Inclusion: I felt that there wasn't too much fanfare for this one. Tekken is sort of a given to be in it with how much more prominent FG characters are and the fact that Bandai Namco was a mainstay dev for the series. That being said, Tekken rules and it's really cool to see it represented here.
Fighter: Kazuya feels like breaking the limits of what they can do with a smash character. He has a ton of inputs that do various unique attacks and his combo and mixup game is absolutely insane. That and a bunch of small inclusions like the shifting camera angles for throws make him the most fun DLC character as a spectator out of all of them.
Stage: I think the stage is really neat, but it feels like a lesser version of the KoF arena with a much weaker version of the wall mechanic. It slightly mitigates this by not having full-on walkoffs but it just feels a bit less specialized in that way.
Music: Tekken music is legendary, they chose a ton of fantastic picks for the soundtrack. There's some really strong remixes here too, I like Yoko Shimomura's take on Infinite Azure quite a bit. I play tracks from this selection a lot on Battlefield and FD.
The Tekken announcer being there for his victory screen was also a really nice touch.

I have never played a single Tekken game in my life, but I kinda want to change that someday because Kazuya is dope. I love how he has like two hundred different attacking moves like a traditional fighting game character that's both cool and hilarious. I love the vibe of his stage as well dojos slap so hard I'm glad we finally have one in Smash. this pack is also my first time listening to Tekken music and I should do that more often because whoa this franchise has some solid tracks man.
great character and pack, but I feel like he should drop his enemies off of a cliff and smile to the camera as a victory screen I think that would be very funny
