Key information
Professional Tekken 8 player SuperBrine has gone viral after reaching the God of Destruction rank using Alisa while completely blindfolded with a sleep mask. Starting in June 2026, he streamed his entire run across seven separate broadcasts on Twitch, culminating in an early October stream that took him from Beginner to one of the game's top ranks.
SuperBrine confirmed that there was no way he could see through the sleep mask and noted that streaming the run live prevented any cheating. He explained that his primary goal was to prove he could accomplish an impossible challenge and boost his visibility as a professional player, emphasizing that the undertaking was not intended as a criticism of Tekken 8.
The challenge took a significant physical and mental toll, with SuperBrine experiencing burning eyes from keeping them closed beneath the mask, which required frequent breaks and extreme patience. To succeed, he relied heavily on foundational fighting game experience, knowledge of player tendencies across different ranks, and precise audio cues from Tekken 8 to determine hits, blocks, and wall splats.
The feat has sparked online debate regarding the game's difficulty and the character Alisa. However, SuperBrine defended the game, stating that reaching the rank blindfolded requires thousands of hours of game knowledge and cannot be accomplished simply by picking a specific character.
