Bae Jae-Min

Bae Jae-Min (배재민) (alter ego/nickname; Knee) is a South Korean Tekken player. More known as Knee

Bae Jae-Min is more well known by the game handle 'Knee'. Tekken is just like any other competitive E-Sport game such as Warcraft III, League of Legends, Starcraft etc. and has organized and sponsored tournaments across the world. He has won numerous Tekken tournaments around the world (including WCG 2010), Ultimate Tournament 8, Tekken Crash season 4, Tekken Busters season 1, ESWC and many other more. But apart from the tournaments Bae Jae-Min is still considered by many players all over the world to be Number 1 at this game. One of his main characters in the game is Bryan Fury, a character with a move called 'Taunt', Taunt with its following mix ups is considered one of the hardest step to master the game and is Knee who started digging in and develops around it. Unfortunately this move was considered broken and now has lost it's tracking properties. Though is still do-able. Taunt Jetupper is one of the most trademark moves in this game. It is widely used by players all over the world after Knee invented it. It is also probably one reason where the nickname Knee came from.

Tekken Life
Bae Jae-Min was born and raised in a city near Daegu. In his teenage years he started playing Tekken 3, which was his first Tekken game. During the era of Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection in 2005-2007 which players describe as the 'Golden age' of Tekken. Bae Jae-Min started dominating the game, smashing all of his opponents. Rumours saying players like him use to play on average 8 hours a day, not anymore though because he is busy with work. He then went to Japan to seek more challenge. He even started dominating Japanese players. Destroying almost every player in the arcades he visited. Lots of his gameplay footage was recorded and scattered around Youtube. Coincidentally this was the time when Youtube started to become a big thing and this is when Knee got famous. Bae Jae-Min went to do the compulsory national service for two years during the ending era of Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection around end of 2007. Not long before he went, he made a combo video on his PlayStation Portable with Tekken Dark Resurrection. Unfortunately I could not find it but I'm sure it's on Youtube somewhere. He questioned himself in the video about will he ever come back to Tekken. His Tekken urge became hiatus. When he got back from the army in the year 2009. He immediately starts dominating Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion which was the installment at the time which was also the game that was hosted in the variety of tournaments he has won. Today he is still dominating with NAMCO's latest installment Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Unlimited.
