Welcome to the latest in the series of Universal Fighting System Set 13 Tekken 6 spoilers, presented by Set 13's designer, James Hata .

Today we discuss Kazuya Mishima, one of most popular characters in the Tekken series. Kazuya is known for being a brutal and vicious fighter, and his character themes are a reflection of that - or as I like to say - Kazuya hates the world and likes to show it.

Kazuya plays off of a mechanic that is rarely used in UFS - the stacking or “fusion” mechanic. This means that his abilities are based on how many copies of his character card are in his staging area at any given point in time. In this particular situation, Kazuya has a lower difficulty of 4 on his character card to help this strategy along.

Once he has at least one additional version of his character fused along with his starting character, Kazuya becomes a huge threat. Essentially, he has an opportunity to clear the entire board and make his attacks stronger. This threat alone is enough to make your opponent shift gears and change his strategy. Kazuya’s support cards also support this theme of staging area destruction, as well as the strategy of character stacking in general.

I am confident that this powerful character will be an interesting and welcome addition to the UFS universe. If you would like to see another spoiler for the Tekken 6 set, please visit this UFS fan site: Team Canada Online .
