Tips

  • 0

    Use your i6 Soul Stealer (1+4) to interrupt Jin's common pressure strings like 1,2 or 2,1 if he tries to continue attacking after they are blocked.

  • 0

    Jin's d+3+4 (Double Lift Kick) is -19 on block; ensure you punish this with a full launcher like df+2 or f+2,1.

  • 0

    When Jin uses f,F+2 (Demon's Paw), it is -8 on block; while you cannot punish it, you can often transition into Kincho (1+2) to mix up your response.

  • 0

    Be wary of Jin's f+4; it is a safe mid that tracks slightly. Use your Spinning Evade (b+3 or b+4) sparingly to reset the neutral if you feel pressured.

  • 0

    If Jin transitions into Zenshin (ZEN) stance, you can often interrupt his slower options with your i12 df+4 or a quick jab.

  • 0

    Jin's ws2 is -12 on block; punish it reliably with your 2,d+3 for quick damage.

  • 0

    Jin's d+2 is -14 on block; use your 1+4 or 2,d+3 to punish it effectively and stop his low momentum.
