Reina is insanely cool. I don't think her popularity will die after Heihatchi's return. On the contrary, their interaction in story mode is what we need.
@@Yulz553 She's still one of the most popular, Top 3 I think, I don't see her popularity dropping off, she's one of those characters that are interesting gameplay wise and appeal to a really large audience
Maybe instead of FT2 with FT3 in the finals, it should be FT3, with FT4 in top 32, and then FT5 in quarters and up. Although I worry it'd make events impossible.
Yagami is in the same city as me and I've met him a few times at locals. Nice guy and I'm so happy that Melbourne is being put on the map through players like Yagami and commentators like Brownman. Love our Tekken scene ❤
Me too. I met Ben and we did a FT5. His Reina vs. my Jin and I beat him. Makes me wonder how well I would do if I actually quit my job and did this full time. 😂
Thats what im talking about with Reina, the character is so complex that you will be assured pro players will find new techs and stuff with her, so fun to play and rewarding to learn
@@yellowscarlightningscream8347 Bro idk if you're hardstuck there or if you just repeat whatever dumb shit your favorite streamer whines about when they're getting bodied, but you don't get anywhere near that level of play in green ranks, not even until blue ranks as far as I can tell. If he used green rank flowcharts why can't another pro player read his moves? But keep telling yourself that you are sooo much better buddy.
@@xSpaget Tell me you are dumb without telling me you are dumb. Pro players are used to countering flowcharts to the point that when it's used the pro players are shocked. Same way Reina lows are weak but you keep stand blocking so her lows hit 90% of the time. Go learn to play first without bullshiting and downplaying.
The amount of damage Yagami got in the later games using raiden (ff2) into duck and launch was so insane to see. He had conditioned Chanel to jab him out of sentai so much that Chanel couldn't stop doing it at all. And Yagami would cancel sentai after ff2 everytime and just duck Chanel's jab into launch punish each time INSANE
Very smart to force the mind games against Chanel because neither Alisa nor Zafina have a genetic D+1. Most characters can OS every single option from FF2 sentai with dick jab with Sen 1 power crush being the only option that beats it, so you force Reina to make a hard read. But what’s crazy is, in my head as I’m typing this, I realize that Yagami might be OSing against D+1 when he does FF2 duck since DF will low parry dick jabs. That actually might be a really smart setup idk.
This right here is what finally pushed my opinion on coaching from being neutral into wanting it to be banned. Witnessing Chanel completely unravel in real time as Yagami slowly regains his confidence is such a cool factor in playing long sets. It's not until the final game that Chanel managed to collect himself to finally play on an even footing again for a double Luigi. If somebody came up on stage and told Chanel to stop falling for Yagami's ff2 setups, this comeback may not be possible.
@@Justlookingaround19I mean I get it, even in a single match of I'm 2-0 in rounds I'll get frustrated as I lose thinking "I just need one, I literally just need one" but imagining that for 5 matches straight? Jesus
@@Justlookingaround19 Yeah I think it may have been a combination of things. Chanel may have thought, "I've smoked this guy with my sub (Zafina) so when I switch to my main (Alisa) it will be a steamroll" but the opposite happening would get anyone a bit flustered. Secondly, Chanel didn't download Yagami at all in the first 4 games and in the following games he must've been shocked at how downloaded he was by his opponent and must've focused more on cleaning up his own tendencies rather than focusing on Yagami's tendencies.
@@imdadchaklader4686 Last I checked I think she's still Top 3 most played characters just under King and Jin, so ye her popularity dropped a little bit but she's still pretty popular, I see her on ranked pretty often
Yagami is a fucking magician and you can't convince me otherwise. Dude just doesn't know magic is prohibited outside of Hogwarts lmao Chanel on the other hand... Man I'm really sorry for the guy. The title of the browniest pants owner is gonna stick to him for a while. In multiple senses of a word.
I'm not entirely sure, but it feels to me Devilster is the most optimized Jin player I have seen, but when it comes to Reina I'm pretty sure he is the most optimized Reina there is right now. His plays and tech usage is so cool.
I posted on your video a week ago that Yagami has the best Reina. Only found him because he fought in Wellington NZ against Ranghu and they had an epic final.
Yagami won a small but very stacked tournament at the redbullsphere Tokyo just after Evo, there was Shadow, top jp player, Joey, kuroten etc. I was there and the way he won made me convinced he will at some point make it big in Tekken scene.
Steve main here. I Labbes Reina since the start of Tekken 8 and reached Tekken God in February, (I'm not playing Tekken 8 right now) but Yagami and Ulsan are my inspirations, Yagami is the best tech expert out there, while Ulsan is so aggressive and wavuwavu with Reina crazy stuff.
I don't know why, but Chanel was over using df+4 out of Scarecrow, and the longer the set went on the more Yagami was blocking it, in the match he lost with Zafina if Chanel had traded a couple of those df+4s with a couple of 4s or 1+2s he would've won. I thought maybe he was conditioning him, but he wasn't. 3:40 perfect example, Chanel hits 4 and he gets a 58 damage combo instead of getting punished for the blocked df+4
As a multi player, seeing Reina reach the top where she belongs makes me happy lol now Yagami throwing out that counter hit high was so riskyyyyyyyy but damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn that crazy😮
5:05 You can avoid the trap of Reina by doing Heat-Bound, Powercrush or Rageart Holding Back then doing another Backdash When done Tech-Getup/Roll sidestep to the most available gap though she could've done a walljump (bbub) Using character's built-in Sidestep or Backdash moves like Alisa's Db1 Stance. Doing Reversal/Sabakies/Parry
For anyone interested in Raygun. She won a tournament to see who would go represent at the Olympics. She was literally the best they had in Australia. And the Breakdance scene is just a bunch of people gathering outside a building dancing on the sidewalk. No studio like most of the other Olympic competitors. Idk why Australia need a breakdance representative they should have passed on that.
There are Reina players and then there are the TRUE Reina Legends Yagami is the biggest representation of the best that Reina has to offer and one of her greatest champions proving that even with the crippling nerfs Reina can rise again like Heihachi. To win it all!
Yagami spent the first four rounds just reading Chanel like a book. Then goes on to absolutely WRECK HOUSE for like 12 straight rounds. The nail biter ending was so good.
He probably wanted to get Yagami used to one character before cheesing him out. Unfortunately, Yagami was too locked in. It'll be cool to see how much ft5 changes how the pros play, I think I like it more
Longer sets are so different to short, it’s almost a different skill set, i tend to do better over a longer set, which is a weakness because in ranked or tourney I don’t adapt fast enough. I’ve got smoked 2-0 in ranked, asked for a ft10, got smoked another 2-0 and then won the set 10-2. I adapt but too slowly
Reina is insanely cool. I don't think her popularity will die after Heihatchi's return. On the contrary, their interaction in story mode is what we need.
I main Reina and I don't have any intention in dropping her, but is she still that popular anymore?
we playing both 🗣
I main Reina and don't plain on changing
Reina is not gonna lose popularity by no chance because she is the most picked character although
@@Yulz553 She's still one of the most popular, Top 3 I think, I don't see her popularity dropping off, she's one of those characters that are interesting gameplay wise and appeal to a really large audience
Yagami was running that 56kbps download speed but once his download finished, he was ready to dish out the pain!
The Legendary Super Mishima
NGL a FT5 is much better than a best of 3. Players can adapt better and use other characters in a set.
Maybe instead of FT2 with FT3 in the finals, it should be FT3, with FT4 in top 32, and then FT5 in quarters and up. Although I worry it'd make events impossible.
In a single elimination bracket in this tournament format, yes this works better than a first to 3.
@@sakulyah way too long, I'd say keep FT2 up until top 8, which should be *at least FT3* (if double elim) or FT5 with the single elim
FT5 and NO COACHING (i dont care bout coaching), just makes it so exciting
They should implement this into ranked
Yagami is in the same city as me and I've met him a few times at locals. Nice guy and I'm so happy that Melbourne is being put on the map through players like Yagami and commentators like Brownman. Love our Tekken scene ❤

The hypest set in the EWC, next to Double vs Jon.
This tournament was something else
As a fellow Aussie who constantly sees Yagami at locals, so proud he got this and his 3rd place in EWC, he's been putting in work
The poking sequence at around 9:35 to win the round was absolutely beautiful. b2 is an under used move, especially when thrown into that sequence!
11:41 😂😂😂 what are you talking about man?
He's becoming Joe biden
Bro I was just coming to see if anyone else DIED LAUGHING at this. 😂😂😂😂
Extremely hype set
Round-Robin pool stages into big set (Like FT5) Top 8/16 is such a good format.
Legendary match of the year, THIS IS SOME GOOD AS TEKKEN!
This live was SO FUCKIN' HYPE

Yagami channeling Bane Energy. "I was wondering what would break first, Your spirit or your body"
Yall didnt see it, but for a split second, Yagami did the mishima nod, sacred stance transition into body. Only real mishimas know.

15:20 All of us when see see Alisa's lose
What an intro, I really like the way you did it TMM!
Big thumbs up for Yagami by the way, he is really a very strong Reina player
Yagami just made history with the greatest comeback in the history of professional Tekken. So many clutch moments.
I posted on your video a week ago that Yagami has the best Reina.
Only found him because he fought in Wellington NZ against Ranghu and they had an epic final.

I was in the arena and that was the most hype thing that has ever happened
Can't wait for people to start complaining that Reina is broken and high tier after all the specialists worked their ass off to improve.
This makes me all the more impressed with MrNaps victory over Yagami at EVO.

Watching this match live was hell of an experience 😂
After this tournament I really think the format of all the other TWT tournaments needs to be changed so there's more FT3 and FT5 in the top 24-8

to the mf that said "Lee Preist" is a fucking chad 2:50
Yagami had that 256 k download
damn what a set, yagami nailed it with that beauty Reina
My favorite comeback was (not in a tournament) Keisuke vs Choksae ft10 where Keisuke was 9-2 in the lead and then Choksae just said, nah, I'd win.
I saw it on live i was so shocked😮
In the game i'm playing (Destiny 2) whenever a team goes 4-0, it's pretty common to have like a mercy round. 4-1. Then next thing you know it's 4-5.
As much as I hate playing against Reina, I'm always happy to see Zafina and Alisa get bodied 🔥
History was made.
We need more Reina gameplay
Omg it was so satisfying watching this.
Badly needed an adjustment or buff to the damage of Reyna's rage art.
Will we start seeing more pros playing Reina?
