Super Smash Bros. Ultimate releasing Kazuya DLC on June 29
The wait for Kazuya in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is almost over. Players can purchase and use the DLC fighter on June 29, director Masahiro Sakurai has announced.
As a reminder, the DLC isn’t just Kazuya himself. You’ll also be getting a new Mishima Dojo stage from Tekken and 39 music tracks from the series.
Here’s a whole bunch of information about how Kazuya plays in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate:
– Heihachi not chosen since he can’t use the Devil Power
– Sakurai thought Kazuya would work well in Smash Bros. if his normal attacks were made as similar as possible to Tekken
– Devil’s Power used for his midair jumps, smash attacks, and special moves
– When he transforms into Devil form, the special move has four patterns: neutral, side, up, and down
– You input a direction and press B
– B: Devil Blaster (fire beam)
– Side special: Devil Fist (fast punch that rushes forward and through opponents)
– Up special: Devil Wings (ascend high)
– Down special: Heaven’s Door (grab opponent and throw them to the ground)
– When your damage is at or exceeds 100% or stamina drops below 25% of max health in Stamina Mode, go into a once-per-stock Rage mode
– This increases your attack power by 1.1 times
– If you meet a certain condition, can use a once-per-stock throw called Rage Drive
– Rage state ends after using Rage Drive
– No time limit on Rage mode, but if you take more than a certain amount of damage, it will end
– Rage state ends quicker if you use Rage Drive and it misses
– Final Smash: Final Blaster
– Kazuya automatically turns around to face opponent in one-on-one battles
– Normal neutral: hold or repeatedly press attack button to make Kauzya perform 10 Hit Combo
– If you leave a slight gap after the second neutral attack, then attack again, you’ll use his Flash Punch Combo
– Dash attack if Leaping Sidekick
– If you quickly tilt the left stick forward two times, then attack, he’ll perform a Left Splits Kick
– Attack twice while inputting upward for Twin Pistons
– Tilt diagonally upward and repeatedly press the attack button to use Roundhouse or Triple Spin Kicks
– Attack while inputting to the side for Oni Front Kick
– Tilt diagonally forward and down and press the attack button twice to use Tsunami Kick
– Input down and attack for Nejiri Uraken
– Tilt diagonally backward and down for Stature Smash
– Tilt back and attack for Flash Tornado
– Tilt back and diagonally up, then attack, and you’ll get Jump Side Kick
– If you tilt diagonally forward and attack while crouching, you’ll get Tombstone Crusher
