@@agssilv5919 it's debatable if Jin is even a Mishima he's more of a hybrid leaning more towards Kazama style but playing Jin you'll definitely still need a i14 electric just not as important as say Kazuya or Dvj
@@freshamero3834 easy way to do it on pad is to input the d+df like a qcf but as soon as your thumb hits df press 2 at the same time. Another one is look at your fingers do the input until you get one then compare them each time and get a feel for it. This helps with a normal EWGF for PEWGF the input is different is like Hwoarang's sky rocket
I'm glad he has more interesting combos variations than T7, don't get me wrong, T7 did some really nice things with kaz, but T8 just seems like a more complete Kaz.
every kazuya did 3 electrics into b21 in tk7 but in this game,his combos are just so fun and creative that me and my friends all do different combos with him in the demo
I'm glad people realized he is not a dumbed down Kazuya. 1st impressions of most people incl. TMM were bad. I knew Kazuya have more things going with him despite his changes. He's just T8 kazuya not T7 kazuya.
Kazuya is so cool! I’m going into learning him after getting to Garyu rank with Devil Jin in Tekken 8, because I feel like I need to work on my mixups a lot more and work on the more complicated things, like the moves that require the Wind God Step, and since Kazuya has a LOT of moves that require Wind God Step, he’s perfect for that practice
Thanks Mainmanswe for all the content for Tekken 7 and now for Tekken 8. I learnt a lot from your guide and you made me a Kazuya main as before I was mainly playing jin but at a very casual level. I am grateful for all the videos that you’ve made and can’t wait to watch more of your new videos. Get ready for the next battle!
This guide helped me so much, tekken 8 is my first tekken and mms' energy in this video really transfered into my gameplay makes me happy just playing kazuya
The main issue with Kazuya at least for me is that no matter how good I get with him, playing is exhausting and I can keep my level to the best max 90 minues, after such time I will start dropping electrics, my wave dash gets sloppy, etc.
Thank you for the Kazuya guide Mainman! For Tekken 8 I want to learn how to play Kazuya somewhat well so this guide will be super helpfull! Might take a while but I am down to learn! It will be a fun journey!
You are a big inspiration on why I'm maining Kazuya for my 'first' tekken game. Still have a long way to go with movement/perfect electrics but i am excited to put in the work!
great video lots of information. Could you do a video on wave dash and perfect eclectic fist execution? New to tekken trying to understand the movement side of it .
in tekken 7 i was saying that "its easier said than done" with sidestepping kazuya's 50/50 moves but the sidestep in 8 is so much better from the demo that i cant really say that anymore(tho he has the demonpaw and also homing moves in general so ofc its not that simple)
Kazuya has been my favourite lore character since forever, and I’ve always wanted to use him but feels like consistently hitting electrics (or perfects for the WS2) is such a blocker. The way you explained the 50/50 and ground game was so eye opening, his 112 punish is awesome and now I see why you be defensive with Kaz and wait to punish and then switch up on the 50/50 offensive! I’ll learn wavedashing too to get better at that
This is where I'm at with it I love Kazuya the way he looks his moves damage everything I just can't do wavedash and for sure can't do electric 😂at least I know where to practice now
you're fine dude, if you got his neutral game down... Electrics is mostly used for whiff punishing which happens less and less the higher rank you get and for minmax combos. All high elo kazuyas mostly use 50/50 hellsweeps or mid crush and punish you with 1,1,2 then wave dash to you. because it's more consistent. id rather you learn to defend against every/most attacks in the game and punish sub-optimally than master kaz pewgf, seriously. lol plus it will carry you to a higher elo. He's a great character, alot of kaz mains are a bit of doomers don't feel gatekept by the dorya, the more you play the better you will get. As soon as you get perfect hellsweeps just think in your head wait if I do the same thing but hit 2 instead... that's a pewgf. food for thought. keep grinding.
@@Krugmatik "id rather you learn to defend against every/most attacks in the game" That's alot harder to do than learning wavedash mixups. That kind of knowledge comes from a lifetime of tekken experience it's not just something you can do that's also universal knowledge that will help you play any character in the game.
you dont have to electric after df2, you can do df1df2 which launches into b2,2,1+2 while you learn fundamentals over mechanics also for electrics on pad you do forward then when you tap down on the dpad slide your finger to the forward most part on the down button, don't actually slide your finger to forward and you'll get it every time and aim to hit 2 while you are pressing down so it's down 2 diagonally down forwards. Don't feel offput by "needing to electric" with kazuya, it's not that deep and you'll pick that up overtime playing him anyway, justframe hellsweeps first electrics will come naturally as you get familiar with the qc inputs and speed up.
good input but df1df2 after df2 will initiate a tornado leading to lesser damage. prob better off using 314 into df1df2 instead followed by other combo's on top like 31 fd cancel into 3
Watched your tekken 7 guide on kazuya a week ago and made it to fighter, i could have probably made it further but didnt wanna cause i have the new game now
Were there no tutorials/ guides like this in the actual game? I felt like I know more about the character and the mechanics here than I did in the replays & tips mode
I've been watchin for about 10 years, every Tekken game i've been coming here for the breakdown still getting my ass kicked, 100% skill issue, will come again
Something worth mentioning is kazuya also has a db1 13 frame mid check that has great reach. It also comes out faster than df1 and has much better range. Can hit confirm into db12 heat engager too but only do this if db1 lands cause db12 is pretty minus!
Man I'm really trying to learn this character. I'm just terrible at wavedashing and I don't want to give up lol. Thanks for the guide and I'll try not give up lol
Kazuya's devil's fist should have a punch parry. He lifts his right shoulder, covers up pre-emptive with his left hand and then also turns away. His body and legs are also too far for counter attack. I wonder if that would be unbalanced?
4:18 is there a way to cancel the automatic laser follow up? It does good damage, but prevents you from getting a wallsplat or wallbreak combo which feels very counter intuitive. Even if it is that way on purpose I still think it's weird.
Kazuya is so fun but hard. His electric takes time to get down then it takes more time to actually use it well in a game while under the pressure. It's a move I tended to throw out more just to say I did an electric which left me open when I didn't do it right or close enough. But I love how simple, cool and powerful his other moves are. Ive done combos dealing 70+ damage with just 4-5 hits only in 7.
Can Kazuya still do a takedown in T8? Did they change the imput for it or is it no longer a move for him. I used to be pretty good at mixing in td’s with Kazuya in T7
Very easy combo with good wall travel is 3,1,4 df3,2,1 df1,df2 Also for ws1,2 if you dropping ws1+2 you can just do 1,2,4,3 b2,2,1+2 for easy 60 damage (only 3 less damage) In rage you can do ws1,2 1,2,4,3 1 RA for 75 non recoverable damage
@@xbgsheikiii3593 thats what I mean. If you could buffer EWGF on block then I would stfu, but you don't have this, and you don't even have an inferior option to leave you with the basic option and the high skill high reward option. Jin and Devil Jin have can cans AS WELL AS EWGF.
Is it viable to set L1 to special style, so the electric input becomes L1 2 L1. It still allows combos, without any chance of missing the electric. The only problem I see is the flash of the command list.
7:56 Im i Kaz main since T5:DR and that was a Beautiful combo.. whooo I felt that.. 8:44 Damn no rising 2 combo exhibition 😢.. I just imagine tho , things i could do.. I miss playing Tekken , havent played since 7. Mostly Kaz and H. Mishima
Hey SWE i was watching some of your matches from the beta and you talked about how kazuya felt weaker in this game and his combos felt inconsistent, has that changed since the beta or is that still your feelings on it rn?
I’m new to tekken and wanna learn kazuya and I see that using simple controls gives you 1 button ewgf is the worth it to learn to switch between both modes mid match so you can get electric each time
I'm new to the game but may have missed something so please help. I love Kazuya's 50/50 game but isn't the low option too risky as you get lauched easily if your opponent guesses right?
But that's the same with any low option not exclusive to kaz it's just something you have to be willing to risk plus u have mid options that do mad damage on low block opponents
