[@theexaltedlt8222]

thank you man for actually putting the inputs on the screen

[@ImmortalFTW01]

Am I the only one that doesn’t like how Kazuya’s combo game changed? Why do we have to be off axis now to get a combo from 3+ electrics? They should’ve kept a tornado option from B2.

[@D_Vorg]

I think it's better this way. His combos were too ez in 7. And we have a new game so it would be boring to have the same staple imo. And you can SSR before the second electric to make it more consistent

[@ImmortalFTW01]

@@D_Vorg That’s what I meant. I shouldn’t have to be off axis or sidestep to achieve a combo from 3+ electrics. Also wouldn’t be bad if they kept his heat burst the same.

[@jonnypaspula]

I miss the old b 1. 2 and 3 electric staple, but i do enjoy his 3,1 WGS combos now

[@LegendaryPlank]

I hate it tbh, you have to work too hard for good damage while so many other characters are breaking 80 off a df2 and 3,1 cancels can eat my farts. I don't want b2, 1 back tbh I always thought it looked a bit crap. All they need to do is improve the hitbox on df1 and that would solve all his combo issues.

[@dominicjacobs5627]

Yup i hate it too but understand this is a new tekken, i mastered doing all forms of electrics at will in T7 , but now i cant even use them in combos... i used to see people doing 3 electrics then heat smash ....why does this not work when i try it? Dya gotta microstep/dash somewhere in there ?

Rip b+2,1 You will be dearly missed

[@adnanasif9538]

yep. But b+2,2 followed by df+1,df+2 is good.

[@OfficialDeathdog]

@@adnanasif9538 I would agree if it didn't drop so much

[@adnanasif9538]

@@OfficialDeathdog A trick for avoiding this is to pad your electrics with an extra forward. two electrics are enough. Don't do EWGF by skipping the down button in the input (yes, EWGF CAN be performed by directly inputting downforward, which makes it a Perfect EWGF). After back 2,2 you will then have enough space to not have it whiff. Or you can make it simpler by just doing df+3,2,1.. It took a lot of practice to optimise this combo route, but it is doable.

[@OfficialDeathdog]

@@adnanasif9538 ahh okay that's fair yeah I usually PEWGF so that makes sense

For electric combo i do ewgf x 2 - dash b2,2 - df1,df2 - 3,1 cancel dash df1,4 . 78 damage and 100% consistent, crazydongpals staple.

[@LegendaryPlank]

The 4 never connects for me, and it's only 68 damage without it so I don't see how you get 78.

[@Wilhians]

0:01 Yes, the power consumed me.

[@leonidaskousta8971]

perfect 👌 video

[@smugaladdin8372]

As an intermediate option for electric I recommend: electric, dash electric, df321 (you can charge it all the way), dash, 31df cancel df1df2/df14. It gives good wall carry, it's very consistent, it's not very hard, and does 98 damage or so if you get the wall combo

[@lonewolfxdash4738]

“Intermediate”

[@otix_tu]

i dont get 98 dmg... wtf

[@adnanasif9538]

@@otix_tu It happens when you are not using electrics, but instead regular god fist.

[@alexanderbruce8950]

[@soultaker432]

This doesn’t seem to work anymore It wont hit if i charge it all the way

[@SalveASMR]

So much effort for just small damage compared to other Bungga characters.

[@OfficialDeathdog]

It's sadly true, but such is the challenge of being a true Mishima. The most satisfying thing to me is when someone complains kazuya is broken and I tell them "go play him then"

[@abyss8551]

@alexanderbruce8950 I don't think you know when to shut your mouth when assuming about another person's range of knowledge. At least actually try to refute my claim instead of being a condescending ass no? 50/50 is literally just another word for mixup, but in Kazuya's case, most people just say his vortex that can loop either using hellsweep or ff3. I was going to make a claim that 50/50 on Kaz itself, while taking minimal skill against less experienced, quickly becomes considerably harder to do because Kazuya's match-up is so well known at intermediate higher level of play and making the opponet respect him can be more bothersome than it should be. I wouldn't reply to a comment given I didn't have prior knowledge on the subject beforehand. That really doesn't make sense now, does it?

Hello, this guide has been a huge help to see what is possible from kaz combo game. I am having trouble with the combo here 0:40 particularly the ending 4 keeps whiffing and I don’t know what is causing it. Is it because my sidestep is bad or the launch isn’t high enough or something else entirely.Thanks for all your help with your guides, looking forward to more content in the future

[@TK_TheFURY]

Yup, it might be side step

Optimal combos? No sir, there's nothing optimal with this character anymore

[@KaizenMMA12]

Thanks Fury, Do you have a PEWGF guide ?

[@doogman850]

Considering the inconsistency on mobes and the network lag, i would much rather stick to a simple staple combo but great combos.

[@kelnooby]

🔥🔥🔥

[@BIGBOSS9545]

I don't know if this is, or how optimal it is. But I practice this combo a lot, almost pulled it off in a match: "F*DF 2 - F*DF 2 - DF3 - DF1, DF2 - DF3, 2, 1 - to wall- dash to Heat Burst - DF 3+4, 1, 2" Normal WGFs it does 82 damage, one electric it does 85. Still experimenting with it but its so fun to do

[@Mcezz606]

[@KoufalKoufax]

how do you make those input logos at the top?

[@igorsergeev6068]

Thank you for the guide, but i think you missed to mention a microdash in the combo route EWGF x2, microdash, B22... Otherwise sometimes it misses the follow up with DF1DF2... Honestly that combo would be so perfect, because everything just feels comfortable in it, but yeah... No microdash, then it drops sometimes:(

[@user-sm7yo3rk7s]

In triple electric combo I can't connect df1,2 even after dashing in as deep as I can and doing electric. What might be wrong?

Nice combos!!! Im trying to do 3 electrics into df 1 2, i just cant get it after micro dashing. Any tips? Also cant do it after ch d1+2 😢

[@DoubleCFiend]

You have you dash after the second electric and again after the third one, being off-axis to the right might help, apparently.

[@emeraldweapon1010]

@DoubleCFiend yeah i figured it out haha, gotta be slightly to the right

[@eckysgaming]

I'm curious what happened to his old wall combo ? Did they reduce the df14 hitbox or smth ? Or did they slow it down and now it won't connect at 50%

[@finalfilms28]

df1,4 doesn't hit that low anymore unfortunately. I do kinda miss that wall combo

[@SirWinnigton]

For some reason I cannot do the combo at 0:33, I do double electrics then the forward 2 and the string followup but during the string the combo decays and ends, if I only do 1 electric it works I dont really know what I'm doing wrong.

[@SinningOnMyMind]

Nice video! What would be the optimal route after low parry?

[@TK_TheFURY]

1:44 pay attention to alternative launchers mentioned at top. Since the combo routes are exactly the same I try to keep the video as short as possible.

df1 whiffs a lot when I do the combo at 0:24, even when I microdash inbetween. Is there any trick to making it hit consistently?

[@hanyu_dada]

fast second electric I guess, its easier on bigger characters tho

[@Adim0413]

You really have to be close with second electric to make DF1 hit, I know its very inconsistent but we have to adapt, what helped me is that, after I land the 2nd electric I do a quick microdash then do B2,2 DF 1, 2

[@c0dehunger3]

0:33 i gotta learn this combo

[@kadethatwowheels]
