Kazuya In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Past Super Smash Bros. Ultimate additions, most recently Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII and Pyra and Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, have brought unique their unique fighting styles from their original franchises to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate arena. New characters also bring new fighting stages and music representative of their core game. With Kazuya’s addition, there is one spot left in the DLC roster. Pending Mr. Sakurai Presents, here’s everything we know about what Kazuya will bring to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Fans got a glimpse of the fighting style Kazuya will use in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. His basic moves clearly incorporate powerful hand-to-hand combat. It also looks like Kazuya will be able to charge power by landing blows on foes, each win adding a purple charge to his body. This will allow him to transform into a demon-like version of himself, black wings, horns, and all. While in this form, Kazuya can shoot purple beams of power at his enemies, raising them in the air and shocking them with an electric-like jolt.
