TEKKEN 8 - Showcase of Final Battle Kazuya

[@aligamerable]

Things I forgot: - His uf+4, 4 changes so that you can't block the 2nd hit if the first hit lands. But it's only against Mishima-style Jin (?) Playlist link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWSZYYCMoKmIqKssi=kVPSloCoQBOxa8wa Mod Link: tekkenmods.com/mod/3218/tekken-8-bosses-script-mod

Thx this is the only video i could have found about this kazuya

[@mareo187]

His pants is supposed to be Black because of the trenchcoat outfit he had, but they probably change it white to match his traditional white gi pants

[@NateDdragon]

my theory is that the power of purification made his pants and shoes white

[@ConcaveSaint]

Or he was just... wearing white pants before bursting into the scene as Kazazel

bro you acting like devil jin doesn't completely change jin's fighting gi into leather punk clothes

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

I love how he's randomly wearing white pants Mf thinks he's John Yakuza or something

[@aligamerable]

@@NiCoNiCoNiCola I like how Kazuya is wearing the traditional heroic color white while Jin is wearing black, which is traditionally associated to villainy

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

@@aligamerable ironically enough Jin was always designed to look like a guy with attitude, his early tattoo idea was a damn edgy skull And now this guy is an Angel, how far has he come

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

@@aligamerable also, that kinda reminds me of how villains in Japanese media usually have brighter colours in comparison to the main character having much more muted and darker colours. Yakuza, DMC, Street Fighter (to a certain extent), Tekken itself had this thing since Tekken 2, just look at Heihachi in his torn old gi fighting against Kazuya in a perfectly tailored purple tuxedo. The guys themselves don't even have to be related to anything Japanese, just compare Guts in his black jagged armour to Griffith who looks angelic and pure

[@foreveruseless1292]

Holy shit it's him... It's John Yakuza

[@princekanbatsu2301]

Always thought it was sad that final Kaz doesn't have a devil-less rage art or a special heat burst. Missed opportunity

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

I think it would be very cool if he just reused Ascended Heihachi's RA

[@Winchester755]

well it's not a missed opportunity since he's a NPC, if Bamco made him a playable character then it is a WASTED opportunity

[@DaviddeBergerac]

I love that Kazuya wavedashes at you in the final phases

[@anso3886]

I want someone to mod it so instead of him “let’s go” its just themainmanswe’s intro😂

[@moonmoon2479]

I love that. I do not like how it’s a power crush and he auto paires any low attack.

[@NateDdragon]

they should’ve done the heihachi thing where after we get kaz to 0 hp, there’s a rage art qte for jin. giving us the ability to rage art midfight is odd. the rage art should’ve also be cinematic because jin already used the npc one in STORM RISING

[@takezokimura2571]

In Tekken 7, it was an uphill battle for Heihachi because Kazuya kept getting more devil and OP moves. In Tekken 8 it is in general an uphill battle for Kazuya because Jin gets several moves while Kazuya is mostly unchanged and his wavedash can be countered.

[@newhybrid101]

Jin was fighting his mental struggles at the same time,he only finds his full strength again after the whole "a fight is about survival" thing. After that you can see Jin does a bit more damage and takes a bit less damage and he won like in Tekken 4 again

[@CyberdyneSystemsModel101]

Kazuya dominated the fight even if jin won. Don’t know what you guys Talk about. Kazuya is a more experienced fighter.

[@takezokimura2571]

@@CyberdyneSystemsModel101 Kazuya is the more experienced fighter, but that is not the sole factor in a fight. Also, he didn't dominate the fight. In the first round Kazuya got most of the upper hand in the cutscenes, mainly due to his mastery of the Mishima style and Jin being back to his "regular karate" style with no devil moves. In this match, Kazuya IS the better fighter for the most part, but Jin's determination to stand up allows him to overpower Kazuya and deliver his Rage art and send Kazuya to his knees for a few moments. Kazuya did dominated for the most part. In the second round when Jin switched to Mishima style Kazuya is sent to his knees again. Jin doesn't even look out of breath when he says he no longer hesistates to use the style. Jin's sudden change to the Mishima style and his proficiency with it catches Kazuya off guard. At the end of the third round Jin keeps his pace and there is some back and forth between the two, but Kazuya never "dominates". After Kazuya briefly gets an upper hand with the three punches Jin changes to Kazama style. On the fourth round because Jin is an amateur with the Kazama style (and Kazuya probably fought Jun in Tekken 2), Kazuya manages to beat him badly. It makes sense, Jin only learned the Kazama style for some time and never mastered nor used it a lot. However, the Kazama style does bring a lot of defensive tools that counter the Mishima style, which will be important later on. On the fifith round Jin starts to fight for his friends and life, using the 3 fighting stlyes (good defense, pokes, mixups and offense). Gameplay wise Kazuya starts using his wavedash but that is easily countered by several techniques at Jin's disposal (Kazama double lift kick, standing automatic parry, Kazama counter throw, regular throw). Mechanically it is a very favourable fight for Jin. In the cutscene Jin knocks Kazuya away with a Kazama punch. Kazuya retaliates with his uppercut, but Jin stands up without problems. Kazuya enters the final round enraged and at ~85% HP. But if you do the QTEs correctly, then Kazuya is actually at severe health disadvantage, because Jin gets a second *full* health bar. So if you don't use your rage art, you have far more HP and damage than Kazuya. Kazuya had the advantage in the first and fourth rounds (2 rounds) Jin had the advantage in the second, fifth and sixth rounds (3 rounds) Third round (the second Mishima style round) can be argued. But I give it to Jin because Kazuya managed to hit him once in the chest but then is countered by the power stance and the lightning screw uppercut. Kazuya lands two regular punches later but then Jin changes to Kazama style. But mostly importantly, when Jin finally made up his mind in the last 2 rounds, he had the advantage both in the in-game match and the cutscenes. So it was generally an uphill battle for Kazuya. Kazuya only managed to regain a huge upper hand against Jin and technically won when he switched to Kazama style, but we know Jin is an amateur with it. As Kazuya says "You can't beat me with half baked moves".

[@moungew]

This is hands down my favourite boss fight in any fighting game the hype the atmosphere the movements of kazuya the strategy he used all are so beautiful to my eyes

[@NateDdragon]

i wish they brought back his zankyosho (old ff2) because we can see him use it on jin when he beats him up

[@NYG5]

The white pants is probably Kaz changing from the Azazel fight, but symbolically its meant to show him being cleansed of Devil.

[@aligamerable]

I think the white exists to simply contrast Jin's black. Being cleansed of the devil didn't do anything to his personality, just laid to bed all the theories that Kazuya was evil because he was being controlled by his devil. The thing that did make a difference is Jin defeating him and breaking his convictions. Now it's upto Jun to build his new ones. Ones that don't involve brute force take over of the world.

[@CyberdyneSystemsModel101]

@@aligamerablewhere did jin actually “ defeat and Break his convictions“? The whole fight was one sided for kazuya. Kazuya mostly beat him up and jin won with his Friends trust and Hope, so cute. Jun. can’t change him, was kazuya different when he met jun? No, he still was cold blooded.

[@aligamerable]

@@CyberdyneSystemsModel101 Chapter title is "Strength and Conviction", I think I don't need to elaborate more than that. Did Jin get any outside help? Nope! Jin, who had already defeated Kazuya and Heihachi back to back in Tekken 4 defeated Kazuya again, with his own strength.

[@CyberdyneSystemsModel101]

@@aligamerable it’s funny to see your subjective feelings towards jin. You‘re indeed a jin fan, we can clearly see that in your Argumentation. How about seeing this last fight from a objective view? Jin took all beatings from his dad even got knocked out several times, then suddenly thought about his friends, trusting him who got Hope on him and then he got up and won the fight with his “friends“. Say what you want, Watch all those last fight Videos, you will find comments like jin won with plot and “friends“.

@@CyberdyneSystemsModel101 I'm one of the rarer guys who likes all 3 Mishimas (Jin, Kazuya and Heihachi). You see things differently, I see things differently and will continue to see things differently. It's always the people who like 1 Mishima but not the others who get into arguments.

[@racel657]

the reason why he only have small change compare to nerfed jin because its for the cpu to control it also its the same reason why he didnt have rage art (Edit) Also they only want to make the cpu kazuya more difficult to defeat example for the super wavedash has an automatic parry and moving fast towards you his amiboiling fist follow up from tekken 4 does an huge damage And for the nerfed jin why he has huge changes because its for the player to control it the players will complain to namco if they do simple change moveset to nerfed jin

[@nitrodragon_01]

@aligamerable What's your thoughts on Kazuya pausing before giving Jin that final punch. I think kazuya was thinking in that moment whether to kill or spare jin. I think he chooses to spare jin to prove to Jin that his ideology and way of thinking is correct and jin must live on with his failure.

[@trainerhero5978]

Stop thinking that kazuya has shown many times that he doesn care about jin jin just very durable like all the other mashima,s

[@nitrodragon_01]

@@trainerhero5978 When Jin wakes up after being punched Kazuya says "You just don't know when to quit". He wouldn't have said that if he intended to kill Jin. He would of been surprised like he was when Heihachi got up after being lasered by kazuya in tekken 7. Kazuya's response suggests that he did not want to kill Jin with that punch. But not because he cares for Jin but because I think kazuya wanted Jin to live with his failure.

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

@@nitrodragon_01 or... Kazuya himself doesn't have any personal issues with Jin And it's not like Kaz himself is a fan of murder, pretty sure the only direct kill he has is Heihachi, technically three times

[@aligamerable]

If he ever lands a CH d/f+2, he'll actually launch you with a PEWGF. And in some cases, even if the d/f+2 hasn't land as a CH, he'll still do the EWGF. He's programmed to do it.
