5:08 When AK Spaced right outside the Getup Kick Range and just stood there. I knew his ass was gonna win 😭 That shit was *MENACING* bruh. How you gonna stand right in front of Arslan like that!?!?
Such an emotional win. You could see the elation. From being 2nd place tournament after tournament… he finally jumped that hurdle. Such a tear jerker. Such a deserved win!! Thank you Kwiss for covering this
@@andy-xz2ukI love arslan ash because he is so good but you fans are so toxic, he loss he accepted it with all his heart but you fans are so toxic, don't be little us Pinoy's because we know your country is poorer than us
It's nice to see someone else win, especially someone like AK who's been denied 1st place for so long. It's nothing personal against Arslan, it's just that the guy is like the Lewis Hamilton or Michael Schumacher of Tekken. He's won so many times at such a consistent pace that everytime someone else has a chance you just think "c'mon man, leave something for the rest".
i feel like AK finally conquer the ghost that's been hunting him since evo japan 2019... i was watching this set at work and popping off to see that AK finally did it,, he truly deserve it man....
I was his first win in pools. Playing against him for those six rounds literally caused me to completely change the way I think about this game. AK is absolutely insane. It's crazy to think that there were people out there who believed that he wasn't strong in Tekken 8.
K Wiss pointed out that AK was delaying his slide timing so much in that set because Arslan was fuzzy ducking a lot and punishing it, AK barely did it on immediate timing during that entire set…until when he had to do it when it mattered the most. In the very last interaction when AK tried to fool Arslan with a low heat smash by going into sneak stance but did the sneak cancel mid heat smash instead, Arslan didn’t take the bait and stayed standing but AK still had the advantage and went for one final gamble while in sneak stance: He went with the mid hitting sneak 1+2 overhead and with Arslan getting hit with so many snk cancel ws 1 CH gut punches, he just chooses to backdash and block mid and then wait his turn again but AK finally did the slide on immediate timing after so much conditioning and it paid off. Absolute masterclass of a match by both competitors.
Combo Breaker 2024 is going down as an all time classic event not just for USA but in Tekken History. Goatlan Ash Knee The Legend Joey Fury Farzeen JD and AK. Man. This will go down in history. Wow what a great event. To me, AK played how Tekken 8 was meant to be played And congratulations on being in the Top 20 (12th) Making us Hwoarang players proud brother
@@ELFUICHE I know he didn’t participate that’s what I’m talking about the tekken score for the overall players. I just said everything in a big azz paragraph
Arslan was straight racked after that. AK went ham. Everyone in top 8 played fantastic Tekken. What blows my mind though is people still discrediting Knee when he finished 5th out of 1600. Its like if hes not first hes washed. Scrubs... 🤦
@@nrostova5606 chanel did disclose knee was having age related brain/memory issues from what i've seen. i think he mentioned that in his afreeca stream
@@yamoonie age related? He's only 38. I don't believe this. Hm you said Chanel said this then you said you think he said it. I think you're the one having issues my friend. If this was said it was Chanel being fecitious.
@@yamoonie During Top 8, Knee did play like my grandma during her 8 pm sleep time lol. Knee's play style was so much more active during the pool, it look like he auto pilot Tekken 7 play style during Top 8, he probably should play Feng at that point.
Because they don't play the game. They pretend the streamer is their acceptable substitute for experience. They don't get the nuance and nuanced history that the streamer knows but don't share to the audience.
Over seas players are dealing with 13 to 14 hour jet leg. People don’t see big deal over this but it’s tough to get acclimated to new time zone. Give all over seas players props. And this will go for same for US and Europe players who come to Asia to play.
People saying Knee and Arslan or any other Tekken legend are "washed" are just attention seeking jealous haters. If we were still playing TK7 and they stop getting to top 16s in major tourneys, then maybe they are washed. But Tekken 8 is new and different. It is a big "meta" change.
No need to compare, man. Both were amazing and coincidentally the underdogs won. UMA was unsponsored, spent his personal money to make it to the event, the Taiwan FGC wasn't even cheering for him until he made top 8. Then we have AK who turned pro at 13 when he came in 3rd in Tekken Global for Tekken Tag 2, where JDCR placed 2nd, and for the last 5 years, kept placing 2nd and one even against Arslan during Evo Japan 2019. It was gratifying for both. No one really believed in UMA now he has sponsors wanting him on their team and AK finally breaking the 2nd place curse and got his revenge win against Arslan.
AK is the only shaheen player I know that makes Shaheen looks really fun to play. His slide transitions and optimized combos in every situation makes shaheen looks so appealing to play. I mean Lowhigh Is still one of the GOAT shaheen players of course.
"He's won in every single continent." Hmm, wasn't aware there had been Tekken tournaments in Antarctica. That's a joke, I know what K-Wiss meant. It's fitting that AK finished it with a slide. I was expecting Arslan to win, but both guys played out of their minds, outside of some mistakes here and there. I don't care what anyone says, high level is still amazing to watch.
After all that happened in his PBE org he still carried their banner. So to those who don't know PBE(Playbook Esport) they like dissolve because they cant pay anyone in the org, AWOL the owner has a huge debt to the players and the coaches. AK is even paying the salary of their PUBG Mobile team because they were the champion team. AK is the goat he is supporting the org with his own money.
People love underdogs, especially if it's from a smaller region with not much success. Arslan + Pakistan will win many more tournaments in the future. :)
I don’t know what’s wrong with the people over there. Is that pure hatred toward Arslan? come on, If Arslan wins for the 10th time he deserve it. We came to watch and enjoy the tournament. Why acting so offensive against him. It’s everyones choice to support whoever he likes but without being offensive.
I don't even know why you Arslan/Pakistani fans are so insecure about this. They don't hate Arslan, but they love rooting for the underdog. Like, everyone was just as loud and just as against Knee when they were cheering for Anakin in Combo Breaker 2019, for example, and when Lil Majin fought JDCR in Evo 2018. Almost NO ONE was cheering for JDCR in this fight, and EVEN the commentators were on Lil Majin's side.
It's the Spirit of the Americana. They love winners, but they love underdog stories more. And they love fallen hero stories the best. A story with all three? This is sugar to them.
I'm just so proud of AK, well, our country rarely even supports him, thats the downside. But king never gave up, He had the curse of 2nd place. And now he destroyed it, so proud of AK.
5:08 When AK Spaced right outside the Getup Kick Range and just stood there. I knew his ass was gonna win 😭 That shit was *MENACING* bruh. How you gonna stand right in front of Arslan like that!?!?
Look like a movie. Great quick strategy
Hey bro nice to see you here
Yeah that was sick.
I dare you to whiff
And he beat him with Perfect 😅

He inspires me to keep using Shaheen honestly 👀

100%
Dfq u mean deserve
Earned is the ryt word

Curse of second placer. But now he started to believe.
16:16 Love Michael Murray Reactioin lol Basically all of us watching this. AK was on fire the whole tourney, styling on everyone since pools 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Meanwhile... Harada with the gold claps. 😅
It wasn't that long ago that AK was being hailed as an up and coming prodigy from SEA. . . congrats to him .
Man it was 10 years ago when he was about 13 though lmao. The win is a long time coming, Tekken 7 is a good game for his playstyle
@@leojones1964 i think he started intl competitions in 6. The nostalgia just gets to me.

9:12, with the side walks. So cold 😤
One of the most hype finals so far!!!!
This was some of the best T8 play I’ve seen yet. Still adjusting to game, but this was really exciting to watch
6:05 drinking battle competition.. crowd said, H20 H20 H20...haha
AK has been playing for years you'd think he's old. He's onky 23 years old and has been playing for like a decade.
hes playing since 12
so whatt pignoise?
He started younger. We were figthing him during arcade days. I think he was 6yo and already beating good tekken players way back in tekken 6
@@andy-xz2uk this hater is so bitter 😂😂
@@elfaranelasul6886He said he started playing tekken when he was only 4 years old in one of his interview. Then started joining tournaments at 12
18:58 AK's slides are so fucking clean and confusing
This is peak tekken. They are playing some real ass tekken man.
This legit might be the greatest tekken gf I've ever witnessed
A new era indeed! Congratulations to AK!
new era?😂😂😂😂
8:22 a 37 second perfect is insane. that is such a long time to not take any real damage.
Arslan was straight racked after that. AK went ham.
Everyone in top 8 played fantastic Tekken.
What blows my mind though is people still discrediting Knee when he finished 5th out of 1600. Its like if hes not first hes washed. Scrubs... 🤦

Was great to watch😁 I'm from London UK so when I saw Free U comments I felt a way. Sending energy for the next big Tournament all the best!
Despite me wanting to see Arslan win, big props to AK that shit was insane I'm happy for him
Also why does his chat always have dogshit takes lmaooo
Because they don't play the game. They pretend the streamer is their acceptable substitute for experience. They don't get the nuance and nuanced history that the streamer knows but don't share to the audience.
yep it's his first major win, placed 2nd also in SEA games against Book.
Glad to see my main Shaheen Wins the tourney! Quite surprised it's not Lowhigh but AK though, huge props to him!!
I love seeing people come up hell yea
AK is having a Good Breakfast right now❤
midway to this video i forgot if its recorded or live and i started rooting for arslan again
the mf who said it was one sided T_T
Dis set was CRAZY HYPE 😭😭😭
Congrats to both of You,,what a show..
K-Wiss goes straight into K-Wise
14:00 most insane kiddish low from AK. I haven't seen anything only a low hit in the whole game.
What was the crowd chanting at the end?
Good Ass Tekken
‘Good ass tekken!’
GOOD ASS TEKKEN!

Just give knee and arsalan some time and they will be back on track
That was some good ass Tekken! Random question, what are your thoughts on Bruce coming back to Tekken 8?
Great intense fight!
it is the most hype, more hype than sf6
Let’s not put two bad bitches against each other, SF6 is doing great as well and I’m happy to see it
