    I really love how there's all there lore behind Arslan. Whispers on the fringe of the tournament community for years and when he finally rose there was this group of people who knew about him going "I fuckin knew it!". Such a cool story

    • @umwhoalol
      @umwhoalol Před 2 měsíci +11

      Spaghetti here talked a mad game and we didn't believe it lol. We definitely thought it was possible with El negro, how other countries who couldn't travel would smash, but we still didn't believe we'd see THAT.
      Arslan was like a superior breed, a secret super soldier with kazumi. Who would've believed that there was a super soldier that was just straight up better at everything? But that's straight up what he was/is.

    I remeber when i was in a local pakistani arcade when i was young and there is a kid probably abt 7 or 8 years old who beat every big local player older than him with king back in tekken 3 , with a trash bin on his back, he earned his living by collecting trash. Thats how much passion these kids have

    You’re literally my tekken professor. Your content has enabled me to come at the game with a more patient and cerebral approach, which in turn has let me enjoy it outside of the scope of “ oh cool characters and combos “ I can appreciate player expression and strategy in the macro level now. Thank you Prof. Phi. God bless you man keep up the great work

  • @johnsavage5279
    @johnsavage5279 Před 2 měsíci +52

    I’ll be putting the “block the move 100 times” thing to practice. I’m willing to bet there’s a ton of value in that approach. It makes the threat identification instant and instead of reacting, you just act.
    Really dope video.

    • @AirLancer
      @AirLancer Před 2 měsíci +4

      The value of repetition and just having the image of something be instantly recognizable, so you skip the identification and just go into your response.
      It's why low-skilled 2D game players may know that you're supposed to punish a DP, but they're not able to react to it since they just haven't seen it enough and trained to be able see it.
      Still, that kind of thing is only something you can do as a supplement just playing a lot. Without the in-game experience, that kind of training loses value since you don't run into the situation enough.

    • @MDobs-ko8bp
      @MDobs-ko8bp Před 2 měsíci

      ​@AirLancer yup. But what I have learned is that......
      Yall ready.? I hope no one sees this.
      The secret to better reactions is to never look at your character directly. Only look at your character during combo's.
      In neutral and in fight always be watch your opponents character not yours. Boom. There ya go.

    So funny to me getting back into Tekken now having not played since I was a kid with my friends, what's funny though is that at the time in the UK all my friends were Pakistani and they all loved Tekken and were much better at it than I was (they used to travel to Pakistani to see their families) I now wonder if they ever visited some of those same Arcades that Spag mentions back home in Pakistan. Anyway, maybe it is in their blood.
    Great chat Phi, really enjoyed this one.

    I am originally from Pakistan living in US, and Maniax arcade is mentioned by Spag @25:00, its based in Lahore Allama Iqbal town. It’s an underground dojo of Tekken, you walk in there and pick a random person, he will select a character on ? And beat the hell out of you with your main. It’s literally insane. Maniax as the name suggests is crazy, if you’re ever in Lahore and play Tekken, go there you’ll know the real Pakistani scene.

    1:07:55 This is a really interesting point, as a musician I feel the exact same way about musicians in America vs countries like Japan or Korea. I feel like American musicians historically have been good at coming up with new styles and aesthetics of music, while the average musicians in JP/KR will take those styles and perform them at a much higher level of technical expertise, albeit without innovating as much in terms of style.
