About Tekken (source Wikipedia):

Tekken (Japanese: 鉄拳, "Iron Fist") is a Japanese media franchise centered on a series of fighting video and arcade games developed by Bandai Namco Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.

Players can choose from a diverse cast that hails from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and fighting styles. A few characters have supernatural origin, such as, Alisa Bosconovitch, Angel, Mokujin, Ogre and Azazel, while animal characters like Kuma, Panda, the Roger family, and Alex provide comic relief. In the story mode of the game, each character generally has their own personal reasons for entering the tournament and competing for the prize.

The protagonist of the series has varied between installments; the character ending of each canon game determines the protagonist of each. Kazuya Mishima was the protagonist in the original game and Tekken 7, his father Heihachi Mishima was the protagonist of Tekken 2 and Tekken 6, and Jin Kazama has been the central protagonist since his debut in Tekken 3. The conflict between the Mishima family within multiple generations serves as the main conflict to the series' plot according to Katsuhiro Harada who describes it as a simple struggle. Although Lars Alexandersson among other characters are not fully related to them, they serve as major characters within Tekken 6 where Jin serves as the main antagonist instead of his relatives.

About the character Paul Phoenix: (source Tekken Wikia):

Paul Phoenix (ポール・フェニックス Pōru Fenikkusu?) is a character in the Tekken series who made his debut in the first Tekken game and has since appeared in every game to date. He is a hotheaded, aggressive character, determined more than ever to win the King of Iron Fist Tournament and prove he is the best fighter in the entire universe. Paul's fighting style is a personal hybrid martial art based on Judo, as can be seen by his throws. His style has many other elements of other martial arts, including elements of Karate, (seen in his strikes) and even Baji Quan, visible in his variations of Chain Leg Kicks and back shoulder attacks. Paul's fighting style has probably undergone more changes following cross-training with his long-time training partners Marshall and Forest Law.

This is my favorite Tekken move because you can see the logic behind the submission and how Paul Phoenix reacts to his opponent trying to escape. Super legit!

[wmcchow]

The revenge of Chad for Logan always bullying him😅😅

[valleyluvsU]

love how the guy on the floor agrees with you ☺️🫶

[juniorforbes]

That move has been around in Tekken 2 since 90's, same time MMA was becoming a thing, so cool.

[Aware_Bear]

The economy has hit everyone. Paul had to sell some of his hair.

[fdspark]

Don’t worry Logan! Tekken is adding weapons in their next game so maybe you’ll get a chance to be the demonstrator instead!

[douxhc]

I still remember when I played Tekken 2 for the 1st time, and after that Tekken 3, I love the series and maybe is not as flashy as other fighting games but it brings so many good real moved like this one.

[monkeynavyseal]

Paul Phoenix used to always be my favorite Tekken player

[martinaevavirag]

Love, Martina

As the song says "Take down ground and pound, that's my resolution"

[safwatnuman]

Paul is my absolute favorite Tekken character.

[K]

Paul is one of my favorite characters, he has the best techniques among all characters

[kitsune_jones]

Love that you guys are doing more video game breakdowns. Hope you look at one of King's grabs or Dragunov's sambo in the future.

[paulsaguto]

I just like that the character on defense is actually actively trying to convincingly defend themselves which is not common in most games/movies

[accidentallike]

Gotta love my some Tekken. Great animations, the music pumps like mad and suprisingly fun for newcomers 😄

[ilikewater]

Bro was 2 seconds away from putting Logan to sleep 😅

[RedFoxGrappler]

Tekken is pretty well done when it comes to the realism of the moves in game, great video as always, guys!

[Chris_Prime]

An underrated move that could make the difference in a Tekken match IMO.

[mastermed]

EXCELLENT TECHNIQUE AND VERY EFFECTIVE 💯

Record scratch for Logan. "Yep, that's me. Bet you're wondering how I ended up here..."
