Devil Blaster (デビルブラスター, Devil Blaster) is Kazuya's neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
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 varies depending on how far the opponent is, having a piercing effect and covering 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 angle it 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 fire diagonally downwards, but he can angle it horizontally or further downward. It will briefly stall Kazuya if used in the air, making it useful for recovery, but can only be used once before landing. Kazuya also fires the beam in his up throw, and as with most projectile based throws, it can be reflected or absorbed.

On the ground, unleash a powerful beam forward. In the air, the beam will angle downward. It has a long range that can hit up to three fighters. |
