Chikurin chose Lili and Keisuke chose Kazuya Mishima!
Keisuke shows a furious attack from the start of the match, and takes the first game, although one round is taken. Chikurin, who could declare his side only once before the second game, moved to the right side and took the second and third games in quick succession.
The game continued, with both players holding their own, but Chikurin was the first to reach victory with a score of 4-3.
Chikurin, who had to take this match to win, took the eighth match. Both players had won two rounds and had little energy left, so it was a heated battle that could have gone either way, but Chikurin prevailed!
The two have been friends since competing in a team competition 10 years ago, and they shook hands enthusiastically after the match.
The winner, Chikurin, received a three-month supply of "Tekken Original Design Pringles," designed by producer Katsuhiro Harada to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Tekken.
In the closing talk of the exhibition match, both players commented on their ambitions for the coming year.
The first half of the year was good, but the second half was quite difficult, and I often failed to make the top 8 in overseas tournaments.
I have traveled around the world this year, but I have only placed 2nd in major tournaments, so I have become like a silver collector.
The exhibition match between Chikurin and Keisuke, both professional license holders, must have been a heated competition. The exhibition match that took place this time is available on tekkenchannel, so check it out if you missed it!
