Though Street Fighter X Tekken was expected take Street Fighter 4’s place as the top fighting game back when it was released, it ended up being a massive flop for Capcom. However, Capcom eventually decided to take some of the characters that were in Street Fighter X Tekken and essentially import them into Street Fighter 4 (along with newcomer Decapre) to create Ultra Street Fighter 4.
Of course, only the Street Fighter combatants joined the roster of Ultra Street Fighter 4. The idea of a third party guest character playable in a mainline Street Fighter is something that only just happened earlier this year with the announcement of Terry and Mai coming to Street Fighter 6.
Regardless, it seems that one modder has been playing with the idea that Tekken’s Kazuya Mishima could be playable in Ultra Street Fighter 4. As expected, Kazuya is mostly based on how he plays in Street Fighter X Tekken.
Typical of a Tekken rep in Street Fighter X Tekken, Kazuya has retained his many target combos. In general, he also has access to an above average number of command normals.
Kazuya also gets to use many of his most iconic attacks, such as the Wind God Fist. It would appear that the Electric Wind Godfist still requires precise execution in order to access without spending meter.
Overall, the mod showcased by racel RYX master is clearly unfinished, but has made a significant amount of progress. Perhaps someday, Kazuya will officially appear as a guest character in a mainline Street Fighter entry, similar to how Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui recently did in Street Fighter 6.
