Devil Blaster (デビルブラスター, Devil Blaster) is Kazuya's neutral special move.

Overview

Kazuya turns into Devil Kazuya for a brief moment, as he fires a small beam from his forehead in front of himself. The damage vary depending on how far the opponent is, having a piercing effect and covers a long distance. A single beam can go through a maximum of three opponents, with each consecutive opponent receiving less damage than the previous. During the move, the player can aim up or down, which has him fire diagonally up or diagonally down, causing a very small shockwave on the ground. Aiming downwards slightly decreases damage, but hits small or crouching opponents that would miss entirely when angled horizontally. If used in the air, he will simply fire diagonally downwards.

Origin

Devil Blaster (also called Inferno or Laser Beam) is an unblockable move introduced in Tekken 2 as Devil Kazuya's signature move. It is also performed by two characters, Devil Jin and Angel. It is notably one of the rare few projectile moves in the series.

In its debut game, the attack takes out the opponent's health at 50%, making it very powerful. The only way to dodge it by crouching, leaving him opened to be attacked. Its command input is 1+2 (Triangle and Square buttons on the Playstation controller). He also has an air variant called Air Inferno, using the 3+4 (X and Circle buttons) input, which is referenced in Super Smah Bros. Ultimate. Later games has the attack nerfed. In Tekken 7, he uses it as his final attack in his Rage Art.
