Clive’s copped some hefty nerfs as Patch 1.11 rolls out.

The much-anticipated 1.11 patch has arrived for Tekken 8, and it's packed with plenty of changes. Most notably, Clive players copped a nerf to one of the character's most popular (and annoying) moves, while players will be able to better show off their cosmetics via a new main menu customization feature.

Here's a look at what's coming with Tekken 8's Patch 1.11 — set to be live in-game after today's maintenance!

Clive mains, look away. One of the character's most potent Heat Engager (F1+2) now has an additional 6-frame recovery time, meaning players will be able to punish on a successful block. Developers stated the move had "overshadowed the utility of Clive's other techniques, encouraging monotonous playstyles."

It's tracking ability has also been nerfed if the initial hit misses, meaning opponents can sidestep from a longer range without getting hit.

The bulk of the character changes with Patch 1.11 are for Clive. Check out the full changelog below for a list of what's new.

Main menu outfit customization now available

Those enjoying dressing up in Tekken 8 will now be able to display their costumes and cosmetics on the main menu. Devs have added the ability to assign main menu characters from slots other than the basic preset.

An additional 20 customization slots have also been added across all characters which can be rearranged and favorited for easy use and access. We've included this plus every other main change in the patch notes below.
