I like how kazuya’s limbs and sometimes his entire body just twist all over the place in most of his moves

[@boxbox0000]

most of kazuya's moves all came from the first tekken, all the models had little polygons so that meant proportions weren't really a concern, of course that didn't helped them when they were trying to make those moves work with the more advanced 3d models.

[@DrBodyshot]

@@boxbox0000 It's actually because the animations aren't meant to be seen in slow motion. In the same way that smear frames helps 2d animation *FEEL* quicker and more snappy when they're applied, Tekken characters have a lot of moves that break their models to achieve a similar affect. Even the newer characters do that sometimes

I'm not surprised Kazuya has the strongest reflector cuz it's the hardest to use. No way you're reflecting anything without a crazy hard read or it's a wicked slow projectile. You have to do the whole input after reacting to a projectile, no way.

[@ihopeyouandicanbefriends]

on top of that you're doing a double tap forward input *towards* the projectile coming at you, literally giving yourself less time to get the move out depending on how fast your thumb is

[@ken7007]

I don't see it

[@sir.hopper]

It's a killer Byleth check in they're spamming their bow. Since the arrows have only two charge lengths they are stupid easy to read. And since the attack is practically a one-frame hitbox it's literally impossible for Byleth to do anything about it. Another good use is against Snake and his remote missiles, although I guess that would fall under the category of 'wicked slow'

[@simeonellinger2064]

Yup. Half the time you'll be dashing into projectiles instead, especially at close range.

[@senounatsuru6453]

Or if you kick sephiroth's scintilla/peach's toad. It just friggin murders them.

With his down tilt(not crouch jab) you can actually cancel the move with shield button from coming out and hitting so you can abuse the invincibility and forward twirl and grab or just do another move.

[@shaghilathar3588]

Yep, proves that if Ganon was actually good people would have complained anyway

[@MildlyOCD]

This is kind of what I've been saying for Kazuya: it's not the damage or the combos or the tough guy that makes him busted; no, it's the sheer amount of moves with invulnerability. It makes moves that would normally be pretty unsafe to just throw out extremely disjointed.

[@genzo454]

*intangibility, not invulnerability

[@TheLobsterCopter5000]

The ignore ground shield thing isn't actually redundant. Shields can still be hit by air only attacks, so this flag makes sure grounded opponents won't be hit a frame early if they're holding up their shield.

[@enething.official]

Getting ready to see a lot of blue hurtboxes

[@nicocchi]

The one day I decided to check Ultimate's frame data website because this video didn't exist yet, and it releases a couple hours later. By the way, I decided to check because of Kazuya's forward tilt being apparently ridiculously fast in comparison to Ganondorf's, and still so strong. In the end, it's not, hitboxes come out 2 frames slower. However, the animation is very different: Ganondorf has his leg up by frame 2 (hitboxes come out frame 10) while Kazuya winds up his attack almost entirely without lifting his leg: he only lifts it on frame 11, one frame before the hitboxes come out. This is what makes it FEEL ridiculously fast, despite being actually slower. Both moves are too fast for human reaction time, but Kazuya's animated in a way that makes it a lot more stealthy and deadly if you wanted to have any hope of reacting to it. By the way, Ganondorf's is stronger. On Training mode, from the spawn, Mario crosses the battlefield/fd lines at around 130%, while for Kazuya is at 145% But then again, Ganondorf's jab doesn't deal like 50% damage so yeet

[@markercrayon457]

Kazuya jab does a consistent 18% because anyone with fingers will be able to escape 10 hit combo (just like in tekken) so they do a simmilar amount of damage with jab (Gannon does 15ish)

[@nicocchi]

@@markercrayon457 yeah full combo tends to whiff a lot, in practice you won't really pull off the thing, but, I mean, you encounter very special and unique players online. The Smash 4 Little Macs haven't gone away, just taken on a different form.

[@cerdi_99]

for the strenght comparison keep in mind the angles, i think kazuya's sends the opponent at an even lower angle than ganon's

[@mithreal1291]

A couple other things cause this character just has soooo much to him: - Kazuya's standing down tilt is able to be canceled with shield during startup. - Crouch dash is able to turn into a "crouch walk" by running and immediately hitting down on the c-stick with tilt stick on. - If you use electric wind god fist on someone's shield, they are forcibly pushed out of it, I think this isn't found anywhere else in the game

[@Pbergloff]

What do you mean by forcibly pushed out? It goes though shield?

[@kombattortoise103]

Electric wind god fist will apply horizontal knock-back to shielding opponents. Kind of like a wind box. I don’t know if the shield is forced to drop but electric wind god fist is guaranteed safe on shield.

[@eukarya_]

Doesn't heavy Ryu's f-tilt do something similar to shields?

Ryu, Ken, and Kazuya. All three of these characters have a move that is a karate chop and all three of these characters can break Shields with their karate chop. For Ryu and Ken it is their down throw but for kazuya it is his down smash because kazuya needs to be better than everyone

[@averagegh0st555]

I’ve found previously that using down air while falling through a platform can allow you to spike opponents beneath you and land on the platform somewhat easily. It’s nowhere near as good as the spike on nair but if you miss the timing it’s a somewhat safe option if your opponent is below you.

[@SerenadeURA]

18:08 if the white hitbox is the sour one and you only get it at the very tip of the move's distance, the game isn't punishing you for "perfect spacing", it's punishing you for poorly spacing the move. Not everyone is Marth, achieving the legendary concept of [perfect spacing] by hitting the extreme ends of their hitboxes.

[@HowdyItsMarc]

1:53 this may be a balance attempt but I think this might just be a Tekken thing because in tekken jumps take forever compared to other games

[@debornmc]

A few things you missed: -If Electric Wind God Fist (EWGF) hits a shield, it pushes the opponent out of their shield, however it wont deal any damage. It can still break shields though. I think this is the only move in the game that does this? -Down tilt has a lot of hitstun growth but barely any knockback growth, meaning you can follow up with more moves as your opponent's damage builds up. Pretty unique mechanic as well.

[@lillooseleaf9292]

Reason it gets them out of their shields is because in tekken you are +5 frames on block meaning you just broke their defense and you can create a mix-up vortex on your enemy. Great attention to detail.

[@albinandersson1371]

Doesn't it just feel like they did their very best to make a new definitive best character in the game? (like Meta Knight and Bayonetta). Only time will tell how good he is in practice.

Time has told lmao

The one video I was looking forward to and it did not disappoint.

[@Rat_the_Renegade]

Now I'm curious. Of his down forward tilt has hotboxes that ignore shield but only on aerial opponents could he hit Pit and Dark Pit out of their down B if they use it in the air? Since it does act like a shield against melee attacks. Also fun fact. Kazuya's sweet spot forward smash is the strongest forward smash in the game barely beating out Ganondorf's.

Kazuya's spine does not look like it's having a good time

Can't wait for the hour long Kirby Hitbox showcase after the final dlc character is out

[@KJ-Kong]

This character is stupid broken… I love him 😍

Try tekken, you'll have fun with 0 to death combos

[@bigdog421]

Its hilarious whenever i get one or my friends get the combo on me

[@AshenDust_]

That doesn’t sound fun. Whoever gets hit first loses

[@starter497]

@@AshenDust_ death combos are not common. Outside of Akuma and other 2D characters, you wont see a 0-death in a match. Also in tekken though combos are true, in general at a top level you wont be landing combo starters often.

[@AshenDust_]

@@starter497 is Akuma banned or something? Why doesn’t everyone play him if he can consistently get 0-Deaths.

[@stoopid9853]

@@AshenDust_ thing is, he can't, he has really specific setups and requirements in order to do it and even then the execution is very hard, even for pro players.

[@kiraangle2823]

The intangibility seems to be in large part based on his low and high crush properties in the offending moves, with exceptions

[@penguinmcswaggn2936]

Ike hitboxes analysis your time will soon come. And I will be here waiting

[@carlosvergara4132]

Would you make a video on some moves instead of complete characters? Some moves I would love to understand what the hell is going on are Samus' upSmash, Link's Nair, ZSS' flip kick and some other oddities.

[@striketh2000]

Nintendo: So, how many moves would you like this new smash character to have? Sakurai: Yes
