 Behavior fixes and performance adjustments for some characters

  • In v1.08, in addition to the behavior adjustments of several characters, we implemented small balance tweaks based on recent online match data. For certain characters whose performance stood out, we reduced their effectiveness within a range that does not affect their behavior in order to maintain system stability.
  • In the upcoming v1.09 update, we are considering adjustments that will affect the behavior of certain characters (such as Dragunov and Alisa), including changes to the tracking performance of their attacks and the reaction of opponents when hit.

Thank you for your continued support of “TEKKEN 8.”
