T4 Kazuya Explained, Can't Move Or Punish

[@The_Isaiahnator]

This game's atmosphere was incredible. Gritty and grounded.

[@lightmagus]

As a Tekken 7 player this is extremely interesting.

[@mikeg4490]

I was a little kid when T4 came out and didn't play tekken til 7. Wow...

[@Anomaly188]

This was the one Tekken game I skipped playing. I was playing Tag 1 and later got Tekken 5. On one hand I'm kinda glad I did because T4 sounds jank as fuck (and because Jin's JF Laser Scraper made him a God,) but watching these revisited vids makes me want to pick up a copy and try it out for myself.

[@Enlightenment99]

Craptastic13 T4 is buns imo but the story mode is dope tho. They need to go back to that for T8 but I doubt it.

[@DirectorHMAN]

​@@Anomaly188well you missed out on arguably the best and most fun tekken. Trust me, I had every single tekken game. The one me and my brother always came back to was Tekken 4. The matches are so sporadic and intense. The environment makes things far more exciting

[@Autoswitched]

just to add, you forgot to mention Kazuya had a just frame hellsweep which was essentially his normal double low sweep but you get to combo off it. Was in tag 1 too :) Rip just frame hs

[@LINKchris87]

The music at Honmaru is so atmospheric. Love that theme.

[@Abhishek-pb6rv]

I keep liking Tekken 4 more and more as time has passed..

It was evolving the series. 5, 6 and 7 is devolving into a juggling match

Now I wanna see all these types videos for T5 and T6, this is very entertaining and interesting to see the development of the Tekken series.

[@abirneji]

4 was much more of an oddball, that's why these are so interesting

[@DirectorHMAN]

5, 6 and 7 are basically the same game but with each new installment you spend more time in the air and less time actually fighting.

[@The_Humble_Hurricane]

Been playing since Tekken 1 homie, I know the struggles and improvements from start to current. The counter hit "must" to launch goes for most of the cast in comparison to Tekken 5 onward. They tried something new and bold with this game, the walls, wall tech rolls, side walking, breakable objects, etc still finding their footing, Tekken had it's biggest turning point in this game in particular. Some for better, some for worse.

[@tippingguy8514]

true even most generic df2s were only CH launchers unless you happened to be Paul, Nina, Law and i cant remember the rest

[@The_Humble_Hurricane]

@@tippingguy8514 yes indeed. The struggle

[@JAGtheTrekkieGEMINI1701]

Kazuya was SH*T in Tekken 4 but I STILL switched from Jin to Him cause he is the O.G. Main Mishima Hero gone MAD

[@joegillian314]

He was at least mid tier. Fortunately my man Heihachi was still pretty good.

[@JAGtheTrekkieGEMINI1701]

Being mid-tier is indeed pretty sh*tty for a mishima stile character tbh

[@joegillian314]

@@JAGtheTrekkieGEMINI1701 True. Mishimas are supposed to be strong. What I like about Mishimas is wave dashing. I have a really irrational hatred of Jin though. Maybe because he's a goodie goodie and quite frankly lame compared to Kazuya or Heihachi.

[@JAGtheTrekkieGEMINI1701]

That Kazuya 2P outfit is one of the best. Tekken 4 had some of the best outfits in the series as a whole and that one was near the top.

[@Needformadness2]

122 dmg from his combo with highest damage and no walls actually

[@davidparry5310]

The difference being that a 100 damage combo was very much the exception in T4, not the rule. Also, I believe the health meter was 160 hp, not 150 hp.

[@christian1329]

Insta death combos are a thing since Tekken 1, lol

[@free_playstation_2]

Tekken 4 was broken competitively lmao Tekken 7's juggling system is a mess and complaints are justified, but the older Tekken games are more broken in different ways.

[@CErra310]

@@free_playstation_2 Honestly the juggling system is the best thing to ever happen to Tekken. Hear me out first. In old Tekken games the damage all characters could do with their juggles varied wildly because of how their moves worked, and a game is obviously less healthy when some characters get three times the damage of others out of a launcher. When they introduced the System in Tekken 6 and turned certain moves into dedicated launchers, fillers, bounces and enders (by tuning how much startup they have and how close to the ground they can hit someone) they were able to tune the damage of these attacks to their intended purpose, and that's how, with further refinement in Tekken 7, almost every character had a BnB combo that revolved around 60 damage. Now in Season 3, the damage of these juggles has been tuned way too high due to the season-induced powercreep, but in Season 1 I feel like they had an amazing thing going for themselves with the normalization of launcher potential, and I hope they recapture this in Tekken 8, or T7 Season 4

[@justinhaddock6636]

Hi main man! I've been a huge fan for a long time. I am always impressed by your execution and think it could be a really fun idea if you did a video (series maybe?) Where you go through other fighting games and try to do the hardest combos in those games.

[@suiken3149]

df4+4 is pretty effective, especially when people overdo wavedashing forward. Pretty safe if you only press 4 once and it will force your opponent to reset

My favourite Tekken game ever! I find it easy to crouch dash with Kazuya but ok the electric not launching is kinda messed up 😅

[@RisingJericho]

Man, this is so wild... This is likely the closest Kazuya has ever come to being a pressure character. That's insane.

[@OldBloodRKR626]

Looking at this, I'm seriously wondering how the hell I even played Tekken 4 back in the day. Damn.

[@jaymiddleton1782]

Simply-Abstract because you played it like Tekken 4, not Tekken 7. It was good, it was what it was. The stages were amazing - some of them were strange shapes. Remember the shopping mall? It had stairs! I kind of wish they could bring stuff like that back.

[@Madheim777]

While i sucked at the time playing tekken 4, i loved the designs from kazuya. Was the first character i ever tried in Tekken and it's my main since then

[@FallenAngel2k02]

[@BaneClandestine]

Tekken needs to be brave and return to this method. Only launching on counter hit, and turning into a poke heavy game, but with slightly better movement speed.

[@crack4184]

No, we don't. Jab jab>sidestep became old really quick

[@DirectorHMAN]

​@@crack4184you know what became really old? Spending half the match with your character in the air or your opponent in the air. It's not fighting.

[@chakrashadow3220]

@DirectorHMAN If you or your opponent are spending that much of a match launched, you or your opponent are really bad

[@frankiex99_2ndchannel]

This is the weirdest Tekken game ever, weirdly enough one of my first lol

[@mkt-7]

I remember that that's the reason why I didn't play T4 that much. Jin had a different moveset and electrics didn't launch

[@chakrashadow3220]

So what I'm seeing is that the main point is the exact same as Tekken 8, but Tekken 8 actually has movement and lots more complexity. Yet this is somehow better. I'm so sure the only thing that makes folks love this so much is nostalgia, aesthetics and how much simpler it was.

[@moha9515]

You can also do the f1+2 after ws2, and finish with 2 electric behind

[@YL3nt]

That's his mist step. Look at the command list

[@anibalmattiwos7613]

Because back in tekken 1 and 2 sidesteps didn't exist, so kazuya had mist step and was technically the first chatacter to "sidestep" in the game, so the move existed for kazuya to sidestep. Now its only funtion is to be a shortcut for electrics and a tool for pewgf.

Hey TMM, adding onto your point about KBD in T4 being sluggish -- a while back I found that the ability to chain backdashes together is disabled entirely whenever you are beyond range 3! kzbin.info/www/bejne/paGoi2iNepebr7M

[@NicoMambino]

Electric not being used as a whiff punish, but as an aggressive high tool to fish for a CH only launch is so odd. So in this game twin pistons and df 1 f2 were useless. Instead you might as well just try to be aggressive with df 2 up close (safe ob clean range) for a ch launch. And db 4 on hit (safe on block) was a great frame trap to lead into df 2 (& is safe on clean range). Plus Tekken 4 bad movement. It’s so close on who was worse, T4 Kazuya or T6 console version Kazuya.. ~ I might go with T4 being worse. T4 Kazuya sounded terrible to play and boring af to play. But so was T6, so it’s close for me.

[@ggmr399]

It's funny how this was the only tekken game with most broken combo system

Honestly, I'm so sick of Tekken's dependence on launchers and juggles. It feels so boring to play. I don't even enjoy doing them. Where as when I played Tekken 4 not one moment of the fight was boring. It's far more sporadic and exciting to play.
