Revenge is a dish best served on the stages of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. On 30^th June, the vengeful Kazuya Mishima from the Tekken fighting game series joins Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch as part of the Challenger Pack 10 DLC, which also includes a new stage and a selection of music tracks from the decades-spanning Tekken franchise.

In the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Battling with Kazuya (Nintendo Switch) video presentation hosted by Masahiro Sakurai, the Super Smash Bros. series director provided a deep dive into the new fighter’s move set, as well as a detailed look at the new Mishima Dojo stage.

Challenger Pack 10 is part of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Fighters Pass Vol. 2, which also includes Min Min from ARMS, Steve & Alex from Minecraft, Sephiroth from the FINAL FANTASY VII series, Pyra/Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and one yet-to-be-announced fighter that will release later this year. Challenger Pack 10 can also be purchased separately.

Debuting more than 25 years ago in the original Tekken, Kazuya Mishima is one of the most recognisable faces in the storied fighting game series. Kazuya moves from the arenas of Tekken, where players must understand the space between characters and focus on where to hit their opponents in a 3D plane, to the battlefields of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where players must attack their foes through 2D heights and distances. Because of this change in gameplay dimensions, Kazuya shows off a special skillset in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate when compared to his Tekken roots.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Kazuya’s main attacks are similar to his fighting moves in Tekken, but to give him the mid-air jumps, smash attacks and special moves that the Super Smash Bros. series is known for, his Devil’s Power is put to use. In later games in the Tekken series, Kazuya can transform into a powerful winged demon and players will notice Kazuya activating this Devil’s Power for various jumps, smash attacks and special moves in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

The new stage that players will receive in Challenger Pack 10, Mishima Dojo, is the dojo of the Mishima family – specifically Kazuya’s father Heihachi. The dojo is closed off on all sides, but its walls and ceiling can be broken with strong attacks, turning the stage into dangerous terrain. With no floating platforms, the Mishima Dojo stage is more grounded than many other stages in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, requiring new strategies when battling on it.

After downloading Challenger Pack 10, players will also receive 39 music tracks from the Tekken series, containing a mix of songs from earlier and more recent games in the franchise. Additionally, launching alongside Kazuya Mishima are new paid Mii Fighter costumes, including Shantae, Lloyd Irving, Dante and Dragonborn.

Mr. Sakurai also announced in the video presentation that a new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo is on its way. Min Min, the fighting noodle girl from ARMS, will be available for purchase at select retailers in 2022.
