 Is this a Cetrion pick from Deoxys? I mean, I don't know what side they're sitting on, but no. I feel like today we saw Deoxys picking upgraded Jack. That's the safe pick, yeah, yeah. So, you know, Tekken Master not shy and not always willing to use that counter pick to his advantage. And we're stopping her. Raiden has warped your mind. So the Cetrion pick, yes. Like you said, Mitz, it is. It looks like it's going to be on the Tekken Master side. And they're going right into this Tekken Master utilizing Cetrion. And I like to describe Cetrion as a character that has everything except really high damaging BNB. I mean, Cetrion's got mobility, zoning, very fast buttons, really good anti-air, but just doesn't do too much damage, but still a really, really good character. As you said there, this might be an answer to her leap. Standing one, just like that. Back to back. This might put the respect into the yawksis or the fear rather. The dash punch does get blocked, but doesn't really get much from it. You have to neutral duck it in order to expose it and really, really hurt Jackie for it. Great back to back throws here. Oh, he went for a third. He went for a third. 7% left. Oh, he was looking for the fourth one anti-air, Piñata instead. Chip is an issue here. Patience from Tekken Master. OK. That was smart. Into an ear jump kick, huh? Just stopping her from anything she's trying to do. The yawksis getting a little bit comfortable jumping in over and over again. Tekken Master just says, stop it. Looking for the boulder, but the boulder gets destroyed once Cetrion does get hit. The low option, very unsaved, but a lot of players don't see it coming. Looking for an anti-air, stand one, but didn't get it. Nobody was quite home. The back to two to complement that dash punch. The hold on Tekken Master finding the hit. The side switch with the teleport. 19%, some boulders. Where's the high boulder? Where's the high boulder? Oh, goes for the, for the geyser full screen. I really thought a dash punch was coming right after. Oh, active frames boys, Tekken Master. Huh? Confirms it as well with the geyser. Beautiful stuff. I'm going to amplify for as much damage as possible. Bait to the blow. Bait to the blow, watch for the bail. Wow, what a confirm from Tekken Master. Watch the leap. There it is. Oh, it whiffed. The back throw. That should be enough to seal the deal. Wow. Tekken Master taking that for his game. Now, you know, like I said, Tekken Master has a certain character for all these different matchups. And Jackie, Jackie, Jackie has been, you know, the theme of the meta for the last few months. So Tekken Master is more ready than he could ever be, especially on this stage, especially at this event. This doesn't surprise me a bit though. I mean, this is Tekken Master through and through. We know that he's a top tier loyalist for that matter. You know what I mean. Hey, he's got to do whatever he's got to do to win. Absolutely. There's absolutely no shame in that. There's a lot of money on the line here. Okay, guys, there's beautiful conversion there. You got to keep going. And just back it off. You know, as soon as the combos don't just back off, trying to find the straight hits wherever, wherever Tekken Master can. Oh, and that was a punish. Wow. Wall is blocked. Wall is blocked to minimize the pushback and the chip damage. Definitely a good idea, but a risky, risky maneuver. Very technical aspect of this game. A short hop into nothing. Ah, out of there. Out of there. Peace out. Two bars, and I'm fine. Being on the other side, the whole line. Easy though, Arma. Easy though. One. He whipped it. Uh-oh. Ah, the movement. Ah, shimmy, shimmy, shimmy. Oh! Four and two. Into the fade to the blow. Yeah, beautiful, beautiful hit confirm. It's going to do a lot of damage, but I think it was worth it. Again, just to kind of get a breather, you use the fatal blow, but now Deoxys has to be thinking, all right, I don't have to worry about the fatal blow ever. I don't, and that's really where she, the one time she gets a lot of action between fatal blows and crashing blows. And you can only use it once for me, for match. To be fair, I agree with that decision because it's not that fatal blow that you just throw out there, like, you know, Jax or Aaron Black. Too slow. Yeah, exactly. It made sense to just, you know, play it safe, teleports into the corner, don't know what he was looking for there, Piñara's block. Woo! That was tricky. That was very, very scary. Great timing by Tekken Master. Just backing off. This has to be the best back dash in the game. Just back and back and back, and it complements his character so well. Oh, poking and looking for the throw as Deoxys is holding onto that block button for dear life here. Oh! And we all know that's a crushing blow if she does jump up there. No fly zone, baby. Oh, he jumped over the Piñara! That is a rare sight. Very rare. Right now, Zetrion's looking like a Piñara, getting slammed here, backing off, and just trying to back that. Never mind! He was backing off, then he goes in. This is super close. On the verge of getting paid to the blow, is Deoxys. What? Three. But he doesn't have the board, so make it count. Wait a minute. Oh, no. Okay, we might have a situation. This is too close. This is definitely a situation here. Very intense. 20 seconds on the clock. Wait a minute. Six percent. Oh, he stepped under the throat, but didn't get a good puttage! Oh, no! One percent left! Less than a percent! Wait a minute! That pin just caves that skull in with the dash button. Deoxys stays alive in this set. Okay, here we go. That's scary, man. That's like when you just almost get hit by a car on the highway. When that's older, just goes right over your head, and you're just like, I could have been my death. Deoxys looking good here. This is round three. Very early throw. The mix-up from Deoxys is the fact that he went again. Just going through there. That's the geyser. Second master. What are they gonna do? It's so intense. Close players looking for something here, and just keeping it safe. Just going for the full string, not going for throws, not going for anything crazy. A folder. Oh! Three percent left. Chip is in a show! Breaking away. Needs to do it. It doesn't want to take the damage. All the low didn't see it coming. No one blocks it, Arma. Nobody blocks it. Oh, and there it is. He tried to be cheeky, not working out in his favor. Tekken master. Needs one more here. So what's it gonna be? For the first time, I think we're going back to character select, right? Yeah. Just to get a little breather, you know, reassess the situation. Because this is a, you know, a very, very intense spot here. And again, guys, you can follow the bracket by checking out the link down below on smash.gg to see who is still in the tournament, who is eliminated, and to pick your favorite so far to win the tournament. Tekken master is looking incredible here. Would this set you on pick? Set you on on all characters, right? All right, potentially the last match of this set. Great rematch. All these throws, man. Leaping in and just kind of canceling there, not committing to the full thing at all. Backing up as Tekken master finds himself really, really close to the corner. Jumping in. Oh, and you gotta love how active that move is, but hold on. Jackie finding the hit. Jackie finding the hit. Dropping the end of it, but hold on, pulling her way through and set you on finds herself in a very, very tough spot. Going for the throw mix is deoxys, not keeping her in the corner. What a challenge from Tekken master. He was there. Great opportunity to press some buttons, confirm into some damage. All getting under, and that's going to be a punish. Big punish, one. He whipped it again. What is going on here? Deoxys has to tighten things up here to stay alive. Get she meet. And I think, I think that's going to be around. I think so too. I think so too. 11%. 8, 8, 8. Yes. Not even before the solar beam. She dead. She does have 950 health, 5% less than all the other characters and in situations just like that, it always comes in handy when you're fighting against Jackie. Tekken master on match point. I'd like to see more challenge from deoxys. Wait a minute, just like that one. How scary was that? That boulder was going to make contact with Jackie. Almost, almost actually, for sure. Oh, double down one. Back to back. Yes, I like it. Double down one. Double your fun. Hold on a second. Jackie is trying to start something here. Dash punching. And in the combo, it's just trying not to let off of sentry on because she knows how hard it is to find her way back in. Never mind. She just leashes it from all over the screen. Oh. Down, down, down. One, two, three, block. The break away. No resources. Cannot wake up. Cannot roll. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. This is still doable. This is still doable. Believe it. Fatal blow is on the table here. Trying to get as much damage as possible is second master. And now backing off. Beautiful follow spot. Minimizing the chip there. Six percent. Six percent. Grab his whip. Grab his whip. The shimmy. Shimmy, shimmy. It's a work though. One, two. Keeps it simple. Finally does not drop the shore you can. Deoxys is still alive and well. Keeping it tight there is Deoxys. Again, no reason to go for the riskier stuff. Just keep it simple and make sure you finish your plate. Not again. Deoxys is not again. That is not the drop you need. Push yourself. Lasers. Lasers, lasers. The zoning options room set you on are absolutely ridiculous. But here comes Greasekick. I don't think he had the meter just yet. It just came back. It just came back. Beautiful whip punish with the standing one. Restent. Twenty percent left. Lots of mids. Is this the start of a comeback from Deoxys? Is this the start of a reverse 3-0? Master going to take it right here, right now. Still on that point, the second master. Twenty percent left. Second master once again. Deoxys in there. From downtown with the leap. And officially on the board. Takes a match here. Zero play. Second master is one of those people that likes to change. The minute something goes wrong. So let's see if he, you know, sticks with Citroen. That is another solution. Yeah, that is definitely very true. I guess he's not. He's going into rematch here. Maybe kind of chalking it up to, you know what? That last game was a fluke. I was so dominant in those first two games. That I think I can do this. Yeah. Makes sense. Makes sense. I agree with this. Big counter here. One, two, three. I love it. Thirty-five percent. Nearly. Just off by one. That's okay. Looking for the low. The second master's been doing that a lot. He's been like jumping. Oh. That was like the first wake up we saw. For him, sent you out on this whole set. Right. Yeah. Challenge. The lead. Stop. One percent left. Chip is in. Woo. The read. He's in attack. From Deoxys. He's in attack. Wow. He knew that in that situation, Tekken Master wasn't looking to turn the tables and win that round. He was looking to get out of the corner. And Deoxys read it like a book. Tekken Master's still up to one, but I think Tekken Master is the one who was in trouble here. Failed escape. Looks like Deoxys was anticipating a back throw there, considering that Tekken Master is back to the wall. It's a reflex. Definitely. Definitely a reflex. Deoxys definitely looking for so many of these throws, not getting it. So much jump kickage here from Tekken Master. Again, it looks like it's a specific Jackie upgraded matchup thing. Okay. Backing up. Korean back dashes. Love it. Big jumping kick. Oh. Swarm. Pachet. It's the string. Gonna be a punnish. Either way 1, 2, 3. What's it gonna be here? What's her breakfast? Tekken Master's trying to jump? Yeah. He's trying to jump out of there. He's just said, stop hitting me. Get away from me. Rastain. Rastain. Into what though? Into what though? Wow. Keeps it simple with the bait to blow again. Tekken Master. Good hit confirm here. Beautiful animation of that fatal blow. And Settron just demolishes you there. Right now, Tekken Master doesn't want to go to a Game 5 situation. He's trying to finish this right here, right now. Don't add any more stress to yourself if you don't need to. Meshpoint, Tekken Master. She's always just one leap away, one leap away from going. Police for the love of God, get off me. Oh, the respect. Yes, I like it. Cicero does not have the best mints. Piñata is punished, no amplification. Smart, smart stuff here by Diablo. Ready for it, being patient, clipping it with a low, but not committing to the full string. Going to the other side and overhead. What is the low coming? Oh, no! 6%, 6%. He's looking for potentially a high Tekken Master. He's calling for... His coach, he's calling for his coach, calling for Sharkdeep. He's calling for help at this point. He's calling for help. See, this is the thing. Someone looking in and from the outside, they can probably see something, especially a great player like Sharkdeep, can see something, you know, hey, Tekken Master, you're doing this too much. You know, he basically did one thing to adjust to this and you got to counter it. You got to stop. Possibly maybe a surprise pick, because we've seen Tekken Master missing a lot of different other characters. So maybe he's going to go with something else that Deoxys isn't going to have more than one game to adapt to, but that's a very dangerous play. Uh-oh. Uh-oh, he's looking into the camera. Making sure he still looks good. Did you see that? The pat feels like it's going to be all right. It's going to be okay. I'll see you in a bit. No matter what, it's going to be okay. I promise. Wait, I didn't hear it. I didn't hear it. Who is it? Let's say it. I heard Devorah. Oh my goodness. Devorah? What? Devorah against upgraded Jackie? Now, Devorah does have some great anti-airs. Yes. Especially the crushing blow. Don't bet too, baby. Yes, yes. So good. Snatches are out and that first one, or whichever one he wants to use, is going to do a boatload of damage. Is this the gameplay? Is this the future of Mortal Kombat? Possibly, possibly. Anti-meta decision here. There it is! There it is. Give me your guts. Does he get the continuation? Absolutely. Jump in once. Into the puddle. The bug is out. He nearly took half his health for just one jump in. Yes, says stop. But that's the thing. He's not going to have the crushing blow for the rest of the match. So, from here on out, Tekken Masters hoping that that first impression made sure that Deoxys is going to be more hesitant about jumping in, he's not leaving the ground. Have you ever seen an up-to-jacking not leave the ground? She's too scared. Look at that, look at that, look at that. There's bugs everywhere. It's an obstacle course. The platformer. Mortal Kombat 11. Here it comes. But hold on a second. One, two, three. Okay, wait a minute. Deoxys is pressing the attack. He needs to stay on her. He needs to stay on her. Oh, how many bugs? He's pressing everything. Every down one that he possibly could was coming out there. Just again, double down one. Uh-oh, this is so even. This is so even. Face of low is a threat for both of them. Time is becoming a factor. Wow. The hit confirm. He found the forward three straight into the face of low. Deoxys is saving so many match points in the sets. Finally, on match points himself, Arma. Match point right here. I mean, and you got to realize that the Tekken Master did half the help from one crushing blow that he has no long left. One sequence. Yes. The forward throw, keeping Jackie completely away. Cast all this real estate to set up the bugs. Okay. This is disgusting. There's bugs everywhere. I hate hearing these sounds. Throwing out. It's a very slow projectile, but once it does hit, it is very, very annoying. Oh! Yes. Over extending. What was he going for there? This is scary. Ah. Yes, anyone. Yeah, yeah. Beautiful there. And calling out that breakaway, recognizing and knowing I can drop the slug and go in for whatever setup I want afterwards. Yo, Deoxys is getting hit by everything. He is pressing all over the place. I mean, that's what got him to success in that last round. Did you see how many down ones he's been in the corner? He was swinging. This is a dog fight. Pushing her back full screen. Very, very deteriorating here. Here come the bugs. I'm so nervous. It's stopping her from doing it. He finished the string. Seven percent left. You are looking for chip down one into the OP Posterder. Six percent. Ah, the bugs. Ah. The bugs, the bugs, the bugs, the bees. Double match point. Who wants it more? US versus Bahrain. Dash punch right out the gate to start something. Start a message here. And there it is, the Bunch saving him. This is 2v1. Ah, finds the opening. Deox is one, two, three. Ah, massive 50%. Immaculate spacing there by Deox. Escape failed. The bug is there, the bug is there. Yeah, he can't press the attack, he knows. Escape failed. So he's doing a really good job of going for the throw mix. Throwing him out of the corner so he doesn't expect it. So he guesses wrong. Here come the bugs and that's gonna make that jump in nice and safe. He did the buzzing down there. He does not get the pushing blow, but it's same 10%. Faking blow is an issue. He can't go in, he knows. Yeah, yeah, he can't leave it out. He does not have the life lead. Let's see, Tekken Master can set up job. Hold on, here comes the elbow drop. Oh my God, I can't either. Back row. 9%, 9% as you wake up. Watch the leap. I don't know, the low saw so few low attempts throughout that entire set that Tekken Master didn't see it coming. But had he blocked it, that should have been a full combo punish. And Deoxys moves on over Tekken Master here in the lower bracket. I can't, you're shaking. You're shaking. That was insane. A reverse 3-0 from Deoxys and the surprise Devorah pick. And as soon as that match started, we saw it. It almost like it was written there. As soon as he jumped in, just anti-air 50%, gone. He was looking like the professor that he is. Tekken, like this was such a Tekken Master decision to go with something like Devorah. What Devorah? Tekken Master, kind of like, we're talking about like, upgrade Jackie might be the best character in the game. No one says that about Devorah, pretty much. No, no way. No one was saying it. Anyway, at this stage, 2-2, going with the Devorah pick and it looked like it was the right choice. But like, he couldn't contain the animal that was Deoxys and that situation pressing all over the place. And once again, Devorah, a character that does not have the best mids. I think if he were, if he was like, he should have contested more with the down one into an overposter. Unblocking can make it safe. So that's her mid pretty much, right? Yeah, yeah. And, you know, we saw that in some of the lines. When you don't have a mid, especially if you don't have a mid as good as Jackie's, that's why we saw so much success with those double down ones, those hoax just relentlessly going over and over again from Deoxys. And that was the right call, honestly. Wow, Tekken Master is eliminated from the tournament. Deoxys, yeah, gets to live in the tournament. I'm still like... You're shaking. I'm not okay. You're not okay. You're not okay. I can't. I can't do this. It's gonna be all right. So maybe the next one will calm me down, but probably not because it's gonna be a Foxy grandpa versus score.
