Rage Drive: Difference between revisions

Kazuya has access to a special ability called '''Rage''' (not to be confused with the universal [[rage]] mechanic). It will activate once Kazuya has sustained 100% damage or is at 25% of his maximum health in Stamina mode. During this state he will be surrounded by a red aura, while the [[name]]space under the damage meter will glow red. Rage will power up all of Kazuya's attacks by ×1.1 so long as it is active; it does not have a time limit, but will expire from a combination of damage taken by Kazuya and grabs missed by him; successfully performing a Rage Drive will also deplete Rage. Kazuya must lose a stock before being able to access Rage again. Also, being healed under the Rage threshold won't remove the status.

! Number of missed grabs

When under the effects of Rage, Kazuya can use his Rage Drive. In effect, it is a more powerful variation of [[Heaven's Door]], which will fittingly trigger [[Special Zoom]]. there are three main ways to activate Rage Drive. The first is to simply grab the opponent; during the Rage state, all of Kazuya's grabs will automatically turn into his Rage Drive, including [[Gates of Hell]]. The second is to use the Heaven's door input, which automatically turns into Rage Drive on the ground. However, using Heaven's Door in the air won't turn it into Rage Drive. The third is to perform a [[Command Input Special Moves|command input]] version of the Rage Drive, with → ↓ ↘ + holding the attack button (normally, this would perform a [[Dragon Uppercut]] instead). The command input version is significantly stronger than a normal Rage Drive, and can be inputted out of a [[Crouch Dash]]; as such, it serves as a powerful approach tool.
