 Trying to get better at Tekken 8 has been a grueling journey, but I've never been closer to reaching the red ranks than right now, and I'm hoping today might finally be my day. So with that said, I'm not gonna waste any more time, I'm hopping in with King into some rank matches just to try to get that oh-so coveted red rank. First match of the day, we're going up against Kuma, so this is, uh, oh, and he's wearing a black t-shirt, dude, it's over. Black t-shirt and sunglasses, yeah, we're cooked. Except we're not, chain grab off the start, you know I had to go bigger, go home. Three, can you break it? Then I'm gonna have to hit you with the fourth grab. Get him up out of here, run in, no, back up. Oh, I golfed me. Uh, uh, uh, grab? Oh, you're not ready for the grab? Well, then I gotta put you in the dirt. Uh, let me get this low, oh, never mind. Your Kuma, I forgot that, I forgot your Kuma, I gotta respect that. Alright, check him, check him, check him twice! I've gotta make sure you're willing to block, if you're not, then I've gotta punish you for it. Now I will sidestep, that was not a sidestep chain grab, that was me going at the key, key, key charge. Hey, all right, why do I always click a button against Kuma, like I'm about to do something? Stand up. Oh my God, RKO out of nowhere, wrestling fans, you've got to be happy, I'm saying the names right now. I responded to the comments, I saw you guys roast me for that, so we're gonna mix it up, hit him with a something different. Oh, wow, that was crazy. Oh my God, oh my God, he's crazy, bro, he's just, he's just a bear. Once you win grab, thank you very much, I think we've got that every time, so until that doesn't work, I am just gonna keep doing that. Why am I, I'm still clicking buttons on his wake up, like that's gonna get me anywhere. Oh my God. Oh my God, when do I get to play? When do I get to play? All right, I'll play right now, I'll play right now, heat move. Now watch as I space this, and then I hit the button, he's gonna hit jab right here. Oh wait, miscalculation, had a bit of a miscalculation there. Do I start with a hop kick? Does that work? It does. Wow, hop kick round star, you know I can't be that mad about it. Step back, no. All right, how about this, if you crouch, I'm gonna tell the whole world that you crouch, oh, don't crouch, don't crouch, I'm begging you not to crouch. Once you win grab, don't crouch, I'm begging you, oh, don't crouch. If you crouch, if you, oh my God, why did I even bother trying to do anything? All right, well we are in kind of some dire straits here. Grab, check, oh no, I'm not trying to, oh you crouched, and I hit a button. Oh my God, I don't know what to do, he's just going crazy, he's literally just going crazy, I don't think he respects me. Counter hit, that could have been so much more, but I'll take it. Don't ever try to hit me. Oh my God, oh my God, you know I gotta go crazy now. RKO I don't know, nope, I actually hit the wrong button, but I'll take the legs, I'll take the legs and I'll just take what I can get into a big win. 300 points, is this going to be the video where we hit red rank? Spoilers, probably not, but I hope, I'm saying that like this first match wasn't a brutal grind, dude, and he is too chill, bro. Honestly, I'm hitting him in my picnic basket, but that's just me, let me roll back, like that was going to do anything. All right, let me get up, all right, all right, all right, all right, bro, come on, stop. That was not supposed to be a hop kick, I think we all understand that, I think we all know it was supposed to be this, stand up, RKO, let's do that again, huh, RKO, I would never do it three times, that's just, that's just childish of me to do it three times. All right, I did hit heat, yep, I'm not dead, I'm not dead, and I still have heat, so we could still pretty much easily win this, I don't know if he has anything other than fish rockets, but he would need like a fast hitting low or something, because I'm going all in, oh my goodness, yeah, he probably shouldn't have done that, but I can understand why he was feeling the big time hop kick, nope, but I go over his head though, what does Bear do, like I don't even, like to be honest, I don't even know what I'm going up against, so it's a little hard to, what was that, did he just like wave dash it, oh my god, I mean, what was I supposed to do, Tekken just be like, Tekken is honestly like, someone who described this pretty well in the comments on the last Tekken video, but Tekken just feels like Yu-Gi-Oh, bro, it's just first season of Yu-Gi-Oh, it's like people make stuff up, when you don't know how to play Tekken, it just is the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh, like yeah, of course he had a sweep that did that, of course, like he had that the whole time, that's what it does, I'm just checking him, I'm just checking him nice and easy here, does he go low here, nope, just into a grab, now he goes low, I can't get up, sit down, sit down right now, right now, young man, you need to sit down, my goodness, no respect for his elders, I'm just going to armor up, so did he, well what if I do it now, okay, oh, I thought I'd pop them one in the mouth, electrics, okay, okay, you got those pretty fast, pretty fast stuff, all right, so you're gonna get a perfect, so what, so what, so what if you get a perfect, in fact, you're not gonna get one, in fact, you're not even gonna win the match, because I'm going crazy, okay, you got it, you got it, you got it, is what you thought, huh, you just thought you had it, you thought it was over, you thought I was gonna sit here and lose, Jaguar stepped back, oh my god, I popped the one in the mouth, GG, I can't believe I lost, I honestly thought I just had it in the bag and I just slipped up, I didn't get my animation too, whoa, the lag into the no lag low, that was crazy, I honestly respect it, check this guy, armor, yeah, I kind of thought you throw some armor in, all right, how about this, blue spark, oh, I didn't get my input, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, that kind of sucked, no, brother really thought he was gonna get some free load there, he thought he was just gonna get a free round win off me, I can't really allow that to be, oh my god, so many points, put me to the mid of eliminator, oh, we're kind of in eliminator, oh, please, at least, you know, if this isn't the red promo video, please don't let this be a demotion video, yo, is that Lars? I really wanna learn how to play Lars pretty bad, 16, damn, what rank is that? I didn't check the ranks, honestly, Shinryu, okay, so, you know, I've played against the Shinryu once or twice, this guy's making stuff up, dude, I don't know how to explain it, but this guy's making stuff up, Shining Wizard, I would never instant Shining Wizard if that's what you're working, what the, oh my god, damn, does he know, does he go low? Yes, he does, it doesn't matter, I can't just let him do whatever he wants, I think I'm in trouble, no, the lightning dive kick, I was going for like a cheap little combo, let me hit this chain grab real quick, let me hit this chain grab real quick, okay, we're not gonna get that, oh wow, into a grab, heat attack, slam him down, I could have done so much more, big foot, bam, he's gonna go low, yup, yup, come on, I know, when you got that little bit of health left, you want it, oh no, yep, okay, it's not looking too good, boys, what do I do that can just make a statement win here, just armor up, that's what I'm feeling, okay, don't let him get anything cheap, there we go, that was pretty cheap, armor up, stand at his face, never mind, we get launched, probably should have done something a little more calm, a little more casual, okay, I know this is looking over, but at least, let's go, how does that not punish, all right, all right, we got three of, that's, you know, it's fine, that guy was, this guy is clearly a little better than us, but not so much better that I think it's impossible to win, if we get random enough, we could win, oh god dude, okay, check him, check him, check him, check him, no, check this guy, oh, the sidesteps, I don't know, I don't know what to do to keep this guy in place, come off it, man, come off it, man, let's go, one, two, one, grab, take the cheap damage, oh damn, all right, just armor up, armor up, get him out of my face, oh, where you jumping to, I told you we were gonna get random with it, I told you we were gonna get random, down right, disgusting, go ahead, crouch, go ahead, crouch for me, off, I just had a little more time in heat, if I just had a little more time in that heat gauge, man, I could have done, I probably could have cheesed out a little round one victory, go low, go low for me, oh no, that's not low, go low for me, okay, I just didn't know when it was safe, oh, defense is so hard and Tekken, one, two, one, grab and it actually goes off, I know it was kind of just, we cheesed him out there, I could have done so much more, mix ups, power bomb, yes, RKO, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's RKO, okay, look, old habits die hard, especially in the clutch, I think we all know that, oh god, so many lows, oh no, why am I, a jumping jab, that's how it ends, a jumping jab, I don't even know how I got that input out, man, damn, not the demotion, oh, see this is what I was worried about, fellas, and here's the demotion arc, oh, it's Maki, damn, we cosplaying, hold on, I gotta chain grab, Maki watch out, oh my goodness, she needs a stronger heavenly restriction, Maharaga saved me, get him up against the wall, all right, let me, let me get them toes real quick, let me get them, side step, side step, side step, hop kick, wow, okay, well, all right, I've changed, I've changed my stance, I won't be doing any of that, I won't be doing any of that, instead get off me, jumping grab, I keep getting that input instead of my, my thing, wow, how did that still work, what, it still goes off, he an attack, it's too good, we cheese out a free round, insane, round two, you know I'm just gonna start with armor because they're pissed, they're definitely pissed, I understand that, give me that, chain grab, Maki, oh my god, you gotta break out of it, you've never seen Jujutsu like this, all right, all right, hey, that's fine, that's all good, I'm blocking this every day of the week, I'm blocking this every day of the week, but can you block the arc, oh, you crushed it, that was equally as good, okay, okay, pretty impressive stuff, okay, you got some lows on you, okay, now I'm going in, okay, you got a, you got a heat attack too, oh no, so much, so much, why does that cost heat, oh, I could have done so much better, no, no, the walls, dear god, the walls, okay, all right, hey, it's all good, we just gotta win one round, okay, it's looking not so all good, oh wow, what a side step, I gotta just, I gotta just take advantage of that, one, two, one, grab, maybe I'm overthinking this game a little bit, maybe I'm overthinking this, okay, we'll take some cheap damage, okay, I like it, I like it, all right, so we've slowed the pace of the game down a little bit here, oh, free grab, no, that's a grab, damn, one, two, oh, chain grab, how did you break that, I was behind you, oh, it's gonna be dicey, this is looking a little too hard to come back from, oh, no, oh, armor up, but it's not over, it's not over, it's looking a little over now, wait, wait, a huge chance, give me your legs, oh my goodness, no, wait, when the motion was knocking at the door, we just stand strong, and was it cheesy, yes a little bit, was it our greatest round ever, no it wasn't, but I still am in the rank, now do I hop, kick, round, I'm thinking I don't ever try that again in my life, oh, put them in the dirt, come on, give it a grab, all right, all right, so you crouch, you crouch, so you're gonna make me expose to everybody that you crouch, because normally I would never do that, oh, normally I would never do that, oh, crouch, thank you, why, why would I have a little bit of heat left and they have a little bit of life, do I not just go for the mix, armor up, instantaneously, I think it's just smart, crouch, okay, I could be doing much more, okay, there's the crouch again, I don't have a lot of heat left, if I have a chance I'm gonna definitely, well, oh, you can't just throw out buns like that, Maki, you can't do it, you can't do it, oh, another grab, all right, but they do have their heat attack, so we're just gonna kind of wait it out here, wow, you have a move that kind of looks like both, check them, check this, check it out, check it out, down forward one, I'm just gonna be spamming it, let's try some armor, into the RKO, oh, it's big time, I would never do it again though, except I'm lying, I totally would and I plan on doing it soon, all right, oh, there it is, there it is, I've only got a little bit of juice left and it's out of time, when do I crouch right now, when do I crouch right now, okay, right now, oh, that was big time, okay, I did duck, accidentally, no, I should have just done something, hold back, oh, no it doesn't work, oh, where's my, where's my reaction time bros, if I just hit one there it's just a different ball game, hold on, still a little bit of time, oh, nice reaction, nice react, I'll give it up, oh, come on, chain grab, no, no, no, we need chain grabs here, no, no, why am I, why am I just saying, all according to plan, all according to plan, all according to plan, all according to plan, we're fine, we're fine, we're fine, we're fine, I can't believe she escaped that much, all right, oh god, do rounds of peace, I kind of need to go 2-0 here, I'm not gonna lie, let's go, big opening, 1-2-1 grab, thank you very much for the chip damage, we're just gonna put her in the mix now, crouch, no crouch, RKO gives us a little bit of heat back, we're not gonna risk anything, we're just, it's over, it's over, perfect for king to end the round, and that's how you need to do it to keep a Limitator Rank around here, that's gonna get us to almost halfway through the rank, can we make it to red ranks, another Limitator Rank has entered the lobby and they're on a promo match too, they're trying to get to red ranks, unfortunately if, if I want to succeed I have to be the, I have to be the end of his story, I have to be the bad guy, oh no but he's got his victor launcher bro, it's his victor, I'm really not trying to be out here against victor like that, oh god, I don't, what's the tech on that, what's the tech on that, I can't be exposed, I can't, what did I hit a button, I thought I was just trying to get up man, well this is his round for sure, pull back, oh god, no take that, how do you take that, how do you take that, I need to know, comment section I need your help, okay well we'll let him have his low, I mean okay he likes crouching, he like, okay so this grab is gonna expose me for being very fraudulent here in a second, don't you ever use moves like that ever again, get off the ground, give me your legs, okay so you were ready to, you wanted me to take your legs, oh no is that a two plus three grab or what, what, no sidestepping the world's getting me away from that, oh no, oh no, oh no, I just realize this guy's a shotgun on his back too, let's just go into heat, okay nice and simple, nice and simple combo, gets me a little bit of damage here, crouch, thank you very much, thank you very much, okay you don't want to crouch, you don't have to, oh that's gonna give me a little bit, why not go ahead, crouch, thank you, all right good enough, oh how does he hit me with that, okay I don't know how to take that grab, that's true, but so far he hasn't punished me for just getting up and kicking him, low, thank you, no okay should we play it slow, I don't know, I really don't know, we used all our resources, I used all my cheap resources, oh except for the little hop kick, except for a little dangerous hop kick to keep me in the game, he needs his promo chance, he's never been sweating more than now, all right, preheat activation but we'll take it every day, I'm just gonna activate it, crouch, thank you, oh wow we don't get there in time, oh that's just not a one plus two attack, it's no way, oh my god fraudulent brah, this is the worst feeling attack in brah, I just don't know, I just don't know what the break is, but do you, do you know the break, now you've got to play the game, you were happy to make me play it but now you've got to play the game, go ahead, what's the break, oh you found it, oh you're better than me, is that what you wanted here, oh no, is he gonna go low, oh he knows I don't know, you know I don't know, that's cheap bro, oh he knew I didn't know, well now I'm going up against a red rank, congrats on the evolution, no no, why is it lagging, no that was not my, that was not my intention, all right let me check this guy, let me check him, okay, all right you kind of passed the check, you passed the check, oh I would never do it twice though, get off the ground, you know that I'm coming for you, oh that's so good, it's so cheap off the ground, I don't understand, I'm coming for you down there too, low parry, you know he's got to be feeling it now, he thinks I'm gone like, oh but never mind, he reminded himself I'm not, that was pretty quick too, he reminded me, look at him trying to grab me, look at him, all he knows is to grab, oh I'll take the freeload damage, I probably should have used that bar a little more though, oh get off, it's a one break, no, no that is definitely not a one break, oh launcher, that grab is by far the most exposing thing this set, if I could figure out how to break that we stand a much better chance, Shining wizard, I would never do that to you again though, get up, oh I don't know the break, I don't know the break, okay you got me bro, I'm just a king player bro, I don't know how to break grabs okay, the lore is right, I don't know, oh no, oh no, how long does that just make me, damn, all right so it was a long time, no it probably feels over now, it feels over, I can't get run over like this, no, oh no that's probably it, let's go and I didn't get the thing, all right big damage, big damage you can't crouch that, oh no, it's over bros, it's over we couldn't get a win there, we're back in the motion territory, okay another chance, oh chain grab, warang, I needed this, I need this bro so don't break it, I'm begging you not to break it, I need a little pick me up, I need some rank points, I just needed so bad bro, thank you, thank you bro, thank you please, take a seat, take a seat over on that wall okay, let me get this, that was supposed to be the low, oh god, RKO, I need, wow that did a lot of damage, I wasn't expecting it to do all that, go ahead sit down for me, give me your legs, okay so you armored up, you saw that I was armoring up for a while, oh oh I thought he let me do it, I thought he let me have it, but here it comes anyway, here it comes anyway, big grabs, my heat's almost out so you gotta wonder how am I gonna abuse the armor here, I've got a little bit of it, flip him, I could have done so much more, I could have done so much more but instead we're just gonna let it ride out and just take the down forward one two to get, get it moving, get it moving, get it popping, armor up, oh into the giant swing exactly what the armor was made for, can you tech roll, that's a no, oh armor up, I don't know we don't make that, one two one grab, something new, haven't used that this set, I'm gonna use it now, armor my veins, muscle up, where's my muscle, muscle up, I think we're going to the moon, yeah it's looking pretty bad, it's not looking too good dude, once you would grab, it's got crouches, oh how many kicks bro, how many kicks can you do in one jump, I'm gonna hop kick, all right it was wrong, it was wrong but I'll never regret it, oh god, let me do it too, thank you, that move is so annoying, that move is so annoying like high mid, what do I do, I guess I can duck hop kick maybe, oh my goodness, I'm getting waranged, bro got me falling like a loony toon's character, no I gotta strike back bro, honestly the only way I'm winning this set I think is if I'm just in the driver's seat the whole time, that's the only way I'm winning this set, so I just gotta, I gotta pretend like he's just going to do whatever he needs to do and then hold on, oh put him in the dirt again, I think this is where we go for it though, okay, no chip damage, no damage on him though, that's bad, just mash it out, mash it out, I'm taking the set, I'm taking the set, you know I had to rob you, you could click all the buttons you want but I was in rage and you weren't, so guess who won, me, give me my rank points, give them to me, that's all I care about growing better as a player, overrated, rank points, that's my stuff, now he kind of exposed me the last like two sets in a row, even three honestly, but I gotta, now I just gotta get crazy with it, I just gotta get crazy with it, again, the only way we win this I think is by just running over him, max speed, no brakes, so that's, that's pretty much what I'm gonna do, oh my god the, the low advancing attacks are, it's crazy, oh my god, oh my god, we're gonna have to cheese him again though, bro throws in a sneaky little boot every three seconds, no, no, where was my side, no, no I can't accept this dude, where was my side step, where was my side step, okay, okay, all right, yeah, yeah, that's a lot of damage, I don't agree, I don't agree with the amount of lows you have, never have, oh god, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, he hesitated, I took the bait, I definitely took the bait there, I thought he was the type to dash in, warring, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be normal, bro, all right, I just gotta, I gotta throw all the cheese out, oh no, we don't get armor for that, what do we grab, thank you, there's still a chance, there's just a small modicum of hope, oh no, why did I even try that, I knew that that wouldn't win, all right, last game, last game of the video, let me clutch up, let me clutch, I still stand by the fact that we probably win if we just like really just overwhelm him, but that's just happened to happen, no, we got overwhelmed, so that's stuff I said, bad info, bad coach job, no draft capital, can you sidestep king for the love of god, why are we crouching brother, why are we crouching, I hate, I hate warring, now you might be wondering why I don't do faster moves on the ground, and I don't know, this is so, this is so bad, this is so bad, help me, warring, just stop, you don't have to be the bad guy, pick him up, you don't have to be the bad guy, warring, you don't, you don't have to be, oh no, yes, how are you alive, oh my god, oh no way, well that's the video, unless scaling, unless scaling is so incredible that I have one more shot, nope, we're not demoted, but we're damn close, and that red rank seems all the farther, even though I guess it's the closest we've ever been.
