According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]] in the Mr. Sakurai Presents "Kazuya" video, Kazuya was chosen over his father Heihachi Mishima, who was previously [[List of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U pre-release and unused content|considered]] for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', due to the former's possession of the Devil Gene, which allowed for a better potential moveset than Heihachi.<ref>Nintendo (June 28, 2021).

His moveset is derivative of his fighting style in the ''Tekken'' series. His attacks are combo-based, requiring the player to input commands in order to execute several moves. Kazuya has a unique ability known as '''Rage''', a furious state which increases attack power by 10%, but can only be activated once per stock. This ability enables Kazuya to use a special move called '''Rage Drive''': a drop throw similar to Heaven's Door, but with extremely high damage. Rage Drive can be activated using a grab, connecting Heaven's Door with an opponent, or using the Shoryuken command input alongside the attack button. Using the Rage Drive attack ends the Rage state, which can be reactivated if Kazuya loses one of his stocks.

He also has a mechanic that's identical to [[Bowser|Bowser's]] Tough Guy, called "Tough Body"; Kazuya will not flinch from low knockback attacks, but the armor threshold is weaker than that of Tough Guy.


Kazuya is the first ''Super Smash Bros.'' fighter not to have a victory fanfare, instead having the classic ''Tekken'' announcer declare Kazuya's victory against a silent background; in team battles, the regular announcer declares the victory of Kazuya's team instead.
