Good point, I’ll post my next tournament vids up. Only stuff I have is like week 1 as of right now 
ohh shit! this is beautiful…but to be honest, hard to pull…i wont risk it or me. would rather even do a regular wave dash into ST/FP~ewgf combo series

Kazuya/Akuma synergy…
Ryu and Kazuya, a waste of 3 bars but looks cool 
I’ve got some great stuff in the works. 5x ewgf incorporated into combos etc…

Ex donkey kick wall bounce into ex srk into 4xewgf. 3 bars purely for style.
5x ewgf after ryu’s ex srk is possible but I can’t land it in combo’s consistently yet.

Some matches with Robot_Cop (Cyborg_Cop). Easily one of the best players I’ve faced so far. I got bodied but I got a list of things to work on. A little disappointed that I let so much damage drop; need to get more comfortable with my combos outside training mode. Hopefully, someone will see stuff to NOT do lol.
Chaos Limits…
Really enjoyed those matches. You have one of the better Kazuya’s I’ve watched in match play.
Ewgf’s are coming along nicely. Obviously it will take everyone a while to get comfortable enough to land the longer combo’s and to chose the correct ewgf sequence to maximize damage from a launcher,
from a switch cancel or from a cancelled normal move. try to avoid using the cross rush chains that begin with lk or lp. The dmg scaling is too severe. Practice hitting links into a manual launcher ex. Kazuya cr. mp, cr. hp, manual launcher (press hk and hp together)
I don’t know anything about Nina but I liked how you were using Kazuya’s standing Hp as a poke that could lead to extended ewgf combos. Try to apply more pressure in general. Remember you can cancel most of Kazuya’s normal moves into mist step into ewgf. Try lp, mp xx ewgf or lk, lp, mk xx ewgf for some up close, jab based pressure.
The main issue which REALLY stood** out** but is actually the easiest thing for you to implement is building meter by whiffing normals, specials and using charge attack to charge for counter hit or to dash out of it for meter gain (cadc)
Many times you were at full screen just walking around. stay busy, whiff hp with nina, spam ewgf from full screen distance. Everything builds meter. Experiment. Think 3rd strike yun spamming cr. mp for genei jin meter building
"Mr Naps is in the House playing SFXT @jimmytran @pr_balrog @fchampryan"
Have only watched a bit but if someone can do EWGF consistently it’s Mr Naps.
Is it weird that I don’t actually like the way Mr. Naps plays Kazuya…?
I mean his EWGF is great, but I feel like the character is a lot more dynamic than just spamming one move over and over and over and over again… I guess if it works sure, but I think I’ll stick to building EWGF combos off of my tekken chains – guess I lose damage but I enjoy it a lot more, myself. As long as I can do 400+ damage in a single combo I don’t think I lose much.
Observations:
- cr. Fierce xx EWGF doesn’t combo into cr.Fierce after ground bounce. You have to do cr. Forward or st.Fierce. I noticed that while working on my new BnB.
- If someone jab pressures you long enough that you can pick up on their rhythm, alpha counter the fuck out of them.
- Try these standing BnB’s:
— Twin Snake Statue Smash xx st.Fierce xx EX Slaughter Fist, cr.Fierce xx EWGF, [st.Fierce xx EWGF]x2 (380ish damage)
— Agony Spear xx Slaughter Fist, cr.Fierce xx EWGF, [st.Fierce xx EWGF]x2 (400ish damage)
TSSS and AS make for good hitconfirms, learning how to stroll into range for them is good great and allows you to avoid limiting your options by jumping in too often. On block TSSS can become Twin Snake Double Kick for Mid or you can cancel it into cr.Roundhouse for another low for a 50/50 mix up, it’s -too good- not to use, even though you potentially lose damage to scaling the range is good enough that you can lock a lot of characters down with it. - Mist Step, I’ve realized, is terrible unless you’re using it to anti something they’ve already committed themselves to.
I’ve been getting blown up for a while for over using it. I’ve been using Rising Sun LK over fireballs instead of jumping or Mist Stepping, too, because it gives you control again a lot faster.
Looks like your Nina’s kind on the weaker side? You don’t seem very confident with her – I can tell because you do what I do… being too defensive and getting bullied. I need a better anchor than Marduk because I seldom know what to do with him against a lot of kinds of pressure. Your Kazuya comes out swinging like the boss that he is, though, which is good. Unleash that thunder!
Thanks for taking the time to do this. My Nina was about 30 matches in so I was a little insecure about how to use her. I’ll work on your list; definitely has lots of good info. :tup:
You can mist step after the agony spear chain, or after the lp, mp part of the tsss.
So you can do lp,mp (left right combo), ewgf,ewgf,st.MP ewgf, st.HP ewgf, ewgf (412 damage. Plenty of time to hit confirm)
Also you can do these out of range, so with the agony spear, you can whiff the lk, lp, but still ewgf if the mp connects and you get more damage because the lk lp part whiffed so didn’t affect damage scaling.
This.
I like Slaughter Fist post Agony Spear for some reason, its just a preference though. Lets me relax a little and focus on my cr.Fierce xx EWGF, which I’m generally more comfortable with than raw EWGF for some reason (even though all of my training was raw EWGFs).
Twin works when whiffed as well, and since s.Fierce is safe you can actually wait to hit confirm off of the low hit on a block as well (first few times people tend to not expect the low).
Hey Secretryu, check something for me. I feel like any time st.Strong works you can use cr.Fierce as well. Have you tried that at all?

From Sunday. Feel free to pick it apart, I definitely was playing sloppy.
yea it works. You can do 2xewgf midscreen and follow up with cr.HP. It’s a strange link. I find it really hard so using st.MP is easier. Cancelling into ewgf from cr.HP feels fine, but when using it in combo’s after 2xewgf, the link is super tight. Not reliable for me at least.
Gah, man… those fucking announcers… They can’t get people who actually know the game? Or at least have some kind of personality…
Hard to comment on your Kazuya, you put in good work – you did mist step in some weird places, but we all have that issue it seems like. Not much I can say about it.
I’m not a Guile player, so I can’t comment on that either. That guy -really- didn’t know what he was doing with Ryu… A good Ryu can cause Kaz and Guile some serious damage.
What’s up with people and EX Slaughter Hook? Devastator is completely safe and costs no meter… seriously… Sure EX SH is safe, but burning meter on the off chance of a random ground bounce seems silly when you can space them out then come back in with Twin Snake, Agony Spear, or just about anything else to open someone up.
EDIT: We’re never going to get people more excited about this game with unenthusiastic announcers, btw.
Well thanks for looking anyways! To anyone that dislikes the announcers/commentators, what specficially is it that you don’t like? Did you like the quality of the vid? A few of my friends started there own streaming business and stuff and the input good or bad is greatly appreciated! PM me if you could so we don’t derail this thread.
And yeah, me and allen (ryu/kaz player) spoke for awhile about how to conduct defense with Kaz. I really think he was just playing sf4 now with more tekken characters for this set lol
Kaz is weird on defense – you kind of have to shift your thoughts about who you’re playing as. He could have been anti-airing with Dragon Uppercut and cr.Fierce, you were jumping in on him from the exact angle that both of those work best but he was relying too much on EX Slaughter Hook to be able to do it.
Kazuya wants space so he can go in on his own terms, not try and spin someone else’s table around. Devastator spaces people out quite well and is completely safe – it lets you reset the field and try to initiate your own advantage as opposed to getting locked down into negative frames from jab pressure, etc. There’s also EX Demon Fist for people who like to press buttons in your face.
All of the times he had you pinned, he could have been mixing up with Tekken chains – or just about anything else – but it seems like he was hell bent on pressing for the EX Slaughter Hook combo instead of going for something more productive. It never really paid off for him.
Half-ro were those EWGFs you were doing? I can’t tell lol.
Especially this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hoqMoruql7A#t=537s
Yeah for the most part, I was actually happy my ewgf practice has been paying off. I didn’t miss many in block strings at all. In your link, to answer your question, no I missed that one and get a regular wgf.
