Kazuya is set to join the Super Smash Bros Ultimate line up tomorrow
Overnight, Nintendo hosted the penultimate Super Smash Bros Ultimate character showcase, taking a deep dive into Kazuya, the next fighter coming to the game. As for when, June 30 is the release date, meaning that at some point tomorrow - most likely 7pm, for now check out the full presentation.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Kazuya’s main attacks are similar to his fighting moves in Tekken, but to give him the midair jumps, smash attacks and special moves that the Super Smash Bros. series is known for, his Devil’s Power is put to use. In later games in the Tekken series, Kazuya can transform into a powerful winged demon. Players will notice Kazuya activating this Devil’s Power for various jumps, smash attacks and special moves in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The new stage that players will receive in Challenger Pack 10, Mishima Dojo, is the dojo of the Mishima family – specifically Kazuya’s father Heihachi. The dojo is closed off in all directions, but its walls and ceiling can be broken with strong attacks, turning the stage into dangerous terrain. With no floating platforms, the Mishima Dojo stage is more grounded than many other stages in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, requiring new strategies when battling on it.
In addition to Kazuya coming over from Tekken, 39 tracks will also be showing up from across the series history.
As with all fighter additions, Mii Fighters get the chance to dress up some more and this time is no different, with three new sword outfits and one brawler. The newest outfits allow for you to look like Shantae, Lloyd Irving, Dante and Dragonborn, with Shantae also coming with a music track.
Finally, we got confirmation that amiibo are coming for the second fighter pass, something that wasn’t a sure thing until we got our first look at the Min-Min amiibo, check it out below. The only downside, or upside depending on your point of view is that the release won’t happen until sometime in 2022.
