LMAO some of us spawned in at Top 16 but yea most of us did show up at Grand Finals, it's a payback too For EVO japan 2019 it would've been AK's story back then if he won against arslan but it's fine this win was a long time coming for him
@@Mezha07 i saw that. AK vs Arslan in finals for EVO japan 2019. He shifted to Paul when his shaheen wasn't working and lost. Now his shaheen looking amazing and aggressive beating everyone.
I like watching players play games with emotions. And AK has shown a lot of emotions. From frustration, to anger, to disappointment, to happiness. I’m proud of the dude. 🤙
AK's comboes are so risky but are very optimal for wall carry. He took risks and that paid off, I discovered AK 2020 and still cheering him every win and lost and seeing him win CB 2024 made me tear up
So happy that he finally won a major tournament. And based on his performance here, I think he's going to be winning a lot more in Tekken 8. It's almost like the game is built for his playstyle.
The way he plays Shaheen looks really cool. Combos look really sick. He does consecutive crouch dash, fake jumps, slides and chops. Really satisfying side step moments plus he actually countered those Victor stuff lol
The Tekken game mechanics and fighting system has evolve so much from 3d to tekken tag, wall and bounce now heat attacks. I think Knee stands out among the evolution and success on different era and Arslan notable multiple successess for Tekken 7 while in T8 is a new challenge still of who will be dominant for the world tournament as some players like AK has found his playstyle compatible with his main character set of moves with the new heat smash and 50/50 tech traps... Notice how most vet players struggle early but this winner's tournament has proved just how much difference a game could change that fits your playstyle.
I like AK actually uses the game Mechanic Harada wanted. I rarely see people really use the Sidestepping in the game. They usually do the Korean Backdash. People keep forgetting this is a 3D fighting game.
In the Philippines, Arcade Tekken was huge thing before. I always watch him play when he was a child. Long que for his challengers and kid's win rate was like 75%.
something felt so off about him this combo breaker run, like hes completely an evolved tekken player its an extraordinary even more glow up to his game and its a very well deserved win after all these year
that's how tekken 8 should be played. tbh bne was successful making t8 more hype for spectators to watch, T7 was a bit of snooze fest with all the defensive plays.
I saw AK vs Arslan match first before AK vs Farzeen, I gotta say I completely agree. I actually thought Farzeen was the bigger threat to AK than Arslan. Arslan needs to forget about the habits he picked up in T7 coz T8 is almost like a completely different game. It rewards more aggressive plays than defensive plays.
@@Frizzy125Honestly the only reason some pros don't like T8 is cause it ruins their fundamentals The players you mentioned thrived in Defensive plays but T8 doesn't want that sht, the game is built for players who has the balls to take that 50/50 and all of AK's matches was just that he was taking 50/50 most of the time mind you he could've lost everytime he got punished but nah he took that risk still
Arslan's nina was definitely a threat.. but what can duel pistol do to an AK.. his shaheen combos are simple but so complex if you really analyze and watch., the side steps and crouch dash were definitely the highlight of his Win and defeating one of the best tekken player in the world was an tekken life achievement.. congrats!..
Remember when Rangchu Didn't stick to Kuma ? He lost that day But got his Champion Trophy when he came back with more bear booty 😂 Same when AK shifted to Paul coz he can't win But now he is more confident with his main and took the Trophy
I love AK since he's the same nationality as mine. Been watching him since Tekken 7 along with Doujin. Just wanna ask why the majority of audience was rooting for him? Arslan Ash was also good with the mixups and the combos
Man T8 was built for him and every aggressive player in the game cause god damn he was always this aggressive in T7 with the new features he just ups the ante lets go PH pride🇵🇭
one thing i notice is that he loves to just get up and long sidestep. Even arslan lost a couple rounds in grand finals to this. Ak has done alot of sidestepping in tekken 8 and it might really have to be the play here, back stepping is so bad in tekken 8.
Glad to be a small part of AK insane Combo Breaker run. He's a legend. I tried my best lol
You re beast too!amazing hwoarang!
love the way you played your Hwoarang man!
Ggs you too 🔥
You faced the final boss from the beginning
@mixxyv2463 thank you very much!
Every single Filipino spawned in as soon as he was in Grands to cheer him on
LMAO some of us spawned in at Top 16 but yea most of us did show up at Grand Finals, it's a payback too For EVO japan 2019 it would've been AK's story back then if he won against arslan but it's fine this win was a long time coming for him
Nah we are always there supporting him and Doujin , every win or lost
He’s like the Pacquiao of Tekken Tournament
True. Had to stop everything i'm doing to watch live.
@@Mezha07 i saw that. AK vs Arslan in finals for EVO japan 2019. He shifted to Paul when his shaheen wasn't working and lost. Now his shaheen looking amazing and aggressive beating everyone.
Been watching him compete since Tag 2. Absolutely teared up seeing him win this live. His reaction was perfect.
pop off for all ages
yeah, his law and Paul user back in tag 2 and he's so good on law i remember watching him when i was in high school
After 5 years...he finally beat Arslan in a Grand Finals. So glad he won. Dude's a beast.
If he wasn't a gigachad enough, boy does the difficult combos too.
All his combos is hard as shit, him doing it in the finals just added another thing to like about him.
He made Shaheen scary af
i tried doing them they are so hard lmao
What is even better, the guy literally use T7 Shaheen combo to wall carry, and I was like, "I didn't know it could do that!!" 😂
Thing is Shaheen's hard combos arent even that hard its just that hes the only one doing them
His matches were so aggressive and close that I couldn't breathe even as a spectator 😂
AK's Pokerface finally burst into pure emotions!!!!!
I like watching players play games with emotions. And AK has shown a lot of emotions. From frustration, to anger, to disappointment, to happiness. I’m proud of the dude. 🤙
*witnessed how mans evolve through the years and finally defeated his demons ggs AK*
10:45 like an anime clash was so dope!
ahh, still amazinggg

AK is a different kind of BEAST, man, the DODGES he did was INSANE in the tournament following up with a hard combo finisher, it was just FINESSE.
The way he plays Shaheen looks really cool. Combos look really sick. He does consecutive crouch dash, fake jumps, slides and chops.
Really satisfying side step moments plus he actually countered those Victor stuff lol
Victor's gimmicks are annoying😂 Good thing AK destroyed it
Gotta give credit to those combo loops as well. Hard to do specially with the pressure of the match
after i watch AK's shaheen, i think it was really hard to try like his playstyle and combos tbh.
@@rryuko3668 T8 is very much aggressive and it fits AK's playstyle

6:43 HOLY CRAP
epic 🤩
lowkey his heat smash is fire as hell
He made Shaheen looks so sick.
love the chemistry of steve and rip man so good energy
He did an AMAZING job. The adaptation, the combos, etc. was all perfect. Congratulations to AK on that superb run.
I was screaming during his matches.
2:29 thailand pride
can't spell bAngKok without AK
Bruh why is the flag Thailand 😂
AK my favourite Vietnamese player 🇵🇭
😂😂😂
In the Philippines, Arcade Tekken was huge thing before. I always watch him play when he was a child. Long que for his challengers and kid's win rate was like 75%.
He beat them all.
bro was on the winners bracket the whole tourney what a beast!
even the replay is still giving me goosebumps. congrats AK and to everyone in the tournament!
Highly technical, hard combos, easy to miss. High risk, high reward plays. AK is always so fun to watch, man. He makes Shaheen dance
Im so glad he used Shaheen imma try to learn him more and hopefully become half as good
@15:19 the most deserved celebrations
something felt so off about him this combo breaker run, like hes completely an evolved tekken player its an extraordinary even more glow up to his game and its a very well deserved win after all these year
much love to the Philippino people. kind hearted, cheerful people.
Very happy for him he was an underdog in the finals like many times before but this time in the end he prevailed against the greatest tekken player.
thanks for the highlight compilation bro! missed out on the pools matches
He uses Shaheen to his full potential ❤
Shaheen is such an underrated character otherwise. He deserves more attention
Crazy. AK got his revenge
combo breaker was the first tekken 8 tourney i decided to watch. The match quality was so good
Ak plays the game how it’s supposed to be played 🎉
NICE CONTENT!! FOR AK
Ak deserved it. He was awesome at combo breaker. Congrats from a Filipino living in Germany 🇵🇭 🇵🇭 🇵🇭
닥치고 공격하는 게 8의 포인트라 그런지 막혔을 때의 리스크 크게 생각지 않고 적절히 하단 걸어주는 게 이번 대회에서 통했네요. 진짜 잘했음.
Amazing combos
His aggressive playstyle is a feast to the eyes!
He deserves it! Congrats from the PH!
"this character isn't boring! you're boring!"
Shaheen will be up on the tierlist now lol. He's in the bottom 3 since I started T8.
Stayed. In winners the entire time never went to losers like a true champion
I heard about this kid since 2013 or 2014 of how he defeated a top level player at a very young age.
He said this was his last tournament if he didn’t win. BUT HE DID!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Man watching AK vs Rangchu got me conflicted, I love Kuma mainers but AK with Shaheen was real tight
AK IS THE GOAT!!!!
ak problem back then that i tilts a lot and he is very impatient. but now he has changed for the better. gratz man
Tekken 8 suits his aggressive playstyle
my boy single handily lead to the shaheen nerfs we got. bro i can’t even do one rep of while standing 3 loops that combo is so damn hard
Every now and again, the new gens of tekkens are absolutely amazing,. Well done AK FTW!!!!!
AK make Shaheen players proud 🏆. Hell Yeah 🔥
🤩🔥😎
tekken tag 2 champ , memorable combos
he is incridible
Shaheen has damage and a blender. AK was playing Tekken 8 some people were still playing 7
AK love you! lowhigh BOO thats what you get for not trusting our main!
"No matter how good you are at something, there's always an asian who's better than you at it."
The stance cancels are not easy to do consistently. It’s crazy how good he is at it. And how much he’s doing it in the matches
I wonder if he woulda crushed a "Debut Leroy" back then...
AK vs Farzeen has got to be peak tekken 8 for now... And its freaking epic to watch.. Good As* Tekken indeed.!
that's how tekken 8 should be played. tbh bne was successful making t8 more hype for spectators to watch, T7 was a bit of snooze fest with all the defensive plays.

AK broke the choke shield... AT LAST win a championship...
amazing pause contrler combo.
His sidestep game is insane, mabuhay Ang pilipinas
Everyone under estimating Shaheen can hold that 😊
Ak threw he's comrad. I mean the controller pad.
Whats amazing with this was he never lost a match the whole tournament. One of the best player if not the best from the PH!!
16:00 arslan be like, i got two of them trophies at home too bro...
if you got two then you're the favorite to go for three but ....
And yet still lost
lol did they just put the thailand flag next to AK's name in the UI
ak is Thailand's prise, let's go ak
Rocky of tekken ❤❤❤❤ damn!
Years from now ak gonna be 47
He finally got his revenge. Hopefully they meet at the Grand Finals again for the 3rd time. Good As$ Tekken. I Love it
AK has dual citizenship.😝
Cant believe it AK can perfect arslan 3 times
me too
Give arsalan and knee some months and they will be back on track they still haven’t adapted yet in tekken 8
@@Frizzy125 Yeah

Bien ganado el shahen de AK , contra la nina básica de Arslan
AK is the very first solo E-sport Filipino international champion in the world!
Really wished that I could've flagged him down for a set at CB. But maybe another time.
I hope more filipino will make an entry in T8 tourneys an be good as AK like how Arslan brought pakistan players in tourneys
Best Shaheen player in the world goes to AK
Mga pinoy tekken fan/players dyan magingay nag champ din filipino representative natin sa tekken!!
binabash niyo namqan pag talo. PLASTIK!
My favorite chou user fr haha he deserves the win
Deserve tapos revenge match na pareho rin to na-i 0-6 sya ni Arslan.
naging thai pa nga sa pansamantala
lmao rip and steve saying huge damage even tho shaheen damage is ass 😂
Aquaflask is the key😄
Most entertaining playing style mix of everything..great player❤

Waiting to e sports to make Video of AK 😁

Remember when Rangchu Didn't stick to Kuma ? He lost that day
But got his Champion Trophy when he came back with more bear booty 😂
Same when AK shifted to Paul coz he can't win
But now he is more confident with his main and took the Trophy
Rangchu should've stick with Panda.
Also, Kudos to AK for that sweet redemption.
AK Owned Tekken 8 🇵🇭
So what did he win?
I fan of you ak is legend in the Phillipines
I love AK since he's the same nationality as mine. Been watching him since Tekken 7 along with Doujin.
Just wanna ask why the majority of audience was rooting for him? Arslan Ash was also good with the mixups and the combos
Wow
Proud Philippines ❤
Does eye musician participate in this tournament?
he played in a tier 2 tournament and placed 2nd overall
Man T8 was built for him and every aggressive player in the game cause god damn he was always this aggressive in T7 with the new features he just ups the ante lets go PH pride🇵🇭
He's playstyle is always been aggressive since TT2. T8 is a game for him.
one thing i notice is that he loves to just get up and long sidestep. Even arslan lost a couple rounds in grand finals to this. Ak has done alot of sidestepping in tekken 8 and it might really have to be the play here, back stepping is so bad in tekken 8.
Proud here someday I wanna see you pic to you idol
Did they just put the wrong flag in the first fight??
Amazing as it is. I feel bad for JDCR. He is definitely robbed.
this is combo breaker tournament not dreamhack tournament.
Putting a Thailand Flag on AK is so unprofessional.
