He also used a lot of jab pressure often opting for 1,1 (over a regular jab) which can be HC (Hit confirmed) into 2 leading into knockdown, decent damage and follow up pressure. His main choice of mids would most notably include BF21, DF1, UF4, FF2 as well as CD4 or DF4. His two main choices were hellsweep and D4 for lows. There were a few times where he thought it was necessary to use DB2 as a low poke. He opted for a plethora of mids and hellsweep to open up his opponent. It was also interesting to see that he did not overly rely on the use of EWGF (Electric Wind God Fist) to pressure his opponent. This allowed him to continue his tear into the opponent's life bar with hellsweep and UF4. He was also exceptional at keeping the match linear with great use of BF21 (Laser scraper) which is a move that tracks to the left and right. If your opponent appears not to care about whether you punished his offense it becomes much more difficult to enforce your defence. This kind of mindset is scary for the opponent who has to defend. There were times in last year’s finals where Qudans had his hellsweep launch punished yet his very next move would be another hellsweep. An unsettling type of play when paired with exceptional movement and experience. This kind of play is least common in Korea where they prefer to rely on movement and defensive ability. Qudans created hesitation and doubt in his opponent’s mind by enforcing a relentless and unflinching offense. There were big differences in the way they approached the game that demonstrates perfectly that a character can be played in anyway the player desires as long as it is effective. To say that Knee and Qudans won large Tekken events because they used ‘Devil Jin’ would be a very incomplete statement.

You can read the full article on Devil Jin stealth nerfs here. The moves that were supposedly affected were not used as much when ‘Devil Jin’ was in Knee’s hands in comparison with Qudans. solid defence.Īnother important factor that could have been playing in Knee’s mind is the recent nerfs that have been supposedly affected ‘Devil Jin’. In short, what we observed between the two competitors is an all out offense VS. He enforced a serious 50/50 which kept his competitors on the defence most of the time.
His ability to predict his opponents next move and mix them up was uncanny. On the other hand we see QUDANS destroying the competition with ferocious offense. This created some hesitation in JDCR’s strategy and forced him to be more timely and calculated when using D2. The resulting punish was WS1,4, which results in a KND (Knockdown) and allows ‘Devil Jin’ to enforce his powerful Okizeme game. He was able to negate a lot of Dragunov’s offense by block punishing D2. The first immediate difference you will notice is that Knee is a lot more conservative with his ‘Devil Jin’ and extremely patient and defensive. Either way there were some very significant differences in playstyle between Knee and Qudans. Perhaps Knee was inspired by his former teammate UYU | QUDANS or perhaps he just decided to adopt a new character for recent tournaments. We haven’t seen Knee use ‘Devil Jin’ at a high level since Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and it has been almost forever since we have seen him win with ‘Devil Jin’. Following the results of the first stop of 2018’s Tekken World Tour event, we saw ROX | KNEE take the win using an unlikely character.
