Results: TEKKEN 8 at Combo Breaker 2025
Despite the impressive and thrilling nature of TEKKEN 8 Evo Japan 2025, it was notably missing a significant competitive element: the participation of Pakistani players. Unfortunately, Arslan Ash was unable to secure a visa, while ATIF and other strong competitors were prevented from traveling due to escalating tensions between Pakistan and India during that period.
2025’s Combo Breaker event truly embodies the spirit of the TEKKEN world, with attendees hailing from Pakistan and Korea, alongside a resilient contingent from the United States who won’t back down even in the face of renowned competitors gracing the tournament pools and brackets.
