- # Character Move Behavior Fixes and Balance Adjustments
- [Balance Adjustment Policy for Ver.2.03.01]
- In TEKKEN 8 Ver.2.03.01, we have implemented further balance adjustments to continue improving the battle environment.
- This update includes ongoing adjustments to moves that offer excessively high rewards and also introduces changes to Rage Arts.
- (1) Ongoing Adjustments to Moves with Excessively High Rewards
- We have continued our efforts from the Ver.2.01 update to address moves that offer disproportionately high rewards relative to their risks, as well as high-performance moves that can easily create repeated advantageous situations and lead to one-sided outcomes.
- (2) Adjustment to the Frame Advantage on Block for Rage Arts
- In the Ver.2.00.02 update, the maximum health was increased from 180 to 200, making it more common for characters to enter Rage state with higher remaining health.
- As a result, there were more situations where simple punishments like throws after blocking a Rage Art were no longer sufficient to secure a KO.
- In this update, the frame disadvantage of Rage Arts on block has been changed from -15F to -18F, enabling all characters to reliably punish with air combos.
- Regarding the Previously Announced Character Buffs
- As announced in the previous patch notes, we originally planned to implement buffs for several characters that would have minimal impact on the overall battle balance.
- However, after careful consideration, we decided to limit the scope of this adjustment to Devil Jin only, in order to keep the impact on the overall balance to a minimum.
- [Future Balance Adjustments]
- Considering that several major esports tournaments will take place in August, the update scheduled for August (Ver.2.04) is not expected to include any battle balance adjustments.
- Following that, we plan to continue delivering small-scale updates focused mainly on bug fixes and minor balance adjustments.
