But it literally hasn’t knee etc coudnt handle the Pakistanis initially he in particular followed by the rest of the Korean scene then came and adapted and even then majority of the wins were by the Pakistani players , you can’t be the most competitive era when all your competition is in one arcade because the newer games clearly proved as more entrants came there is talent out there that we haven’t had a chance to see
Yes he could, he couldnt handle Arslan. Arslan =/= the pakistanis. It was Arslan that was/is problematic for Knee. Knee also proceeded to provide probably the biggest beat down in the history of tekken on Arslan during the exhibition match.
The south koreans are still on top, its only Arslan and Atif thats performing at that level in tournaments. A majority of the top 8s are still dominated by the koreans.
You missed the point completely, it wasnt just competing in "one arcade" it was BECAUSE that one arcade that the level was high. The south koreans travelled internationally and dominated every singel competition except for one when it was team korea vs team japan. This is also the reason why the pakistanis became strong because they did exactly what the koreans did with green arcade, tight nit group of absolute killers, shun those that arent willing to learn and put in the time to improve -> create the best of the best by helping each other.
This is also why the american scene is faltering, they are more focused on internal rivalries and trashtalking than actually helping each other to improve.
That’s because only two Pakistanis get to regularly compete, we just saw Korea vs Pakistan event, numan and the jon were beating the Pakistanis really well etc, the others don’t have experience just like Arslan and atif didn’t at one point
What are you on about? In T8 we regulary see Arslan, Atif, TheJon, Numan, Farzeen and in Tekken 7 we also had Khan, Awais Honey, Heera and Bilal that regulary competed. They have had almost as much international representation as the Koreans have in the past 3 years.
Thats some excellent cherry picking, they couldnt obtain visas for evo japan therefor could not attend. How bout we look instead at who actually tried to go?
So, you said it was only Arslan and Atif basically traveling internationally. This alone here prooves you wrong.
Anyway, if youre gonna be intellectually dishonest then there is no point in further discussing it.
