In it, JoeCrush uses Jack-8\u2019s infamous Gigaton Punch to one-shot Kytaie\u2019s Jun at the start of the first round of their fourth game.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Awesome <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SJuGBFESJf\">https:\/\/t.co\/SJuGBFESJf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Katsuhiro Harada (@Harada_TEKKEN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Harada_TEKKEN\/status\/1820201429275144663?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 4, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To add some context to the fight, Gigaton Punch is a legacy move that belongs to all of the Jack characters in the Tekken franchise. While the base move has a long wind-up and does a ton of damage if it connects, it can be charged further to do an unblockable one-hit K.O.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most players view Gigaton Punch as a useless move as its long start-up animation means that it can be easily telegraphed and countered. JoeCrush lured Kytaie with the Gigaton Punch from a neutral position and simply waited for him to get close. Once Kytaie took the bait, all JoeCrush had to do was release the fully charged Gigaton Punch and take the first round.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">hey <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeCrush_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JoeCrush_<\/a> I&#39;ll stick to just photographing FGC events from now on thanks for the lesson (\ud83d\ude2d) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JN557BuS9Z\">https:\/\/t.co\/JN557BuS9Z<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Peter (@Kytaie) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kytaie\/status\/1819564867772404188?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 3, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Harada_TEKKEN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Harada_TEKKEN<\/a> PLEASE IM JUST A NEW PLAYER I JUST STARTED MAN THIS CAN&#39;T BE IT FOR ME<\/p>&mdash; Peter (@Kytaie) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kytaie\/status\/1820214528531181583?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 4, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kytaie, being the good sport that he is, isn\u2019t afraid to talk about getting one-shot by Jack-8. He jokingly contemplates getting a Korean lever arcade stick to prevent such a thing from happening again and even begs Katsuhiro Harada to give him another chance at competitive Tekken 8. In truth, Kytaie seems content with making esports videos and expanding his photography portfolio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Have you ever experienced MOG neutral? \ud83e\udd16 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XZcH00M7hJ\">pic.twitter.com\/XZcH00M7hJ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; PAR JoeCrush (@JoeCrush_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeCrush_\/status\/1819567534015730135?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 3, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>JoeCrush, on the other hand, is humbler than most fighting game players as he only mentions the fight once on his X (formerly Twitter) social media account.
