Kazuya Mishima - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Moveset


You may have seen that Tekken's Kazuya Mishima is the latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC character. Marking the 10th member of the Fighters Pass, he joins a long line-up of all-stars, including Persona's Joker, Dragon Quest's Hero, Banjo-Kazooie, Terry Bogard, Byleth, Min Min, Minecraft Steve, Sephiroth and Pyra and Mythra.

We got a presentation yesterday which gave us a closer look at his new moveset, alongside confirmation of his release date. If you're looking to see how Kirby copies his abilities, we've got you covered right here, but for everyone else, here's what you need to know about Kazuya's moves.
