Everything begins in the Tekken community. This week, Ign informed how Tekken 8 players reacted with anger to update season 2 due to enormous changes that were introduced in the way the fighting game was introduced.
Notes of patches Strengthening was revealed towards the potential of character damage and offensive pressure, which meant that some in the community complained that Tekken 8 separated too far from Tekken’s classic experience.
The reaction became so bad that some PROKKEN players threatened to abandon the game while others started to leave furious negative reviews.
In response, a team of Tekken programmers from Bandai Namco issued a statement considered fury, and the confirmation of the “emergency patch” will be issued this month to turn to Paul and Jacek, and more changes in balance.

Now the head of development Tekken waded, Tweeth A complaint of one person that the Tekken community went too far, directing anger on specific employees on social media.
“In any case, it is clear to me that the result is disconnecting between what the community wants and the results of tuning,” said Harada.
“I understand that all words can be accused of being not an important issue and it is not time to worry about it.
“We have our battle and tuning team working around the clock to read all community feedback journals and are working on future politicians and changes for the better.
“Thanks.”

It seems unlikely that Harada’s comment serene the furious reactions of the Tekken community or stop the tide of negative user reviews on Steam. Recent reviews now exist “mostly negative” after thousands of negative reviews have been left last week.
“I am surprised,” we read the current “most helpful” user review. “I have never seen that developers are so without contact with the community.
“The novel season has fallen and made every character in Braindead Easy mixing without one buff for defense. From the beginning of Tekken 8 players, they were noisy in the importance of simple mixtures and glaring nerfs in defense compared to Tekken matches, and yet they make a huge patch with many novel movements that emphasize every aspect of the players whose players did not affect the game.
“Nobody, literally, nobody asked for these changes, even new players have never asked for more offensive in the game, which clearly lacks defensive options and is easy to get to the core and win as in most Tekken games.”
