That pissed me off. Like they said they buffed him because they noticed he isnt that great. But i doubt they were paying him correctry in the first pace.

@@CAsnowman hes only really good if you can combo with him cuz characters like sephiroth with insane reach or ones like sonic that are fast can easily take him out if you cant combo

@@powerpacplayer256 Honestly, I'd just have Richter be a Simon alt and put Tails in his place so Shantae can be the last DLC. Richter has no reason to be a separate fighter from Simon. Even Dark Samus has more reason to exist as a separate fighter from normal Power Suit Samus.
Yeah he'll come out tomorrow and everyone will go, "oh he's kinda slow". "Oh if you block the laser he's helpless" etc. A few will really learn his kit and will be actually really good, but they'll just get accused of cheating. I don't think it'll be a Smash 4 Bayonetta situation.
also his moves don't have hit-stun and some of them seem punishable on hit a lower percent's EDIT: Seems I wasn't paying attention and he has hit stun but not hitstop
I feel like that’s going to be the case too. He’s shoto K.Rool, a bag full of gimmicks where once everyone finds out how to counter it the gimmicks become niche and not viable. Now, can he still kill you if you stay too close or don’t react to his approaches? Yeah… Overall though he is a full on bruiser that needs to be countered with zoning and spacing.
Dude looks like he might struggle a bit with killing which is probably why they made him faster to rack up damage and gave him so much invincibility + super armor. I think he’ll be good, but not S tier good. He’d get demolished by swordies and characters that use the air a lot. None of his aerials could kill unless you get lucky with the nair, and his reliable kill moves only seem to be two tilts, tipper fsmash, up b and grabs. Good luck trying to get kills/kill confirms against a Lucina or anyone who can reach further than his punch. But honestly, he still looks pretty good and mad fun to watch. I can’t be assuming much since his moveset is so diverse and if someone would be willing to lab him all the way out, he could definitely have a chance to beat some of the best.
@@willblackburn2394 I don't. He doesn't have enough range besides his neutral b which is very slow and you can easily dodge by ducking, jumping, or shielding. He's also just slow in general so fast characters can choke him out but I guess we won't know until he comes out
@@wolfdragox5563 have you not seen my recoveries bruh ive already taken that into account. gimping and edge guarding is easier said than done and mac still has mixups
Not really, he's lacking of a lot of things, like no disjoint, no real counter, only one projectile (and not a really complex one), no weird mechanics like steve or olimar, and 99% of his move's are short distance (like almost no mid to long distance)
His ground move is good. But his air moves are not. Ive been playing tekken for years, and tekken has never been about midair combos. Im curious how the smash community will play him.

@@Totasfunnynumberway too OP Ex: just every Dedede player switches between all the different kinds of gordos and it is impossible to tell which gordo move it is and you get destroyed
He has Corrins recovery, Robs beam, Bayos down air, Little Mac´s super armor, Bowsers Cheese, Terry's nair, Ganondorfs warlock punch as his F-Smash, MinMins counter, Steve's first jump, Falcos second jump, more spikes/meteors than DK, better shieldbreaker than Marth's and Lucina's "SHIELDBREAKER", Inklings dash dance, ...
When kazuya was released everyone thought he would be absolutely broken. Then those people tried playing him, and came to the conclusion that they were absolutely correct.
nah this time hes got a point, a recovery with a strong hit box and can go the distance, combos you cant even block, mf broke a full shield on one attack, auto turn around so his confirms will be BRAIN DEAD EASY, his damage values are pretty high, tough guy, Hyper armor on smashes, a fast and long reaching projectile that can be angled, side B stuns for a confirm and can be used for recovery without sacrificing up B, BOOSTED RAGE with a K.O punch thats also a command grab and a suicide grab, and thats not even half his kit. You cant help but think this is a little TOO much for one character to have.
@@squishy.mp4 tbh ik he's not out yet but every release we seen I said the same thing, wait till he's out to pass judgment, but kazu is a different story after seeing this lol I see no way how thus won't be a dominant top tier
Any higher level of complication is better for a well practiced player maining him; It just means your opponent not playing him has to know all the options/interactions....which are a ton it looks like. (E.g, retreating f-tilt, and super armor)
smash bros is the best example of power creep I can find. a newer character in the franchise simply does more things than a character designed in the 1990s and 2000s on average. Kazuya vs Mario for example: Kazuya's side B alone is a combo starter, kill confirm, recovery move, and a burst option. Mario's is a reflector and nothing more. Mario can only do what Kazuya's SIDE B does with 6 of his moves. I feel like the reason for this power creep is partly the want to sell a character to as many people as possible, and the best way to sell to the competitive side of Smash Bros' fan base would be to make the character top tier. But also Sakurai is leaning harder and harder with every character he makes towards accurate franchise representation, so every new character needs to have as many elements from their home game represented in their kit as possible. none of this is inherently a bad thing, in fact we got some genuinely good fighters out of Ultimate's DLC, Kazuya included. However the downside to this new method of design Smash seems to be leaning towards is that it makes some character's kits feel a little bloated and all over the place, Kazuya included... again.
"HBox says fighters pass 3" This is legit if little Mac decided to merge with dlc bayo and then they decided you know what let's also give him a comeback effect. But wait that's not all... He can randomly become a demon. I wish everyone luck 😂
@@tomb8073 it's devil fist, low back tilt (the little kick), into devil fist, into low tilt, I tested it, and it didn't loop unless the opponent tries standard get up, or getup attack. Still though, it forces rolls unless your opponent wants to die quick, making reads stupid easy.
@Trev3DGaming His attacks are more effective on the ground the double jump will just help him recover everyone says broken when a dlc comes out but weeks later the hype ends so just give it time
This is gonna be a really fun character to try and learn the combos of. I know that in the past we've seen "OP" characters (steve) turn out to be underwhelming, so I hope he isn't BROKEN broken, but at the same time I'm definitely gonna enjoy thrashing my friends with this guy once he's out. Also Hbox says fighter pass 3
I actually GAINED health seeing them turned into miis, rather than being actual fighters. Dante and Shantae fans were almost up there with Waluigi fans
@@Vyhox2000 Yeah don't get me wrong I am STOKED to see them in Smash I'm so happy they're in, but I really wanted them as stand-alone fighters. I'll still take it.
Shantae does have a moveset but the potential is not in just having a moveset it's in interest and gimmick. What would be Shantae's mechanic and play style and does wayforward, Sakurai, and Nintendo care about making it happen? I'm going to assume that 2 out of those pre-requisites haven't been met.
I feel for anyone who wanted Dante, that must really suck. I know what it's like, my boy Shadow got deconfirmed and I'm still upset about that to this day
It all depends on his movement options, imo. It could be like an Incineroar situation-great move set but poor mobility. If he can be outmaneuvered, he can be easily beat… Unfortunately, he has a spammable projectile, so he can comfortably sit in range while being zoned.

@@needamap1390 my salt about it is shitty 😔
Shantae and dante share name rhymes and mii deconfirms
@@ragnazero1971 Add in vergil and make him as busted as he was in UMvC3 and dont even bother nerfing him or anything lol, let his bustedness shine
Bruh you say every character is OP
its all about the clickbait lol
Everyone says the same thing about every new character but legit I think it’s true this time
@@Flip-a-dip-dip nah, his range, speed, and air game is garbage
Every character that is buyable is op dude pay to win
That’s what I’m saying
When kazuya was released everyone thought he would be absolutely broken. Then those people tried playing him, and came to the conclusion that they were absolutely correct.
Sephiroth: I shall give Smash despair.
Kazuya: hold my beer.
Sakurai: Hold my mii costumes
All of the jojo fans freaking out because there is a move called “heavens door”
Me
Plus he has star platinum's gloves and a dio pallette like alt
@@vortexdust8815 YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GETTING YOUR DANTE AND SHANTAE BUT IT WAS ME KAZUYA!
The gold skin looks like dio to me
@@TheCrAzYfox2332 Ngtl I was popping off hard too
This man has 11 tilt attacks. ELEVEN TILT ATTACKS! 12 if you count Demon God Fist.
"Hbox says fighters pass 3"
Ah yes. The character that will be crazy satisfying to watch good players play, but a nightmare to play against. Fun.
Hbox calling every dlc character op before the character is even released - part 10
he’s got a point this time
nah this time hes got a point, a recovery with a strong hit box and can go the distance, combos you cant even block, mf broke a full shield on one attack, auto turn around so his confirms will be BRAIN DEAD EASY, his damage values are pretty high, tough guy, Hyper armor on smashes, a fast and long reaching projectile that can be angled, side B stuns for a confirm and can be used for recovery without sacrificing up B, BOOSTED RAGE with a K.O punch thats also a command grab and a suicide grab, and thats not even half his kit. You cant help but think this is a little TOO much for one character to have.
@@joetatos8687 i would wait for the character to actually come out.
@@squishy.mp4 tbh ik he's not out yet but every release we seen I said the same thing, wait till he's out to pass judgment, but kazu is a different story after seeing this lol I see no way how thus won't be a dominant top tier
kazuya : his legs is invincible.
me : cries in mewtwo.
the balance: he’s relatively complicated
Not really pretty easy to understand if you’ve ever played tekken. These are a million times easier to do than the actual combos in tekken
Well it seemed like half of his stuff was just spam A so...
Boy if you think this is complicated you’ve never played normal fighting game
@@rickyspanish2833 deadass tho they made Kazuya into an Anime arena fighter now that he can just straight up AAAAAA
Any higher level of complication is better for a well practiced player maining him; It just means your opponent not playing him has to know all the options/interactions....which are a ton it looks like. (E.g, retreating f-tilt, and super armor)
"hbox says fighters pass 3"
kazuya is the new bayonetta
This guy is an unholy combo of Little Mac, Sheik, and Bowser, and I am terrified
Never has someone said "it's good at comboing" so many times in 30 minutes
Hungrybox: Please have a bad recovery.
me, in my head: Oh, you poor soul…
smash bros is the best example of power creep I can find. a newer character in the franchise simply does more things than a character designed in the 1990s and 2000s on average. Kazuya vs Mario for example: Kazuya's side B alone is a combo starter, kill confirm, recovery move, and a burst option. Mario's is a reflector and nothing more. Mario can only do what Kazuya's SIDE B does with 6 of his moves.
I feel like the reason for this power creep is partly the want to sell a character to as many people as possible, and the best way to sell to the competitive side of Smash Bros' fan base would be to make the character top tier. But also Sakurai is leaning harder and harder with every character he makes towards accurate franchise representation, so every new character needs to have as many elements from their home game represented in their kit as possible.
none of this is inherently a bad thing, in fact we got some genuinely good fighters out of Ultimate's DLC, Kazuya included. However the downside to this new method of design Smash seems to be leaning towards is that it makes some character's kits feel a little bloated and all over the place, Kazuya included... again.
Mario and other definitely needs to be updated. Stills tuck with trash slow ass neutral B.
“Hbox say fighters pass 3”
Tekken 7 is basically father and son trying to cancel each other.
"HBox says fighters pass 3"
This is legit if little Mac decided to merge with dlc bayo and then they decided you know what let's also give him a comeback effect. But wait that's not all... He can randomly become a demon. I wish everyone luck 😂
After testing against the level 9 cpu, I am 90% sure he has a potential loop with devil fist.
@@vla1ne guess we need to add that to the list 😂
@@tomb8073 it's devil fist, low back tilt (the little kick), into devil fist, into low tilt, I tested it, and it didn't loop unless the opponent tries standard get up, or getup attack.
Still though, it forces rolls unless your opponent wants to die quick, making reads stupid easy.
@@vla1ne that's actually ridiculously good 😂 thanks for sharing that though mate :)
"HBOX SAYS FIGHTERS PASS 3"
Smash online is about to become a nightmare.
“Hbox says fighters pass 3”
Idk if I’m more hyped or terrified
H box: oh so here are the command inputs
Applebee's: how about a 15 second ad
“Hbox say fighters pass 3”
This character honestly terrifies me
He has Ganon's Side-A, or as I call it, "THE BOOT"
The BOOT
Nice.
Me: Nothing can be more op and than Pyra and Mythra
Kazuya:
He looks like Little Mac's power, with shieks combo ability 😭
And Bowser's frame data
@@mc3941 yeah like wtf
Plus he's a ShOtO
@@williampittman2432 MISHIMA! He’s a Mishima. Know your fighting game terms!
@@makotoyuki345 You're being baited bro
Sonic and Pacman : ez online.
Kazuya : hello there.
Real talk I feel like Pac-Man and Kazuya would be bros because Namco lol
"Hbox says fighters pass 3"
My poor boy Dante is lost to the Mii fighters 😭
We might get vergil keep ya head up
@@shadowdarkria no is unacceptable. I want to see Dante fuck with a bike in smash
“Hbox says Fighter Pass 3” Kazuya is just busted as a whole
"Hbox says Fighters pass 3"
Omg hero has tooany moves
Kazuya: hold my sake
"Hbox says fighters pass 3"
Can't wait to see Kazuya dominating offline tournaments...
If he gets a reflect, every character should get one. No bias
Tbh I think everyone should get those sweet zoom-ins for the throws
says the fool with the inanimate sensation pfp lol
@@normanselva6397 It's a camera mod. Unless I'm wrong.
@Trev3DGaming His attacks are more effective on the ground the double jump will just help him recover everyone says broken when a dlc comes out but weeks later the hype ends so just give it time
@@bruhm0ment6000 surely theres a mod for that, but I meant everyone should get it in the vanilla version
I didn't know Sakurai literally added God into the game as a character
when the heavens door move was mentioned, my eyes drifted to the chat to see...
JoJo
This is gonna be a really fun character to try and learn the combos of. I know that in the past we've seen "OP" characters (steve) turn out to be underwhelming, so I hope he isn't BROKEN broken, but at the same time I'm definitely gonna enjoy thrashing my friends with this guy once he's out.
Also Hbox says fighter pass 3
Was literally hurt by Lloyd, Dante, and Shantae, especially Shantae.
@Chocolate Chips You clearly don't play Shantae.
@Chocolate Chips Shantae uses magic, dances, and weapons, like a pistol, sword, and pirate hat glider.
I actually GAINED health seeing them turned into miis, rather than being actual fighters. Dante and Shantae fans were almost up there with Waluigi fans
@@Vyhox2000 Yeah don't get me wrong I am STOKED to see them in Smash I'm so happy they're in, but I really wanted them as stand-alone fighters. I'll still take it.
Shantae does have a moveset but the potential is not in just having a moveset it's in interest and gimmick.
What would be Shantae's mechanic and play style and does wayforward, Sakurai, and Nintendo care about making it happen?
I'm going to assume that 2 out of those pre-requisites haven't been met.
They implemented all of his moves really well, its so beautiful hahaha
And now the beam officially will annoy tekken players, street fighter players and smash players hahaha
“Hbox says fighters pass 3”
The look on his face when the electric wind punch came out tho lmao
People: DLC needs to be better, the only good DLC was Joker.
Kazuma: I got you.
Edit: I am basing this off of ZeRo's tier list.
Nobody has ever said that who knew what they were talking about
Every DLC has been at least high tier except byleth and maybe banjo
Steve & Terry were OP as well. It ain’t just joker
@Drago Slayer like 90% pro smash players would always rate joker S tier with pikachu. How is that not OP?🙄
@Drago Slayer He's top 3 easily lol (joker)
@@ReydelSans I wouldn't call Steve or Terry "op". Solid high tiers, but they both struggle with range.
Everyone here talking about Kazuya when they did my boy Dante dirty like that.
I got hurt more by shantae but yeah RIP both
I feel for anyone who wanted Dante, that must really suck. I know what it's like, my boy Shadow got deconfirmed and I'm still upset about that to this day
They didn’t even say the name of his series lol
@@razor8304 That was just a slap in the face
"HBox says Fighters Pass 3"
This character actually scares me. Can't wait to try out the combo game, though
I think he seems to be good, but it's too soon to say if he's broken or not.
He'll be a nightmare in some match-ups and get destroyed in others
Beam!
A tier minimum! Could be S. It's early, but that's my predictions.
It all depends on his movement options, imo. It could be like an Incineroar situation-great move set but poor mobility. If he can be outmaneuvered, he can be easily beat… Unfortunately, he has a spammable projectile, so he can comfortably sit in range while being zoned.
@@AlfredEiji the crouch dash also helps him deal with people like samus and depending on the angle of the attack even min min
