''10-Hit Combo (button tapped or held)'': A series of 10 hits: two left-hand punches, a right-hand punch, a backhand strike, a left up kick, a right axe kick, a right low sweeping kick, a left low kick, a right [[electric]] punch that [[crumple]]s, and a bursting uppercut. The last hit is [[unblockable]]. Each hit moves Kazuya forward, making him travel half the distance of Final Destination for the whole move. The full combo deals a whopping 38%, making it by far the most damaging [[natural combo]] neutral attack in the game, and the final hit can KO at around 160%. However, its has multiple inconsistencies to offset this: the full combo cannot be completed near a ledge as the opponent will fall off it, the move is very easily DI'd out of due to its low hitstun and various [[SDI]] multipliers during hits 3-8 (with the third hit having a 5× multiplier), and its multiple pauses allow quick attacks to interrupt the move between hits. As a result, 10-Hit Combo is very situational as the full move cannot usually be completed, and DI'ng forward usually causes it to fail; it is often more effective to cancel the move partway to mixup with other moves, and can also be used to forcibly make an opponent fall off a ledge, where they may accidentally perform a panic option like an airdodge. Based on the traditional 10-hit combo route all ''Tekken'' characters can perform, with this string taking inspiration from the ones used by the Mishima clan.

The first hit comes out at frame 6, making it slower than average.
The first hit comes out at frame 6, making it slower than average. Flash Punch and the 3rd hit of 10-Hit Combo share a [[staleness]] slot, meaning they stale each other. Additionally, hits 4-10 of 10-Hit Combo also share a staleness slot.

|utiltdesc=Two small uppercuts, with his left hand followed by his right hand. As with other natural combos, each hit is used with another button press. Each hit grants upper body intangibility. The first hit can be canceled to lead into other moves. The second hit can act as a combo finisher from attacks such as down tilt and down throw, although it is very unrewarding and poor for followups due to Kazuya's slow jumpsquat. Based on the string of the same name (wr1, 2 - while rising left punch, right punch); unlike the rest of Kazuya's tilts, it is not performed with the same directional inputs used by Kazuya in ''Tekken''.

|uftiltdesc=Does a high roundhouse kick, followed by three spinning kicks, with the last kick striking at a high angle. The first kick grants his legs intangibility. As with other natural combos, each hit is used with another button press. The full combo deals 22%, and the final hit is very powerful, KOing at the ledge near 105%, making it a useful combo finisher. Due to the height of the first hit, it can miss very small characters like {{SSBU|Pichu}}, and the opponent may be sent too far to be hit by the final kick if the first few hits connect near a ledge. Based on his uf+4, 4, 4, 4 string (up forwards + right kick, right kick, right kick, right kick.)

|dftiltdesc=A high kick followed by an axe kick, similar to Ken's Inazuma Kick. Grants leg intangibility and moves Kazuya forwards, and acts like a natural combo. Acts somewhat like a high kick in traditional fighting games, as it can catch jumping opponents. The second hit deals high shield damage. Despite its looks, the first kick reaches down to the ground, allowing it to lock. Surprisingly, the first hit can hit ledge-hanging opponents, but it cannot connect into the second hit in this way. Based on his df+4, 4 string (down forwards + right kick, right kick).

If the ↘ input and the attack button are pressed at the same time (a 3-frame window: the frames before and on the ↘ input or the frame after if the ↘ input is still held), it will become '''Electric Wind God Fist''' (EWGF). This version grants upper body intangibility then full body intangibility before the hitbox comes out, and inflicts [[paralysis]] to the opponent while pushing back opponents that shield. Like in ''Tekken'', Electric Wind God Fist is difficult to perform consistently as it essentially requires a frame-perfect input, but it is significantly more rewarding than a standard Wind God Fist: compared to its regular counterpart, it has significantly increased hitstun and frame advantage. It is crucial to Kazuya's combo game as a whole, leading into powerful KO confirms, such as forward smash, up smash and Devil Wings, or highly damaging loops with Crouch Jab or neutral aerial's meteor smash. It also heavily pushes back shielded targets and forces them out of shield, making it extremely safe on hit, and ledge-hugging opponents will fall off the ledge if they are shielding beside it, allowing for an edgeguard. For all its strengths, its strict window makes it very difficult to master, as mistiming will instead perform the less effective Wind God Fist, which has very limited followups. Despite this, Electric Wind God Fist's overall excellent versatility as a combo starter makes it commonly considered one of the best moves in the game.
