How has the others proven that they are more durable then Kaz?
From what I've seen, nothing they have been hit by rivals falling from a cliff as a small child.
They are faster, I give them that, but tell me, what else do they have that will make a difference?
I didn't say they were more durable, I just don't think that Kazuya is more durable. Kazuya was almost dead when he fell.
Kasumi fell from a skyscraper while simultaneously engaging Alpha-152 in aerial combat. After hitting the ground, Kasumi was completely unscathed and poised to continue the fight.
Ayane has also fell from a skyscraper unnharmed. She took a mountain-side leveling blast immediately after fighting Hayate and Kasumi and still proceeded to win against a stronger foe.
Hayabusa traverses cities by falling from heights including skyscrapers. He has also fallen from cloud level and only been a little disoriented afterwards. Hayabusa weathered blows from and defeated Jann Lee, who at the time could literally explode a thick tree by punching it.
Hayate, as you can probably guess by now, has also fallen from a skyscraper unharmed.
In all honesty, Kazuya's durability is average among the high tiers of DOA like Zack and Hitomi. That's not a bad thing, as they are among the strongest in DOA, but Hitomi lost to a ninja just like Kazuya will. Zack, well he's in a whole other league for durability honestly. I wish they'd let him have a shot at one of the ninja.
Kazuya is quite tough, but I need to remind you of the ninpo and teleportation abilities at the disposal of every ninja on that list. Kazuya is fighting an uphill battle here.
