  • When they call you the God of Tekken, they expect you to destroy the competition.
    But power isn’t enough. Perfection is the goal.
    Because when his reign is nothing more than history, future converts will look back and see that Knee is the God of Tekken.

    I'm so glad Knee finally got the spotlight. I was so disappointed when he wasn't in the top 10 legendary players. He might not be as popular as others, even in the FGC, but what he did to keep the Tekken scene alive throughout the scene's toughest years, and his attitude towards challenges is a shining example of what esports and competition should always try to emulate.
    Much respect from a mainly Dota focused player. :)

    I was hoping you’d mention what happened to Knee’s awards (trophies, medals) that he put on display at Green Arcade.
    Long story short, when the arcade shut down, they got smashed up without a second though. He was never asked if he wanted them back and nobody bothered to try and preserve them beforehand. Having spent a lot of time over there trying his best to push the Tekken scene and knowing the owners very well, he felt very betrayed and was extremely disappointed.
    There were some that were recovered, but this clearly upset him a lot, and yet he still pushed forward as the best player in history.

    The Best part was when Knee visited to Pakistan.

The entire scene out there was Knee's answer. Knee knew that his efforts haven't gone in vain. Multiple generations of players from across the globe have been motivated by Knee.

      The part at 4:49 is an example of how bad it is.
      The subtitles: In Korea, the expectation is to go to school, get a good job, and get married, but since pursuing Tekken I never fit into those standards. In my 20s, I joined the army and had plans of going to school and getting a job but that didn’t happen.
      What Knee actually said:
      제가 20대 초반에 철권을 제일 잘하고 싶어서 열심히 했었는데 (In my early 20s, I wanted to be very best at Tekken and put all my effort into it)
      그때 제가 대학교도 그만두고 오직 이제 철권에만 몰두를 했었는데 (At the time, I had dropped out of college and became absorbed into just Tekken)
      한국에서는 좋은 대학을 나와서 좋은 직장에 추업하고… 결혼을 하고… 뭐, 이런게 단계 별로 있는데.. (But in Korea.. getting into a good college, getting a good job, getting married.. there are these kinda steps in life and...)
      저는 아예 그 쪽에 전혀 관련이 없다 보니까, 뭔가 사회적으로 실패한게 이닐까? (because I had completely separated myself from that [direction in life], couldn't it be said that I had failed, socially speaking.)
      그래서 군대를 갔다오면, 철권을 그만 두고 나도… 뭐.. 공부를 해서 대하교를 가고 좋은 직장을 찾고.. 뭐 그런 생각을 한 적 있습니다. (So after returning from my military service, I had thoughts about putting down Tekken, studying to get into college, and finding a good workplace from time to time).
      The subtitles are leaving out a lot of what Knee said, and many times, they don't match up with what he's saying. For example, the Korean societal expectations appears somewhere in the middle of his paragraph, but the subtitles have it smack in the beginning, when he's talking about getting obsessed with Tekken.

    In humans and other primates, the knee joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two joints: one between the femur and tibia (tibiofemoral joint), and one between the femur and patella (patellofemoral joint). It is the largest joint in the human body. The knee is a modified hinge joint, which permits flexion and extension as well as slight internal and external rotation. The knee is vulnerable to injury and to the development of osteoarthritis.

      Absolute godlike player from Japan. His win was actually pretty crazy. People did not think Japan had a chance at winning or even doing well during the Tekken world tour finals. People had Korea, Pakistan, and even America doing better than the Japanese. But Japan was red hot out of the gate, because everyone was preparing for each other but not preparing for Japan, and Japan really wanted to prove themselves. Normally you don't think of Japan as underdogs in fighting games, so them doing so well was super hype. It was a sight to see every single Japanese player storm the stage and jump on Chikurin when he won.
      Just a small note is he's not from Tokyo or Osaka where the vast majority of top players are from. He is from far west Japan so it's been interesting to see the best player in Japan come from there.

    Pakistan Esport scene is no joke.
    You got SumaiL in Dota2 who was 15 years old prodigy playing at the highest prize pooled tournament in Esport history for the first time and won it.
    Now it's Arslan who challenged the god himself to the point that he reconsider his retirement on tekken knowing that finally there is a worthy opponent waiting for him to came down from mount olympus

    Knee and Daigo are the like the fighting game gods. They're legends on their own and inspires everyone to become better.

    Knee to Tekken is the similar to Daigo for Street Fighter. Both are really good and legends of their game.

    I notice that a lot of the Asian players especially from Korea and Japan would start off playing a bunch of fightng games. One of them being the King of Fighters series and drift away from them to focus on 1 or 2 for tournaments. It's really sad cause KoF is such an underrated series and needs more exposure.

      KoF would probably do better if it was also only a 1v1 fighter, I think.

    He truly is the God of Tekken. After an amazing year in 2019 and 2020 till COVID hit he's regained his position at the top by winning EVO 2022. He's going to go down as the GOAT without a shadow of a doubt.

    I wonder how Knee's rival, "Elbow", is doing these days...

    @KewlAlexYT Před 3 lety +8

    The way Knee carries himself is inspiring, many people in the fgc think highly of themselves without even accomplishing anything but having a twitch audience to e beg to.

    Also, could you make one featuring Eyemusician, a player that took a mid-tear character like Yoshi and totally owned it?

      They may have now starting to get into since mostly they showcased CSGO,Dota,Lol,OW.
      Tekken started when Rangchu wins Panda and Arslans Japan takeover.

    *Arlsan vs. Knee before 2019*
    Knee: Ho? You're approaching me?
    Arslan: I can't beat the sh!t out of you without getting closer
    *Arslan vs. Knee in 2019:*
    Arslan: Ho? You're approaching me?

    Honestly i'm also glad of where tekken is today, and Knee is one of the reason for that. Community is huge and growing (and even more with pakistan coming so strong). Really excited for the future of tekken
