Tekken 8 patch 3.02.01 goes live Aug. 20, tweaks Quick Recovery and many characters

Patch 3.02.01 for Tekken 8 went live on Aug. 20 and coincided with Bob’s early access, adding two universal mechanical changes including an adjustment to Quick Recovery. The update applies wide-ranging hitbox, tracking, collision, reversal and positioning fixes across most of the roster while avoiding broad damage changes. Bandai Namco targeted high-impact competitive moves for nerfs on characters such as Bryan, Nina, Lili, Kazuya and Clive, but most adjustments alter behavior or interactions rather than raw numbers. The patch refines problematic mechanics that have been affecting competitive balance without sweeping numerical reworks.

• Patch 3.02.01 launched Aug. 20 and was released alongside Bob’s early access.
• The update introduced two universal mechanical changes, including a Quick Recovery adjustment.
• Most characters received concrete fixes to hitboxes, tracking, collision, reversals, positioning and interaction bugs.
• Targeted nerfs were applied to specific high-impact moves for Bryan, Nina, Lili, Kazuya and Clive; there are almost no direct damage value changes.
