If you like playing Kazuya, and you like the challenge that he presents wrt execution and gameplay, then that's what you should do. In the end, the best thing to do is play whichever character you like. Kazuya has the overall best collection of punishers in the game, and while some of his combos can be a bit more difficult, they're also very versatile and deal good damage.

And playing on Kazuya won't transfer over to other characters well, because Kazuya lacks most of the generics tools (df1, df2, hopkick), which means he has to play in a different way.īut Kazuya rewards matchup knowledge and combo practicing like no other character. Kazuya's poking is non-existent, which means he has to either play defensive or rely on the above mixup.īecause of these factors, a beginner Kazuya player will typically either resort to doing hellsweeps and trying to throw out electrics (failing a lot), or just eating a ton of losses while they try to punish things. Kazuya has a mixup that centers around wavedash, which can be demanding for a beginner. This also means he doesn't have a hopkick.
