Kazuya Is the Worst Designed Character In Smash

#shorts

[faffywhosmilesatdeath]

I remember seeing a post right after his release where a Smash player was like "KAZUYA HAS [X] FRAMES OF INTANGIBILITY ON EWGF" or some other move and a Tekken player responded "he's your problem now" and I just laugh every time I think about it.

You don’t understand, it’s a risk reward system.
Risk: You lose $5
Reward: You can bully anyone online

He is also the ONLY man in 20 years of smash history to have a BACK TILT

my bad for safely attacking you once kazuya, i clearly deserve taking a true 50% worth of damage from zero as punishment

[VD_RXTR]

Kazuya is the incarnation of "just parry bro"

[greedo]

In terms of how he plays compared to tekken, he is extremely well designed. As a smash character, not so much

[melleen]

He's fair. Just don't get hit. Or grabbed. Or don't let him hit your shield. And don't be offstage.

Once again I am reminded of what Sakurai said in the Kazuya presentation. Sakurai said that he was surprisingly quite weak, so they buffed him mid development.
What was he like?!

[Parzival]

fun fact: electric wind god fist is abbreviated to EWGF because that's the noise you make when it hits you

[MrArk]

My peanut brain was thinking "man's shirtless in half of his skins, how bad looking are his pants?!" before being lectured on Kazuya combos

[Azteck]

He was designed to be a raid boss then someone got the bright idea to make him playable.

" *_He's not broken, he's lore accurated_* "

Sakurai, while designing kazuya:
ewgf, more like, idgaf

[ognicc]

Man was a 50/50 character in tekken be glad you don't have hell sweeps

[aboriginee]

man came to smash and said 'ight, ya'll fighting on my terms now"

[unwornseal]

If we're being honest, taking the term badly designed literally. Min Min and Sonic literally exist

[shinesparkss]

It’s good thing he’s hard af to learn. I don’t think I could survive fighting good Kazuyas every day on Elite Smash

[jacksongaming]

Let’s not mention Steve who can literally just place WALLS AND CEILINGS in midair

[Luke-nxpb]

Thank God only 2 people are good with this character

[ledoge]

kazuya isn't gonna sugarcoat it anyways
