Tekken 7 - Knee (Kazuya) VS Kari (Yoshimitsu) Arcade Deathmatches

Yet another set of high level deathmatches from the Korean invasion of the Tokyo Tekken Masters event, Knee runs a lengthy set in Akihabara's Leisure Land with the newly sponsored Japanese Yoshimitsu player Kari. Knee might be familiar to most but Kari is perhaps considered the best Yoshimitsu player on the planet right now. He hails from the Kyushu region of Japan with a scene of local Tekken monsters along the likes of Gen, Taisei, Chikurin & Noroma. Having made notable strides in Tekken 7, he found himself sponsored by his job at the Hotel/Apparel division (Aim-Crane) of the Japanese SFIDA company. He even already announced plans to come to Evo in Las Vegas next year so he is definately a Tekken player to watch. The full set of deathmatch videos come courtesy of Kuro Kuro's YouTube page.

Korean Player MajorOneTenHundred's Analysis on Knee's Feng pick for REV Major

REV Major 2017 was without a doubt one of the best showing of Tekken 7 at tournaments we've seen but it can be hard to feel involved with the players and scene with foreign players making most of the dominanting performance. Language barrier makes things a hurdle so every informant/spy that comes along to give us the juicy details and behind the scenes of what's going on in other Tekken communities is pretty valuable. For most of the viewers watching REV Major, they might not know what's going on with Knee who's known for his Bryan/Mishima play to opt to go and use Feng against his opponents in a tournament. Thanks to Kihyun96 over on Reddit, he managed to translate a big analysis post on Knee's character choice done by the Feng player MajorOneTenHundred (일십백) which provides context and details to help clue people in. Big thanks goes to him for translating this analysis, you can read it over on the r/tekken subreddit.
