TEKKEN 8 Season 2 Patch Notes

  

Bandai Namco has released the official TEKKEN 8 patch notes for Season 2. First up, the Battle System Adjustment patch notes outline major system updates such as expanding strategic options with the Heat System, rebalancing offense & defense (within the Heat System), improvements to buff defensive mechanics, and changes to throw mechanics. As usual, Bandai Namco also provides helpful explanations on the reasoning behind Season 2's system changes. For your convenience, the complete Battle System Patch Notes are available below. [UPDATE] The V2.00.01 full patch notes containing additional details and changes for all characters are now available on Bandai Namco's official site.
 

 
During the most recent TEKKEN Talk stream, Bandai Namco provided additional Season 2 details and previewed some of the brand new moves for several characters, as well as a live demonstration of Anna Williams. Additionally, they announced a cross-collaboration with Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land—adding FREE collaboration items to TEKKEN 8, as well as new fan art character panels arriving in Season 2. You can watch the latest TEKKEN Talk featuring Katsuhiro Harada, Michael Murray, Kohei "Nakatsu" Ikeda, and Yasuda in its entirety below.
 

 

SEASON 2 — NEW GAMEPLAY DETAILS:
 
• Neutral High Power Crush Heat Engagers will have their heat engaging ability removed.
 
• All Throws, if escaped, now inflict minimal chip damage (5 chip damage).

• Combo Damage, Counter, and Punish markers will now appear on the display, clearly indicating successful combos, counter-hits, or punish scenarios. This feature can be toggled ON or OFF in the settings.
 
• Ki Charge no longer triggers a counter-hit on the first strike. Instead of counter-hit, the initial hit will receive a 1.5 damage multiplier.
 
• Characters will realign when slightly off-axis after a launch to ensure more consistent combo execution.
 

PRACTICE MODE:
 
• Introduction of a new "real" Infinite Training Stage.

TWT RULESET CHANGES:
 
• Top 8 matches will be First to three (FT3).
