Crucially, the update altered hitbox persistence for mid-kicks across multiple characters. Previously, some mids felt like invisible tripwires; now they traded that property for slightly shorter reach. Hitstop buffering was reduced in one or two move classes, making precise timing cleaner and removing some of the more extreme plat-level exploits. Netcode patches rolled out quietly—latency smoothing tuned to prioritize fewer rollback artifacts during high-action exchanges. Seaside Resort, Tekken 8 TEKKEN 8 Patch Notes v1
