The most patient and least over aggressive kazuya I've seen in a long time

[@Smileater]

I agree.

[@genesishandboards]

They way he was ment to be played!

[@dexybanez2518]

Remember that Kazuya uses the defensive form of the Mishima-Style Karate, so he was meant to be played by utilizing counter attacks to punish players with it

[@Denco12]

Watch Knee lol

[@Bajancheese90]

Because of the matchup With all the crush moves Asuka has mid/High crushes . He was baiting a reaction with his approach

[@victoralvarez9459]

Damn that dudes movement was insane. Some. Of the best I've ever seen.

[@Smileater]

I agree, his timing and spacing is sick good

[@shaunthesheep24]

Been getting a lot of Kazuya content after he was revealed to be the next Smash character.

[@9773an]

Imo its best this way. Sakurai said it himself smash is like advertising.

[@gulraizz9982]

Same lol

[@bluscout6440]

Lmaoo same

[@MosesX-Labs]

Yeah same, but it’s mostly because I’ve been watching Tekken videos recently

[@ShoXwavee]

Smash purpose is to advertise better games

[@Cherry91]

He didn't hit the biggest combos which are generally required for Kazuya to inflict damage. But I love his simplistic and patient approach. Inspirational!💛

[@MrVince329]

Kazuya is still a powerhouse with his individual moves alone. CH df2 to PEWGF not too heavy of a requirement for effective Kazuya play. Just strong fundamentals

[@Cherry91]

Definitely. I've been experimenting his individual moves lately. He can be very effective when you know how to execute them well.

[@dale5654]

Actually Kazuya should be played defensively because he has some of the best punishes in the game. The guy in this match was able to showcase that to us and it was beautiful to watch as a Kazuya main myself

[@possibly8180]

I'd imagine it was all they could've done back in the day. I think Kazuya never had any reliable non-CD tools for pressure that didn't leave him with crap frames till he got ff2 in tag2 and ff3(?) for 7, don't quote me on that though I still suck at playing him lol.

[@undeadwolf-1178]

Sure lives up to kazuyas name “the peaceful one” really patient and not really aggressive at all

[@Giroutte]

There are really good South American players out there. It's a shame it's really hard to get out of their respective countries to play due to visa requirements and money. When I was younger there were arcades with people playing Tekken really competitively, the things over here is that we have the same culture as in Japan where we have to get good with every single coin we put into the arcade because in poorer areas you can't afford to buy a console so you make the most out of your limited time that you have. It's a great arcade culture to have in a kind of middle of nowhere world.

[@esTRonger6]

Thats totally true. Im 22 and i live in spain and grow up in bolivia til 10 or 11 yo, watching a lot of arcades since tekken 3 to tekken 5 and playing them with my mom. Due to tradition as a child, i still playing tekken nowadays

[@jaylin1078]

Those who played TT1 or up to this time has a different approach to the game compared to those who started after the version. The mishima during those times are the main characters and requires dash cancel movements with lightning upper cuts and forward kick or 4 as the usual punish together with devil or heihachi. So good to see what a retro player can do great competition among top tekken 7 rank matches like this...

Not surprised. Tag1 emphasizes movement far more than Tekken 7 does which is more about pushing buttons.

[@darkboy284]

Try telling that to jdcr

[@grantgarbour]

His doing well conflicts with your argument. If he got his movement from tag1 and used it to excel in t7 then movement is important in t7

[@jinogre4254]

You didn’t understand what I said. I can’t help you there but I will try. One game (tag1) emphasizes movement. Imagine in Tekken 7 if every character had a ss like lili and a backdash like eddy. That’s how most characters movement is in Tag1. Tekken 7 has far more restricted movement (smaller backlashes and sidesteps compared to Tag1) of course walls also. Tekken 7 has crush system so you can push buttons in situations that in Tag1 would get you killed you also have armor moves and more gimmicks. This Tag1 player has good fundamentals bc that’s all that game is Tekken 7 has so many shiny toys so most of the player base doesn’t learn the fundamentals like Tag1 players had to.

@@alvaroaguirre8671 The buttons you press depend on the move that was parried. If the move was a left punch (1/Square/X) or a left kick (3/X/A), you press forward and 1+3. If the move was a right punch (2/Triangle/Y) or a right kick (4/Circle/B), you would press forward and 2+4. You would press this quickly after the parry animation starts.
