Knee's Tekken 7 Tier List in Deathmatches

[Click to expand image] -- [Click to see Knee's Tier List for Tournaments]

I don't think anyone else on this planet is more qualified to make a deathmatch focused tier list for Tekken 7 right now. The image you see above is the conclusion to a tier list brainstorm Knee did with Kuro Kuro while in Japan recently. Considering the nature of the list, you can expect that it is primarily focused on characters that perform in a long deathmatch setting so these listings don't necessarily reflect his thoughts on the characters in a tournament BO3 format. Kuro Kuro uploaded a video of him and Knee in a tiny computer room and during the process you can hear him mentioning at some points whether or not a player has managed to get high ranks with certain characters so there's also that to factor in. For those curious and want to see the list as it is being made, you can catch Kuro Kuro's latest video upload of the tier list.

Tekken 7 - Knee VS Nobi Arcade Deathmatches

Clash of the Tekken titans once again, Nobi and Knee came together in Japan to battle it out for region pride. Historically, Knee is usually the dominating deathmatching machine that ends up demoting most of the people he plays against but Nobi in recent times have been going back and forth with Knee across Tekken Tag Tournament 2 to Tekken 7 vanilla and now the current version of Tekken 7 in arcades. It's the countries' best pitted against each other so come check out how it all went down. Once again, huge thanks goes to Kuro Kuro for streaming and uploading all the match footage.

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.

Tekken 7 - LowHigh VS Karei Arcade Deathmatches

Thanks goes to Shudy for the video uploads. This series of deathmatches played at Namco Sugamo feature relatively newer young blood players in both LowHigh from Korea and Karei from western Japan. You may remember seeing these two players from their Top 8 performances from the King of Iron Fight Global Finals last year so this match-up is one to watch. LowHigh uses both Shaheen and Bryan here up against Karei's Kazumi and the deathmatches span roughly 2 hours all together so plenty to enjoy.
