  • The second to last DLC character is here! It’s Kazuya from Tekken. With him being from a more traditional fighting game, he comes with the usual ups and downs. Though this time around they decided to give him just a little extra, and when i say that I mean a lot of extra. Join me today as we take a look at the many hitboxes Kazuya has!

    I'm not surprised Kazuya has the strongest reflector cuz it's the hardest to use. No way you're reflecting anything without a crazy hard read or it's a wicked slow projectile. You have to do the whole input after reacting to a projectile, no way.

      It's a killer Byleth check in they're spamming their bow. Since the arrows have only two charge lengths they are stupid easy to read. And since the attack is practically a one-frame hitbox it's literally impossible for Byleth to do anything about it.
      Another good use is against Snake and his remote missiles, although I guess that would fall under the category of 'wicked slow'

    This is kind of what I've been saying for Kazuya: it's not the damage or the combos or the tough guy that makes him busted; no, it's the sheer amount of moves with invulnerability.
    It makes moves that would normally be pretty unsafe to just throw out extremely disjointed.

    A couple other things cause this character just has soooo much to him:
    - Kazuya's standing down tilt is able to be canceled with shield during startup.
    - Crouch dash is able to turn into a "crouch walk" by running and immediately hitting down on the c-stick with tilt stick on.
    - If you use electric wind god fist on someone's shield, they are forcibly pushed out of it, I think this isn't found anywhere else in the game

    @nicocchi 2 ปีที่แล้ว +55

    The one day I decided to check Ultimate's frame data website because this video didn't exist yet, and it releases a couple hours later.
    By the way, I decided to check because of Kazuya's forward tilt being apparently ridiculously fast in comparison to Ganondorf's, and still so strong. In the end, it's not, hitboxes come out 2 frames slower.
    However, the animation is very different: Ganondorf has his leg up by frame 2 (hitboxes come out frame 10) while Kazuya winds up his attack almost entirely without lifting his leg: he only lifts it on frame 11, one frame before the hitboxes come out.
    This is what makes it FEEL ridiculously fast, despite being actually slower.
    Both moves are too fast for human reaction time, but Kazuya's animated in a way that makes it a lot more stealthy and deadly if you wanted to have any hope of reacting to it.
    By the way, Ganondorf's is stronger. On Training mode, from the spawn, Mario crosses the battlefield/fd lines at around 130%, while for Kazuya is at 145%
    But then again, Ganondorf's jab doesn't deal like 50% damage so yeet

    I’ve found previously that using down air while falling through a platform can allow you to spike opponents beneath you and land on the platform somewhat easily. It’s nowhere near as good as the spike on nair but if you miss the timing it’s a somewhat safe option if your opponent is below you.

    18:08 if the white hitbox is the sour one and you only get it at the very tip of the move's distance, the game isn't punishing you for "perfect spacing", it's punishing you for poorly spacing the move. Not everyone is Marth, achieving the legendary concept of [perfect spacing] by hitting the extreme ends of their hitboxes.

    A few things you missed:
    -If Electric Wind God Fist (EWGF) hits a shield, it pushes the opponent out of their shield, however it wont deal any damage. It can still break shields though. I think this is the only move in the game that does this?
    -Down tilt has a lot of hitstun growth but barely any knockback growth, meaning you can follow up with more moves as your opponent's damage builds up. Pretty unique mechanic as well.

    • @lillooseleaf9292
      @lillooseleaf9292 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Reason it gets them out of their shields is because in tekken you are +5 frames on block meaning you just broke their defense and you can create a mix-up vortex on your enemy. Great attention to detail.
