Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Kazuya Mishima releasing on June 29th/30th, new amiibo revealed (Min Min), and more

During the latest presentation for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Masahiro Sakurai made some announcements regarding the latest set of DLC for the game. The latest DLC Fighter, Kazuya Mishima from Tekken is releasing on June 29th (North America) / June 30th (Europe, Japan). You will be able to purchase it separately ($5.99) or as part of the Fighter Pass 2 ($29.99).

If you want to see Kazuya Mishima in action, make sure to check out the full recording of the presentation:

Debuting more than 25 years ago in the original TEKKEN game, Kazuya Mishima is one of the most recognizable faces in the storied fighting game series. Kazuya moves from the arenas of TEKKEN, where players must understand the space between characters and focus on where to hit their opponents in a 3D plane, to the battlefields of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where players must attack their foes through 2D heights and distances. Because of this change in gameplay dimensions, Kazuya shows off a special skill set in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate when compared to his TEKKEN roots.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Kazuya’s main attacks are similar to his fighting moves in TEKKEN, but to give him the midair jumps, smash attacks and special moves that the Super Smash Bros. series is known for, his Devil’s Power is put to use. In later games in the TEKKEN series, Kazuya can transform into a powerful winged demon. Players will notice Kazuya activating this Devil’s Power for various jumps, smash attacks and special moves in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

The new stage that players will receive in Challenger Pack 10, Mishima Dojo, is the dojo of the Mishima family – specifically Kazuya’s father Heihachi. The dojo is closed off in all directions, but its walls and ceiling can be broken with strong attacks, turning the stage into dangerous terrain. With no floating platforms, the Mishima Dojo stage is more grounded than many other stages in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, requiring new strategies when battling on it.

After downloading Challenger Pack 10, players will also receive 39 music tracks from the TEKKEN series, containing a mix of songs from earlier and more recent games in the franchise.

On the same day, the latest set of costumes for Mii Fighters will be released, featuring the following characters:

• Shantae
• Lloyd Irving
• Dante
• Dragonborn

And finally, a new amiibo figure was announced. Next year, Min Min from ARMS is getting her very own figure!
