@tekkendocs@AZYG4LYFE I think it should change midnight local time. It's a bit misleading when we both get "16 May" but a different set of questions. Otherwise, having a countdown on the site for next reset could work too.
@tekkendocs@AZYG4LYFE Haven't done any science on it, but people that do it around 12:xx am vs people that do it some time later in the day (for NZ) get a different set of moves. We've observed this quite a few times now
@jchensor You're right. One of the only positive things added in T8 that I can think of right now is how satisfying the glass shatter effect sounds with armor break moves. It adds satisfaction without adding extra cutscene!
@jchensor SF6 has done the same. Alex and Viper have some REALLY long animations. SFV Abigail's backthrow was extremely frustrating to get hit by just because you had to sit and watch for so long.
@jchensor "It’s emphasized, it’s overly dramatic..."
Something I *really* hate about Tekken 8 is the amount of cutscenes they've added. It's ridiculous and genuinely reduces decision making/mental stack. Between cutscenes and combos, it feels like you're watching a movie sometimes.
Now that its the end of the TWT Regional season I am posting with great concern to the legitimacy of the Oceanic TWT rankings. @nickromancer_tk has already posted with great evidence the player Allidar is benefiting from inflated and boosted numbers at his Dojos. After looking at each Dojo that has awarded Allidar points I have found that the events often have "semi DQs" and a massive amount of full DQs however they carefully ensure to never drop below +64 and +48 man events so Allidar is able to get as many points as possible.
These 48 and 64 man events are very important for Guam as those numbers are not easily reached in Australia.
In October the bracket of 110 entrants has a total of 46 DQs leaving the total players at exactly 64 players.
The Bracket in November has a total amount of 40 players and 8 DQs leaving the players at 32 players.
September is one of the most drastic cases as this bracket has 70 entrants with 20 partial DQs and at least 8 full DQs. Of these partial DQs many of the players lose 0-2 in winners or losers side as one of their games, one of these players being Kensanity the president of the Guam Esports Federation who runs many of these Dojos.
Another case of a "64 man event" is Augusts Dojo with 104 attendees has a total of 52 partial DQs and 18 full DQs meaning half of the players at this event were DQd. Julys Dojo has a total of 54 attendees with 7 DQs which leaves them at a 48 man event exactly.
Season 2.0 drops, Shaheens ss1+2 is an i20 mid +5 ob with a ch knockdown and guaranteed hit. Too strong gets nerfed to +3 ob
Miary Zo drop - ss2 is an i20 mid +4 ob with stance entry and a CH combo.
Have we learned nothing

As someone who cares deeply about competition in the Oceania Tekken scene, I feel it’s important to bring attention to something that’s been affecting a lot of players. There’s a serious integrity issue in Tekken 8 TWT’s Oceania region, particularly involving Guam. @BNEesports@TEKKEN@mykeryu@nkt_dreamer@Harada_TEKKEN
Evidence suggests that Allidar may be benefiting from irregular tournament reporting (hosted by GuamEsportsFederation) , which creates unfair advantages on the regional leaderboard. Unfortunately, members of the community have previously raised these concerns with Bandai Namco, but with no clear resolution yet, this approach feels like the best way for the community’s voice to be heard. Although I want to be clear: if there’s verifiable evidence that disproves any of this, I genuinely welcome correction.
Guamesportsfederation (on Instagram) appears to be hosting numerous tournaments throughout the past two years to support Allidar’s run for 1st place on the Oceania leaderboard. In 2024, Allidar placed first on the leaderboard allowing him to be flown overseas to participate in the LCQ.
