The trailer showed a bit of gameplay, as well as Kazuya tossing Ganondorf and others into a volcano. Naturally, Kirby was able to float away.

During the presentation, Smash Bros. director Sakurai confirmed that Kazuya will retain several iconic moves from the Tekken games, including the Sternum Smash, Jumping Sobat, Dragon Uppercut, Tombstone Crusher, Gates of Hell and Demon God Fist.
