Tips
- 0
Paul's iconic Phoenix Smasher (CS.2) is -17 on block; you can punish this reliably with a full launch using d+3+4 or a fast i14 ws2 if you blocked it while crouching.
- 0
Use b+1+3 parry against Paul's predictable heavy strikes like f+1+2 or SWA.1 to create an opening, as Jin recovers in 14f after a successful parry.
- 0
Jin's f+4 is an excellent tool here; at i16 startup and only -8 on block, it safely checks Paul's attempts to enter Sway (d,db,b) or Crouch Dash.
- 0
If Paul uses his Power Crush b+1+2, be aware it is i24 and -9 on block, making it safe, but you can interrupt the startup with fast i13 mids like df+1.
- 0
Watch out for Paul's SWA.4 homing high; it is +1 on block and leads to a full combo on counter hit, so avoid mindless sidestepping when he is in sway.
- 0
Paul's Shredder kicks (uf+3,4) are i15 and -13 on block; use Jin's i13 1+2 Heat Engager to punish and take control of the round.
- 0
Jin's Electric Wind Hook Fist (CD.df:2) is +5 on block, which is perfect for pressuring Paul and forcing him to respect your offense instead of using his high-evasion df+2.
