Kazuya Mishima, of Tekken, is the latest fighter coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He's a fighter with high attack power that's great at making comebacks, even if he's losing at actually landing attacks. That said, he has limited reach, and lower attack speed than some other characters. Like Bowser, he has continuous super armor -- though not as much as the Mushroom Kingdom villain.
Normal attacks
Dash Attack - Leaping Sidekick: Kazuya rushes forward with a kick while dashing, allowing him to close in on distant opponents.
Neutral (10 Hit Combo): Kazuya cycles through multiple moves as you hold or repeatedly push A.
Flash Punch Combo: A+A, pause, A. Kazuya blasts opponents back when you leave a gap after your second neutral attack then push A again.
Left Splits Kick: Tilt Forward x2 +A. Kazuya kicks projectiles back at opponents.
Twin Pistons: Tilt Up + A x2. Kazuya launches enemies upwards with a punch and kick combo.
Roundhouse to Triple Spin Kicks: Tilt diagonally and press A four times to have Kazuya use Roundhouse to Triple Spin kicks.
Oni Front Kick: Forward Tilt + A to have Kazuya kick straight out and launch opponents at a low trajectory.
Tsunami Kick: Tilt Down Diagonal +A x2 to have Kazuya do two kicks, the second of which will launch the opponent if the first lands.
Nejiri Uraken: Tilt Down + A to have Kazuya attack while moving forward. This move grants a brief invincibility period.
Stature Smash: Tilt Backwards Diagonal +A to kick out and knock an opponent on their butt.
Flash Tornado: Back Tilt +A is a kick/punch combo that can be used as a counterattack.
Jump Side Kick: Tilt Up Diagonal +A to do a short jumping kick attack.
Smash Attacks
Forward Smash - Backspin Kick: Terry swings a lengthy inverted roundhouse kick at chest height, moving him forward.
Up Smash - Wild Upper: Terry crouches and performs a powerful uppercut punch.
Down Smash - Slide Kick: Terry lowers himself and kicks one foot forward at a medium height.
Crouch moves
These should all be done after you have properly crouched, not done a down move.
Tombstone Crusher: Tilt Forward Diagonal +A while crouching. Kazuya rolls into a kick from his crouch that can be used as a counter.
Crouch Jab: Down Tilt +A while crouching. Kazuya does short punches from his crouched position.
Crouch Spin Kick: Tilt Diagonally Backwards +A while crouching. Kazuya does a sweeping kick from his crouched position.
Demon God Fist: Crouch +A while standing up. This is a unique input. If you have Kazuya attack while standing from a crouch, he unleashes a glowing purple punch that can cause opponents to heavily flinch.
Crouch Dash: Forward + Down + Forward Diagonal. Kazuya dashes forward while crouched; his upper body becomes invincible.
Wind God Fist: Same as Crouch Dash but add A at the end. Launches enemies into the air with a gust of air accompanying the punch.
Dragon Uppercut: Forward + Down + Forward Diagonal + press and hold A. A powerful uppercut meant for KOs with lots of launching power.
Spinning Demon to Left Hook: Forward + Down + Forward Diagonal + B. Adds a left hook punch to a kick while crouch dashing.
