Kazuya (Rave)

Kazuya (カズヤ, Kazuya) is one of the main protagonists of the Tekken series and appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Rave.
He is voiced by Masanori Shinohara via reused voiced clips from Ultimate.
==Attributes==
Kazuya is a heavyweight with lackluster movement, although he makes it up by having a wide variety of grounded moves and command specials. He has armor against attacks with low knockback. He will always face his opponent during a one-on-one match or when there are only two players remaining in a match.
He has a fighter ability called Rage. If he reaches 100% in normal battles or 25% in stamina battles, then he becomes enveloped in a red aura while increasing his damage multiplier and grants him access to his Rage Drive. If he misses the Rage Drive or he keeps getting hit, then Rage will end. It can only be activated once per stock.
