Home > New Smash DLC Character Kazuya Revealed
Kazuya, the fighter for Smash Bros. Ultimate who was recently revealed, received more details into his move set during a presentation by the director of Smash Bros. Ultimate, Masahiro Sakurai. This crossover character from Tekken was given the full rundown by Sakurai, as well as a release date.
Kazuya receives many of his special moves from the source material: Tekken. Although, many of his normal moves are adapted and sped up to suit the fast-paced nature of Smash Bros. His recovery in particular appears to have a sweet spot that deals a flashy killing blow to unaware opponents.
His side special also has a hit-box that can knock opponents down and lead to follow-ups. His down special, complete with super armor, allows Kazuya players to grab their opponents from close range without fear of reprisal. Finally, his neutral special is a long-range beam attack that can be angled and goes through multiple opponents. His kit is complemented by an in-depth combo system based on the source material.
Kazuya, as well as new Mii fighter costumes, a new stage, and a new spirit board, will all be released on June 29th. The Kazuya Challenger Pack will be released separately for $5.99 USD, but will also be available in Fighters Pack 2 for those who have purchased that beforehand.
The final DLC character (#11) in Fighters Pack 2 has been confirmed to be the final one as well, and is set to be revealed and available by the end of this year.
