Urban Square matters to this game, and the best version of it is locked in STORY MODE. The fires, the rubble, the falling debris: it's all already in there, and you never get to fight in it. So this pack takes that experience and makes it a stage you actually play on!
Replaces
Urban Square (Daytime) → Urban Square Ruin (all four variants replace the same stage, so please pick one)
Four variants, all of the same stage. Ruin is a transition version that changes as you progress through the match. Please pick one, they're not meant to stack. Feel free to use my Mod Manager Suite to organize these stage mods, and more! Tekken Resource Hub Mod Manager
Supporters get these first on Patreon, and select variants comes to the public for free after its early access window.

Overview
Urban Square Collide is the ruined city at its quietest, and what you see in Story Mode. Smoke and hazy lighting, fires in the distance, but no falling debris. Nothing moving but the fight.
Urban Square Blaze is the enhanced & lit version, with warm reddish light, more fires burning, and debris every trigger live. This is the loud one.
Urban Square Twilight drops the stage into a cool, blue tinted dusk, with a soft vignette that pulls focus onto the fight. Heat clears the embers for good. This version will remain as a member exclusive for all my Patreon homies!
Urban Square Ruin is a transition stage that escalates with the match. Quiet ruin, then fires and falling debris, then dusk and mist for the last round! As the fight progress, more debris is placed, more fires emerge, and at the end of the match dust settles it all hehe.
Online Safe
Even though this stage is rebuilt from the ground up, the geometry is never touched, so you get no desyncs, yay! Walls, floors, barriers, collision and stage dimensions are all vanilla. The variants change the lighting, show and hide different assets, make debris see-through, and move things around to add some dynamics to the match. That said, if there are any issues or crashes, tell me and I'll do my best to sort out what's going on.

Installation
Extract the archive and drop the .pak, .ucas and .utoc into:
TEKKEN 8\Polaris\Content\Paks\Mods
If you use a mod manager, import the folder as normal.
Only enable one variant at a time. They all override the same stage files, so running two together means whichever loads last wins, and you'll get a mix you didn't ask for.
Known Issues
Potential frame drops can occur, if you have a weaker graphics card you may see frame drops depending on your settings. A performance version is on the way.
Light hair can wash out at certain angles. Blonde, white and silver hair picks up more bloom than on stock, and in close-ups it can lose strand detail.
Blaze flashes white for one frame when entering Practice Mode. The daytime grade is live for the first few frames before the exposure adapts. It doesn't happen in a match, and it doesn't happen on the transition stage.
