While we were trying out the latest build of Street Fighter x Tekken (TGS build) at Games 11 – Dubai with the folks at White Tower Q8, Yaqoub took an in depth look at Kazuya’s wave dash. Further testing showed that Kazuya has middle-upper body invincibility throughout the dash but can be hit with low attacks, such as crouching short and other attacks.
Here’s what Yaqoub has to say:
“The wave dash is not invincible to low projectiles like Sagat’s low Tiger Shot as seen in the video. Kazuya also cannot be thrown by either normal throws or command throws, as shown against Hugo.
Looking at this a bit more in-depth, Kazuya is not at an advantage (from what we currently know) because of the following:
1. The wave dash is unsafe when not cancelled into another wave dash. Kazuya can be hit otherwise.
2. Kazuya can only follow up with a punch button which will pull off an EWGF (Electric Wind God Fist, or even “doriya!” for short) and it seems like it’s unsafe when blocked.
3. Returning to neutral/idle state from a wave dash takes a while and Kazuya can be hit.
I’m not sure if you can use any kick buttons after the wave dash to get his spin-kick move but the Jab follow-up (jumping uppercut) can be continued with a kick button to get that spin kick move.”
