Who is Joe Budden, the toilet paper throwing Tekken player at CEO 2025?

A masked Tekken 8 participant beat a professional at CEO 2025 and was then disqualified for throwing bathroom paper.

The Tekken group loves its high gamers, however might love chaos much more. Essentially the most memorable second from Combo Breaker was top pros competing shirtless quite than whoever gained. CEO 2025 was yet one more occasion to characteristic unusual habits from its Tekken 8 event.

A participant going by ‘Joe Budden,’ no relation to the rapper, arrived at CEO 2025 carrying a Physician Doom cosplay full with a face-concealing masks. His id is just not identified but he turned the one to look at at CEO 2025 as a result of his mysterious look and spectacular abilities. In truth, Joe Budden ended up beating Wolves Esports’ Bilal ‘Bilal’ Ilyas in swimming pools, getting a surprising 2-0 victory that left the group perplexed.

On the finish of the match, Joe Budden gave a fist bump to a really visibly upset Bilal. It appeared like a sportsmanship second however then Joe Budden shoved a pack of bathroom paper into the digital camera, pointing at the words ‘Extremely Gentle’ on the packaging. After that, he went backstage and tossed the bathroom paper to the commentators.

Whereas the commentators found it quite hilarious, event officers disqualified him. This put a cease to his fairly spectacular run and he he missed out on his probability at reaching High 24. The rationale? Gamers should not allowed to go backstage. Apparently, Joe Budden had even pushed his well past a event organiser to get again there in keeping with some studies.

“That’s the factor — none of that s— was an issue. They instructed me they discovered it humorous, even throwing the bathroom paper. The issue that they had is that I went backstage… Right here’s the factor, no one stopped me once I went backstage,” Joe Budden said in an interview.

“I feel any individual was saying ‘cease’ behind me, however I used to be already 5 to 10 ft away from the commentators desk. Then somebody grabbed me. I attempted taking a number of steps ahead. He was struggling just a little bit to carry me again as a result of I’m about 6’2. I tossed the bathroom paper and walked away and allow them to ship me again exterior.”

It’s an unlucky — and unusual — finish to a really wild Tekken 8 run at CEO 2025. But it surely doubtless gained’t be the final time we see Joe Budden compete on a giant stage.

Joe Budden is a web-based Tekken 8 participant identified for grinding ranked matches. His aggressive Claudio play is hated throughout the group but Joe Budden has determined to take the present on the street.

Earlier this 12 months, the masked competitor attended Evo Japan. He positioned 129th out of nearly 1,000 opponents with a 4-2 document. CEO proved to be an excellent higher in-person displaying, putting sixty fifth out of 642 opponents. He in all probability would have made it additional if he didn’t run backstage along with his Extremely Gentle Charmin’ bathroom paper.

Nonetheless, his commanding victory towards Pakistani professional Bilal — who has beat Arslan Ash prior to now — demonstrated that he has lots of expertise in LAN tournaments, regardless of his common on-line grind.

The Tekken 8 group was largely dissatisfied at Joe Budden’s DQ. They felt he was ‘taking part in the half’ of a villain and loved the leisure. Between the Ki Charging taunt and Extremely Gentle diss, followers have been calling his ‘supervillain’ show lots of enjoyable to witness.

“Stuff like for this reason I like the FGC,” said one Tekken 8 viewer.

Hopefully Joe Budden seems at one other huge preventing recreation occasion within the close to future with extra villain antics — ones that gained’t get him disqualified this time.
