Patch 1.05 for Tekken 8 is scheduled to be released tomorrow. As such, Bandai Namco has released patch notes for the upcoming update.
This is a pretty massive update that applies balance adjustments to a bunch of characters. Of those that have received changes, Jun and Kazuya probably received the most changes with this latest update.
Version 1.04 turned out to not be very kind to Jun Kazama. Recent tier lists, such as Speedkicks’ version 1.04 tier list, have labeled Jun as going from being one of the strongest characters in Tekken 8 to one of the weakest.
It would seem that version 1.05 is attempting to remedy some of the damage done to Jun’s kit. This is being done by adding more moves that recover health.
Kazuya is also receiving a long list of buffs. Despite being the face of the Tekken series, it’s known that Kazuya is extremely difficult to pick up and play, so these changes are attempting to make it a little more rewarding to use Kazuya.
Aside from those two, significant adjustments have been made for Alisa, Asuka, Azucena, Bryan, Claudio, Devil Jin, Dragunov, Eddy, Feng, Hwoarang, Jack-8, Jin, King, Kuma, Panda, Lars, Law, Lee, Leo, Leroy, Lili, Nina, Paul, Raven, Reina, Shaheen, Steve, Victor, Xiaoyu, Yoshimitsu, and Zafina.
As such, there seem to be changes for the entire cast, including universal changes. There are for sure going to be shifts in the tier lists with this patch. Check it all out below:
