TEKKEN 8 Kazuya | Weapons | TEKKEN 8 Kazuya Beginner Guide and Combos

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Greetings all! Thank you very much for your support. Unfortunately at 39:31 of the combo section, there is a typo. It's supposed to be Down-Forward 1, 4. Sorry about that! Happy combos.

[@cairax23]

I’ll literally just main every character you make a beginner guide for. The intros you make hype up the character big time. Kazuya is THE Tekken? You know what? Yeah he is. I’ve always wanted to play Kazuya but always held off because people keep telling me he’s real damn hard, but this guide really gives a clear view of the general game plan.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

It is so cool when people get the video! Like the whole thing. The presentation, the research I put in to formulate and find the character's playstyle. Super cool to see the vid was received as intended! And thanks for checking out the video.

[@fawtyseven5516]

You probably love him by now. He’s a powerhouse. And can end matches pretty damn fast

[@y0urmak3r]

This mf asking for members. You gotta get subscribers first homie wtf

[@Horrormovie_NZ]

This video is now my Kazuya bible. Wonderful content, thanks so much for all your efforts!

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you so very much for your contribution, and also for your words! I really appreciate it.

[@subaruej22d84]

As a Kazuya player since T1, this is easily the best video on modern Kazuya explained. It will now be a religion.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Haha. Thanks man. Glad the research I put in shows!

[@ScrubSuiNoHado]

Man finally a Kazuya guide that teaches more than wavedash mixups and electrics. So many good stuff that lets's me jump right into it, while i'm practicing my electrics and wavedash. Thank you so much. Instant sub, can't wait for more guides from you!

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Super cool man! That's so great you liked the content, I appreciate the sub! More to come.

[@itach1freak]

This is literally the greatest kazuya guide on KZbin. Tekken 8 is my first fg and I decided I just can’t help but maining kazuya. I spent time in the lab to learn how to mishima (wave dash, electric, step electric, etc) but now I feel stuck on how to play Tekken. With kazuya, I feel like there are only 3-4 strings I can use and if I am fighting a skilled opponent, I just get blown up on block. You breaking down his key strings and moves, conditions to apply them, and mixups of completing flash punch or not just made a lot of things click for me. Thank you so much.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Absolutely awesome man! It took me some time playing him in T7 to figure out besides hellsweeps and electrics what the hell should he be doing! Haha, so I'm glad it helped. Thank you very much for checking out the channel.

[@CalebAdams]

I can confidently say you have THE best character guide format out there. Truly phenomenal stuff. One of the best tekken teachers and content creators out here!

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you very much. I'm glad the time and effort shows and people like you can see it. That's just awesome.

[@Greygamerfox]

I have been struggling to learn anything with Kazuya, your video is the ONLY one I have found that actually helps you learn the basics and strategy. Thank you so much for this video!

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

It is always super dope when the guide is as helpful as it was intended to be. Thank you very much for checking out the channel.

[@Greygamerfox]

I'd like to follow up this comment. I have never made it to red ranks. Until this video. I am now Shinryu and past the halfway mark to purple rank. I really want to learn Reina, if you ever make a guide, I'll be the first one there to watch.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

@@Greygamerfox Man I'm glad you're seeing progress. Excellent work. I don't play Reina, but if I decide to take her up. Watch out for a flashy thumbnail. Haha.

[@Eaaex]

I gotta also add to the praise comments. I just picked up tekken a few days ago. Never played before in my life saw kazuya and immediately wanted to play him. Only to find that 90% of KZbin guides say “beginner” on them then talk about needing to do frame perfect electrics and wavedash. Thanks so much for your time and effort put into this video. Truly a beginner guide and the best one out at that

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

When I was a beginner, I noticed the same things you have, so it's always the best compliment to know the guide helps as intended. Thanks for checking it out.

[@7GamesUnlimited7]

Bro these guides are the greatest. They remind me of the old main man guides anout the mishimas but you do it for everyone. Respect. Subscribed instantly

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you for the sub! Awesome the glad is helpful, and I was able to make the video I intended to. Thanks so much.

[@7GamesUnlimited7]

​@@NewWaveTEKKENI just found your channel but I'm planning to pay for a sub here or on patreon. It's rare to see this high quality tekken videos. If you keep it up you'll be very successful I'm sure. Anyway thank you for the reply haha

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

@@7GamesUnlimited7 Thank you for your words. I appreciate your support. More vidz coming soon.

[@TheRustaclut0]

I've watched a ton of guides... i have to say this is PERFECT for people who want to learn Kazuya and shows tips for both beginner and experienced players.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you. Thanks for watching.

[@WorkedSix28zerozero1]

I used this guide for one day. ONE and it's leveled up my Kazuya game LEAPS AND BOUNDS and has showed me that Mr. TEKKEN is the real fucking deal

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Awesome! Super glad it was helpful. He is Mr. TEKKEN

[@nocapillary]

Please make more guides! So high quality and really teaches you the basics of each character. Learning kazuya never felt so easy

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you very much! Awesome that the guide helped. More on the way.

[@doctorreed_]

watching this video and seeing its quality i expected a six-figure sub count. honestly in disbelief that you dont have more with the level of effort and excellence you so clearly put into your videos. been a kazuya player since the first game and your breakdowns and video style made him feel brand new in an awesome way

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

The KZbin algorithm doesn't play nice for some reason, but step by step I get a little closer to where I'm going. It's super cool you've been playing Kazuya for that long and can still find something new about the character. Thank you for your words and checking out the video.

[@0xmitsui]

You deserve more recognition in tekken community I hope you continue putting in the work

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thanks. And I will. Appreciate the support.

[@smurfdaddy420]

Man im new to tekken and this guide has got to be one of the best guides I've seen in general. Like holy shit this opened up my eyes to so many things. Amazing work man.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Super dope! Glad the guide was helpful. Thank you very much.

[@Latino_mamba03]

Ngl I watched half this video before work and remembered a lot of pointers. Got on the game after and was playing better than I ever did before. Came back to finish this lol. You’re the goat bro.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Haha! A man, glad the video helped you with your game. Thanks for giving it a shot.

[@jacksonfries6823]

This has to be the most informative and easy to understand guides in any fighting game ive found, Thank you.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Appreciate you giving it a chance. Glad it's been useful.

[@strayvids]

Hell yeah, THIS is the kind of video I have been searching for! Your presentation of the main man is great. The character is kind of daunting to try for a new player like myself, but you have hyped me up and I'm going to give him a solid try. Thanks dude!

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Glad you found it! Thanks for the kind words. Once you start to understand Kaz, he is a blast to play. Enjoy your power!

[@Suikojowy]

Great work and great presentation. Best Kazuya guide I've seen yet. Actual details and gameplans besides just "here are the moves and here are some combos"

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you very much! Really trying to help players get started on the right foot!

[@darrylkirkland6144]

Kazuya my main on 8, ive wanted to master him since Tekken 2 but everyone said he was the hardest to learn so i never played with him till now. He's my favorite, and this guide is phenomenal 🤜🏾💯🤛🏾 for learning the basics and how to use him. This is my beginner Bible. Thanks for your hard work putting this together. Will sub and become a supporter, we need teachers like you to thrive.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

I always heard the same thing, and found Kazuya so tough to pilot in T7. But after awhile it clicked, I understood, and to deliver that to others is a dope ass feeling. Thank you so much for watching and your support.🙏

[@Wett110]

started playing Kazuya recently after being in character crisis from all of Tekken 7 to Tekken 8 and thank you so much for the wonderful guide! It's always so hard knowing which moves are important for neutral or not. Hoping to see more Kazuya stuff from you!

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Appreciate you giving the video a chance, there's so much depth to every character, but I'll be covering more of Kaz in the future for sure. Love to play the character.

[@GiovanniVittorioValdes]

This is the best kazuya tutorial I’ve ever seem

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thanks man!

[@ThatGuyZay35]

Love the video man just starting playing Kazuya and now i got a lot of weapons to remember and lab.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Awesome man! Thanks for checking it out

[@jameji_phd]

This is pretty great, I've been playing Kaz for a few weeks and I never even thought about using the third hit of Flash Punch and Nejiri as a beginner-friendly mixup before. I'll have to try it out!

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thanks for checking out the vid! Glad it was helpful.

[@pinguferrari]

Extremely well balanced character introduction without being too in depth. Would love to see more.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you. More on the way! Thanks for checking out the channel.

[@isaacmendez1529]

Nah that intro went so crazy😭🔥😭🔥🔥😭

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

I know right! Kaz is just such a great character. Had to do him justice.

[@hilohade2167]

Litteraly best kazuya guide , i have a playlist whit videos and guide to get better at the game and this is just complete and perfection , great job.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you very much for the compliment. Help the guide is helpful.

Best Kazuya Guide out there, im gonna recommend this to my friends

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you, and awesome man! I appreciate that.

[@jamesfoong9252]

So glad i found this video and i concur with everyone else, this is THE kazuya guide!

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

I worked so hard it. That's such a great compliment. Thanks so much.

[@Gonzo3474]

for so long I've been wanting to learn Kazuya since he's the rawest character in the series lol. I found confusing and hard to learn. thankfully I got recommended this randomly by YT and it was like opening pandora's box. Kazuya is my main now thanks you bro. awesome guide 💯💯💯💯

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

That's so awesome! He is really fun to play once you understand him. And you still earn your wins with him just like in T7. Enjoy your power. Haha

[@LuckyRaphi]

I didnt watch all yet, but this is the best tutorial for tekken ive ever seen

Thank you very much. I'm striving to be the best out here!

[@kuma-wamu]

It’s a great guide. You break things down really well

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you. Thanks for watching.

[@Blobertbigly]

Subbed, hope you continue to make breakdowns like this and keep covering the roster

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you. I will continue to go through more characters. It takes time because Tekken can be so intricate but yes, more is coming. Thanks for your support.

[@muhammadtuaha6581]

Man your guides are amazing. I literally started maining lars after your guide

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you, thank you. Kazuya can be a lot of fun, once you get the hang of this gameplan.

[@RJG1117]

This is the GOAT in terms of character guides! Bro please do JIN, DVJ, Reina, and Asuka

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Thank you! Jin is on the list, I may take on Reina as well, however these guides take time to produce. Research, I really make sure I understand the character through and through. So it'll be a minute until these guides drop. Thank you for checking out the channel.

[@Toji-KO]

@@NewWaveTEKKEN no problem!

[@Bonbadzz]

This guide is really helpful, i main kazuya for a long time now and sometimes i lost a lot because of my lack of skills hehe... But after i watched this guide i somehow learned some mindset moves and it helps me a lot. Thank you for making this guide it's a big help for me❤❤❤❤

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Super awesome that the guide helped! Thanks for watching.

[@SDCCooper]

Kazuya main stuck in habits learnt in T2 here. Five minutes in and it's already very useful. Talking about things in a way I can digest. Looking forward to taking in the rest. Recently learnt that ff4 is really solid kick as I wean myself off u/f4444...

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Awesome man! Glad the guide is helpful! And FF4 replacing UF4444 is definitely the way to go.

[@BenCooper11]

Any chance of a Hwoarang video???

@@BenCooper11 Sorry but I don't play him, so it would be irresponsible for me to speak on the character like that.

[@rajonali7581]

Very helpful, will smash this in practice 💪🏽

[@hannibalchiu1040]

I really appreciate this vid!! Been stuck at garyu/elim with kaz and felt the need to learn more fundamentals.

[@kittatro]

Thank you so much for this guide! I managed to get to warrior using only the combos from combo challenges but then I started to feel limited against my opponents doing crazy damage against the wall. This guide is exactly what I needed! I had played Kazuya for about 20h but I still saw some moves for the first time in this video lol Also there's a small mistake at 39:31, it shows 2 instead of 1. Not a big deal at all but it had me confused for half a second

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Sorry about that miss input. But I'm super glad the guide was helpful for you! He's fun to play, but not easy to play.

[@DonatelloNHB]

Ima watch this later, but ima go ahead and leave a like and comment to get ya engagement up.

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

I Appreciate the hell out of that! Every bit helps!

[@velocite9167]

Amazing guide! unfortunately df1,4 no longer ballerina spins, but now it knocks down into a guaranteed follow up, making it an amazing standing 15f punish compared to what was available to kaz before. again, amazing guide, keep it up!!

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Yeah when they change stuff like that there's little that can be done, however, I'm not done talking about Kaz just yet. More guides to come, thank you so much for checking out the vid!

[@iamphilzen]

this is dope brother!! earned a sub, very good video and love how you explain things,,, i just started with Kaz so this is super helpful!

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Awesome! Thanks for the sub. Kaz can be tough to pilot, but can be super fun to play, and the Kazuya player only gets stronger over time.

[@trox9082]

the only thing wrong with the video is the amount of views...how on earth does this have 500 views ONLYYY :O - Good work by NWT as usual, solid, cringe-free, technical, realistic content!

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Yeah, I was shocked by the view count too. But it's still super cool that you found the video and it was helpful, so the vid did serve it's purpose, hopeful it builds up as time goes on.

[@AvalonShire]

New sub here you're a great teacher!! Im just a casual tekken player but I decided to main Kazuya it's damn hard but it's also so much fun. Playing Kazuya is like learning a martial art for video games, difficult but rewarding .😎

I thank you so much for becoming a member! And your words of support. One million thank yous my friend. Working on the Lars vid as I write this. I'm really seeking my teeth into this to become a full time creator, giving maximum effort. The next Lars vid is about his defense against everyone's heat in the game. The Lars vid after that, will be an advanced guide on Lars offensive pressure. Lars mains STAND UP! Lol.

[@K3.create]

There's another weird combo with Kazuya: ewgf/pewgf, rising sun (first u/f+4), d/f+1 or d/f+1, d/f+3,2,1+2, and then whatever you want to do. I continue with heat activation, and then f,n,d/f+4,1, f,n,d/f+(1+2). The only problem is that restarts the combo counter, but still makes decent damage

really helpful. thank you

[@NewWaveTEKKEN]

Awesome! Thanks for watching.

[@jameji_phd]

Just a quick correction - when you discuss wavedashing, you put the input as f n df OR f n d df f. Kazuya's Mist Step (f n df) can NOT be linked as a wavedash, it's only used to access crouch dash moves faster. If you want to actually wavedash for movement, as opposed to just use a crouch dash move, it HAS to be with the full f n d df f motion. You also refer a lot to electrics as "perfect", though I think you just mean to refer to them as electrics (a better term than "perfect" here would be "just frame), since for Kazuya the "perfect electric" is the 13f EWGF that is *extremely* hard to do consistently. I know "perfect" is easier for new players to get than "just frame", but it might lead to some confusion and frustration when looking for further info since they'd likely come across some intimidating info about how hard the actual "perfect" electric is compared to the regular EWGF.

I will say to please mind the “cheap moves” triple roundhouse might work on super low ranks, but it gets countered so easily in intermediates. It’s best not to build a habit of using it. Tbh, you probably should never use it and pretend it doesn’t exist 😂

did i miss out the part where he mentions df3,2,1 and hold mind game and wall splat strat? lol 3,2,df hs/(1+2) 50-50 wasnt mentioned either 3,2,1 (ch on 1) mind game is also useful imo

[@seanbrown7083]

I mean it is a good mind game and shows you what type of opponent they are if they decide to respect it u keep up pressure, if they disrespect it then do it again but this time release it early so they get counter hit and that’s your combo
