We talked a fighting game that was a DLC character yesterday, lets do another. I wanna talk Tekken. I know Kazuya is, kinda sorta a controversial character to begin with, so adding more of him would make people, probably a little upset. But, it is a franchise already represented in Smash so we gotta talk about it. Tekken and I have a history, its my first non Smash fighting game I ever played. So i have a soft spot for the tekken series. I was happy to see a Tekken Character, just, i somehow have only played the Tekken games Kazuya wasn’t in, so I didn’t know him. I would’ve expected Jin Kazama. That being said.
As a fighting game franchise, there isn’t a short list of characters to potentially add. Just looking at the list of Tekken characters is mind boggling. So there’s that. This on top of so many cool fighting styles and such. And yet. The only characters people want in, are the Mishimas. I get it, they’re the characters the story is about, the main story is about them. But man, I don’t want another Mishima in the game. A Mishima adjacent character is Alisa, and she’d be fun and my wife would love her and she has amazing potential for a move set. And yet… i’m stupid. I’m biased. I have a favorite. He’s not relevant to the story at all, in fact he somehow has his own over arching story. He’s the one, the only,
Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! Look, I love this character. This character alone made me love Tekken 3. King has and always will be my favorite Tekken character. I love this awesome wrestler man who somehow speaks in jaguar noises and gets understood. I know people are already saying, “wouldn’t this just be Incineroar?” But, uh, Incineroar first of all, is a heel, King is a face. Also Incineroar is a Pokémon, King is a man. So, let’s begin.
So first of all, obviously he’d have a Kazuya like move set but for the sake of time, I will only be discussing special moves.
For his Neutral B he will perform a roar that if it hits causes a pop up to allow follow ups
For his Up B he will suddenly summon ropes to jump off of. He will perform a body splash on the way down. He will do a wrestler taunt before jumping
For his side B he will perform a dashing grab, if it hits doing an input after decide what he does. Up causes a pile driver, down causes a body slam, forward will produce a lariat, back will be a suplex.
For his down B he will do a special taunt that is actually secretly a grab counter. If you hit him while he is doing this taunt he will instead dodge it and grab you to punish you.
As you can see, I kinda wanted to make him being a wrestler his whole gimmick. I hope that comes across as fun and interesting. I love king and I’d love to play him in smash.

Master Hand: why on earth did you two get kicked out of the movies?
Kazuya: we were yelling diving scores during Titanic as people jumped off the boat
Sephiroth: the last one was so lazy, he got a four at best
Master Hand: you’re both terrible people
