Let me know what you guys think about kazuya and which character you want to see me talk about next
Can we talk about Jack? I feel hes underrated this time around. His stance is nuts
Azucena video?
you might talk about a feng cus he looks easy but in pro level is quite hard for example his waive cancel loop into ws ro qc 1+2 or 1 is a realy hard tech to do
It's fine to glaze but wow
Shaheen, he's the best tekken character but has very little player base. He has pokes, he has hard stuff, he has mix, ch tools and on top of that he has slide. So why is he so forgotten?
Cant be lazy vs kazuya and you cant be lazy as a kazuya player. I will always respect the character as being optimized with kazuya requires tons of effort and consistency to be successful.
True.
And let them taste that ➡️⭐⬇️↘️ 🔼⚡✊
Can be lazy now, the buffs dumbed down Kazuya
Used to respect kaz players but now everyone jumping on the bandwagon since the buffs
@@pgames3playerHMx lol look at the new Kazuya comers still trash because they are so used to playing dumb characters, his buffs aren't that crazy he just becomes much more consistent, stop acting like he is a crazy character to use now.

Honestly, one of the greatest fighting game characters of all time. I played tekken because of him.
Not just fighting games ... All games.
As a dark souls player and someone whom had dad Issues playing Kaz just made sense
Wut? 😭😭😭
@@Pepsimanv2 you know. being a lil niglet, wanted to beat dad..somehow felt like I could relate to Kaz
we're really livin the same life
I can relate to Kazuya a lot, I to was thrown off a cliff at 9 years old by my father
Very relatable 😅
The real protagonist of Tekken is Kazuya. He is the main character in 1, the villain in 2, opens the trailer for 4 and 5, is the cover in 6, co-star with Heihachi in 7 and villain in 8. He is also the one who appears the most in other games like Smash Bros ultimate and Street Fighter VS Tekken cover
Pd: Jin fought Azazel and he was hurt all of Tekken 7.
Kazuya fought Azazel and......😉
Totally agree. Kazuya Mishima is the GOAT. He is TEKKEN. It all started with him.
Exactly. I picked up Tekken because of Kazuya. Jin is cool but Kazuya is the face of tekken.
Yah man without Kazuya no Tekken but also I miss heihachi@@polishsausage648
Heihachi has appeared in more other games. He's playable in Soul Calibur 2, Smash Course Tennis, Smash Course Tennis 2, Pac-man Fever, Pro Baseball Famista 2011, Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, Full Bokko Heroes X, Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session, and is also a skin for the Mii Brawler in both Smash 4 and Ultimate.
Yes he is and Namco had to bring him back cause the Ogs like myself hated it when they tried to replace him with jin in 3
As a Yoshi and Lars main, trying out Kazuya felt wildly different, and the difference in grind was night and day; i realised what a truly difficult character felt like. Kazuya players get my respect.
That's how I felt when I picked up Bryan and especially Steve
Bro, y'all yoshi players are something else. Such a unique character, will never match up with two who fight the same. I wanna pick him up sometime soon. Trynna get my Mishima's out of the red hell
I think one of the reasons why kazuya is so popular is because fighting game players in general are probably more likely to be seeking a challenge overcome and because how difficult kazuya is to play it maximize that feeling of overcoming a challenge.
Him and Vegeta would definitely get along.
Nahh
Well Kazuya's appearance was heavily inspired by Vegeta
Bro hit the spot even kazuya players didn't know. We play Kazuya more than we play tekken.
I agree, I would also argue that the character forces you to actually play Tekken
One thing I love about Kazuya is how complex of a character he is.
Him being thrown off by a cliff, trauma he had from his childhood, etc.
Gameplay wise, I like his moveset and to me his pretty simple to use.
Tekken 4 was my first. I love his formal outfits and his military armor from TK:6. His karate gi is cool. But I personally don’t like it that much.
To most iconic Kaz fans, his most iconic battle grunt is “DORYA”.
From TK:1-Tag Tournament, “TWAH” was another iconic voice.
Now, both DORYA and TWAH are together. Making Kaz badass than ever!
Kaz main forever!

Kazuya is a badass character. I fell in love with him in Tekken 4. That "yakuza" aesthetic he had fit the character so well. But it wasn't until T5 that the character really found his present day identity. All his new animations had a whole new level of style and ferocity that elevated the character to even greater heights of badassery. It's like his sole purpose and focus is on sadistically crushing his opponent's soul into oblivion. But there's a seething stillness and patient discipline that the character has before he explodes into action. Like the destruction of his opponent is inevitable and already determined by fate. His stoic and indomitable nature is why he's one of my favorite characters.
I know what you mean. I had no idea how he played, I just thought he looked incredibly cool so I decided to play Tekken and main him. And the way he plays is even cooler than I could've imagined. I love how even though he's the main character, he has a pretty polarized playstyle with huge strengths and huge weaknesses, and high difficulty (usually main characters are easy and jack of all trades). I also love how every attack feels like he's trying to rupture an organ in the opponent, the impact is crazy.
Most of us old Kazuya fans really disliked what Harada did to him. It was more interesting when he actually didn't totally "loose" to devil
@@samojede6776 That's not what Harada did to him. They're clearly going for something else with this character now. Otherwise they would have just killed him off like Heihachi.
@@sugoi9680 Yeah his ending in T8 was pretty interesting. The way him and Jin lost the devil gene. Should take the story in an interesting new direction.
@@tongpoo8985 Exactly. His "abolishing fist" (df+2) was an unstoppable punisher in T5.
I'm a new Tekken player with Tekken 8 and picked up Kazuya because of his inclusion in Smash. I've gotta say, he's incredibly fun and rewarding to play, even if he can't cheat like some of the other characters. Awesome character design, fun moveset, and just so much fun!
KazuyaGang
100% agree with everything. It's also the reason I don't play Kazuya. Let the hardcore players play him haha
This is my first tekken and the first character I picked up was kazuya 😭
@@seanbrown7083me too I also Main him In Smash ultimate he’s easily my first og character I picked up second coming Jin his moves are so satisfying to land
hes intermediate difficulty maybe hard at best but def not hardcore
I like playing as Kazuya and LOVE playing against Kazuya.
Same. Kazuya mirrors are tekken in its purest form
@@tongpoo8985this !
Omw yes. I love fighting other Mishima's, the mind games are top tier
8 minutes if the hardest sweatiest kazuya glazing ever seen, and im here for it.
It's the only Kazuya glazing you'll see
Millennials: Kazuya Mishima
Gen Z: Jin Kazama
I may be wrong but it feels like that.
Been a kazuya player from the beginning wouldn't have another. Big fan of his journey
My man pumping out content like his life depended on it. Appreciate you bro! Keep em coming!
More to come!
Forreal, when I first clicked on a video from this guy I thought “he must be a big Tekken RUclipsr”. He has good sound and video quality, always a good script and an appealing explaining/storytelling voice to listen to.
(If somebody says I’m a suck up, stfu it’s called a compliment)*
He’s just the perfect character. He’s a Badass, he’s extremely rewarding to use despite being the hardest character in the game to pilot by a very large margin, and he’s addictive. I’ve been maining him for 30 years, myself. Very happy that he’s no longer trash tier after patch 1.05! Sick video as always bro.
Idk unless you have insane execution the reward is pretty meh? Like unless you can staple the hardest electric combos and df2 pewgf his reward isn't that high compared to the other characters right?
@@remon.d8341 his damage is much better now. But I was referring to the feeling you get after beating your opponent with kaz. You never feel carried, you always feel like you earned your win via your own skill. And there’s something special about that in a game full of bullshit, gimmicky characters that win for you on their own.
@@The_Buff_Guy he also has a 50/50 based on a low that is very fast, does decent damage and knocks down, and a mid that is safe and launches on normal hit. that on itself is a huge dose of dopamine when it lands as ff3 combos deals a fckton of damage and hellsweep drops them down so you can keep opressing them. and I didn't even touch the electric, which I don't even have to explain the appeal lol
playing him is a LOT of pain but is also a LOT of fun
If you think hes the hardest character than youve been smoking too much
@@remon.d8341the reward for casually executing high skill high damage combos with nasty oki is the feeling of practice paying off.
When you lose to kaz you lose to the kaz player’s hours of practice everytime.
Kazuya is the perfect character, he has clear strengths and weaknesses which is interesting, high executions requirements, he's also badass, basic yet cool design
is very honest and simple no abusive strings, poking, nothing like that , just punishment, spacing, movement basically pure tekken
Honestly, I can’t be ever mad at a good Kaz player if I ever face one. There’s always something so satisfying with his combo strings and gameplay style. That’s why he’s one of my fave Tekken characters
My last tekken was tekken 3, i was 9 years old, came back in T7 and i picked Kazuya straight away lol. Doryaaa.
Perfectly said. As someone who been maining him for years, I have to thank this character for not only sparking my love for Tekken but for all fighting games. This character is something special man
I’m 35 years old I have every Tekken title to date including T8 and I’m ranked Tekken God he defines the true definition of Tekken he’s such a simple but complex character and his lore is unmatched . I still watch the animated cartoon lol yes even in 2024👉🏾💯🔥👌🏾😎
Absolutely perfectly said. This fucking character I swear. I went from barely knowing who he was, to loving him when he was released in smash, then absolutely E N A M O R E D when I picked up Tekken 8.
Kazuya "MFING" Mishima is a drug and we are all hopelessly addicted, yet none of us would have it any other way.
I'm shit at Tekken in general, esp Kaz sadly. But I can confirm that he's the funnest character to play and watch. I can't describe it
But hey, among the things that make him cool, you forgot to mention his voice. Seriously, Shinohara-san is doing such a fantastic job voicing Kazuya. I'll die on the hill that he's the best voiced character in the entire series.
Bro, Kazuya is the definition of drip. Dude rocks a gator skin tailored suit that's purple(my favorite color and also seen as a color of royalty and the crown chakra) has immaculate shoe game, and has been across the entire spectrum morally. If you want your anime protagonist, play Jin. If you want the grizzled seen some shit soldier on a warpath(while still remaining stylish) you play Kazuya.
Kazuya Mishima , es Tekken ⚡💪
En serio.
Yeah, he's very interesting both gameplay and lore wise. Also, he's a much difficult final boss to fight in arcade battle.
Good video! I don’t know why we Kazuya mains stay with that guy! He forces you to play other characters and learn their strengths and weaknesses so that u can use it against them while u r playing him! Been a Kaz main since Tekken 2 on the PlayStation2 console, and I wouldn’t have it no other way!
The only Tekken character worth talking about and to ever draw a dime.
I never even tried Kazuya in tekken 7. It wasn't until I played with him in smash that I decided to try him in Tekken. The wider gap in the electric gave me enough trust to finally play him. So thanks smash I guess.
I remember the time when I got into Tekken for the first time. Kazuya reminded me of Vegeta. When I saw the Electric Wind God Fist (EWGF) for the first time, I was determined to learn the move set. However, I didn't realize how difficult it was to perform the EWGF. I spent 5 hours a day trying to learn this move for about 3-4 months but could never hit it. I gave up trying to learn it and took a 3 or 4 week break from Tekken 7. When I came back to play the game, all of a sudden something clicked, and it became so easy that now I'm very consistent with the move.
The GOAT himself
Was a kid when Tekken 1 came out and mashed with 3 characters mostly. Kazuya because he wore sneakers that looked like mine, Law because he made the same sounds as Liu Kang who was my favorite in MK, and after my cousin unlocked him Armor King because he was a big black cat with spikes. Parents got me Tekken 2 and with the amount of times Kazuya and Devil beat my ass, I had to main him from that point on without even knowing what that meant yet. Him and Armor King. Took quite a while to get 3 and I remembered being disappointed in Kazuya not being there so I played mostly Forest since Armor King was dead too. But my two goats returned in Tag. Been rocking ever since, and it all started because of sneakers.
Kazuya is the only character in Tekken 2 to do a side step. The rest is history.
You nailed it bro.
I upgraded my understanding of the game when I switched to kazuya...
...BIG TIME.
Won my first tournament at media play back in 95 with Kaz. Never looked back.
I absolutely love Kazuya and he will always be my main. I just don’t like the fact that a lot of people play him because I really don’t like ditto’s in fighting games😂
The Vegeta of Tekken!
Kazuya is the definition of a real gangster! Man is ruthless! 😈
Kazuya after the patch: *evil laugh* heeheheeh 😈⚡️✊
I like Kazuya cause in a way he's the most simple character to face. Tiny moveset with very distinct animations means he takes 3 hours to learn how to play against.
I, like a lot of people I imagine, have a tendency to get tilted and mad at my opponents character choices if I'm on a loss streak. Kazuya is the only character who when I lose to EVEN when I'm already pissed off, I go "Yeah, okay, fair enough."
Finally the goat gets his video
Fix Kaz nice gentleman
This video made me tear up from happiness and appreciation
I started tekken from T3 when Jin was a Kaz clone. I remember going to an arcade to try T4 for the first time and picking up Jin to find out he no longer did Mishima style. I was like what is happening??? Where’s my 1,1,2… wtf.. WTF
Bruh you hit the nail right on the head. I couldn’t ask for a better video on why people like Kazuya.
6:24 is Kazuya really the villain of Tekken 7? In my eyes you played as the villain for most of the game (Heihachi) and Akuma was a secondary villain.
Maybe it’s because I had context and just thought the ending was kazuya’s moment as the guy
Actually he is the villain in Tekken 7 and so as Tekken 8
@@ghoulredeyedemon2024 In tekken 8 sure, but I view Kazuya as maybe a protag in T7
@@tableprinterdoor that makes sense
you hit the spot when you said when you land your first ewgf and the design that's why I main him for a long time. Well said
Kazuya was always a favorite character of mine. When Tekken 4 released in 2002 for ps2, I first picked Kazuya, trying out his moves and played arcade mode with him. Kazuya was the first character I choose to use in tekken 8 online going against another Kazuya player.
The original MAIN character of tekken
i love kazuya man Im pretty much a mishima exclusive with Jin included but what gets annoying is when kazuya mains say people only pick up Jin because they can't play Kazuya and then them keep on bragging and bragging how hard their character is lmao
jin is overpowered in t8
I don't see people say that, but it's pretty accurate in tekken 8. Not in previous games though.
If JIN is OP then so is everyone else especially after this patch @@theanti-hypemonitor9079
In previous tekkens jin was on the same level as kaz in terms of difficulty in tekken 8 he is just dumbed down alot in this game.
@@Notwedsquid yeah I still love playing him and think he's a really cool character, but tekken 7 jin is one of the greatest fighting game characters of all time so its a little disappointing what they did to him in this game.
I heard a comparison a while back that kinda made it easy to understand, especially since so much of the smash community is the new audience for Tekken or Kazuya as a character.
He's popular because he's like the Melee Fox of the game. High execution character who ends up being the icon of his game, and who has a mechanic central to his gameplan that defines a lot of his high execution, but it's hard in a way that's easy for a new player to both understand how it works and to grasp the difficulty of. While having the depth, mindgames, and weak enough disadvantage to keep high level players engaged and thrilled.
Melee's incarnation of Fox is definitely more of a one hit wonder while Kazuya was forged through refinement and legacy.
I play Kazuya not Tekken 😂
All seriousness, this guy makes the game way more fun for me than any other character.
Awesome content as always ❤
i’ve never side eyed a video playing in the background more than this one thinking the youtuber is talking about me 😂😂 what can we say, we love us some DORIYA
I started Tekken 7 when I saw the first trailer for Tekken 8. I started the game with Kazuya, the game being HELL is an understatement at that time. But the satisfaction when I became decent with him was amazing. Im at Kishin with Kazuya now, and I enjoy playing him more than anything. I like everything about the character, sound design, looks, moves and play style.
"It was perfect down to the last minute details"
Kazuya has a cliff waiting for every opponent
This is one of your best videos. Keep it up.
Id like to see Bryan next.
I wish I had the patience and dedication to play him. To me He (and Heihachi) is the coolest mishima
I would love a vid like this about Heihachi Michima! Kazuya is cool for sure. No one is cooler than the iron grandpa! 😎
Hi Boogard, great videos, I always follow you very willingly. Speaking of characters, it would be nice to see a video of you analyzing the most difficult characters in Tekken 8.
As a new tekken 8 player, kazuya was legit at the bottom of the list of characters i wanted to play. Compared to the rest of the roster, he looked like a normal dude, same with Jin. Only after playing for a bit i got familiar with these characters
I may be more of a Jin fan when it comes to the Mishimas, but I will never disrespect Kazuya. I've always had respect for him throughout the series. The character and his general design over the years is one that I always love to see in action, even if I myself don't see myself playing him. . I want to derust some of my Jin stuffs. But Kazuya is definitely a character I'd like to try and learn at some point in T8's lifecycle.
Kaz is just perfect everything about him hits he’s extremely rewarding especially being one of the hardest characters in the game to play and master, hopefully we could see kazuya be played in a major tournament and win with no bs but just the way he is very honest need amazing fundamentals and just be a good player.
Every time I fight a kazuya, I respect it, even on a lost, because I don't feel like I lost to BS (especially Lili, Nina, asuka, and king). I feel like I went into a real match with someone.
And yes I main Jin. (Jin, kazuya, and yoshimitsu)
Man. He’s who I flocked to in the demo when getting into Tekken, I know he is a HARD ass character to learn and play effectively. I’m getting better with executing PEWGF, and I finally hit Red rank with him! Challenging but so fun to play.
Tekken 8 was my first fighting game, Lee and Kazuya seemed like the coolest in the game but I used to be scared cuz everyone said theyre so hard. I'm still trash but I enjoy playing them the most. Electric is one of the best feeling moves in any video game ever
Reina main here and I love to fight Kazuya. Not only because of the immense respect for people to get good with him but they almost never 1 and done you.
Electric Wind God Dopamine Hit, you are completely right
Kazuya is honest like Bryan .. those two characters if I lose I just respect it
Hes a bastard, thats why we love him
Kazuya is to Tekken players what BMW is to drivers.
He’s just a badass! Like design of him had gotten way cooler! His quotes in game is fire!
he shares it with his family, ppl might get confused why there's a fckng bear
Akira’s 1 frame knee is the most satisfying move to pull off.
yooo, it's the guy from Smash Brothers
Still wish Kazuya would get more comp play.
Kazuya is my all time fav fighting game character, I don't say much & am quite reserved unless I'm with people I actually care about just like he & also btw, 7:07 wish granted! :)
i loveeee fighting against a good kazuya.. it really feels like im getting fucked up when bro is good
Kazuya and heihachi have always been my favourites characters in tekken. Please talk about iron grandpa. ( Heihachi michima )
Ironically, as a kid, I only had Tekken 3 and didn't know english, so the majority of tekken storyline was a total unknown. I didn't even know he exists, lol.
As a Bryan main, I have mad respect for Kazuya players.
Ive used Kazuya since Tekken 1. Best tekken character of all time
In the last chapter of TEKKEN7 story mode two men were fighting KAZUYA didn't looks as a kid against his father
But in TEKKEN8 JIN was a kid against his father
Everyone like a strong man than an emotional kid
I play Tekken because of him
As a Kaz player since T1, here's my thoughts...
... He needs his own wavedash effect and sound like the other members in the family git in T8 lol
As a Feng Wei loyalist since T5 I’d love to see a future video covering him and exploring why they are failing to develop his character despite him supposedly being Harada’s favourite…
He’s one of the most beautifully designed and animated characters in the game yet they just won’t give him an ounce of story time or character development…
gotta be the most boring video LOL its a spam character with OP frames 'failing to develop his character" this dosnt go well together with feng LOL
@@KoufalKoufax 😂
If Kazuya wouldn't exist, Tekken would also not exist to me. Kazuya is the baddest to ever appear in videogames
Tekken 3.
@@fuckthisstupidasshandleshitJin is Kazuya's clone in T3, there's that.
One word for me to describe Kazuya: Intimidating
When I first got exposed to the franchise with Tekken 7, I legit get nervous when I see a Kazuya player with them electrics and hell sweep-
Also the iconic "DORYA!!" is so addicting
Played with Kazuya for decades and I finally gave him up. It’s just too difficult to master him. Good bye 👋🏽 old friend.
Just look at him. Kazuya is 50 years old.
The Coolest Intro about Kazuya is Tekken 4 intro..
As a player, Kazuya has that barrier of difficulty that really makes it hard for me to really get into playing the character. Having said that, due to that difficulty, no doubt there's respect to be given to the players who main him.
Not to mention, there's that aura of coolness that Kazuya always oozes & in viewer's perspective, he's a treat to watch.
Was gonna mention perhaps you can do other character like Yoshi, the Bears etc (have a bit of break until you do Jin), but with that, it came to mind.
Have you considered expanding your "Why everyone loves/hates" etc series to characters beyond just the Tekken 8 roster?
For example, "Why everyone love Lei Wu Long" or "Why everyone hates Lucky Chloe" etc etc.
Of course, some of those you cover may get added as DLC, but some may not (like Bruce for example, highly unlikely they'll add him given Fahk is more likely with the leaks).
They tried to kill him in tekken 3, but when Tekken Tag Tournament was released, the fans demanded his return. Tekken can't exist without him.
Cause Kazuya is the Boss,!! Kazuya is Tekken.
Your dream is going to come true. Very special content.
I only started playing Kazuya because Heihachi is gone now but i dont regret the switch.
The moment I saw he flex his bulge bicep in T8 trailer, I know he gonna be 1 of my favorites :D.💪
