Tekken 7 FR - Arcade Online Update 'Version H' Balance Changelist

Announced on Tekken-Official is 'Version H' for Tekken 7 Fated Retribution in arcades in Japan and Korea. This update is smaller then the previous ones so extensive character balance changes weren't made but this version still has some adjustments to make since this version will be the one used in the King Of Iron Fist Tournament 2016 Grand Finals. For the sake of keeping up with all the versions, the last known version of the game was Version D that came in with Master Raven. This new arcade update is skipping Version E, F & G which is not publicly known. It's a minor note though. For those competing in the Global finals for the King Of Iron Fist 2016 next month in December, here are all the changes coming with Tekken 7 Fated Retribution Version H. Version H will go live in arcades on November 29.

Tekken 7 FR - Feng Combo Damage Notes from Nekosuke (Ver. D)

Japanese Feng player Nekosuke recently got around to testing out the damage values of a bunch of different Feng combos and punishers at an arcade. It costs additional money on top of the coin you put into the T7FR machine for access to all this data in the Premium Practice mode so it's good info from someone who 'took the bullet' for us so to speak. All these notes were posted from his Twitter account in images but I've transcribed them all into our notation system for us to read. You can catch the sources over on Nekosuke's Twitter account.
