Fang Wei: A Character in Decline

In Patch 1.05, Fang Wei experienced significant nerfs that have impacted his gameplay. His back turned move, previously a launcher, no longer functions as one, reducing his offensive options. Additionally, his mid launcher has been removed, affecting his combo potential. These changes have lowered Fang Wei’s overall standing in the tier list.

Reina: From OP to Balanced

Reina, once considered overpowered, has been balanced out with the latest patch. Her nerfs to Ryen and Ford for 2 have affected her neutral game and mix-up potential. However, her complete move set and strong frames still make her a formidable contender.

Kazuya: Rising in Power

Kazuya has seen several buffs in Patch 1.05, making him a stronger character overall. His consistent combos and improved punishment have significantly increased his damage output and combo potential. With these changes, Kazuya has become a force to be reckoned with in TEKKEN 8.

Lars and Steve: Formidable Opponents

Lars and Steve have both received numerous buffs in the latest patch, enhancing their movesets and making them more formidable opponents. These characters now have improved combo potential, better punishment, and overall stronger gameplay.

Patch 1.05 has brought about significant changes to the TEKKEN 8 tier list. While some characters have seen nerfs, others have received buffs that have elevated their standing in the game. It is important for players to adapt to these changes and explore the new dynamics of the game to stay competitive. As TEKKEN 8 continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how the tier list shifts and how players adjust their strategies accordingly.
