TWT 2025 Finals: Extreme battles for the top TEKKEN 8 trophy

This tournament wraps up the second season of the TEKKEN 8 World Tour. While players like Arslan Ash, ATIF, ULSAN, and Rangchu are the ones to watch, anyone competing at this level is incredibly skilled and capable of winning.

Man, TWT 2025 Finals was insane! Four days of straight-up Tekken at its absolute best. Seriously, all the top players from around the globe were there, and they earned their spot. It was a brutal road just to get the chance to fight for that trophy!

This event really showcases the current top-performing characters. After some uncertainty in Season 2, it’s interesting to see which characters are being chosen by the best players.
