Invited to the Sajam Tekken Slam, Coney enters a Tekken 8 invitational without knowing anything about Tekken. Listen to the tale of how Coney preps for the tournament and his experience undergoing a tremendous task of learning one of the most complex fighting games in such a short period of time.
Huge shoutouts to Sajam (@SupermanSajam) for hosting the event!

Super thinks he’s on the team 😭
not super getting cooked in other ppl's chats now...💀
@@merus2818 You say this like it's a new thing, it just usually stays out of videos since he's so insignificant
Coney loved this comment that shits hilarious
@@merus2818 hey I’m a man on both sides. Bro thought he was on the team at owcs 2023 💀, he didn’t even contribute
@@Jelliott_ssb There was no OWCS in 2023, unless you mean OWWC, in that he benched Coluge (World Class Sigma) and played SIgma instead of him. He was the main reason they had a fighting chance. Most people agree he is top 5 main tanks to every play overwatch.
Of course brawlpro would bring to most out of an ex brawl pro
When you really think about, Dedede is the exact same as king
@@4546BeanDEDEDE IS A FAT BIRD?
@@4546Bean They call him "King Dedede" for a reason
Documentary voice Coney it's such a rare character.
So what I've learned from this is... Super sucks
I really thought he was setting up for Super to carry at the end but no he just sucks😂
That’s my anchor!
I wonder if they would've won if Super and Coney swapped
@@aclonymousMost def
I mean, if you can play Reina better than Super, then sure, you got something on him. Only problem I saw was bro chose a high floor, high ceiling character to play, and he paid for it by getting walloped.
"You pick a good character" >SF6 Zangief Truest comedy joke in the whole video
not just sf6 gief sf6 modern gief
@@omarg2079green hand?
@@Crowlo17 zangeif doesn't have green hand in sf6 buut, one button spd and one button counter supers
@@aryanburnwal2371 Zangief will always be good. Just because people can't figure him out right now doesn't mean anything. Tiers are meaningless, good players change tier lists.
@omarg2079 this is the truest statement ever, one button OD grabs. With zero frames to react defensively.
Seeing everyone hating on you for playing king then seeing BrawlPro absolutely represent is the arc of a lifetime
It was so funny watching the Tekken community reaction to Coney. The scrubs in the comments all hating a King Player, everyone that fought him in tournament hating King even more, meanwhile all the pros reviewing him are like "Damn he's solved the Tekken ladder."
i’m so glad he beat erobb and dropped the “i’m just better than you dude”
High level king is cool, seeing less competent players unable to break throws and get hit by 50 armor kicks in a row isn’t
@@Giotron It's so funny that how anti newer player King specifically is. His throws are balanced at higher level through a knowledge/execution test that new players will never perform, you cannot just start mashing buttons on King because he has 2 (at least) very powerful power crushes, and the only counterplay new players will have against grab is duck (they cannot break throws, and you also need to know TO duck), ducking also being a risky high committment option that could get you launched. A new player also probably won't have the wherewithal to punish the King player hard from a successful duck under a grab.
THAT IS MY COACH, MY IDOL, MY KING.
R U talking about Super?
@@hgyuuuuhj098He was talking about brawlpro
Coney, you probably won‘t see this, but your storytime videos are your best content to me
Yeah this an bad things happening to good people have been my favorite coney videos
Mr. 5 Moves of Doom, "4" days purple rank King. The supercut is here. Sajam Slam was a great tournament, lots of great moments. Brawlpro being such a good coach and everyone else on the team was hyped up. Wish he liked the game more but it is what it is. Congrats on the Evo trip. (Poor super lol)
Common super L
5 Moves of Doom, Mr. “Just have to play more ignorant”.
"of course you have [played Tekken]," he said to an audience of Smash players
I mean, they've played something slightly related to Tekken thanks to Kaz in Ultimate... counts for something, maybe?
I have never played Tekken.... however Kazuya is my main in Ultimate
I think out of “traditional” fighting games, Tekken is actually the closest to smash in terms of gameplay
@@ahnixcreations interesting take. can you explain why? I really liked your testament stain left/right mixup btw
@@unda4549 thank you! As far as the comparison, they’re very movement heavy, poke heavy games, where most moves are minus if blocked. I kinda compare air movement in smash to Tekken’s horizontal movement since it’s a 3D game. Of course it’s not a perfect 1:1, but I do think there’s a lot of parallels. Even the ground game in Tekken (when your opponent is knocked down) feels a lot like the ledge/recovery game in smash, since Tekken lets you stay on the ground, doesn’t give you invincibility while you’re knocked down (excluding ukemi which is a tech roll option, though it works a little differently from smash) and the attacker is heavily at advantage not just from the threat of a mixup if they do stand up, but with the threat of preventing your opponent from getting up in the first place, just like trying to get back on stage in Smash.
In a lot of his smash-related vods, Coney often mentions he’s too old to care about playing “honorably” anymore Love seeing him keep the ideology in tekken
Brawlpro is such a chad, barely speaks, mains a chad, clutched up with no warm-up cuz his students needed him and no final words from him. Just fades back into the abyss like a mythical character. Salute to the King playing King Brawlpro!
this whole event really did feel like its own distinct arc, it was a joy to witness so much of it
Getting so good in a week that they have to bump you up a tier is WILD. GGs Coney
I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting such a real and vulnerable video from you, Coney. It was moving. I loved it. Keep up the great work :)
Brawlpro coming in was an anime moment When the villain is so strong the mentor needs to step in and stomp ass
I don't watch live content often, but I set time aside and everything to watch this event, standing at my desk cheering and jumping like a fucking sports fan LMFAO. Fully convinced me along with Slime to learn the game, as well as maining King, despite being a grappler, and the community being Scrubs + Bitches + Bitchless + No Money about him. Respect for the multiple times you said the game absolutely isn't your thing, but I fucking loved this content, absolutely my favourite arc to this date. just 10/10 the whole way through, to the point where I was digging through twitch to find the tekken vods after the event to find more stuff, since I had to miss those streams, as well as just not being a live content guy too much in general. Cheers! excited to finish the video lmfao. Might ramble more after.
Also I can't really lie. Like you touched on, those laggy games were a real piss off. Leaving a separate comment cause I don't wanna be a complete hater, but my god that KILLED the momentum of that event. It is "technically" a casual event, but the attitude, presentation, and everything else was professional. Including the great prizes, including a fucking Evo trip of all things. I know everyone also agreed and knew beforehand, but even with that, it didn't look like anyone was happy about that lol. "Oh but they both deal with the ping" works a lot less when you can practice consistently, for weeks with that, versus having it dropped day of, unexpected. And then of course, daring not to smile and wave through it, just salty fan angry about X Y or Z losing. Totally not annoyed at the momentum change so obvious that even the streamers can't hide it lmfao. That condescension just locked me into Coney and my other interests streams and ignoring the rest of the Sajam content ngl. Only reason I wanted to rant here was because I got more hate/borderline harassment leaving a comment trying to word that politely on the vid summary lmfao.
@@blujay1294 Yeah I feel like the ping thing was a series of several unfortunate misunderstandings that couldn't really be walked back on. I didn't understand what the big deal was while watching the event but I can see how it might have slowed the momentum of it a bit. Luckily people were trying to salvage the vibes and hopefully if a similar event in the future gets planned it will truly be region-locked
Was literally just watching brawl pro's video about the tournament. Good shit Coney, you got me super interested in this game now
Welcome, friend. Enjoy the ride. Shits wild.
I recommend watching all of BP’s Tekken 7 videos. I haven’t laughed at any videos harder than I have those.
Sorry you had my streamer super 112 the fraud on your team. Otherwise y’all would have gotten first but good job and brawl pro is my dad
I like people critiquing your gameplay making excuses as to how you got such a good rank so quickly and so few people are willing to admit that Coney might just be good at learning fighting games lmao.
The truth that people dont want to accept is that in a game without actual straight up broken exploits like Gambit glitch and shit like that, winning the set pretty much inarguably shows that you are legitimately just better at the game than your opponent. As the wise man Sajam himself once said, at some point you have to accept that you gotta play the game as it is, not how you wish it would or think it should be.
it's jiyuna, he has never been anything else than a weeb trying to tear everyone else down
Coney seems like a really good scrub technique abuser to murder scrubs.
@@lmao2302 Red ranks have some solid players, making it to purple proves that there was some solid Tekken skill going on. Sure it was with a character like King who's very cheesy but every character in Tekken is capable of some cheese.
@@anonymousnate678red rank players are not good lol
I was the guy in stream who asked if you had ever played tekken, now i see this vid lmao. This vid is amazing great storytelling
THAT JACK WALL JUMP HOLY SHIT IS CRACKED
Damn he has a mullet again
Its NOT
@@CONEYZZClueless
@@CONEYZZ bro is NOT beating the mullet allegations
ICANT
Your respect is not a prize worth earning
After that tournament, I bought an arcade stick and Tekken the next day, I was that moved. Following your team and everyone's progression paths, it didn't feel anywhere near as short as it was, and BP carrying what you all forged together in that week over the finish line was a story that could only be told through fighting games. What a great event, what a great team, what a great game, and what a great video. Seriously, these types of videos are my favorite, and I understand why they're rarer, but I'd love for more in the future. Anyway, I'm gonna go back to labbing combos myself now, thanks for inspiring me.
having coney, super, and slime all in a call was a biblical experience. also that one combo i believe on tyler1 was insane
This video feels different from the other Coney content, it feels… real, like someone telling you a story at a campfire with a gleam in their eye. Something they’ll hold on to, forever. A legend of 5 moves of doom and the mythical 70%, capped off by the mentor taking off his cloak and saving the day. 10/10, would watch again just for the mullet
I wonder if this story is going to be relegated to the 'The Sajam Slam we failed to win because of Super' after Sajam Slam 2
One of my favorite videos you've made. This stream series got me into watching tekken(I'm in college don't got time to play) but this was such a good video recounting this and I hope this does what the event did for me and get people to watch tekken.
If you need help learning the game, holla
nice mullet coney, looks great
LazyMattman was honestly the fucking GOAT, went undefeated the whole tournament. This whole event was so incredible to watch, like got DAMN was so much fun.
1:57 "YOU DIED TO A GETUP ATTACK!" C L A S S I C
Where was GimR when this happened?
great production value on this vid. was very fun to watch the king journey live too!
Coney genuinely has embodied the phrase "That's some good-ass Tekken." and I am incredibly interested in trying out 8 as someone who didn't play anything beyond 5
Awesome video! I was rooting for Team MYK, but you and everyone else was hella entertaining in this tournament, this was one of the best fgc experiences as an audience member, happy to see it was for all of you too!
I think for the people who know, the line “fighting games are so cool” encapsulates all the emotion of that moment perfectly
Unironically one of your best vids man. Your storytelling ability is incredibly good and we dont get to see it nearly enough in edited content like this often. Good stuff
That BrawlPro clutch had me on the edge of my seat. THATS MY COACH
Really might be your best video, it honestly touched me
Watching this event and your week long Tekken journey was so incredibly fun. Reliving it through these clips makes me wanna watch the whole thing over again :') Happy y'all got that trip to EVO! You guys played so well!!
Am so impressed by Coney picking up the game so quickly. Regardless of character choice that kind of stuff doesn’t happen by accident! Gives me the motivation to buy Tekken 8 soon for myself. I always kinda kept the game at arm’s length for the most part. It always seemed way more difficult than the 2D fighters and platform fighters I usually play. I also rarely really had good experiences when it comes to the communities of most of the other fighting games I played. But I’m really starting to get lured into giving T8 a try!
I love this style of videos. Keep it up!! Love your content
This may be the best video you have ever made coney. I have never played tekken or even watched the competitive scene but your video has gotten me into tekken as a whole. Thank you.
Criminal that this video isn't doing so well. This is definitely the best piece of content you've produced since the Oook/Mikehaze match, and your storytelling skills are really nice. Hope to see more of this type of content in the future. Thanks for making this, Coney.
I’ve always loved your story videos about your time competing in smash back in the day, this was like those videos but on another level
Ur storytime content is actually top tier, i know nothing about Tekken but i was hooked for the entire video. I hope Sajam (ot someone) does something like this for strive.
I always enjoy your content CONEYZZ, but this hit different than anything else. I could feel the passion in the script and the Hype of the moment to moment. Truly a solid video and now I am downloading the T8 Demo
Really loved watching you participate in this tourney and learning the game. Probably one of my favorite arcs of Coney's streams
Loved watching Coneys run from beginning to end! Shit was so hype and I hope he does this again with other fighting games!
WE LOVE JACK JESUS OOOO
Coney was actually unbeatable in this event it was insane.
It hurt seeing him lose both sets to that lily player
Except: WANGED
@@YourTamedLion The Wang Factor hell yeah
I stopped playing Smash and moved to Tekken 7 when 8 got announced, King was my main in 7 but now I’m a real Mishima main Tekken head who believes in honesty (doing hellsweep one more time). Seeing your journey in playing King was such a treat. It breaks my heart that you chose not to keep playing after the event, but like a good healthy summer fling, it was beautiful while it lasted. I’d love to see you return to it some time, and it leaves me with warm memories that you had a blast with your team
this tournment was magical, and watching Coney's POV felt really special. amazing story telling Coney and brilliant editing Vince, Cinema.
Goated video. Even the takes especially towards the end were right on point. You deserve the tickets king
BEST VIDEO POSTED BY CONEY EVER GREAT EDITING i was there in the streams and holy shit this felt amazing to live through again
Great video with great storytelling, glad to see your content keep evolving!
Fantastic storytelling and editing. This one deserves to be way more popular. Major props to Sajam for putting together an amazing event. Can't wait to see what content comes from the Evo trip! 👑
This was so wonderful to watch. The passion and exitement fighting games bring is something that cannot be matched, Brawlpro's clutch was amazing to see, hope you and your team have fun at EVO!
I love this form of content Coney! Please keep doing it.
Yo this is such a good video. I have never even touched a Tekken game in my life and I've only played a handful of fighting games incredibly casually, but you made such an endearing and easy-to-follow video here; it genuinely had me crying by the end, hahaha, great work!
Glad to see you had a good time and shout out to you, yall, and sajam for bringing more exposure to this game.
Glad to see the supercut. Watching the matches live was absolutely hype and really makes me want to try the game despite having no time to play it.
Watching coney improve at this game and perform in this tournament was absolutely inspirational. Tekken is so much fun to watch.
I initially scrolled past this video because of it being Tekken (I've never played it) but I gave it a chance for it being a Coney video. I have to say, I was as hyped as them when their coach brought them back and qualified for EVO. Great video, Coney, as always. ❤
This such a fantastic video, great pacing and very emotionally investing. Im gonna go buy Tekken
Good stuff, Coney! These past 2 years have been amazing for fighting games, my love for them was rekindled by DBFZ, And now i mostly play Tekken and MK. You did great! And I cannot blame you for not wanting to stick with it competitively. I am just thrilled and so extremely happy to see more poeple get the joy of fighting games that I have. Hopefully one day I run into you and we can have some fun sets. Have fun at EVO! ❤
I’ve been waiting so long for this video. The original tweet had me checking the stream daily. It’s so hype to see the improvement over such a short amount of time
brawlpro deserves the love and now he gets a worlds greatest dad mug and an unlimited line of credit at evo from coney
Amazing video. I'm sad to see you say you can't dedicate yourself to T8 but I get it. Very happy to see you recommend it and also say it's very fun just too much for you right now.
Your adaptation and storytelling is great, thank you for trying Tekken!
I've watched this tourney live, i watched like two vods, and I watched bp's supercut and yet i will still watch this whole thing and probably even rewatch it a couple more times. This event was so hype and it meant so much to me to see everyone so jazzed about some good ass tekken!!!!
This is the most energy I’ve ever seen from coney ever apart from maybe the tie thing with TKBreezy lmao I love seeing it - YOUD BETTER GET THAT COACH A WORLDS GREATEST DAD MUG
I was watching the finals and switching between yours and Mattman's streams. My god, you guys were hype
Awesome video! Loved the editing
yo how have i not heard about this event this video is actually really good its captivating it is really an interesting challenge and to hear you reaching purple rank in TWO DAYS that is just unreal, i reached my green rank with my dvj in tekken 7 after one year and here you are :))
This is such an inspiring video, literally going to get tekken right now. Thank you coney and brawlpro ❤
I’ve watched this 3 times now, coney you did incredible and your story telling is insane !
This, might actually be my new favorite CONEY video. Up till now it was the “Bad Things Happening to Good People” tournament video but, yeah this might take the cake. CONEY’s phenomenal storytelling capability paired with the beautiful editing and enthralling tournament details makes this, PERFECT
Instant all-time great Coney vid. Your commentary really sold the emotional investment, and I was instantly sucked in and cheering as a tekken heathen.
What an amazing video! I was hyped and cheering you on hoping your team would win. I hope that when you go to EVO you and Brawlpro can meet up and do something cool!
This video single handedly convinced me I need to watch Tekken. Coney screaming in hype had me in tears, not from laughing, but from being overwhelmed with how much emotion and passion each moment had. I will never play Tekken, but god DAMN dude. What a good ass game.
Love when Coney like actually makes videos they’re always so so good
as a smash player myself from back in the day and know you from xanadu streams (pm times) haven't really followed you really after can tell one thing for sure certain you really know how to create content cause even watching bps stream that week this video gives a different perspective on how it was it doesnt feel like im watching the video/stream over again so amazing work on this
Honestly this inspired me to want to play Tekken even more! I've never touched a Tekken game in my life but I've always loved other fighting games. Amazing job coney and also great video!
I wish Coney could make more super super high quality videos like this because they’re so much fun to watch but the amount of time it takes not only to record but also edit and write the scripts takes so long it’s always a treat to see when he does them. Great video Coney would love to see another one similar to this one eventually
This video was so good I purposefully refused to look at the progress bar to not have any outcome spoiled.
SUCH A GOOD VIDEO I WAS YELLING WITH YOU GUYS AT THE END SO HYPE
What a riveting story! I was cheering you on from the minute I saw you were on the streamer roster, and watched y'all play live as I prepped for uni midterms. And thanks for your honesty about the game. I personally love it, but with the time available to me, I can only learn enough to play relatively casually. It's great to see how you came to your own conclusions about it. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us!
This was such a fantastic event and this video does an amazing job of telling your story
Mf didn’t learned Tekken he conquered it 🔥🔥🔥
THATS MY STREAMER 🗣🗣‼️
Mighty ruler is above average
My Streamer DOMINATED the IMPOSSIBLE FIGHTING GAME in 12 HOURS?????????
Wonderful video from Coney, we need more edited content like this!
i may know nothing about tekken but the storytelling here is just phenomenal, and what a journey to watch unfold too, from coney reaching purple ranks at record pace to his team's performance in bracket truly inspiring, really makes me want to play King if i do ever pick up Tekken 8
This was an amazing video coney truly well done
Dude what a fucking video this was genuinely amazing I cried. I've played esports all my life and played professionally for a few years from 2016-2018. And the heart and effort that I felt from that team made me remember some good times. God I can't explain how fun that was to watch. Thanks Coney. Couldn't agree more with the ending message tho it's exactly how I feel about acutally PLAYING in esports now adays word for word.
great vid coney, hope to see more of this kind of content!! :)
I'm glad that you mentioned that you're gonna play it casually. I feel like people don't understand that you don't have to aim for the moon in every single competitive game, sometimes it's fun to just boot up and play a few online and call it a day. At the end of the day it's a video game and meant to be enjoyed at any skill level
It's really cool to see another narrative-style video, it feels like its been forever since Coney did one of these.
Coney videos such as this are a real treasure!
27:00 In the eternal words of Tokido, "Fighting games is something so great."
If this is your first time seeing the Sajam Slam and the coach fight felt hype as fuck watching this, I'd HIGHLY recommend scouting out the vod. LazyMattMan and Brawlpro played a friendly set against Imaqtpie and Joey Fury (the people they would've fought if it got past the first 3 games) and they were incredible.
Extremely well written video with a great storyline. Don't worry about writing out your feelings for that losers finals, your reaction said it all. Glad to see some good youtube content.
