Arslan is an amazing player and definitely a humble person. I was streaming T7 a few weeks ago I had ZERO viewers per usual and out of nowhere ARSLAN ASH comes into my chat with words of encouragement it was pretty cool and noble of him. It's hard not to root for a guy like that

Huge respect to you for literally coaching Arsalan Ash on how to deal with Noctis. This training session may have paved the way for Arsalans win.

Arslan nature is why he is the person i root for in every tournament. Always humble to everyone like even during grandfinals he always listened to atif very carefully and did everything he learned to get that trophy. He is the best tekken player for me.

Respect to arslan! But I also want to shout out my man's ulsan for his run at two! Ulsan's play style is what competitive Tekken needs! I was rooting for him because he plays like an absolute maniac and I absolutely loved every second of it. Keep your head up ulsan. Hope to watch Your Tekken 8 gameplay.

Unfortunatly those last few seconds seemed to have broken ulsan mentally after that. But just my opinion doesn't matter now lol. Arslan winning was well deserved.

The fact that you weren’t part of that event in Burbank, but you still went and shot your shot is truly inspiring. Your passion for Tekken is astounding, and it resonates so strongly with me, you have no idea. I wish you nothing but success and growth with your channel here and in your brackets. PHIDX! PHIDX!

So jelly to you all being at the TWT Finals. That was so much fun watching just on my own. Can only imagine how amazing it was on site with friends. About Arslan's mentality: The way I see it is that the only way to get to and stay at the top is to never give up the mentality of the student. As soon as you mentally become the master, as in you start thinking that "I know best", you stop learning and progressing. Even though it might be true in that moment, it won't stay that way for long at all. Growth mindset vs. Fixed mindset. So important in every aspect of life.

I got tekken 7 on release and it was my first time, playing a fighting game seriously. It basically got me into the fgc, and since then, I’ve played lots of different fighting games from air dashers to street fighter. I honestly can’t think of any other game to play competitively that’s as fun as fighting games.

You should consider analyzing the Arslan vs Ulsan game. This was fun to watch.

It's crazy to me that his technical skill alone can allow him to take the benefits of the matchup while sacrificing his personal experience with Kunimitsu and it works. Dude really is the GOAT.

"Keep doing it" is absolutely one of our many ways to play fighting games here in PK. The opponent is not the character in the game but the person playing so we would always try to kill the confidence and psychi of the opponent. It has been effective method and we took this seriously, when someone says "play your game" that is what we really do... Great analysis.

Dont forget, he not only won multiple EVOs bit was also competing in KoF at the same time. Hes really just a one of a kind player in FGs. I wanna see him throw down in various games with SonicFox.

Tekken 7 is one of the greatest fighting games of all time. What a journey it has been with this game.

Thanks for making these videos phidx, i enjoy them a lot.

It's really good seeing your analysis 👌 thanks

For me Tekken 7 was the best Tekken Game till date..... I was only 23 when the game came out and now I'm 30...feels like I've spend a lifetime with this game...now that it has come to an end it feels like an era has come to an end...

shout out for raising the bar on tekken content

The moment Phi foreshadowed the HAR 3 the moment CBM countered HAR with Noctis db+3 and it cost him the game was great. Seeing it in the moment you think it was an incredible read but watching it back you realize that it had been saving it the moment Arslan saw how CBM would react earlier. Great analysis.

I'd take him and you in a real fight together how does that sound mate?

Man, this was a BLAST to watch on stream. So many different players in clutch moments either exposing or getting exposed. Seeing all the players working together to beat the competition (shoutout to Ulsan for showing up to coach CBM less than 30 minutes after being knocked out is an amazing show of showmanship as well as solidarity) was really fun.You could really tell what it meant to Arslan to win the matches (his popoff after beating Ulsan was really telling imo. I think he really felt just how close he was to losing out after (to be fair, even as a viewer my heart was in my throat.) On the matches themselves, I think his pick of Katarina is something I feel plays to how Arslan likes to play. I feel out of every Tekken player out there, Arslan is the one that has a tendency to start and stop strings randomly so using someone like Katarina that drops huge poke damage and lets him swap from committing or backing away is scary, on top of that I think the usual answer to Katarina is whiff punishing mistakes, and I think Arslan's answer to that is just remove most of the huge punishable stuff except dashes and just focus on a simple gameplan. CBM generally didn't get much damage without making pretty hard reads imo. I also think that Arslan's Noctis was crisp when it worked out, but didn't really play to his personal strength because Noctis' roll is too big and I think he got punished almost everytime he tried to do it against LowHigh. Given how often used it instead of microwalking, I'm going to assume Arslan didn't play with Noctis as much as he did his usual picks (I also think most character's forward dashes aren't as obvious as Noctis') Too bad we're done with Tekken 7, I wonder what Arslan could learn out of needing to get used to Noctis for a longer period of time. I'll also say that I need to exclaim that Arslan's character ocean is utterly ridiculous, 5 champions represented in this tournament alone and that's ignoring his older mains like Zafina and Kazumi. It's incredible that he has the energy to put into learning so many different characters and play all of them at extremely high levels. Granted,I do personally think that fundamentals in Tekken carry across all characters the most (especially defense), but it's still insane that he can just pull out any of them the moment he thinks they are a better matchup.

For a second there I was almost expecting a Noctis mirror in GF... If CBM got a game and convinced him to switch I thought he'd try it since he had the luxury of a reset to play around with picks a bit. Low key I was wondering if this Kat pick had anything to do with your exp vs really good Kat players like Genghis. (I remember that 0-5 😅)

Phidx you should visit Pakistan next. I'm sure it will be a great experience 💃

Ulsan is one of the best players in the world rn. But he is easily rattled when things doesn't go his way and he needs to crowd behind him to keep, unlike Arslan who thrives when the crowd is against him. Arslan is in a league of his own.

✌🏼🤩🎉

As much as I love your content, I ain't rooting for any Noctis (apart from you and one time Ash) when they on screen. But that grand finals seems so sufficating for CBM, that I started feeling bad and borderline almost want a bracket reset just because. Ash couldn't even pop off hard at the end, most likely due to him already knowing the outcome is locked mid-match.

I noticed when CBM was doing db3 to Katarina harrier and I thought "why isn't Arslan using har df3 or har uf3" And I immediately realised in the round before "Oh this mother fucker is saving it" And I fkin jumped out of my bed when it finally happened in the most crucial moment of the set. Because if Arslan lost there, he most likely would have switched and you never know what could have happened from there.

Arslan ash is Mokujin forAll female characters.

hoping to see Kat return in t8😅

So with T8 is coming ,whos youre interested on playing phi ? No noctis 😊

Ash the goat

Hopefully we see new faces with the focus on aggression in T8. The Knee-slan tournament scene is getting boring. Not to mention the arslan dk rider spam comments from pakistan in every tekken video.

First

So you kinda helped Ash and already powerful player, who won like 5 or 6 championships in a row. But then was rooting for CBM Noctis to win? C'mon bro. You probably did it to grow your channel or get the experience? I know this is in the past and I know your knowledge is your prerogative but still. Wouldn't a pro player want to dethrone some who is in the top instead of helping them? I'm confused. Again I'm not judging or anything like that it's just to me if Michael Jordan won 6 championships with the Bulls I would not give him advise to win a 7th. I would like him to get beat especially if my home town team is playing against him. And btw I was rooting for PhiDX and CBM and other players to take the crown and hoping to someone take down not neccesarilly Ash (cause I like him and his story) but the top dog, as I always root for the underdog. But of course it did not happened.
