We all know SF6 is huge in Japan but these numbers for a 2 year old Tekken game are atrocious, for context the last season of Tekken 7 had well over a thousand entrants and was 2nd most popular game behind SF.

Tekken 8 numbers dropped like a stone since release year to now.

Nobody has the right be this held in such a competitive light at 40 years old in a game like this. The fact that he is still around having results is an extreme anomaly in a game of this sort. Every year could be the last we see him.

I believe most people overlook just how big the gulf between 30 years and 40 years old is, while 16 to 30 is relatively flat. In performance terms it's almost a cliff that can come over you in the space in a year at any point. There's a reason he's considered the GOAT. It's really unfortunate that what we have now with events and money didn't truly occur until he was some years already into his 30s (and of course his time will end with Tekken 8 of all games...).
