Crouch Dash is an advanced movement technique exclusive to Kazuya.

How to perform

The player must move Kazuya towards the opponent, then down and down-forward in a Z formation (→ ↓ ↘). The player can also crouch dash by dashing forward then flicking the C-Stick/right control stick down if the stick is set to attack. If done correctly, Kazuya will slide forward a considerable distance. His upper body is invincible during the entirely of the slide. Quickly doing this technique several times is a useful method to close gaps, apply pressure, and dodge some projectiles. Out of actions such as a spotdodge, Kazuya can close distance with minimal vulnerability windows, making him difficult to punish from a distance. It's also useful as a ledge option for similar reasons.

Origin

Kazuya executing a crouch dash in Tekken 7.

Crouch dashing — more commonly known as wavedashing — originated in the first Tekken game. While far more commonly known as a technique in Melee, the term was adopted in the Smash Community for its similarity in execution and effects. Kazuya can't actually execute a traditional crouch dash in the Tekken series; he instead uses Mist Step to perform a "simplified" one, which can then be used to execute a Perfect Electric Wind God Fist, a Dragon Uppercut, or a Spinning Demon. Mist Step to Electric Wind God Fist is the fastest way to use the move in the series.
