Kazuya
Ideal Team Position: Either
As a child, Kazuya was thrown off a cliff by his father Heihachi, due to him being a "weakling". Kazuya managed to climb back up after gaining the power of the Devil. He became a vicious and evil man from then on, hating his father for what he did. Kazuya had a son named Jin Kazama, who hates him as much as Kazuya hates his father. Kazuya has mastered the power of his Devil transformation and has become one of the most powerful characters in the Tekken series.
There’s two ways to play the Cold-Blooded Prince: the easy way, and the dominant way. The easy way involves utilizing the numerous tools at his disposal to confirm into a combo ender or a safe tag into his partner. The dominant way involves mastering the Electric Wind Godfist, a 2- frame input variation of his regular Wind Godfist (wavedash + MP/HP), to blow through opponent’s attacks and confirm into meterless 400+ damage on the regular. The Electric Wind Godfist is not only completely safe on block and invulnerable to anything other than crouching attacks, but it launches the opponent into a juggle state and actually has extra juggle points that the regular Wind Godfist does not. Furthermore, it does more damage than a regular Wind Godfist. If a player can master this difficult technique, he can put an opponent constantly on the defensive in fear that if they do try to start an offense in neutral, they could potentially pay for it dearly. And again, Kazuya has plenty of other options to frustrate opponents like his Rising Sun techniques, the forced 50/50 of his Hellsweep options, numerous overheads that lead to full combos on counterhit, excellent buttons that can frequently be confirmed into safe pressure, and a respectable arsenal of air normals. Whether it be as a setup man or a damage dealer, Kazuya is a capable character on any team.
