I love how there's such a diverse list of names... BUT THEN THERE'S KNEE. But for real, Knee's Tekken is just unreal, he might not be the best on all characters, but he is good enough to bring them out at any moment and most likely win, it's insane.

I like how the proof of being a good player is "he beat Knee once"

Knowing you haven’t seen my green rank Hwoarang, this list was made prematurely 😅

Lil Majin with King, was DEFINITELY a heck of a run. It’s fun to watch his live streams and KZfaq videos now, and you can tell when he’s being casual or serious with an opponent.

Jimmy definitely got Bryan on lock. When they Knee and Jimmy fought and Knee won, Knee said that Jimmy had a better taunt jet upper and he learned a new combo during the match from jimmy.

One Word Answer :- Knee

Wow mainman I've searched this video title many times as a new tekken player and wondered why no one had made a video discussing the topic. I was very close to commenting a few times asking if you or some other creators could make a video like this, so thank you very much!

Qudans legendary comeback after all his IRL issues in to winning the entire tournament against Saint will never get old. He is the DJ

I love that there is such a diverse list of names in the Tekken community. All of these names I recognize and have fond memories of their past matches.

I think AK should be a notable choice for Shaheen. He's the only Shaheen player who's gotten far in every evo tournament he's in. So I think he should be recognized

Pekos is worth a mention for Geese, he doesn't get brought up too much but he's been doing well for a while, won a Japanese TWT event last weekend

This video idea was awesome! Not an easy task but thanks for making this TMM 👍

I think Ao would be the best Kuni. He just put so much into labbing and optimizing her and makes some noise in Japan.

mainman, just wanted to say props for consistantly innovating your content since when I started watching in tag2. Always putting out new and interesting ideas and I watch each and every video sir!

What you said about Marduk could also be applied to Julia. IMO mikio brings out the most in Julia. He’s a top 10 Japanese player IMO maybe top 5

I believe GM holds the record for most Tekken tournaments won. I think mainly with Lee.

Yeonarang is indeed the best Hwo player nowadays, but the best Hwo player *ever* is Asellas. Too bad he doesn't play the game anymore, the guy was a beast with Hwo. Very unique playstyle, using Hwo tools very creatively and in an efficient manner, he could use more than d3,4. Very different from the playstyle of the players mentioned on the video. He also had a very good Lili and Jin. His Lili has taken down other legendary players and their signature characters, like onlypractice's Nina. And his Jin, eyemusician's Yoshi, so... Asellas wasn't just a Hwo god, he was a very, very solid and top notch Tekken player. I hope he's doing well and kicking.

Great concept! Maybe a top 3 per character each year I’d tune into that for sure give a bit more visibility to lesser known players and characters

Hahahaha TMM talking french is so funny "la côte d'ivoire" really apreciated it

People keep talking about Knee, but there is a tricky part. I mean, JDCR for example, picks Dragunov and plays the character the way that should be done. Now Knee picks a character and adapt it to his own play style, and only explore the moves whats he believes that could give him advantage. Obviously if Knee find an especific character for tournaments, he keeps playing for a while to get proper performance.

Sick concept, thanks!

Danielmado is a really specialized Leroy player. He uses parry outside setups to deal with things like Akuma`s jumping setups, SF3 Third Strike style

For Jin, it's difficult to pin down who's the best due to how they all play different styles. Within those styles you also have differences in their movement; there's stance cancelling, flicker, wavu-wavu, silly snake movement, etc. Aside from those you either have counter hit specialists, parry gods or whiff punishers, at least a combination of those. And within those there are who play very clean and safe or crazy and risky, or anything in between.

I think youjinboy should be mentioned for gigas! I loved seeing him play gigas..

I think best Lei is kelthu from Korea, super strong and unique player with a phenomenal Hwoarang too

I feel like I waited my whole life for this video, and never even knew it

I love the Unreal Tournament/Deus Ex music in the background.

i was scared u werent gonna mention Devilster for jin, also ryuk leonidas too.

Man I miss Jimmy. Seeing his matches was always so hype!

Oh, no worries, TMM, your long time viewers know full well who The Emperor is 😄

Multi should be mentioned as well. One of the best Bryan in the world, lot of complex execution of this character are his staples.. just watch his highlights in his yt channel.

personally i think there can be multiple best players. People are so obsessed with whoever the “best” is but the fact the theres people who trained them or really great candidates that you’ve never heard of that go unnoticed, it hard to determine who that is. Theres some cold ass players that don’t really compete or show up at scenes. Theres also players who do certain move sets differently or have a completely different style with each character that separates their playstyles from other “top players” but it adds a unique depth to the game knowing that you can play different ways with different characters.

Saint could of been mention for Jack , reckon ;) BrawlPro for King as well ;) Justice For Paul

When law comes up only two law players are worth mentioning who got strong fundamentals and win ratio. Malgu aka nameless king and double.

Very nice video idea. Well done 👍

Outside of LMG Mob, I can't think of anyone else who plays Lars competitively.

Dragnov is Noboi number 1. He was playing that character since tekken 6 or even before.

Awesome video concept I love this.

Woah!!! I need to find time to watch this!

Great video, i only think that Malgu should've been mentioned as one of the best Law players, but overall, great video

Nice topic. Kinda weird no one has talked about this. AK from the Philippines has to be one of the top 2 Shaheen players in the world. About Lee, I would say Lmyourfather is the best Lee player rn after placing 17th in Evo. Besides, FightingGM has probably retired now. In addition, FightingGM participated in more tourneys than Lmyourfather so it isn't really fair to compare GM's past tourney achievements vs Father, as Father competed rarely in tourneys even in Korea

Tekken is Knee so all of them.

Most optimal Jin is Devilster and when he gets a sponsor team he will definitely do bits. And for Devil Jin Qudans is clear by miles than knee. The only reason Devil Jin got nerfed was because Qudans showed how much potential the character had and how ridiculous it was.

No mention on Nobi san Dragunov? Damn that's a bit disrespectful seeing he beat Jdcr in a mirror match.

eyemusican's second main is kuni and we all know how insane eyemusican is, so for kuni i'd say eyemusican

Edddy did really well in tournaments with fahk for a while

Main man is sleeping on princess ling, on putting ling xiaou on the map. Even before cuddle core, p ling showed the xters viability in tag 2, Tekken six and Tekken 7 earlier seasons. He isn't active these days but certainly deserves a shoutout

It's either knee or whoever did the best against knee with the character

I think my top Lei players are Ahsan Ali, Akon, AllTimeZZZ, Suiken, and Bilal Kaka. I would struggle to order them, but those players have majorly helped me learn the character. Also shout out to PepperBeef2Spicy for a great tutorial on Lei, but I've not seen many actual games

MMS please do a tier list of top tier w**re players. It will be great banter. (Gen dumped Fak and went straight for Feng 1sec after the patch was made)

Mohsin Shooter is an excellent Lee player as well. Somehow nobody mentions him

Miguel = glaciating. Very strong player with relentless pressure with miguel

Alisa - Chanel Bryan - Knee (JimmyJ really close 2nd, Bilal could be too) King - Majin (MBC really close 2nd) Heihachi - JDCR Armor King - JDCR Devil Jin - Qudans Jin - Book Dragunov - tie between JDCR and Nobi Jack - Anakin (if Saint was still placing as well as he did before, he would be the Jack GOAT no contest) Paul - Knee (Anakin a pretty close 2nd) Ganryu - Saint Feng - Knee

Could you do the same video as this one. Only for online players?

I feel like brawlpro should be up there when it comes to proficiency with King

Heihachi belong to jdcr 100 percent true more so when I have seen matches from tag 2

Knee for all of em, if you disagree youre a scrupman

Does Hao no longer play? Surprised to not see him mentioned for Feng.

i saw a vid of fran fighting CBM back in season 2 and i was wondering how i had never heard of him before.

One Heihachi player from pakistan that has interesting setups and crazy execution is Aqeel Zahoor, he plays a lot against devilster. He doesnt do competitions unfortunately, although he said "soon"...

Saint jack, mbc king should be mention, help me has a strong lee lars paul law in ttt2 era. Only pratice Nina lars Leo. There are a lot of koreans players in old era the were nuts. Like light with hei/dvj. Abel del maestro with capos should be mention i think and just frame james with law/yoshi

Bruh, the legendary set between Knee and JDCR playing Feng vs Dragunov should have put Feng on the map.

Ryan Hart should be an honourable mention while talking about Kazuya

Nobi is the best Dragunov player that even JDCR wants to watch him play Drag again.

Sodam is the father of Ling Xiaoyu ❤️ He legit created Xiaoyu Sodam Petun!

There's this Korean Lei player called Wulongmomentum who has a super fast haha step. I dunno how strong he is but Knee was cracking up when he was facing him online lmao. The way this guy does Lei's haha step makes it look like he's having a seizure

For Anna, you haven't seen Qasim Mir. Same for ARC with Eliza, Ahsan Ali with Lei, Usman Ghani Nina, drag is Nobi, SA lost 10-0 vs Atif butt btw in Akuma mirror, Shahbaz Eagle Lily, Irtaza Xiayou, Qasim Mir Katrina and Josie,

When in doubt, it's probably Knee lol.

Honorable mentions: NOBI drag is more entertaining.. Joey fury Marduk is 2nd Eddy- spero gin and Abel del maestro Leo-way gamble and Bilal Josie- chickenmaru and black beard Bob- ROOKANG and NYC FAB Miguel-glaciating Eliza- joonya 20z Kazuya- kodee and Ryan hart Jack 7- Jackie tran, Saint, Joe crush Law- NYC FAB and RIP

Knee plays so many characters that you have to mention him because he uses them to counterpick his opponent .

NOW YOU CAN SAY ARSLAN ASH FOR KUNIMITSU

LTG gonna make 10 vids on MainMan after saying his name

It’s not fair with kazuya Boa + choksai + keiska + nene +knee there is lots of rang of kazuya players u forget to name them And it’s extremely hard to say the one name

Whats the playlist TMM is playing in the background?

Perfect God fist’s Kazuya is HELLA UNDERRATED🔥🔥🔥

Joey Fury plays a sick Marduk too tmm

Law - Malgu aka. The Nameless King

1:21 PFFT- I was not expecting that.

when it comes to Akuma and you mentioned Super Akouma, you should mention Book as well :P just kidding

I don't think gm for Lee is controversial at all tbh, you could maybe say father is better right now but gm is the goat as far as Lee is concerned no contest

Nobi wasnt mentioned for Dragonov, Big Majin wasnt mentioned for Lars, Saint WON and DOMINATED with Jack 7

Paul: i think that md_luffy from saud arabia need to be mentioned when we talk about paul

Back in the TTT 2 days, Woorusa and Hankuma were the best Panda/Kuma players.

I agree that Saint is the best Ganryu and JDCR is the best Armor King. That match they had as the echofox rematch was beautiful. But when it comes to Master Raven, I would argue Tissuemon as well. Shaheen has a lot of arguments here. Lowhigh, Gen, and you forgot AK. You can argue Saint with Jak. Yea, Bryan is definitely JimmyJTran. Jimmy gets the most out of the character. Josie would be Blackbeaed for me. Because Qudans is the greatest player of all time in Tekken, I have to give him D.Jin. it's just his character now.

Sodam is a fucking god on xiaoyu, nobody plays like him on this world

I love how he just pointed at himself 13:12

Great video big fella

I think for many people can argue but for me one's for sure; Qudans - D Jin

My list based on the matches I watched Kunimitsu: Ao Saint: Ganryu Zafina: Arslan Ash Julia: Mikio, Jeodding, Ranchu Marduk: Joey Fury, The Jon Geese: Chikurin, Khan Eliza: Kirakira Noctis: Phdix Armor King: Jdcr, Justin iglesias Lidia: Tetsu, Gen Drag: Jdcr, Nobi Hwo: Rest, Speedkicks Law: Double, Gosain Shaheen: LowHigh, Ak, Gen Akuma: Super Akouma, Awais Honey Kazuya: Boa Luvb, PerfectGodFist Heicachi: Jdcr, Joka Kazumi: Ulsan, Kkokoma Lili: Lili man, Kalak, Kashieca Lars: Lmg mob, binchang Jack-7: Anakin, Saint Lee: Fighting GM, iamyourfather Miguel: Sephiblack Bob: Rookang, Ulsan Bryan: Jimmijtran, Knee, Starbreaker King: Lil Majin, Puma, Brawlpro Steve: Knee, Heera Malik Paul: M-D-luffy-19, Knee, Joey Fury Josie: Pokchop Jin: Book, CBM, DanielMado Devil Jin: Qudans Claudio: Shadow_20z Asuka: Fergus Alisa: Chanel Leo: WayGamble Feng: Caiper, Joka, Geesemaster Eddy: Jeodding, Able de Maestro Panda: Rangchu

Chaoz and Complain also deserve mention, incredible Yoshimitsu players.

Another great Kuma player that should have gotten mentioned imho: Master of the Salmon

CBM has the best Jin IMO. Also, since nobody plays Devil Jin anymore, I'd like to remember CBM was also amazing with him. Too bad he dropped him.

Drag should be Nobi. & Heera is definitely #1 Steve but Taisei from Japan is worth mentioning too.

Shoutout to the Lee Chaolan segment!! An honest man 🔥

Glaciating is a very good Miguel player too and has a different playstyle compared to Sephiblack. Look up Sephiblack vs Glaciating if you haven't yet, it's basically defensive Miguel vs aggressive Miguel :)

Vouch for LuckyEevee as the best Lili player

Leroy is breadman from korea. Shaheen is Ak from philippines. Xiao yu is sodam from korea. Lee is imyourfather fron korea, he is the best lee right now. Paul is Justice from korea 1000%. If knee is included, it would be knee on every character. Knee should be an exception.

best feng should be hao he main him and jin during tekken tag 2 the death match between him and knee is always fun to watch. for nina leo and lars it has to be only practice. That guy is insane.

Devilster make the coolest combos with Jin!
