I've deleted all of my mods in Tekken 7 because apparently Bandai namco is after the modding community.. Seeing this attitude makes me really sad as this is the same community who helped Bandai Namco when Tekken franchise was considered over after the failure of Tag 2... Bamco's attacks on the modding community is like attacking the person who stood with you in your weakest times when everyone left.. And doing this they are just showing us that they now have achieved success and they don't need us any more.. It's heartbreaking cuz this is the same community who brought this much success to the franchise and modding the game makes it feel new and better.. And modding is the reason why we kept playing Tekken 7 until the very end because it made the game more fun and enjoyable...I hope bamco stops this attitude and gives us the respect we need.. Also I want to thank each and everyone of you because of your love and support.. You guys were always there for me when no one was.. You guys don't know how much seeing a single appreciating comment means to me.. I'll continue hard working to create more entertaining content for you people☺ And lastly I wanna say Eid Mubarak to you all❤ May God Bless everyone of you and fulfill your every wish and make life easier for you 😊

Bamco was like Kazuya is not hard enough to play with, let’s nerf him

"Hey, you know the character that is one of the most complex and hardest characters to play as in the entire roster? Let's make him more harder to play as!"

Its weird how many classic tools they removed from kaz, king and eddy, but one of my least favorite things is that CD3 does 30 dmg now instead of 40 in TK7, so much less satisfying now

tekken 7 kazuya hits like an actual fucking truck if u have the execution.. landing the regular helllsweep into heavens gate without the delay still felt like an accomplishment on p1

Like they couldn’t even give him the same heat bound as every other broken character

The nerf to Kaz's Df1 in Tekken 8 is one of the most baffling design decisions I have ever seen, apart from the whole Devil Jin system change nerf

You forgot to mention the changes to the unblockable, god I miss doing that at the wall

Kazuya now feels like how we was in Tekken 6 but way worse

I miss b2,1 so much lol

All i've noticed was Jin screaming like a b*t*h in T8 unlike T7 which was perfect 😂

Yes spread kazuya awareness

Just buff the df1 hitbox, bring back the cnt heat smash hitbox and hes FIXED bruh

mwkan speaking straight up FACTS

Also, in his devil form, for some reason, you can't cancel his cd3 or ff2 lasers, which is kinda confusing considering cd1 have that option. It literally weakens your wall carry, wall breaks and consumes your heat that you desperately need for wall oki. If I'm in the Reina's stage and broke the wall in heat I have to enter combo artist mode with 1,2,4,3 into dash df1,4 or something like 3,1, cd cancel, df3(wall splat) f3 and other unusual stuff. Why he even loses something in the first place? DJ, Jin, Drag and others have remote bomb button which you can't avoid in the neutral and has to play casino if blocked.

"What's up guys, Mainmanswe here. Today we are gonna watch a video of this player with amazing execution but I didnt know of him. After this video I watched a few other video's of him and I'm a fan now."

the one dude they didnt need to change bro fr

Yeah he doesn’t feel the same at all. Even though the basic mixups are the same, the combos are wayyy too different. I pretty much dropped him entirely

Did you make the drawing on the right side of the thumbnail? XD

You’d think they’d make Kazuya above mid-tier in this game after making him the main villain of the game and being the Tekken rep for Smash who’s top tier in that game

are you doing dvj next? really curious as to what your thoughts on his nerfed generics and transition to less fundamentals but more gimmicky and damage

Also they removed his fast unblockable which was so good at the wall

This hurts me watching and pisses me off. They nerfed him into a joke of a Mishima. Kazuya mains, we're screwed until they buff him.

Also his fastest mids both have huge downsides. His db1, 2 is a whopping -19 on block. You may be able to get away with it midscreen because of the push back, but there is absolutely none at the wall leaving you totally helpless. Some characters like Jun and Jin can punish midscreen ( f2 with Jun and Jin ff2). It’s only safe in heat because you have the option to heat dash. Also, why is the db1 -10 on block? It’s not hit confirmable either. Baffling. His next fastest is df4. Very similar to ws4 but worse in every way. It is hit confirmable, but doing df 4, 4 leaves you at -4 like ws 4,4. If you just do df 4, you’re only +2 on hit but -9 on block. +2 gets you just a jab maybe not much you can do. Either take the small frame advantage or just lose your turn. All his other mids are way too slow.

Really good video I'm glad more people are starting to question some of the design I genuinely thought I was going insane, you should make one for King imo I think he was also turned into a joke but in the opposite way

I dont understand how they buff devil jins WS4 but leave kazuya at -4. Im shocked

yeah i dropped this character almost entirely. so much time invested, so much dedication, and its just not worth it at all

dang ive been always wondering why arent people doing df1,f2 i didnt know its not in tk8 i have an idea what if they added the cd+4,1 cd+1 but that is a blue spark that will deal like 5 more dmg than cd+4,1,1 but like if this is broken, make it only accessible on heat something like that?

I'm convinced they're making Kazuya bad on purpose.

Wow the sugarcoat combo but in HD at the end ! All it needs left is airplane green screen haha

Its insane how bad t7 looks compared to t8

T7 Devil Kazuya would destroy T8 Kazuya with his MID ELECTRIC -6 on block, 50 damage hell sweep, df1 2 easy mode 15 frame launcher f4 stun on crouch opponent for guaranteed 15f mid moves.

I remember picking him in 8 during cnt for the first time and going off memory, lack of b2,1 was baffling and still is

idk how new Kazuya players get above 70% win rate. I stopped playing him after hitting 50% with 200 games played. He has some very strong tools to win matches for sure especially against scrubs but still doesn't make up for how inconsistent and limited he is compared to most of the roster. Playing defense and counter attack sucks in a game that massively rewards an offensive playstyle over anything else. Truly a 50/50 character.

they had 2 beta test of this and they still didn't fix a damn thing

Thanks 4 The Video - I Hope They Revert Kazuya Back To His GLORY 🔥🔥

0:33 Being a modder, I have actually checked this out for myself. The hitbox isn't changed at all between Tekken 7 and Tekken 8. Exact same animation, exact same hitbox. There is a difference in combo travel in Tekken 8 however, which is probably why weird things like this happens

what is the thumbnail art

He's still a pretty strong character

they keep nerfing him for some reason, they forgor he's the real main character

More character comparison videos please and also I'd say currently Tekken 8 Kazuya feels like season 1 Kazuya before the buffs to his damage, frames and new moves. In fact CNT Kazuya was much more interesting to watch apart from the broken and long combos.

This made me miss Tekken 7 😢

Kazuya is the goat , no matter how much they nerf him ,i'll never drop him

kaz mains eating lean for the next 5 years, pretty sad. Still main him any day tho

I hate when they make twin piston into mini combo launcher back then we can do pretty much thing with twin piston

T6 Vanilla and T8 CNT Kazuya: 😈 T6 BR/Launch and T8 CBT/Launch Kazuya: 🤡 Kazuya seems to be a good character in non-existent and early versions of Tekken before launch.

GREAT summary. The df1 hitbox nerf and the heat burst range nerf really limits his combo options, and the damage reward that comes with insane execution. If people with execution want to go for that triple or quad electric combo, the game should be promoting that since Kazuya is all about execution. Actually the damage isn't even that much higher even with quad electric (low 80s) given how difficult that is, but at least making the combo more reliable would be rewarding for those who can pull off quad electric.

Thank you for this! 😢 I feel happy when people FINALLY stand up for Kazuya. So messed up they way they did him. EDIT: Be sure to have rage turned off for accurate damge (when he's already in devil)

That death combo at the end has me shocked

Ojala que en la próxima actualización de tekken 8 mejoren a los personajes como kazuya

Recently went back and tried Kaz in 7 (I'm a Devil Jin main) and goddamn he's so clean. Being centred on electrics just feels good. Doesn't help that electrics got a soft nerf with 8's lack of neutral.

one combo I found after a bit of pratice was 2 ewgf, df 3,2,1. dash. 3,1,df,3 if I remember it does like 74

😭😭😭 from a 176 touch of death combo to having the bare minimum in a game full of freaks

B2,Df2 should be a move for combos. Literally just take the animation for b2 then the animation for the second hit of df1,df2 and you have given us b2,1 back. No clue why these changes were made lol

Thumbnail 10/10

Whats a standard route for combos? I cant get df1,2 to be consistend unless i cut the combo short :/

I started playing tekken for the first time at the end of T7 maining kazuya, why did I do that

I was dumb thinking this was gonna be able kazuyas role in the story I didn’t even think about his gameplay itself

I miss cd1 wall combo so much. Not only on devil jin but on kazuya too

After ff3 combo starter i use ws1+2 but you need to wait until oponent hit the ground to conect. Its weird but its work. Its better then ss3 because u have alot of time.

I see alot of people getting natural hit moves into guaranteed heat engager or follow up move. They could give kazuya f4 that hit stun if they crouch. Give a df1,2

Doing Perfect wind fist is painfully enough for me he already feels limited on options 😭

I was happy about T8's Kazuya ewgf range buff but that was the only thing they buffed I think...they took away most of its dominating damage moves.

Rest in peace Kazuya.

2:59 strange how hwoarang keeps his while kazuya doesn’t. 🤔

i'm happy as long as they buff the hit box on heat smash and df1,2 or give back b2,1. i do not think 3,1 loops are very fun to do.... This would open for so many fun combo routes, which i kinda miss. Keyword for me is FUN. Don't care how strong kazuya is, he's just my favorite character and i'll play him anyways.

I used to main both Kazuya and Steve.. I think Kazuya's combo is way harder in T8, while still being playable with super high damage. Steve otoh is super nerfed easily from top 5 in T7 to bottom 5 in T8

Now I get why Main Man doesn’t do df2 electrics no more.

Kazuya was the "hErO" in T7, so that's why he's so good. In T8, he's the "vILliAn," so he is bad in this game. 🤯

8s Hitbox in general is baffling to me. Certain moves on animation that should hit wiff, other moves that wiff by a mile in animation confirmed hit. Moves that track the hitbox but don't in animation. Its so weird

I miss the df 12, made for a good punish for -15 And now good luck launching a rage art unless you're in heat.

A lot of changes about Kazuya in T8 piss me the hell off man, the DF1 being the biggest offender I like 3,1 cancels but removing the triple electric staple combo unless you're slightly off axis hurts my soul

I use to get a lot of wins in T7 off of his cd 3+4 (combat roll attack) because it combo. Not anymore smh, it only steel pedal kicked now.

also to mention kazuya was a damage/comeback machine and they nerfed his damge alot too :(

His df1 f2 was replaced by the T6 version of df1 2

ah... i still miss my guy :(

Another thing worth mentioning imo is tag 2 b41 just being gone from the game. I don't see why the current b4 couldnt just be standing 4 and b41 return

T7 kazuya feels better to play

Good old Kazuya Days 😎 never gets Old in my Mind !!! I was a Beast with Him !! And now when i play him in T8 it feels like i play FAKEZUYA 🤦

They basically made all the harder characters 10x harder to use and weaker lol while brain dead characters like Feng, Dravonuv, Xiaoyu and king get cheap and easier mechanics

They need to make it possible to cancel the B2,2 into a crouch dash, just like 3,1, so with this change DF1 won't whiff during combos all the time and it would bring back his old 3-4x EWGF combo routes that everyone loved in T7, tbh it would buff his neutral game too a tiny bit, bc his pokes s***s(I think). But obviously Kazuya can't have such things.

PEWGF will never be the same after tk8 release

The second hit of cd 44 is useless unless you are at wall

you do know the stage you used on t8 is huge asf compared to 7 right? lmao try wall carrying an entire colloseum

these combos look much better than the t8 combos imo

Better or worse idk but for sure I have most fun playing Kaz in T8 far ahead of any other char and almost got him to Fujin now

and they nerfed the damage on the last hit of heavens gate, you can see in this video it only does 1 dmg now before it was 6 dmg

For an antagonist, You’ll think he’ll be alot better in t8

Tekken 8 is the game where u get punished for blocking

Well, maybe I'm bad player, but when i fight against Kaz in T8 online in red ranks, it's always very hard

characters that require a bit of execution gets nerfed

FIrst few weeks of Tekken 8: :D 2 months after release: 😐

I think Kazuya in T8 was way stronger than his T7 counterpart, until the last patch (Heaven's Gate 1 damage lol).

Im late but his jab range in 8 is horrendous 112 whiffs sometimes leaving you to eat a unnecessary punisb

Good fucking luck landing a db2 on counter hit

the new hellsweep 4 4 is just bad also the side step 1+2 is useless some new moves is just bad and useless damage the only the only new thing i like for kazuya is BF 1~2 AND THE NEW WALL COMBO 5 HIT

Im not sure 3x Electric into bound should be a standard bnb combo anyway and sure wasnt durig the T6/TTT2 and the beginning of T7. That part is not a big deal IMO. f,f+3 is terrible that part is very true :/

Is that ash baby 😂

Honestly i loved Tekken 8 so much, it was so promising, but with every patch they just seem to be trying to make it bad/less fun, hopefully it changes, it's my fav fighting game franchise.

No more b2,1 for sure that's the worst part, the other things are OK, Kaz now has other tools to do the same or better
