 Tekken as a franchise is no stranger to having some of the most iconic characters in all the fighting games, but there's always been one that just stuck out more than any other character. I'm of course referring to King. Now, even though I've always liked this character, I'm terrible at the game, so I never really gave him a shot. But since I've been playing Tekken anymore, I figured why not at least give him a try in some online ranked matches and see what I can get done. If you like these Tekken videos, definitely make sure to leave a like, and let me know who else you want to see me play down below in the comments. For our first match of the King video, we've got a King Mirror match. Oh, he's in a damn looking good, my fellow King. Now, oh, hold on. Whoa, whoa, bro. I know you. I know why I know you knew it like that. I know you knew it like that. Hey, man, I've been mostly practicing like buns and stuff. Give it up. That's what I was practicing. Hold on. Block this low. Block this second low. He's good. He knows everything I know. But I got to get one more hit in them. I got to get one more. Hit. Block this low. Block this second low. Oh, double low kick. I didn't learn that one yet. I don't know what move that is. That was the move I was getting smoked by by that other King. I'm not even going to lie. Heck that. Nope. Did not take that. Get up. Let me hit this grab. From down. Block this low. Block this high kick. Oh, you got that one. I got to give him a heat gauge on. Let me get the heat gauge on. Hold on. Dash in. Get this grab. Oh, so you saw that coming, huh? You saw that coming, huh? Oh, god. Oh, it's all over. Actually, I messed it up because I didn't know what combo to go for. But I'll take the drop kick. I didn't know if I should go for the grab damage, or because if he was closer to the wall, I should go for something more extravagant. Hey, I did that same move. I'm mad we're doing the exact same stuff. Only I'm not. We're doing the exact same stuff, only I'm not. I don't look as handsome while doing it, man. He's got that. Oh, he's got the. He's got the drive cancel. How much damage is this? Oh, it wasn't that much. Let me at least get my heat gauge on. Oh, I got smoked. All right, we can still make the comeback, though. We can still make the comeback. This king clearly knows what he's doing. Oh, whoa, whoa, get off me. Give me that grab. No, oh, I did the hop kick too. And I'm trying to fish. Give me that. Oh, I didn't get it. Oh, that's it. No, take the grab. King, the grab. No way I messed that up that many times. But I surely I don't lose for this. Surely I don't lose for this. I'm going to lose for this. No, I'm not. I'll take the low. But damn, that was close. I should have lost for that. Final round. What's going to happen? Oh, that should have been easy punish. Oh, I'm crazy. Like that. Oh my god. Oh, big splash. Oh, that's big damage. Take this low. Take this low. Take this hop kick. OK. Do whatever. In your damn hop kick. He might be toast. Cameraman didn't even catch the action. He was behind him. But I'll take the win. And because he's a dammit, what's crazy is I think this guy knows how to play. But he just started playing. So I'm not going to get a lot of points off him. Can we get to the green in this video? I'm trying to get to my green rank. My king is still pretty bad. But hey, I just I'm here to learn. You know, I'm here for a good time. No, punish that. OK, hop kick this. Yes. That was not the combo. I'll take it. Give me that. Oh, nice. Oh, hop kick. He should have it here. Oh, my god. Whoa, bro. They didn't teach me that one. See, I knew it, bro. I'm going to have to go out here on the YouTube tutorial streets. Game didn't teach me that one. I want this counter hit so bad. I need this counter hit so bad. Oh, that's a whiff low. Oh, my god. Give me that. Oh, no. Really? Really? No. All right, 2-0. But I feel like I can come back. I feel like it's still possible. You know, anything's possible. I just want to try to check them. You know, I want to try to see if I can get that counter hit. Damn, I'm not taking these. They're ready. Oh, that was my counter hit. Just give me a tack. My god. Is this the difference between a Tekken 8 tutorial king and an actual king? I can't believe it. But we still have one more set, though. That's the thing is we still have one more set. And I'm not even at the rank where I lose points for losing. So, you know, I'm just out here smiling through it all. I can't believe this is my life. All right, but I do want to win. I do want to win. I feel like that's not going to happen at this current stage. Give me that grab. Take this low. I did not get the low. No, dude, what is this? Oh, get off of me. OK. OK, this run-up grab shot is very effective on me. Where are you trying to go? I'll be there. I'll be there. Run up. Hop kick. Oh, I could have easily killed. Oh, the crouch. He knew I wanted to throw. All right, that was pretty smart. Low. No, hop kick. He knows the combo, bro. I got to try to copy that route. That route clearly is more optimal than my easy one. No, no, no, no, no, no. That route looks so much better than the one I'm using. I'll try to point it out when I go for the one I use. No, again, I'm getting thrown. Oh, thrown again. He's just going for throws. He's just trying to show off now. He's just trying to show off. I got to give me that. No, no, no, no. He, I didn't want to add that to my favorites. Damn. Well, I feel like I got to learn from that, but I don't. I needed to see that combo route one more time. All right, let's get into the next match. OK, back with game two up against Akazia. 65,000 presents. I'm not really sure what to make of that. Oh, my God, I'm messing that up. Wow, again. There we go. Finally, I'm doing my baby route right at least. Wow, we're doing pretty OK. I'm not going to lie. I was sweating a little bit, but I'll take that. See, that king had me sweating a little bit, had me thinking maybe I didn't do my homework, but I'm still a training mode extraordinaire king. Let's not lie about it now. I'm still a training mode extraordinaire. OK, what? The thing is, I still need to learn like any actual corner combo. Give me that grab. What are you trying to grab me for? Get up. Hop kick. Boom. Get him out of here. Get him out a little more of a hop knee. I'm not sure if it counts as a hop kick, but there we go. I could have done so much more. So when he gets a counter hit off that, what does he do? Because I would just run up and grab like this. I saw, hey, I saw him play with the menu. You trying to, oh, he was getting me with this. All right, I'll take it. Watch the cut scene. I feel like these cut scenes are a little too long for my taste. They do look really amazing. They're like, look at that effect, man. Damn, this game is next gen as hell. Hop knee. One, two, three. I just wanted to end it like that. Is that such a crime to want to end it like that? Hey, three wins. Is that going to get us into the green? Not quite. Not quite. A few more wins ought to do. I still want to get my rematch in. Nope, we don't. All right, nine Dan versus five Dan. We got a, oh, big opening for us. Grab this man king. Talk to him, low block that. Oh, I wanted to get greedy though. Oh, do it to him again. Why not? I'm just not sure what the corner combo would be the grab note. Low, I'll take the low. You can't back away. That's got some range to it. That's got some range. I do have a quicker load. Do I go for a, I thought it would work. Oh yeah, give me that. Give me that big damage. You don't get to click a button. Oh, let me get my counter hit. Don't let me get my counter hit now. Get up, hop, oh God. Oh, I'll sweep the leg. I got a little bit scared there. I'm not going to lie. All right, we're pretty much just playing training mode king though. Oh, big, big time. I didn't get the right thing though. Low. Oh wow, I'm getting comboed now. He's got me right where he wants me. Let me go into heat mode. Let me go into heat mode. Yeah, punch that. Punch that, bro. Okay, he kind of smoked me that round. I think he might have punched me 80 times in the chest. Oh, big time. Oh, could have been a big time combo if I didn't mess it up. Oh, triple kick, quadra kick. Big time, big time. How are you not dead? How are you actually alive? How are you actually alive? Oh my God, he regents some health too and he got me into super. How did I actually let him live there? Lock on? I've never seen this cut scene. Damn, just sharring on? Oh my God, I can't believe how close it is. What's the get out of jail? Free cut. I should not have done that. Should not have done that. Now it's a 1v1 to see who wins. Let me just go into heat. Okay. I'll take it. No, I wanted the low two. I wanted the low two. Damn, combo started low. All right, I'll take the trade, I guess. I'm not happy with it. Not happy with it at all. I feel like that was a set we could have won but I threw away. Leave me alone, bro. Leave me alone. Raph! All right, hold on. Let me get my revenge. That's crazy. I feel like that was a winnable set for me and I choked it all away. Perhaps he might have also adapted. I've only got a few tricks in the toolkit. I'm not gonna lie. I need to get more crap. Ironically, this is a round that I really need to be able to pull off the strat of the crouching like that move right there. But I need to be able to do it much, much quicker. Armor up, dash in. I had the combo for that. No, I knew the combo for that too and I threw it away. We would have had him on the wall. Here we go, get him in the combo. Throw this guy. Get him on the ground. Run up, low. Nope. I should have stayed down. I had him blocked too. Oh, he has my number now. Somebody get my number off this guy's phone. Round start. Okay. Just need a little bit of damage here. Let's go. Big damage. Let's go. That was clutch. That was clutch. We needed a round like that. We needed that. Dropped combo again is never a feels good moment for me. What am I doing? Give me that. Give me that. Where's my big splash though? Oh, give me that. Give me that, big grab. Yes. I knew he wouldn't block. I knew he would block low. I just felt it in my bones. Oh my God, this is a match. Oh, give me that. No splash though. Right one. No, I'll take it though. I'll take it. It's to come back and steal a win. That's gonna get me in a brawler for sure. I'll take it. The first time in brawler. Look, it's green now. I feel like we earned that. Did we get the rematch? That was a good game. I need to do that some more. My combos are just, they're just a little too poor though. I feel like if my execution was better, we could have gotten a cleaner win. Round start is definitely the big deciding factor in these matches though. I need a good round start if I'm gonna win. I feel like he's gonna click a button. There we go. Huge. Give me the big splash, man. I'm not getting my combo. I need to do something now. It was risky. Yes. I'm just mashing. I'm just actually mashing. It's fine. That was a bad round. I was just hoping for a miracle. I thought if I landed that, maybe the tides would shift in my favor. Oh, I tried to go for a hopkick right there. I'm down. Give me the heat. Give me the heat. Oh God, I'm dead. I'm dead. Two O already. Hold on. Hold on, cause I can't go out like that. Hold on, cause I can't go out like that. There we go. Running one. Oh, come on. Oh, what are we hopkicking for? Because sometimes it works. Because sometimes it does work. And I'm just mashing it out. I'm mashing it out. He's gotta respect the full button press or come with something better than that. Oh, running one. Yep. Let's go. Ah. Is there a button after that? Boom, big wrap. Let's go, running one. Keep messing that up, but I'll take it. Hide, Winder. It's final round. We actually made the comeback happen. Let's go, running one. I don't know what to do after that, man. Oh, he's playing patient now. Give me that wrap. Oh, give me that big splash final. He's gonna block the low. Wrap. It's over. It's all over. The reverse three, I'll come back. We managed to piece it together by the skin of our teeth. Talk, you're shaking. Get the mic out. Growl and do it. All right, I'll take it. Now I'm hyped. Now I gotta keep going. Okay, so the combo I was trying to do should look like this. Running one, bah, bah, ah, ah. And then run up and grab. Okay, good. Got it, got it, got it. Another King mirror match? This guy's better than me though. Oh no, we look exactly the same, dude. I can barely tell who's who. I'm the one on the left. I'm the one on the left. So you know you gotta respect me. Oh, he grabbed me. Oh my God, it was easier to tell. It was easier to tell who was who when it was. I can't tell. I literally can't tell. I'm the one winning right now. The reason I wanna go into heat is because, oh, I had the combo for that too. There we go. Come on, let me click some buttons then. I might not rematch this just because it's, it's a little too confusing. I think if you're not one of the King's play, hold on. I mean, let's be honest, I say that, but I gotta respect my fellow King players out here. Block low, thank you very much. Get over the, get over the edge. Oh, I thought that might be the best bet. Oh, do I get a, do I see a counter hit in my future? I'm just blocking that, hold on. Hey, come with me real quick. Bye bye. Okay, next match. This could be the final one if we, if we put it away here. Big counter hit. Right there, big splash. Nice. Training mode King. Pop kick. Not good enough. Oh, I take that. Whoa, he had a follow up grass. See, there's so much stuff I don't know. I'm getting cooked right now. I'm getting cooked right now, stop. Oh my God, he blew up the tractor trailer on me. Oh my God. That was just not cool, man. Hop kick. Oh, he did hop kick. So what, what decided that I lost then? Just, just, just asking. Oh, he's, oh, I could have done so much more. How do I miss that? How do I miss that? I'm getting steam achievements. Oh, please tell me you hit a button, man. I understand, I understand, I understand. But you let me live? But you let me live? Did you think it was over? Cause it's not, it's never over. Block the low, block the low. And I forgot King can do more. I never learned that move. I did it by accident at one time. I've never learned. Are we choking? Oh no, he got the counter hit. He got the counter hit. No, no, no. No, the choke. No, the choke job. The choke job was crazy. Yeah, let me get that rematch. No, the choke was crazy. Up two rounds and I lose. Oh my God. I want to learn that low kick move two times. He knows it's my weakness now. Oh my God. I haven't got a hit in. Oh my God. Well, I just, he's, he's got my number now. Dude, people just adapt in this game. I had hop kick. I went with a jab. I got to break it. I don't know how to break it. I got to, I got to try to come back from that. Oh, I thought I had him. What if it's like a mirror? What if he, what if I'm him? What if, what if that's it? What if he got a reverse two? Oh, now it's my turn. That could be it. That could be it. Let's not put that out. How do you do it, man? How do you do it? Adam. Oh, really bad. Oh, doubly bad. No, no. Let's go. Give me the next round. I, I, I need to go again, dude. I need to go again. I'm close to winning. All right. So I know I said I was going to win, but this is a much higher ranked player, 95,000 Tekken prowess, which you've got to respect. Oh, give me that though. Hold on. I could have done a lot more. Oh, I try to crouch there. I try to crouch and go in the offensive. I'm not going to lie. Oh, go stupid. Give me the grab. Okay. I, I understand. Oh, running one. I got the combo at least. That in itself is growth. Ah, nice low. Man, imagine if I low parried that, I would have been an actual Tekken player, dude. All right, you deserved it. Give me that. Give me the grab. Oh, I'll take the big damage. All right. Oh my God, he does huge damage. Huge damage, dude. Damn. Can I go, can I, can I, can I get one win? I think he just sent me to the moon. My God. I don't know why I responded with hopkick, but let's be honest, it was out of fear. Oh, I'm not getting, nope. I got, the thing with me, I'm still learning the heat system. I'm not sure what the best way to get into heat would be other than just clicking the heat button or dashing. Like I think has a dash move that I do sometimes. Like, let's, let's do it right here. Give me that. I'll take that every day of the week. Oh, actually gets the win. My God. See, I got to stop actually stepping on people after that because I feel like some people try harder way after seeing that they're like, oh, you disrespect me. No, bro, I just, I like to keep my hands warm, bro. That's, I didn't mean no disrespect, but I just keep my hands warm. Oh, I'm not taking that, bro. I thought, oh my God. That was a lot of, that was a lot of hits directly. I never would have thought he would have committed that much. I'll kick them, I'll kick them away. Wow, that sidestep is nuts. Getting bounced around again, the big combos. Tried for the kick, but it just didn't work out. I feel like if I can get a nice crouching, maybe I can win. Oh my gosh. Oh my God. Okay, I got a block. Let's go. No, I'm hit. I'm dead. I'm smoked. Oh, and I really wanted to rematch that too. Oh, I hate that I can only get two rematches. Please let me go again. All right, on to the next one. Another King mirror match. Okay, but this one at least is very easy to tell that's a part. Damn, the King mirror match does go crazy. I feel like everybody loves King. All right, let me get my counter hit though. One thing I'm very happy about with that whoring match is that we did hit the combo off the crouching too, which I think is again, it's something I was trying to work on. So I'll take it as a win. Oh my gosh. Big throw is going to be a lot. Oh my God. You know what? I'm going to admit it. I don't even know how to do that throw. No splash. Wow, that does a lot of damage. That was the dash up by the way. I got that combo sometimes. Hold on, you're not blocking. Hop kick into the grab, hold that. Sit down low. Okay, hop kick. Nope. Oh no. I can't get a little counter hit out of you. Oh, you got one out of me. Oh, you definitely got one out of me. Big damage. Okay. Nope, take that. Grab, where are you going? Is he trying to do what I'm trying to do? Ha, ha, ha. Give me the grab. Armor up. It's over. Hit him with the heat attack. That's going to take off a little bit more health. Now we just need one more to get the big dub. Give me that counter hit, man. I want that counter hit so bad. You give me that counter hit. I will make it splash. I promise you that I'm getting cooked. What move was that? Oh, the low. I could have low parried that. I could have low parried that. Oh, give me the big start into the grab. Touch. Block this. Block this part two. Hold on. I got to make him block. Open the goddamn window. Open the goddamn window. Open it up. I, oh, wait, hold on. Oh, what combo is he got? Why am I on, wait, hold on. When did I get on special style? Open the goddamn, I'm getting cooked. Okay, I was trying to go for the heat victory, but let me, let me stop. We're blocking that, bro. And now I got to, oh, hold on. Whoo. I was going to say now I got to finish him off with the heat victory, but I'll take that instead. Like it? Just one rank up, man. Let me get one rank up. I want to win this rematch, do one more match, and at least rank up. That's all I'm looking for. Round one's going to start again. I'm just trying to play it nice and slow here. I'm not sure what that is. Let me get a low and then a hop kick. Take that. Ah, he's going to break my arm. Oh no. What is this, bro? I don't, king player's always trying to do the most, man. Always trying to do the most. Block this. I'm just going to mash. Yeah, no, man. Just make it a one-stop shop. Oh God. Oh God. Hop kick. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, did somebody say counter hit? Did somebody say it? I got to know. Did somebody say it? Hold on, because we know how I'm going to win this. Dash, boom. Oh, but then I know how I'm going to win this. I'm just going to jab, jab, jab, jab. If I only need one hit, I'm just going to jab it out. Round two, this time I'm going to start with hop kick. I knew. Don't ask me why, but I knew it was going to work. Give me that. Go low. Give me that. Go high. Yep. Oh God, he called a shot. He take that. Oh, we could have won right there. Give me that. Ah, that would have gone into the heat dash anyway. We were probably winning that regardless. I'm just going to, let me just start it off with some heat mix. That was the wrong combo. That was the wrong combo. This is going to kill me. I need to learn how to do that. Oh, I'm getting, I'm getting cloud with these grabs. No, please tell me I broke that. Thank you. Wake up. Wake up. Hold on. Yeah, you want some more? Yeah, you want some more? How did you grab me? Oh, slow mo. I tried to wake up kick. Do I hop kick here? I thought, I mean, I think it technically should have worked. Oh, counter hit. Oh, counter hit. I should just be able to run over him. Oh God, he actually grouched that. I'm out. No, man. No, man. He's angry. He wants it. Come here. You want to grab so bad? You want to grab so goddamn bad? Come here. Come here. Come here. You want to grab so goddamn bad? Oh, no, man. I'm breaking out of that. How am I not breaking out of this? How am I not breaking out? How am I not breaking out? Ha, ha. I don't know how to break out of that. You caught me. Okay. You exposed me. Oh, no. Now he's going to win. He's emboldened. He's emboldened by the grab, man. He's so emboldened by it. He should be. That was sick. Oh God, man. Please. Oh, no. Got hit by the heat move and got washed. Damn. Now I got to go again. I can't cancel because then I'd look like a. Oh, my wrist. My wrist. Let me get this window. I need this now. All right. That's fine. Oh, why did I dash up into that? Hey, get off me. Give me the grab. That's game. Nice. All right. Give me round one. God, this guy is going to kill me if I'm not careful. Let's go. Right one. Give me that. I'm very happy with the consistency of that combo now. Very happy. I feel like every time we get it, I'm pulling it off. You know, it is a pretty forgiving combo. I will say. So there is that. Oh, no, man. How do you break this? Somebody tell me how you break this. Yes, that's how I just matched one grab. So the side switch. We were getting goofy with it. No, no, I'm freaking out, man. I'm freaking out. I need to win. No, no, I'm trying to cheese you. It's true. I am trying to cheese you, but you have to let it happen. You have to let it happen. You have to let it happen, King. You have to let it. No, no. No, no more. No more. Fight back, bro. No grabs. King player. Oh, I block low at the last second. That was tragic. I'm mashing. Let's go. I'll take it. That was scary, but I'll take it all day, every day, baby. All right. It's another, another warring. So it gives me a chance to kind of make up for my pitiful performance here. Let's go running one and I dropped it, but that's fine. You know, we've hit it more often than not. I can't, I can't be too sad. I want to try to get as many of those off as possible though. Oh, no. Big drop again. Hold that. The crouch is so good, bro. You got to, you got to throw some mids in there to stop me. Hop kick. Yep. I knew it. Now I'm just going to run over him. Because I got to play my game. I got to play my game. Up there it is. There's the low. There's the low. And that's a, that's a good one too. Running grab. How's my knee taste? Running grab again. OK, running one. And then boom. Ask for the KO. That's practice just makes perfect there. Practice makes perfect. We had to practice that one. Oh, OK. You got me. You got me. He's got me back into a corner, but I don't care. I'm king. Oh, he's still alive. Long low. There we go. Next, as in next game. Can we get the Ranger? I feel like if we win, we might actually do it. Is it a promo match? Hold on. It'll probably tell us. Oh, it's not a promo match, but it is for him. Come on, man. You got to give me something. Oh, that should, that should count. Honestly, that should count as that. I can't get my move to go off. There we go. Running one. And I forgot the combo. Oh, low parry. Oh, it wasn't on purpose, by the way. Oh God. I'm going to do something that I haven't done all video. I'm going to mash Rage Art. Oh, I haven't even seen this Rage Art yet, so I might as well enjoy it. Throw in big grab. And then a little cut scene just to make it dramatic. Big time, maybe big time. You got to respect it. Let's go. Oh, hold on. It's too cool. It's too cool. This might be the king perfect. I was just running all over him. Do it again. Oh, punish that. Nice. Crouch. Grab him. Nice. Love that for me. Block that Rage Art. I mean, take his heat attack. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. And you block the grab, though. You can't block grabs, for question. Low parry. Let's go. How come I didn't get my low? I tried that kick twice and didn't get it. All right, round four. This is a little bit scary. I'm not going to lie. I would have rather finished this up pretty quick. Let's go. Close to the wall. Let's keep that pressure. I was doing it. I was doing the low the wrong way, I say. Block that. Do the heat myself. Probably could have done that way better. Them heat attack to win. And the cut scene still plays. No. All right, well, it wasn't a rank up, but we were close. Hopefully you enjoyed the video. I've been down annoying. Check out some of the other videos. And I need to get better at Tekken, man. I'm still bad.
