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.
