Hello I am a moderator and am here to give you an answer.
Shirdel is a trusted and respected member of the Tekken community, and given that he has followed these rules in the tens of thousands of other Tekken speedruns that he's done over the years, no moderator has any reason to doubt that he would not follow the same rules in this run also.
This is also linked into the reason he is a moderator in the first place (and why he can self-verify), by being a trusted member of the community who other community members believe should hold that power.
I have since watched his run and can say that I have no reason to doubt that the run is absolutely valid and follows the rules, based on the AI behaviour (which is useful as a secondary guide to other runs on the board that do not show their difficulty, as this is not actually required as long as the difficulty can be proven).
You will find that if you put as much time and effort into speedrunning this series as Shirdel has, you will be able to easily contest the time you are claiming is invalid.
you're still able to run the game without emu runs being shown on the boards, if you care so much about having your name up there then just buy the game lol
Cyberscore's much more complete imo, seems pretty redundant to have the data in two different places
How do you calculate IGT?
Only just saw this reply, just add up the times you got on each level
You don't have to play with music, but from what you've said it's clear that the ISO you use is likely not very reliable. I'd recommend finding another ISO that works as intended, and using that for speedruns instead.
Right now the community seems kinda quiet. There aren't many places to share strats other than the forums on this site, and there isn't much interaction between runners of each game. I feel that having a community Discord server would be useful for sharing strats, and helping new runners pick up the game. Obviously there's no point creating one if nobody is interested, so let me know what you think, and if enough people want it, I'll set it up.
(For those who don't use Discord, you should check it out here: https://discordapp.com/ )
It appears nobody responded here but since I'm running the game again I agree, using real time in this when IGT is used in the other games doesn't really make any sense anyway. IGT is much more accurate too.
