15. January 2025 by Valentin Pasetti

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.
