Alright, fellow Tekken aficionados, buckle up as we dive into the world of Kazuya Mishima, now the big boss in Tekken 8 since Heihachi’s taken a back seat. Trust me, Kazuya’s bringing a fighting style that’s a sweet blend of defense and powerhouse moves. He might not be the flashiest speedster like Law, but for patient players with a knack for defense, he’s a combo-slinging force to be reckoned with.
Combos For Kazuya In Tekken 8
Now, when it comes to mastering Tekken, the pros always advise sticking to a handful of combos until they’re etched into your muscle memory. And for Kazuya, it’s not about quick jabs but breaking through defenses like a wrecking ball.
Agony Spear
Let’s kick off with Agony Spear, a combo that starts with a swift front kick, a left punch, and a knee to the body. It’s a solid choice to interrupt those kick-happy opponents and snatch a good chunk of their health.
Twin Fang Double Kick
Moving on to Twin Fang, a combo that’s all about playing mind games. Bait your opponent into blocking high with punches, hit them low with a quick kick, and finish with a powerhouse roundhouse kick. Mind games at their finest.
Kyogeki Goutsuiken
Another gem in Kazuya’s arsenal is the Kyogeki Goutsuiken. Holding diagonally toward your opponent and hitting X and O (or A and B), Kazuya unleashes a double kick followed by left and right punches.
Demon’s Wrath
Feeling a bit ruthless? Demon’s Wrath is a four-hit combo targeting the head, mid-section, and legs in a lightning-quick succession. Predicting this combo? Good luck!
Roundhouse Triple Spin Kick
For classic Kazuya vibes, we’ve got the Roundhouse Triple Spin Kick. It starts mid and sweeps low, a perfect move against those defensive warriors who love to block while standing.
Illusive Demon
Lastly, let’s talk about the Illusive Demon. A low-spin kick followed by a mid-air flying kick – it’s fast, powerful, and a true spectacle. Mastering this one requires a bit of finesse, involving a forward press, a slight pause, a quarter circle toward your opponent, and a double right kick.
Powerful Single-Hit Attacks
But wait, there’s more! Kazuya’s got some heavy-hitting solo moves that pack a punch without any combos.
Thunder God Fist
The Thunder God Fist might not be as deadly as in previous Tekken games, but it’s a sneaky feint that lures opponents into thinking Kazuya’s going low and then BAM! Hits high. In Devil form? Upgrade to the more potent Damnation attack.
Devil Fist
Transform into the Devil with Devil Fist, a quick and effective middle attack that unlocks special moves in Heat Mode/Devil form.
The Flash Tornado
Need some distance? The Flash Tornado, a spinning back kick, not only knocks opponents backward but also transforms Kazuya into his Devil form. Perfect for a little breathing space.
Lightning Screw Uppercut
Closing in with a classic, the Lightning Screw Uppercut. It still packs a punch, but beware of the wind-up. Knock your opponents down, hit the Lightning Screw Uppercut by holding down away and Square and Circle (or X and B), and watch the devastation unfold.
By weaving these moves into your Tekken 8 gameplay, you’ll get the hang of Kazuya’s rhythm and unleash your unique blend of combos. Ready to throw down in the King of Iron Fist Tournament? Let’s go!
