In the professional competitions of the world’s most popular fighting video game Tekken, Pakistani players are not second to none, but the director of the game has expressed his surprise at its popularity in Pakistan.
Introduced in Japan 30 years ago, the seventh edition of the game was released at the beginning of this year, this video game was dominated by players from the Far East, but 4 of the current top 10 professional video game players are from Pakistan.
Arsalan Ash Siddiqui came into the limelight when he won the EVO Fighting video game tournament in 2019 and then went on to win the title 4 more times and became a fan favorite.
Arslan Ash celebrates after winning the 2019 World Championship.
In the ongoing Red Bull Golden Letter tournament in Great Britain, the world number 10 Arslan Siddiqui was out of the tournament at the beginning, however, Pakistan’s own Atif Butt won the second position at the global level. However, game directors are still surprised as to how this game is becoming so popular in Pakistan. Director of video game Tekken, Katsuhiro Harada, while talking to BCC, said that we did not know that Pakistanis play Tekken games. , we have not even been to Pakistan yet and I am still very interested to know why Pakistanis are crazy about this game and how they play such a good game.
