Fighters,

We are aware of the current community feedback regarding #TEKKEN8 Season 2.

We are carefully reviewing the balance of the game; expect more information about these changes soon. In addition, an emergency patch will be released in April to address the following issues:

• Paul’s Hammer of the Gods (Forward 1 + 2) results in a guaranteed follow-up on block, which was not intended.

• Jack-8’s Jab Elbow > Make Some Noise (2, 1 Up/Forward 1 + 2) When blocking, the third hit is uninterruptable.

Tekken 8 Season 2 has seen considerable backlash from the community following its launch, with even Pro players voicing their disappointment with the changes made.
