A few months after launch, Tekken 8 has received its first DLC character in Eddy Gordo, a fan-favourite veteran terrifyingly proficient in the Afro-Brazilian martial art of capoeira. Eddy looks to be just as flashy and versatile as ever, manoeuvring around attacks and transitioning into a variety of tricky stances to keep his opponent guessing, ready to launch powerful counter attacks at any moment. All this, while maintaining a graceful dancing form. It's still too early to place him anywhere on a tier list, but he's already one of the game's prettiest characters to watch in action.
Elsewhere in the patch, fighting game player who's suffered a 1-bar connection match in ranked with no way to escape it.
This update also introduced the Tekken Fight , a battle system similar to Street Fighter 6's own Fighting , with standard and versions of the offering slightly different cosmetic rewards.
While the patch notes state their intention to correct unintended move behaviour, this patch has changed a few properties to moves that make certain combos more inconsistent and break some characters' standard wall combos. This is due to a change to Tornado moves that makes opponents interact differently with the wall, requiring completely new combo routes to be created thanks to the change.
This update has also introduced a bug that leads to issues with Rage Arts – if a player inputs certain grab moves during the startup of an opponent's Rage Art, the player can move freely during startup and avoid the Rage Art entirely.
