Tekken 8
News
Despite all the difficulties, Pakistani players established themselves as some of the best in TEKKEN 8 Season 1.
An epic TEKKEN 8 clash happened in Seoul, Korea, from March 14 to March 16. It was a team battle between the two strongest TEKKEN regions: Pakistan vs Korea. While Korea dominated the exhibition matches, Pakistani players earned substantially more wins during the competitive tournament.
After the victory, the legendary TEKKEN 8 competitor, Arslan Ash, took a moment to talk about general difficulties Pakistani players face and overcome to get stronger.
Arslan Ash talks TEKKEN 8 at Evo Las Vegas: “I never thought that I would make it this far. I’m so happy I have come this far.”
“When I was a child, we used to have an arcade center in front of my house. So coming back from school, I used to go to the arcade center with my cousins and my brothers and my schoolmates.”

Team Korea won all three exhibition matches. Pakistan celebrated seven victories on Day 1, against three losses. On the Final Day, TEKKEN 8 Pakistani players won 13 matches out of 22.
