5:24 WOW, Hamaha is a name I have not heard in ages, glad to hear he's a mentor to another solid Kazuya player. Back in the DR/BR days, I think he also trained and mentored Deku (Ryo), a top level Heihachi. Nice to see the old skool names passing on their knowledge.

@imangolix7235 Ай бұрын

Where can i find matches or more info about hamaha?

@mazin9193 Ай бұрын

I vaguely remember a Hamaha, but Deku was still around playing some Tekken 7 Arcade and had a sick Devil Jin. Didn't know he mained Heihachi before that. A lot of the "retired" old-school players still played Tekken 7 on Arcades, but didn't join tournaments. Legends like MSR, MSR2, and Tetsuo weren't among them though.

You think people downplay kazuya now the character was almost complete garbage in tekken 6 br. Going forward I think Namco learned the mistake they made with the Mishima as a whole with that game. So not surprised he wasn't playing him then but sites it as his favourite tekken
