From 20:20 onwards, this is the definition of Tekken. The commentary, the crowd, Arslan Ash vs Knee. Man, the hype is just legendary

[Ryuga]

I don't know if you guys have noticed. This is the first time knee is actually resetting the bracket against arslan ash in the grand finals

[GutoSantana]

Arslan with NO COACH against KOREA top players coaching each other, with the crowd cheering AGAINST him and STILL finds a way to win. How epic is this? WOW!!!

Knee's extremely safe, jab and 1-2 oriented defensive play with Feng is tough to apply against someone like Arslan, particularly using Kuni. Arslan has impeccable defense and reaction time, and Kuni is a really hard matchup: very small, amazing movement, lots of safe strings to pressure, mixup monster, crushing to keep one honest at close range, evasion, fantastic whiff punishing, tracking, great lows and good poking tools... Knee plays a fundamentals driven Feng, and it felt too austere and basic for Arslan, who was impossible to open up defensively. In particular the 2 strings by Kuni that Arslan often completed and Knee failed to duck meant enormous pressure and problems for Knee's close range pressure gameplan, in which Feng excels. He tried to keep Arslan's forward momentum in check in the last set with f3, but it got blocked every time.

Also, Arslan's reaction time made Knee justifiably apprehensive with the lows, relying on jabs, fishhook, 1/12, and qcf 1+2 by and large for keep himself in neutral/positive; d2 was too slow and risky from close range, and db3 was very risky at -15 on block... it got launch punished a few times. He should have used d4 a bit more for quick low poke up close, and maybe db1 for range control, and f4 for keepout. But above all, he needed to duck the highs in the 2-strings, big time.

Amazing set. Arslan is a prodigy.

Epic Grand Finals and one of the best Tekken tournaments for quite some time. Such high level play from all players and some awesome comebacks throughout the tournament. Congrats to everyone for making this happen and to all the players that participated!

[akuuuuu]

20:50 Knee taking advices from coaches. meanwhile, Arslan sitting like one man army and doing self analysis 🧠 💯, and the rest is history, Always trust yourself when the situation is difficult ♥ 20:50.

Arslan and Knee are legends and I want to thank them for showing the best match!

This Grand Final was the definition of PEAK TOURNAMENT TEKKEN

TEKKEN NEVER DISAPPOINTS

[FRMSharma]

I really love how both the crowd and the commentators go wild whenever Knee lands a combo or makes a win, while there's little to no fanfare from both when Arslan takes it away.

Knee has his coaches or people there giving him ideas and motivation while Arslan is there all alone.

[raohannan]

This match alone tells you that Arslan is a lone wolf. Crowd, Commentators, Players All against or atleast rooting for other. He still manages to pull it off.

[fajarsetiawan]

What I love (and also hate) about Arslan Ash is how inaccessible his playstyle and his character choices to the general players. Kuni and Zafina have long sequence of combos and pretty difficult to play because they have different movements. This argument actually cements him even more as an exceptional Tekken master. His game is insanity and such a great entertainment to watch.

[jerichoneal]

Man that was sick! greatest rivalry ever!

[ShaunInce]

That was one of the best Grand Finals I've seen in a long time. I was not expecting the bracket reset. This could have been a 50 minute video had the set gone on longer.

[TrialoftheMonkeys]

Arslan laughing after Knee gets the reset, what an absolute champion.

[MAnwerSaeed]

What an epi display of skill by both players, the reset was legendary, but in the end Arslan was just too ahead of Knee.
One of the best rand finals ever...
