Kazuya Coach Wanted

[lethal zinc]

Who are you requesting? @ionic jay "Kazuya" coach/"Offense" coach)

What is your time zone? Central Standard Time

What specifically do you need help with? I struggle to even get hits in with Kazuya but so far I learned his best tools in neutral are fair, ewgf, grab, and down b. I'm a Ness main so playing a character that has a wayyyy different move set is kind of tough for me to figure out. I can do Kazuya's combos and tech, I just struggle to get hits in. And if possible, I would like to learn stuff like how to land better when getting juggled which is something I really struggle with.

When are you typically available? I work everyday 4 to 10 except I'm off Wednesdays and Thursdays

How long have you been playing the game for? I have over 1000 hours maining Ness

Can I VC? (optional) Yes

btw I do main Kazuya in Tekken 8 lol

almost 1000 hours in Tekken 8

btw if possible, I would like to stream my game while I do quickmatch or something and get live coaching on what I'm doing wrong and what I'm doing right

but do some one on ones too

[ionic jay]

Oh, that's perfect😭

So no need to go over ewgf I assume?

[lethal zinc]

no lol

[ionic jay]

All fine

Uhhh

Lemme look up CST, I suck with timezones😭

Okay, this should be fine

I can get on at about 1pm for you tomorrow?

[lethal zinc]

that should work

I gotta take my friend to work at 1 but I'll be back pretty quick

[ionic jay]

That's all fine

[naive juniper]

Lmk whenever you need help I’m Ava aswell

[lethal zinc]

you still available?

[ionic jay]

I can get on in about 20 mins?

[lethal zinc]

okay but I won't be able to be on long

[ionic jay]

You good now?

[lethal zinc]

yes

[ionic jay]

Can you host?

[lethal zinc]

yes gimme one sec

2BKF9/1000

[ionic jay]

Omw now

[lethal zinc]

don't mind my switch name

[ionic jay]

Fire name iwl

Alright, I'm in a cast rn, so I'll be playing REALLY ass

[lethal zinc]

you're europe right?

[ionic jay]

Indeed

Run a normal game to see how you're set

[lethal zinc]

so there might be some input delay lol but its whatever

[ionic jay]

Yeah, just unfort

Okay, you have the inputs down to a tee

I'm gonna play a game as Min Min, because I'm noticing where you're struggling, and I wanna see if you can notice it yourself

[lethal zinc]

okay

[ionic jay]

It's a bad MU for you, yeah, but what are you noticing?

[lethal zinc]

I don't know how to approach really

and I get caught on my landing easily

[ionic jay]

Main thing

[ionic jay]

We can cover this next

[ionic jay]

Kazuya has really nice approaching tools, since you can abuse cdc to bait out my options

If I notice you under me, as Min Min, I'm gonna wanna go for falling nair, but you could do something like cdc > dash back to position yourself for a free 0td

[lethal zinc]

makes sense

[ionic jay]

Does it really

[lethal zinc]

yes

[ionic jay]

I could break it down more if you need me to

[lethal zinc]

I really need to get more used to the wavedash motion on my controller

[ionic jay]

Totally makes sense

You'll be flying it though

[lethal zinc]

idk why I miss techs so much just on the floor

I can tech everything else

[ionic jay]

Your movement is really good, but when I approach from the air, it looks like your brain turns off, like you don't know how to deal with me

[ionic jay]

We can blame input delay iyw😭

[lethal zinc]

I miss it offline too

I must just have the timing wrong

[ionic jay]

Landings time!

Okay, that was nice

But I caught you with dash attack like, 5 times in a row because of your airdodges

[lethal zinc]

yeah I just don't know how to land

[ionic jay]

You did a lot better towards the end with mixing up your options with fair and airdodge

You could always inpliment down b into that if you wanted to too

Since it's a nice stall

Just don't use dair

Also, if you're getting juggled a lot, don't be afraid to retreat to ledge

[lethal zinc]

I play kazuya in actual tekken with arcade stick lol on here I use pro controller so movement is way different

[ionic jay]

I get you, don't worry

I play Tekken too, and the movement feels really different from Smash

[lethal zinc]

idk if you can tell but I'm not really going for the combos lol

idk if I can do it in the input delay

[naive juniper]

I do the same

[naive juniper]

against min min you can approach with the frame 1 shield dash cdc her down tilt kinda low profiles your ewgf so try to make sure you catch her on it

[lethal zinc]

I forget you can't demon god fist into electric corrin

[ionic jay]

You have really nice follow ups

[ionic jay]

Yeah

You know the other route, yeah?

[lethal zinc]

you can df tilt into electric right?

demon god fist, df tilt, electric

[naive juniper]

Yes

[ionic jay]

Yep

[naive juniper]

Yes and no

They can sdi out of tsunami

[lethal zinc]

those buffered air dodges and up bs

[ionic jay]

If you're ever umsure of your combos, you can always use 'kazuyamishima.com'

[lethal zinc]

is that real lol

[ionic jay]

It sucks, sadly

[naive juniper]

yes

[ionic jay]

I shit you not

I was just as shocked when I figured it out

[naive juniper]

How its been out for so long

[lethal zinc]

a whole website dedicated to smash kazuya wow

[ionic jay]

Had no clue that was a real web name😭

[ionic jay]

I just thought the name was funny

[naive juniper]

I will say alot of the stuff on there has not been updated so some stuff has bee debunked

[ionic jay]

Knowing Kaz mains, I would've expected them to call it 'devils dojo' or something like that

[lethal zinc]

one sec

important phone call

[ionic jay]

Oop

Nws

[naive juniper]

@lethal zinc Whenever you want games or learn more for kaz lmk

[lethal zinc]

will do

[naive juniper]

Alr any matchup you need literally ill explan and be straight forward and go in depth but ill make it not boring lol cause i don't like boring stuff

[lethal zinc]

sorry it's my specialty pharmazy calling

last second

the phone call kinda messed me up lol

[ionic jay]

We can do that again

[lethal zinc]

okay I can do like one more after this

[ionic jay]

I'm just tryna see what you do when I mash on you

Alright

You're a good player

A really good player

It's mostly just your combos I think

And your neutral could use more electric

[lethal zinc]

I realized ewgf while you're grounded doesn't work lol

[ionic jay]

Yeah, Gren's short asf💔

[naive juniper]

Hitbox shift chars

[lethal zinc]

so close lol

[ionic jay]

Yeah

I can't input for shit in the cast😭

[naive juniper]

Play on a joycon be like me

[lethal zinc]

ah hale naw

[naive juniper]

Easier lowk that’s how o play whenever im hurt or sick

[naive juniper]

Bro I beat him with a single 🫩

The whole kazuya blood line know how to

[lethal zinc]

@ionic jay aight mang I gotta get ready for work

[ionic jay]

My controller wasn't even working that day😔

[lethal zinc]

thank you for your time

[naive juniper]

You had joycons you said

[ionic jay]

Right, good games!

[lethal zinc]

ggs

[ionic jay]

Joy cons, controller, same thing

Usually it's just my left one that acts up, but for some reason, for like, a week after those games, my left one was going ballistic too

[lethal zinc]

a lot of how I practiced kazuya tech and combos is with the training modpack

[naive juniper]

Just go single

[ionic jay]

One small tip is to approach more

[naive juniper]

Kkk

[lethal zinc]

but I don't have a modded switch so ryujinx

[naive juniper]

You got yuzu then?

Even better😁

[naive juniper]

Kinda how I learned mine aswell

Di mix up and all

If you set the di to in and out get better at going for long combos

[ionic jay]

A lot of the time, you kinda just did a single crouch dash across the stage, and didn't follow up

[naive juniper]

And set to to plays for ferps

[ionic jay]

Kazuya is MEANT to make your opponent feel scared

[naive juniper]

Who me?

Or him?

[ionic jay]

Cameroni

[naive juniper]

O nvm

Yeah kazuya need to look like this bro

[lethal zinc]

it's so much easier to do that kind of stuff with arcade stick

[ionic jay]

Box always exists

[naive juniper]

Box is more complex but easy

[lethal zinc]

but my arcade stick isn't nintendo compatible and I think nintendo banned non nintendo controllers from tournaments anyways

[naive juniper]

No they don’t

[ionic jay]

Nintendo don't do NOTHING

Any tournaments you see are hosted by normal players

[ionic jay]

Not that cashgrab

[naive juniper]

I you got a ps4 one

[lethal zinc]

I wanna get purple and blue push buttons

[naive juniper]

Lowk

You should get box

Already used to that so I could send you a pro box user if you ever consider the switch or I can teach you more with controller

[lethal zinc]

is it leverless or levered

[naive juniper]

No lever

[lethal zinc]

I never played leverless but I probably could

I played on keyboard before I got my arcade stick

I wonder if there's just a device like an adapter that would make mine compatible

[naive juniper]

Same concept lowk

[lethal zinc]

@naive juniperyou down to run some games after I get home from work

I get off at 10 pm cst
