Street Fighter X Tekken/Kazuya

Kazuya

Ideal Team Position: Either

As a child, Kazuya was thrown off a cliff by his father Heihachi, due to him being a "weakling". Kazuya managed to climb back up after gaining the power of the Devil. He became a vicious and evil man from then on, hating his father for what he did. Kazuya had a son named Jin Kazama, who hates him as much as Kazuya hates his father. Kazuya has mastered the power of his Devil transformation and has become one of the most powerful characters in the Tekken series.

Kazuya is a fearsome close range character. He lacks a projectile but can easily avoid projectiles and get in close with his Mist Step; and he can hold his own in neutral with good pokes such as his cr.MK and st.HP. Due to his very damaging combos, strong pressure, good pokes that can convert into combos, and several mix up options, Kazuya is a very reliable character.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Extremely high damage output even without meter and has multiple ways to get that damage. EWGF is a meterless launcher that is safe on block and has upper body and throw invulnerability. Wavedash let's him easily get around fireballs, excluding the low fireballs of Sagat and Juri. Several safe tag options to get partner in. Solid normals to play footsies with. Multiple mix up options to keep the opponent guessing.

High execution requirement in order to get the most out of the character. Characters with strong fast low attacks can limit some of Kazuya's options. Reversal options either lose to lows, or cost meter and the invulnerability does not cover the startup.
