This page is for Tekken 8. For Tekken 7, see Kazuya (Tekken 7).

Kazuya is Tekken boiled down to its essentials. Block a move. Punish it. Go for Okizeme. He plays a high-risk, high-reward style using the traditional Mishima tools of Hellsweep and Left Splits Kick. Tekken 8 has given him some safer options in ff2 & d+1+2 as well as enormous rewards in Heat.

His heat system is akin to his devil transformation from previous games. It powers up a large amount of his stable moves. The Hellsweep deals more damage and floor breaks. FF2 now launches via heatdash. CD3, a common combo ender, deals better damage and gives better oki. Additionally he gains access to a panic move in 1+4 and db+3+4~df let's you setup oki.

• Incredible Punishment
• Overwhelming Mixups
• High Damage Combos
• Amazing Okizeme

Weaknesses
