Kazuya Rework™️

[WuBoytH]

This is a series of INCREDIBLY EXPERIMENTAL CHANGES that I have been testing for a long time in my own personal project, The WuBor Patch.

Please note that not everything is documented. Most of Kazuya's codebase was reverted to vanilla before working on this PR. I will be working on updating and completing the changelog soon.

Any criticism or suggestions are welcome!

Update History

1/7/26

• Rage Mechanic reworked.
• Reduced (E)WGF startup from 11 to 8.
• Roundhouse to Triple Spin Kicks now travels less distance to prevent the opponent from easily falling behind him.

Changelog

Inputs shown will use Tekken input notation, for funsies. For example:
Electric Wind God Fist (➡️⭐⬇️↘️+🅰️)

Also, due to the extensiveness of this rework, the listed changes may not list a comparison to the previous version of Kazuya at all.

Common

Back Dash (Ryu / Ken / Terry / Kazuya)

• You can now perform a dash grab or dash attack in the direction of your back dash.

Kazuya

Autoturn

• Kazuya no longer turns around automatically to face the opponent.
  • Kazuya can still back dash and walk backwards.
  • Note: This required me to rewrite some common autoturn-related code. If anything breaks for Ryu/Ken/Terry, please let me know.

Jostle

• All instances of JostleModule::set_team in Kazuya's kit are removed (for now) and will be reintroduced as needed.

Intangibility

• Most if not all of Kazuya's attacks lost their full-body intangibility except:
  • Tombstone Crusher
  • Dragon Uppercut

Rage

• Rage now always goes away when:
  • Taking 50%.
  • Whiffing a Rage Drive.
• Normal Grabs no longer trigger Rage Drive.

Normals

All of Kazuya's Angled Tilts have been moved to different inputs.

Left Splits Kick: ➡️⭐➡️🅰️ > Dash Attack. No longer reflects.

Flash Tornado: ⬅️🅰️ > ↗️🅰️ (Up Angled Forward Tilt)
Stature Smash: ↙️🅰️ > ↘️🅰️ (Down Angled Forward Tilt)
Tsunami Kick: ↘️🅰️ > ➡️⭐➡️🅰️
Roundhouse to Triple Spin Kick: ↗️🅰️ > During Nejiri Uraken Cancel ↗️🅰️
Jumping Side Kick: ↖️🅰️ > During Nejiri Uraken Cancel ↖️🅰️
Crouching Spin Kick: While Crouching ↙️🅰️ > During Nejiri Uraken Cancel ↙️🅰️
Tombstone Crusher: While Crouching ↘️🅰️ > During Nejiri Uraken Cancel ↘️🅰️

Jab 1

~ (*) Adjusted angle (80 > 70).
~ (*) Adjusted BKB (25 > 40).

Jab 2

~ Adjusted angle (75 > 70).
~ Adjusted BKB (25 > 35).

Oni Front Kick - Forward Tilt

+ Can now be turned around by tilting backwards.

In addition, as mentioned above, Flash Tornado and Stature Smash are now angled tilts.

Twin Pistons - Up Tilt

+ Can now be turned around by tilting backwards.

Nejiri Uraken - Down Tilt

+ Can now be turned around by tilting backwards.
+ Startup decreased (16 > 12).
+ Cancel startup decreased (13 > 9).
- Nejiri Uraken no longer has intangibility.
+ Nejiri Uraken Cancel now has intangiblity frames 1 - 9.
+ Performing an Angled Tilt from Nejiri Uraken Cancel carries over the remaining intangibility.

As mentioned above, certain moves are now performed by using an angled tilt during Nejiri Uraken Cancel.

Roundhouse to Triple Spin Kicks

- Triple Spin Kicks now travel 0.7x the distance, helping prevent the opponent from falling *behind* Kazuya during the move.

Tsunami Kick

+ Tsunami Kick 1's angle was adjusted to hopefully connect more consistently into Tsunami Kick 2.
+ Tsunami Kick 2 has less FAF (43 > 38).

Aerials

Down Aerial

- Landing Lag increased (22 > 30).

Smash Attacks

Lion Slayer - Down Smash

This attack does have adjusted data, but I didn't actually document any of it. Sorry!
