Oh lord, this is just what I wanted! In all honesty Max, you could probably do a legacy series for all Mishimas, their lore is fucking hilarious and awesome.
Gotta love excellent thumbnails. The heat from the title blending with Kazuya's eye (Devil Eyes) makes it feel like a foreshadow for what's to come later on.
YES! I knew a Kazuya Legacy was about to come up! Can't wait to see more, Max! Keep up the amazing work, buddy, it's such a pleasure enjoying these Legacy videos, buddy!
Fun fact: Kazuya's design was heavily inspired by Vegeta. Also Vegeta used Kazuya's Dragon uppercut during the early moments of the Tournament of Power.
@@Timquan. Some major differences:Vegeta likely would protect his kids and wife while Kazuya wants to kill Jin. Also Kazuya could possibly decapitate Vegeta. Yeah, Vegeta is a Saiyan but Kazuya would likely walk it off and be in his Devil form.
@AT Productions Thing is, there's a few of the VA's for some Tekken characters that have done voice work in Dragon Ball at one point or another. That's definitely the case with 2 of Heihachi's VA's, who voiced Mr Satan from Dragon Ball Z.
One of the most legendary fighting game characters, I know there's Jin kazama who's also a legend, but kazuya defined the meaning of the word iconic. His stunning strength and martial arts are killer!
I think that it would nice to have the Bowling Alley Rooftop theme from Tekken 3D Prime Edition be added as well, but it's probably incredibly unlikely that it will be added given how it seems to be one of the least known and played Tekken games.
@@MalikM-VGM-Rand Depends on how seriously you take it and whether you like the tag mechanics. It's a casual Tekken player's wet dream, but when taken more seriously it's not nearly as fun. Massive roster, tons of content, questionable gameplay for the series.
I really wanted a Saturn because I loved VF in the arcade, but my sister protested and we got a PlayStation with Wipeout and Tekken instead. Decent decision in retrospect
Oh the nostalgia!!! Used to play this game all the time when I was a kid!!! Tekken will always have a place in my heart in fighting games and in video games in general
You know what would be funny if when you're using a Mii with the Heihachi costume, the victory win screen for Kazuya is him throwing the Mii off a cliff then looking to the camera
Maybe it will be reimagined, with Kazuya doing one of his smirks with a more angryman expression, and then his one special eye glints as he looks at the camera.
that fucking smile will always be golden
Let’s not forget Kings legendary ending where he interacts with the live action orphans. Man that really makes me laugh to this day.
If that smile isn't in Smash I _swear_
I will be mildly disappointed
The most genuine smile he's ever given. For once-just once-he's happy.
: )
@@Bloodlyshiva He's also happy in his Tekken 5 ending, when he's reminiscing about the good ol' days with his dear old grandpa... right before he kills him. But, anyway, that's not Canon.
If they came make Sephiroth walk into a wall of flames in Smash Ultimate, they can totally give Kazuya the awkward smirk outro.
Imagine you lose the battle and suddenly you see just Kazuya's face getting closer and he awkward smiles
I need It
i hope its either one of his victory screens OR the reward picture at the end of his classic mode run. (I know those pictures are an easy thing to forget exists but I'm confident Sakurai will likely use that to reference that smile.)
If not his down throw, make him tossing his opponent off a cliff his victory animation.
@@kaienjin5468 that's quite a good idea, maybe his fthrow tho, and it launches in the weird jigglipuff angle
Unfortunately there wasn’t
Kazuya’s weird ass smile at the end is perfect Smash Bros victory screen material
indeed
I'm expecting it to be either one of his victory screens OR the reward picture at the end of his classic mode run.
@@demsterclippy4252 I hope his Classic Mode Portrait shows him posing with Ken, Ryu, VF2 Akira, and Terry Bogard.
I'm amazed that Max can play a Shoto so well he doesn't even need to use his projectiles
This is all fun and games till Jin got a projectile in SfxTk....
@@a_creatorsstuff17 I remember that, it was weird as hell. I think Steve got a short range projectile too, it was useless for anything other than extending combos
Kazuya doesn't have projectiles here. He learns Hadoken in Tekken 8.
Shots fired bang bang
@@cantgetmyheadright2610 he doesnt need projectiles cuz he has a gun
Still funny when you realize that the creator of this series voiced half of these characters in the earlier Tekken games.
For real
Yeah, Law, Yoshimitsu & Kunimitsu in this game were all voiced by Harada.
Just like Ed Boon in Mortal Kombat. Scorpion, Jax and even Liu Kang chicken noises were from him.
Same with gg1
Same with Daisuke Ishiwatari voicing Sol in everything Guilty Gear until Xrd.

@@fireandthunder9862 just looking for a comment like yours
Kazuya was raised by Heihachi after being thrown off the cliff. He was always rich.
That Kazuya smile at the end needs be a win outro for him in Smash Ultimate.
With the bgm from the scene being his victory theme. But only for that animation.
It could be his classic mode victory art
It does.
It should
I think it's a given. He does a smirk of some kind in his Tekken 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 endings. It's as much a part of him as Electrics and Hellsweeps.
"THIS IS NOT A BRUTALITY, HEIHACHI. IT'S A FATALITY!"

That is good
I got that reference lmao
*BY CROM*
Lol, we're all either 80s kids or just the really cool ones
Wow! I was gonna say a day at the beach but what did you say, something about maiming? Jesus Christ!
The hype for a new Smash fighter officially begins when Max does a Legacy series! Let’s go!
@Keenan Hunter Still doesn't mean we can't have alternate endings in this series!
His smile might possbily be his classic mode win art, given that it's not an actual win pose but something you see after beating arcade mode. That'd make the most sense
either that or him back throwing a heihachi mii off a ledge
@@LckeStudios I'm hoping the smirk appears as his classic mode picture. (Y'know, the little pictures you get at the end of credits when you finish a classic mode run.)
That's what I've been thinkin lol
I could see happening on the Zelda great temple, probably a Heihachi mii in there.
Kazuya: "A Shoto? No. I'm a Devil!"
A true freak
" OH MY GOD HE'S SO F**KING COOL!!! "
Now here we are with Tekken 8 with Jin actually just going Super Saiyan. How round a bout.
That Kazuya smile is the sweetest thing you could ever see, you'd almost forget he threw his father into a volcano.. Wait, what?
It looks like Heihachi is permanently dead this time, I say this not because he was thrown into a volcano, but because both of his voice actors have died
I think that's the point. How he was once the justified hero and now is one of the most evil characters in the series
@@odd-eyes6363 That is why he is my most hated character.
Back when we tought Kazuya made a pact with the Devil to survive the fall from that cliff when he was little...
When a Mishima that's seemingly a good guy smiles at the end of their endings, that's a sign that the whole world is screwed
Back when Tekken was a flavored Virtua Fighter competitor before it became what we recognize it as.
If Kazuya can jump like this in Smash, his recovery will be legendary
He does have a demon extra jump (and we know demon isn't a form so it's something he probably can always do)
Lmao. Imagine!
3:12
well...kinda
Well, it's just his double jump
Happy to see my boy in Smash.
@@jblue88hoodgamer54
In his reveal trailer, the character that represent King is Snake with his leopard skin
Kazuya's not a shoto. He's a wavu wavu dasher!
Not yet...
Well his playstyle is in ttt and in t5 his playstyle we know now has been established
Jack's character model in the first game is the most cursed shit I've ever seen in a videogame.
looks Like the Chad vs Virgin Meme
What about Kuma?
Kuma is more cursed
Oh lord, this is just what I wanted!
In all honesty Max, you could probably do a legacy series for all Mishimas, their lore is fucking hilarious and awesome.
So no one's gonna talk about how King looks without his mask?
He's made of bronze in tekken 1
Nah, he's so committed to his role as jaguar that he no longer speak any language but jaguar's noises
I still refuse to believe King is human. To me he will always be a jaguar in a buff man suit.
@AT Productions Ha!
Clever 😆
Yeah that is my thinking too Since the first tekken 1 💎
It all started with that smile....that damn smile.
I'm happy that Kazuya gets a legacy. He deserves it
Saddest part about a Kazuya legacy is that we don't get to see Tekken 3
tekken tag at least
Gotta love how the most defining characteristics of a Mishima is that you have to throw a family member off a high place.
Makes me sad heihachi's tekken 3 ending isn't cannon
@@mrassassinscreedfan1 And you know Jin would really survive that lol.
Shotos toss fireballs, Mishimas toss family.
Take a shot with every shoto said
We riot if his derpy ass face victory screen isn't in Smash lmfao.
"Stop weaving this ass-basket, Dad!"
He's just mad 'cause you didn't call it an "Ass-ket".
I love that big, stupid grin Max has on his face at the end of Kazuya’s ending haha
So proud looking lol
The are few sounds that give me extra life points. And Tekken 1 Kazuya sounds are one of those.
_Twah!_
TWOAAH. URYAAA. YARH.
Classic.
Lee had those sounds in Tekken 1 due to a lack of voice actors for the fighters. He had a voice in Tekken 2 onwards.
"Stop weaving this ass basket, Dad." - Max, 2021
Gotta love excellent thumbnails. The heat from the title blending with Kazuya's eye (Devil Eyes) makes it feel like a foreshadow for what's to come later on.
13:24 When he asked "What makes you happy chat". I thought he or someone was going to say "That smile, that damn smile". lol
Anyone else remember that Tekken anime movie?
I had that on VHS.
Heihachi > axe
@@LeeONardo Kazuya > T-Rex
I still have my VHS.
It was my first time seeing animated nudity lol
I love how In Tekken throwing someone’s lifeless body in a bottomless pit doesn’t mean crap, if anything is assurance they will come back stronger lol

And Moonlight Wilderness. That would be like leaving out God-Shattering Star.
Oh wait, that happened. Praying for Moonlight Wilderness anyway.
Moonlit Wilderness is my favorite soundtrack. It BETTER be in Smash Ultimate.
Hoping for Dead Person and Heat Haze
Heat Haze Shadow and Touch and Go need to be in there. King's theme from Tekken 2 would also be up there.
God-Shattering Star is the most overrated song in the entire Nintendo library
I will definitely laugh my ass off if 7’s Distorter makes it in the lineup
Gotta love grabbing a midair opponent makes them plop to the ground.
Back when we tought Kazuya made a pact with the Devil to survive the fall from that cliff when he was little...
What brings me happiness.? All the *Tekken Music* possible that’s coming to Smash. 🤤🤣
And so it begins, the Road to Kazuya in Smash.
Gonna be weird seeing him skip Tekken 3
i mean to be fair jin is basically kazuya soooo i don,t see why he cant add it in.
Kazuya its not in tekken 3 so lets skip it
It's confirmed that heihachi killed him in his ending and jin is his son i didn't know that back when I like tekken
I guess. Hope he doesnt skip Tekken TAG though...
@@tarodeculture just watch the twitch VOD if you want to know
3:53 Jack really skipped leg day in this game 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why is the music so upbeat when Kazuya is murdering his father. Then he smiles at the camera wtf?
As Max said, "This is some weird shit."
It is a Mishima tradition.
At the time it was more like the good guy win. Kazuya turning evil wasnt official till tekken 2
The music is the same for all endings, which leads to similarly hilarious and unfitting shit across the board.
I love Kazuya's theme in the early games. The fight against him in Tekken 2 is one of my earliest fighting games memories.
Kazuya is canonically a sneaker head btw.
Been very happy with the legacy series you work on please and thank you continue to make these characters shine
i didint know Kazuya had a Terry-sans-the-jacket-and-hat costume
YES! I knew a Kazuya Legacy was about to come up! Can't wait to see more, Max! Keep up the amazing work, buddy, it's such a pleasure enjoying these Legacy videos, buddy!
EMOTIONLESS PASSION IS THE BEST TEKKEN SONG EVER
4:21 for me they better have Jin's theme from Tekken 3 in there I would be happy
Law in the character select looks like he just had a lemon.
I just now realized.
Paul is Just Ken with Some INSANE hair Gel and sometimes a Beard and Shoes.
I can't believe Max is doing a Vegeta legacy.
Fun fact: Kazuya's design was heavily inspired by Vegeta. Also Vegeta used Kazuya's Dragon uppercut during the early moments of the Tournament of Power.

13:30 Best late father's day gift ever
Its amazing how the moves have basically been the same since the game first came out
I love it when you do stuff like this Max!
I like how Kazuya was a protagonist but never a "hero" in this franchise.
Was a simple idea but for the time was a great "plot twist" in the end.
Thank you Uncle Max! I never knew who this guy was before and now I'm up to date😎🍻🍺
Your passion, knowledge and skill is awesome dood. From the heart it’s inspiring. Love your content.
Kazuya kinda had the smirk in the smash trailer when it's the "joins the fight" part. That's what I thought it was referencing anyway lol.
Old School fighting games expert. Wanna watch all the episodes, great content dude. It was fun watching you play this must go on ...
Idkw, but the graphics, music and basically the overall look of these types of old games are always so cool and enjoyable to me. Great vid Max! 👍
One of the most legendary fighting game characters, I know there's Jin kazama who's also a legend, but kazuya defined the meaning of the word iconic. His stunning strength and martial arts are killer!
Im so early Kazuya wasnt even announced in smash yet
god damn, i live for these legacy series. love seeing max play these old games.
I hope they add the airport theme in smash ultimate
That and The Beach and Arena music from 4 seems like such a smash-friendly track.
Maybe even Heat Haze Shadow from 7.
I think that it would nice to have the Bowling Alley Rooftop theme from Tekken 3D Prime Edition be added as well, but it's probably incredibly unlikely that it will be added given how it seems to be one of the least known and played Tekken games.
Came back to say that sheep yodel did indeed make it into the soundtrack for Tekken music in smash!
3:36
Kazuya laying down the Law.
In the Kazuya presentation. The ending stage when he throws heihachi is now the same place filled with lava.
Oh boi it's gonna be good!!!!
The first and last game where Kazuya isn't totally evil lol
Max and another Tekken 1 longplay...hell yeah!
You ever think it's sad How Kazuya Only ever feels happy when watching his Family (Specifically his father) Suffer.
This takes me back to playing Tekken all day at my friends house next door on PS1. The music, fighting, everything was sweet!
Man! The Nostalgia. The memories. The....... THIS IS AWESOME!
I love Tekken, That being said looking back at this game its definitely the “Look how they massacred my Boy” in the Series.
I hope the background stays like that throughout the seires
This franchise has grown so much.❤❤
Creepiest shit ever when Kazuya looks at the camera in this game
I'm thinking of playing the games soon. I ended up loving SNK, so I don't see why I wouldn't like Tekken.
Tekken is dope.
I wouldn't advise T1, it is *very* rough.
@Asshat Zeppeli is TT2 any good?
@@MalikM-VGM-Rand Depends on how seriously you take it and whether you like the tag mechanics. It's a casual Tekken player's wet dream, but when taken more seriously it's not nearly as fun. Massive roster, tons of content, questionable gameplay for the series.
@Asshat Zeppeli I'd throw Tag 1 in that list, that game is the most underrated in the franchise
Backstory: Dad threw me off a cliff
Ending: Threw Dad off a cliff
I really wanted a Saturn because I loved VF in the arcade, but my sister protested and we got a PlayStation with Wipeout and Tekken instead. Decent decision in retrospect
So that's where the let's fight a boss intro comes from
Such happy music when throwing his dad off the cliff
There's a video where a karate instructor reacts to Max's shoto vid. Also, Kazuya legacy hype!
Yeah I saw that.
You have the video
Oh the nostalgia!!! Used to play this game all the time when I was a kid!!! Tekken will always have a place in my heart in fighting games and in video games in general
always nice to see this just to properly gauge how far Kazuya has come as a character
I can't unsee Kazuya holding Fren over the cliff now.
Of course Max derped his way into the 2P costume
You know what would be funny if when you're using a Mii with the Heihachi costume, the victory win screen for Kazuya is him throwing the Mii off a cliff then looking to the camera
Bruno at it again with top tier intro, another Max Struggle with the Xbox dying would be neat too.
2:07 his torso just went 360
I feel like Sakurai would do the smiling win screen but it might not get approved cause they don't want Kazuya to be portrayed as goofy.
Maybe it will be reimagined, with Kazuya doing one of his smirks with a more angryman expression, and then his one special eye glints as he looks at the camera.
Huh, just as i have started watchin your older Tekken Legacy videos, you show up with this
WHOOOOO YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!
Love the Bushido Blade jank animations in the intro
