Online Match Types with Matching Standby

• Changed the behavior when no input is made in the confirmation dialog box that appears when a match is found.
• If the dialog box closes without selecting either “Yes” or “No,” matchmaking will be paused.
• Matchmaking can be resumed by closing the “Practice Menu” or dialog box that opens automatically.
• There are no changes to the matchmaking specifications for “PLAYER MATCH.”

Note:

• This change was implemented based on player feedback received through channels such as the official TEKKEN Dev Feedback Portal (DFP).

TEKKEN BALL

• Some of Kunimitsu’s moves allowed the kunai to excessively restrict the opponent’s actions upon contact. As a result, the behavior has been adjusted so that thrown kunai will only hit the ball.
• The moves adjusted are as follows: “Savage Kunai Throw,” “Piercing Kunai Throw,” “Cloud Scorching Blossoms,” “Rinbu Kick > Savage Kunai Throw,” and “Rinbu Kick > Piercing Kunai Throw”

PLAYABLE CHARACTERS

Character Move Behavior Fixes and Balance Adjustments

• In Ver.3.02.01, we implemented system adjustments regarding health values and Quick Recovery, along with move behavior and bug fixes, and performance adjustments for select characters.
• Regarding performance adjustments, we reviewed select moves that have a high impact on the competitive environment and where challenges were observed in their risk-reward balance, adjusting them so that the range of options in the mind game expands for both offense and defense.
• We will continue to monitor the impact on the competitive environment and on battle as a whole, and will keep working toward realizing a better competitive environment.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue in “LEADERBOARDS” where the player’s own information displayed at the bottom of the screen would not appear correctly under certain conditions.

Note:

• This fix was implemented based on feedback received from players through channels such as the DFP.

Thank you for your continued support of TEKKEN 8.
