The Tekken 8 Patch 1.11 is here, bringing significant gameplay updates, character adjustments, and exciting new features. From nerfs to Clive’s infamous F1+2 move to expanded customization options, this update has something for every Tekken enthusiast.
Here’s a breakdown of everything coming with this patch, which goes live after today’s maintenance.
Clive’s F1+2 Nerfed: A Game-Changer for Competitive Play
Clive mains might feel the heat with this patch. The character’s F1+2 Heat Engager move, notorious for its utility, has been adjusted significantly:
- Increased recovery time: Blocking F1+2 now results in a guaranteed punish due to an additional six frames of recovery.
- Reduced tracking ability: If the initial hit misses, opponents can now sidestep more effectively, especially from a longer range.
Developers explained that the changes aim to promote diverse playstyles, as F1+2 had been overshadowing Clive’s other techniques.

- Customizable Main Menu Characters: Assign characters to appear in their custom outfits instead of default presets.
