Kazuya has made it to a Grand Finals :D. Alas, this also showed me once again that they didn’t buff the hitbox of df1 enough :(
Take it as it is. The majority will always cheer for the underdog. Especially since Atif is using a very strong character the underdog narrative for Keisuke is pushed even harder.
Kazuya is almost perfect as he is. Can we just adjust some things to make combos, even off axis situations, a little more consistent? Kazuya dropped combos in round 2 and round 5 were heartbreaking…
@@iris089 he did do the more optimal combos tho, as u can see he didn't do much sneak cancel into 3,1 into another sneak when off axis. He just goes for the tornado after fcdf1,4
@@Kaizer_Ulysses the point is, why demand it in 1 character yet other characters don't need it. That's why these kind of games should be balanced especially Tekken since it's a 3D game.

@@atif.m9065 I agree some of the time rage art can be cheap, but it’s a part of the game and Atif has to be aware of it at all times. Regardless of rage art, he made it to top 2. Any player can rage art man. He’s still a great player
As a Kazuya player that two drops were shocking to watch...like i didn't even think that was such easy to drop that before, two times in row...if a super strong player like Keisuke did that wrong that means we Kazuya players are beasts 🦁 Congratulation Atif Butt and Keisuke really well played 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
For anyone wondering why this dropped, it's because doing the WS1+2 route on an off axis WS2 requires a microdash there that Keisuke either wasn't aware of or didn't do. Had he went for CD1+2 on the WS2 there, he wouldn't have dropped the combo but that is a rather new route. A couple of Kazuya combos are like this where you need a microdash to insure 100% consistency incase the tiny chance it drops. At least his DF1 isn't as bad as it was pre buffs. 😅
@@chopsuey004 Not true , 1.04 patch fucked up drag 4,4 combo off axis even with microstep 1.05 thankfully fixed it. I think keisuke nerves betrayed him and maybe forgot
Seeing Kazuya in a finals... This just lifted Tekken 8 up. Keisuke played SO good damn. I know Atif won but as a Dragunov main myself after watching that set I kinda think Keisuke is the better player. Drag is just so much easier and has so many options with his pressure. Atif really is good at maintaining ruthless aggression with small little timing mix-ups. He caught Keisuke with the 1,2,1 so many times.
as a drag main i had exact same thought watching Keisuke gameplay just seem more ''honest'' whatever that means,i to tekken king with drag and im only just an above average player very oppressive but it is what it is ! i did want Keisuke to win
Atif didnt drop a match and already dominated keisuke 2-0 earlier in the tournament but you still get these comments lol. Your east Asian daddy just isn't as good unfortunately mate
15:22 keisuke had the win. 15:23 He either didn't choose the correct combo or the game showed a Bug. But keisuke was definitely going to win there using the heat.
@atif.m9065 rage art is part of the game. Also, your name is atif stop the riding, bro. The only reason atif won is because Kazyua got buggy combos that drop for no reason
@@galihrusyadie1629 lol you're too late to realize the fact that legends like Knee and others are visiting lahore for training more often, so by saying "Still long years to go" sound like you're outdated from the tekken scene

Yes congratulations from Pakistan 🇵🇰💗 good run

How is he "proving" that?
