Tekken 7 Fated Retribution is once again getting a big update tomorrow bringing T7FR up to version D09 alongside adding the new character Master Raven to the arcade title. Another wave of balance changes are included this time and they've now been published on Tekken-Official to be reviewed. Interesting thing they here is that they now list the notations and exact frame and damage value changed in the patch notes so that helps in keeping track of all the changes. It's a big change list so there's a lot to look through and review. Should be noted that although these may give us the idea on the changes made to the game, it's still best to review the changes as they are in-game. I'm now done doing most of the translation below but here's the source if you want to check it out:

Tekken-Official Version D ≫ http://www.tekken-official.jp/news/?p=4781

Note: Don't want to end up explaining the concept behind frame data in fighting games but for the sake of clarity, a move's recovery frames being reduced is an improvement since they will recover faster from doing the move.

Here's a video that'll hopefully help.
