Tekken: Dark Resurrection is an updated version of Tekken 5 developed by Namco and released in arcades in 2005. It adds new characters, balance adjustments, and expanded customization options. The game retains the series’ 3D fighting mechanics, where players compete in one-on-one battles using a variety of moves and combos. It was later released on the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3 with additional content and online features.
Following the events of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, Jin Kazama defeats his father, Kazuya Mishima, at the Mishima Zaibatsu’s Honmaru temple. Disgusted by Kazuya’s weakness, Heihachi Mishima challenges Jin, but is ultimately overpowered when Jin unleashes his Devil form. Regaining control at the last moment, Jin spares Heihachi and leaves, abandoning the battlefield. Moments later, Honmaru is suddenly attacked by an army of Jack robots deployed from an unknown source. Heihachi and Kazuya are forced to fight side by side against the overwhelming assault, but as the battle intensifies, Kazuya betrays his father and escapes. The temple is destroyed in a massive explosion, and Heihachi is presumed dead. In the aftermath, a mysterious figure observes the destruction and reports Heihachi’s death. Despite the apparent collapse of the Mishima Zaibatsu, an unknown leader quickly takes control and restores the organization’s power. One month later, the Zaibatsu announces the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, setting the stage for a new conflict.

From the Tekken series, Kazuya Mishima brings his demonic DNA into the fray as a DLC fighter in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game. Kazuya’s fighting style captures the distinct style of the Tekken series as he gets up close and personal with heavy strikes and incredible comeback power. His specials tap into his Devil Gene with moves like the beam-shooting Devil Blaster and high-flying Devil Wings. The son of Tekken icon Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya has a chip on his shoulder and destructive power. What makes Kazuya Mishima unique in this game are his standard attacks—rather than 4 directional standard attacks, he has 8. This addition of diagonal inputs mimics his abilities in the Tekken games and make him an unpredictable fighter with a lot of combo options. The stage added with this fighter is the Mishima Dojo, which starts out with all four directions closed off. A strong launch or direct attack can shatter the walls and ceilings, allowing for opponents to get KO’d.
