Common

Health Gauge: The maximum health value has been increased from 180 to 200. Accordingly, the threshold for activating Rage has also been raised. Since the Rage activation threshold is based on 23.5% of a characters total health, the increase in maximum health will change the Rage trigger point from 43 to 47 HP.

As a result of this change, Rage may now last slightly longer than before, and there may be more situations where it's harder to K.O. an opponent in Rage. Since this could lead to more frequent comeback scenarios, the baseline activation threshold of 23.5% is under review and may be adjusted in a future update.

Note: This change does not apply to the following modes:

- STORY "The Dark Awakens"

- Episode "Unforgotten Echoes"

- TEKKEN BALL

Throw: In the previous update, adjustments were made to ensure that throws would still offer some advantage to the attacker, even if the throw was broken-based on the idea that throws are les effective against opponents who can react and tech after seeing the throw animation.

However, considering that throw breaking is a high-level technique reflecting a player's practice and reaction speed, it was deemed excessive to impose a penalty on the defender for successfully breaking a throw. As previously announced, the following change has been implemented:

- The mechanic where the defender receives 5 recoverable damage upon a successful throw break has been removed.

Heat Engagers: After a hit, when transitioning into a running motion, the opponent's recovery time has been reduced by 8F, changing the frame advantage from +17F to +9F.

Heat Dash: Changed post-hit aerial combo damage scaling from 70% to 60%.; Changed the recoverable damage inflicted when performing a Heat Dash after forcing the opponent to block a move from 7 to 2.; Note: Due to this change in aerial combo scaling, a discrepancy has been identified between some sample combos and actual combo damage. This will be addressed in a future update.

Chip Damage: To reduce chip damage on block, the following adjustments have been made:; Moves that do not normally deal chip damage.; To lessen the additional chip damage applied during Heat, the chip damage scaling has been changed from 25% to 20%. As a result, chip damage from blocking Heat Smash attacks has been lowered overall.

Moves that deal chip damage by default

Adjustments were made so that no additional chip damage is applied during Heat for these moves.

Moves whose properties change in Heat, or moves that deal increased chip damage due to a character-specific Heat system.

Due to the revised chip damage calculation, some moves were exhibiting excessive variance in chip damage. Balance adjustments have been made accordingly.

Ki Charge: In the previous update, adjustments were made to reduce the overwhelming impact of counter-hit based offense. However, it has since been determined that combining charged attacks with elements like Rage or stage gimmicks can lead to excessive, potentially match-ending damage in a single hit. As such, further rebalancing has been implemented.; When a charged attack hits the opponent, the damage scaling on the first hit has been changed from 150% to 110%.

Moves that Induce Wall Stagger: In the future TEKKEN 8 updates, the development team is committed to minimizing situations that lead to one-sided exchanges.

Among these, moves that trigger a wall stagger on block were a particular concern. Such moves could easily create extreme advantage "+10F" or more-when used near the wall, forcing the defending player into powerful mix-up situations without any opportunity to respond.

To reduce these kinds of one-sided scenarios, the team has reviewed all wall-stagger-on-block moves across all characters. Any move that previously created an advantage of +10F or greater on block will no longer trigger a wall stagger when blocked.

Note: Specific affected moves are listed in the character-by-character adjustment details.

Throw Break: Fixed an issue where certain input combinations allowed players to break throws that should only be breakable with either 1 only or 2 only, effectively enabling breaks for both types of throws.
