Alright, so I spent the whole day diving deep into Tekken 7, specifically trying to master Kazuya. That dude’s got some wicked moves, but man, it’s a lot to take in. I started off just mashing buttons, you know, the usual noob stuff. Didn’t get me very far, obviously.
Then I thought, “Okay, let’s get serious.” I started digging around for Kazuya’s move list. Found a ton of resources online, some good, some not so much. Ended up compiling my own list, focusing on the moves that felt right for my playstyle. I love to make my own list.
First thing I worked on was the basic combos. Getting those down was a pain. Timing is everything in Tekken, and my fingers were just not cooperating. But I kept at it, practicing the same combos over and over again. My hands were practically screaming at me by the end of it, but I started to see some progress. I even did some research about the full story and background of Tekken and I knew that Devil Kazuya is the final boss of Tekken 2’s Arcade Mode. It was cool.
Movelist
- Electric Wind God Fist – This one’s a classic. Tricky to execute, but devastating when it lands. Spent a good chunk of time just trying to get the input right. Felt amazing when I finally nailed it consistently.
- Demon’s Wrath – A solid combo starter. I practiced linking this into other moves, creating my own little sequences. It’s like building with LEGOs, but way more intense. I watched some showcase videos online to get some inspiration, too.
- Hell Lancer – This one’s great for punishing whiffs. I’d bait my opponent into throwing out a move, then BAM! Hit them with the Hell Lancer. Felt so satisfying every time.
After getting comfortable with the moves, I hopped online. Oh boy, that was a whole different beast. Got my butt kicked a lot, but I learned something new with each match. Some folks even used mods that totally change the look of the characters – saw one guy playing as 2B from NieR: Automata, which was pretty wild. It seemed like that they made a deal for there to be some characters as guests in both Tekken 7 and Soulcalibur VI. I wondered if I could do that too.
Anyways, I kept grinding, kept practicing, and slowly but surely, I started winning more. It’s a long road to mastering Kazuya, but I’m enjoying the journey. Every small victory feels earned, you know? And that’s what makes it all worth it. I realized that Tekken is a 3D fighting game first released in 1994. I’m gonna keep playing and maybe one day, I’ll be a Kazuya pro. Until then, back to the lab!
