And a slow motion finish that's hype, even for slow motion finishes

This weekend saw the final leg of the Tekken World Tour play out as the finals now await worthy competitors next weekend.

Tekken 7 European Regionals played out at Paris Games Week, and we had a ton to choose from in the way of highlights.

All of today's moments come from the top eight bracket, though the entire tournament was naturally filled with great plays and intense situations.

To kick things off, we jump right to the grand finals to watch as CGG|Tissuemon and CKT|Blackbeard try to best each other.

We see crazy good plays all the time in our highlights post, but rare are the ones wherein we get awesome sequences from both players as well as a slow down finish.

Also, add the intensity of this being in the grand finals reset, and you have yourself an amazing display of tournament action:

HG|Mitrust-Storm dropped his juggle on TDG|Fergus at a crucial moment, but almost casually just finds his way back into the sequence and nails it to close out the game and ensure himself at least a third place finish.

Speaking of second chances, Blackbeard had dropped this Josie sequence earlier in the tournament, and then once again here, but hey, all's well that ends well right? Blackbeard was obvious not shaken, as he followed the round up with a quick perfect immediately after.

Not only does DG|KaneAndTrench have to hold a beautiful whiff punish by Sephiblack, but then has to watch as he gets stuck in a beautiful, but incredibly long, combo:

In true dramatic fashion, it would be Sephiblack that would have to hold the stylish beatdown immediately after as KaneAndTrench capitalizes on a big opportunity:

This wall beat down is gnarly in and of its own right, but it makes things even worse to know this comes directly after a perfect by Mistrust-Storm:

Slow downs are virtually always sick, but this came at the end of a very back and forth round:

All we have to say about this next one is, get ready to FLYYYYY!

With this final sequence, Blackbird confirms his plans for next weekend. We'll see you in San Francisco.
