Update: This story is being updated with live results as they occur.
At the Evo Tekken 8 showcase today, there will also be some tournament-esque action between some of the game’s biggest legends.
7 former Evo champions are going to be battling against each other, namely TM|Arslan Ash, DRX|Knee, Yamasa|Nobi, JDCR, Talon|Book, LowHigh and Saint.
With Tekken 8 drawing ever closer, we’re going to get a special treat today as these massive Tekken names battle it out against each other in what’s described as an “arcade ladder”-style format in the brand new Tekken 8.
Although it isn’t explicitly stated, presumably this showmatch will be played on the most recent beta version of Tekken 8 which players got to enjoy a few weeks ago.
Besides just the competition, there will also be a special reveal of Tekken 8’s final launch roster character, so make sure not to miss it.
TM|Arslan Ash (Nina, Azucena, Jun)
Talon|Book (Jin, Jun, Claudio)
Eliminated 5th: DRX|Knee (Bryan, Paul, Feng, JACK-8, Raven)

Eliminated 3rd: Yamasa|Nobi (Lars, Feng, Paul, Asuka)
Eliminated 2nd: JDCR (Bryan, Raven, JACK-8)

Note: Each player got to pick 3 characters before each set and had to switch off of a character if they lost to them in a first-to-3. Matches were played in a gauntlet format where the winner got to stay on to face the next opponent.
