The Youngest God of Destruction in Tekken 8 Is Not Even a Teen

The competitive Tekken scene is one of the biggest ones out there and just continues growing. One of the most underappreciated aspects of this is that we get to have such a wide pool of talent and personalities from all over the world.

This also includes the rare cases where we see a young talent burst onto the scene. In the past, you might recall AK, who is all grown now, but started competing in his teenage years. KingReyJr is another notable example, who took part in Tekken World Tour when he was just 12!

However, our newest prodigy is even younger than that. Little Dante managed to achieve the God of Destruction rank on Tekken 8 while he's merely 11 years old.

That is itself is incredibly impressive. God of Destruction represents the best of the best on Tekken ranked, but it's not just that. Dante actually already has an offline competitive history under the DRIVALS team. 

We can only wish him luck in future competitions, and it would be very interesting to see how his skill and play style stack up against some of the current established players. After all, the new generation always seems to bring something unique when they join the scene.
