Tekken 8 Scraps Controversial Season 2 Changes After Fan Backlash

During the Tekken Talk Live broadcast on March 23, details about Tekken 8’s upcoming DLC character Anna Williams and Season 2 update, set for release on March 31, were discussed. In this stream, Tekken 8 director Katsuhiro Harada unveiled a highly debated gameplay alteration that has caused quite a stir in the gaming community. This contentious change in Tekken 8’s history involves throw breaks now causing chip damage to the player who successfully counters a throw during Season 2, leaving competitive players concerned about how this will affect game dynamics as it encourages aggressive play over defensive strategies due to the continued damage incurred when breaking out of throws.
