Tekken 8 – Update 1.04 Patch Notes Coming Tomorrow

A new Fortnite update is arriving today (Friday 3rd May 2024), bringing a whole load of new Star Wars content into the game.

Following the recently announced Tekken 8 roadmap, Bandai Namco has revealed the details of what will be in the next Tekken 8 update. This fits right in with the recent Tekken 8 roadmap, as it said Spring updates would be focused on balance adjustments, which is most of what is seen here.

Longtime Tekken character Eddy Gordo has always been a little polarizing, particularly in Tekken 8, and one streamer has found a way to make him even more of a pain to fight, rising through ranked mode using a script that spams one button.

Developer Rare has released the patch notes for Sea of Thieves' Season 12 update, which includes new weapons, treasure, a cannonball type, and more. The major update arrives alongside Sea of Thieves' full PS5 launch.

Bandai Namco promised a balance patch for Tekken 8 this Spring, and based on the recent notes, it’s a doozy. Going live on May 7th at 7 PM PDT, Ver.1.04.00 contains adjustments to several fighters. Right off the bat, characters like Asuka, Bryan, Jack-8, Panda, Zafina, and Kuma have received some buffs, improving the usability of the game’s new Heat mechanics or further carving a niche for them.

The Tekken 8 community is getting rocked by a bot that's obliterating opponents by repeatedly mashing one button.

A fan-made Tekken 8 bot managed to obtain an online rank of Destroyer by pressing a single button. Bandai Namco's 3D fighter franchise has fostered a sizable and dedicated community since its 1994 debut, but that doesn't mean all the members of the Tekken sphere can agree on acceptable playstyles. Many players particularly look down on «spammers,» but as one user's Tekken 8 bot has shown, there might be a reason why mashing the same move over and over again is such a popular strategy.

Eddy Gordo was already pretty infamous among Tekken fans. He's always been the lightning-fast fighter who is incredibly difficult to counter, but Tekken 8 takes things up a couple of notches. So, mere days after being added to the game, he became one of the least popular characters to fight against.

Bandai Namco has released a brand new trailer to showcase Tekken 8’s season 1, confirming a new stage, mode and fighter. First off the trailer confirms that there will be a battle balance update released, which will tweak various elements for the fighters, though no release notes have been released yet.

Bandai Namco reveals a new free update roadmap full of content like stages and game modes, while also confirming that Lidia Sobieska will be joining the Tekken 8 roster as the second season 1 DLC character. It's been an interesting road for Tekken 8 since it launched in January to acclaim reviews and bypassed numerous sales milestones. In fact, Tekken 8 quickly overtook its predecessor in sales, claiming 2 million copies sold in less than 3 weeks.

Bandai Namco has revealed who will be the second DLC character in Tekken 8, along with news of free updates coming throughout the year.

Button mashing is advised against in fighting games if you want to climb the ranks. But those of us who've been destroyed by unpredictable little brothers going ham on a joystick know a secret. Sometimes spamming works. One Tekken 8 player is proving this point. They have programmed a bot of Eddy Gordo, the whirling Capoeira fighter, to slap the same button repeatedly, and nothing else, while broadcasting its performance against real players on Twitch. The bot is doing surprisingly well.
