Bandai Namco has announced that Tekken 8 update 3.00.01 is now available to download, and as previously confirmed, comes with fixes for numerous bugs and unintended behaviour regarding specific characters. Among the most egregious issues had Feng able to perform his Heat Smash multiple times, and Heihachi’s new move – which features a charge-up to apply plus frame pressure – could be spammed to keep the opponent locked down. These have now been fixed, as detailed in the patch notes below.
As reported yesterday, Tekken 8 will receive its next major update in mid-April which will address various balancing based on feedback obtained by Bandai Namco from players. Nothing specific has been outlined yet, but given the outcry following the launch of Season 3, I personally hope that many of the overbuffed characters will be toned down – Law being a glaring example.
# PLAYABLE CHARACTERS
* Character Move Behavior Fixes
– We will implement fixes at an early stage for issues that were unintentionally changed in the previous update (Ver.3.00.00), items where the response has been insufficient, and bugs that are causing significant disadvantage to players.
– Looking ahead, we plan to release update data including balance adjustments—Ver.3.00.02 in mid-April and Ver.3.01 in late spring.
– We are currently reviewing priorities while considering fixes for bugs, adjustments to behaviors that lead to excessive rewards, and performance tuning centered on the Heat system. Fixes that can be addressed in the short term will be implemented sequentially, while changes with greater impact will be introduced step by step through each update after sufficient verification.
# Bug Fixes
– Fixed an issue where the “Magic Mirror” setting configured prior to the update was unintentionally reset when Ver.3.00.00 was applied.
– Please note that settings that were reset when Ver.3.00.00 was applied will not be automatically restored by this update. If necessary, we kindly ask that you reconfigure them via “PLAYER CUSTOMIZE.”
Thank you for your continued support of TEKKEN 8.
