Participating Players
The best-of-the-best TEKKEN 8 fighters have been training for this moment.
Rules
The fight for glory must be fair and respectful
About
The Characters: We start where every fighters’ journey left off in the previous season. Kazuya is on a path towards world domination. Lili has a long-time rival she wants to beat. Every character has their own fighting style that pro players must master, from Rage Arts to Heat Systems to fast-thinking counterattacks.
The Plot: TEKKEN 8 tourneys have long-time competitors face off 1v1 for a chance at the Top 8. They must select a fighter that best suits their playstyle and skillset to get there.
Matches are incredibly fast-paced and intense, with players finding the perfect time to strike, unleash combos, and utilize special abilities.
Why: Nothing is more heart-pounding than two pro players with health bars one hit from death, fighting strategically and intensely on stage. The FGC is one of the most passionate groups there is, making TEKKEN 8 at EWC one of the most intense tournaments to witness. There will be long-time rivalries playing out on stage, tears, and an audience that is on the edge of their seats the whole time.
