Following the Tekken 8 announcement of the seasonal roadmap, Bandai Namco rolled out the patch notes for the next major update. It will introduce a bunch of balance changes to the roster, alongside other functional improvements.
The following list outlines all the update details for patch 1.04:
When it comes to balance changes, patch 1.04 touched upon the majority of Tekken 8 fighters. The notable characters are Azucena and Dragunov, as they have received significant nerfs for their kits since some of their moves were extremely overpowered.
The nerfing department for the next update also includes Xiaoyu and Feng, who were equally annoying to play against owing to their impenetrable in-game pressure. In contrast, previously struggling units like Leroy, Kuma, Panda, and Zafina have received significant buffs that could potentially improve their pick rate going forward.
Lastly, the patch 1.04 official notes also specify various adjustments to the overall kit of Jack 8, Lars, and Jun Kazama. All of these balance changes are bound to improve the online battle experience.
