Just a small showcase of work as i continue to look for a place to call home
Any support is beyond appreciated ❤️+♻️
As of this past weekend, I have made the decision to step away from Luminosity Gaming. I’m grateful for the opportunity I was given, but I feel that the direction of the company no longer aligns with me.
I am now seeking new opportunities—whether full-time, part-time, or project-based. Any support, referrals, or connections would be greatly appreciated.

My thoughts on Patch 2.02:
I am grateful for how often we are getting updates but kinda hoped for them to be bigger. Some of the patches we've gotten so far feel reactionary to social media backlash which isn't a good way to balance the game - a new approach is definitely needed.
There are some great changes to Claudio and Lars but no nerfs to the other problematic characters like Asuka and Zafina. Why are buffs even happening at all for any character in v2.02 and in the July Patch when all characters are more than viable? There's still too many moves (some of the new ones added to S2 included) that are too strong.
I think the following should be prioritised in the near future: changes to Strong Aerial Tailspins, Installs and Heat Smashes which still remain super advantageous on block.
I really love this franchise and just want Tekken to be better. Stop chasing trends and balancing based on online outrage. Bring back the soul, the depth and the identity which made Tekken great so it can blossom even more.

Harada-san, I really don't want people to put dirt on your name and on the legacy your series has created, but at the same time, that respect that I speak of is a two way street. We know that the Tekken team can do better than that, both in balancing and community feedback.

In any case, it is clear to me that the result is a disconnect between what the community wants and the tuning results.
I understand that whatever words I may be accused by the community about it, that is not the essential issue and it is not the time to worry about it.
We have our Battle & Tuning team working around the clock to read through all the feedback logs from the community and work on future policies and changes for the better.
Thanks

For real tho 😆
Honestly, he's slightly worse, but mostly just different, they want you to pressure much more with plus frames and chIp damage, which is super weird for Lee since his offense originally isn't designed around these kinds of moves, but he's not weak AT ALL.

I must say, I am very happy for the Russian 🇷🇺 players for this upcoming TWT.
It's a very large, talented and dedicated community of players that have not been able to travel and pursue their passion.
I look forward to seeing some of you at upcoming tournaments #TWT2025

Tekken has always been the game, that brang people together even within it's in-game narrative. It was always the most appealing thing about Tekken for me growing up. I know Russia has done harm, but it's time we separate the player from the sins of their country.

Hello! My nickname is Higem, and I am a competitive Tekken player.
I would like to clarify and share my thoughts on the things that have happened in the Tekken community lately.
I've recently entered a TWT event in Bangkok, Thailand - TGU 2024. It was a really great event with a huge amount of top players, and it was amazing to be and play there. I finished in 17th place, a pretty good result for me. Another player by the name of XCC, who almost reached the top 8, was disqualified due to a conflict between his country of origin and the TWT rules. After this unfortunate news spread on social media, the rules were changed, and Chinese players will be allowed to enter TWT tournaments. That's a huge W for everyone. Thank you both, XCC and Bandai Namco!
But I'd like to point out that no further actions were taken for participants from other countries. I was one step away from reaching the top 8, the same as XCC. They most likely would have disqualified me too. Bandai Namco put out a statement that they are going to reconsider their rules for the next Tekken World Tour in 2025, but I am asking that they reconsider sooner. There's going to be a Last Chance Qualifier before the TWT 2024 Finals, and I would very much like to be able to attend it.
I'm thankful that I've been able to participate so far. But at the same time, knowing that's only because nobody knows that I'm from Russia or thinks I won't make it far in bracket, is pretty frustrating. I'd like to make sure I can attend the upcoming LCQ. Yes, I know that you can't show the flag of my country on stream due to the rules, but there are so many possible workarounds for this situation:
- Making a neutral flag to use for all affected players;
- Show the logo of the player's sponsorship instead, like at EWC;
- Show short names of the countries (UK, US, KR, etc.) like at EVO Japan.
As for issues relating to cash prizes, we have PayPal. But money is not the reason why I ask you to allow us to participate. The reason is to make us feel like we're also a part of the Tekken community, the same as everyone else. We should not need to ask every TWT event organizer whether we're allowed to participate or not. We are a part of the world too.
Thank you for reading my concerns, I hope it will make a difference.
