Approach f,F+2 Very quick, advancing, heat engaging mid. Jin's demon paw has massive lateral range and has tracking to both sides. While still vulnerable to a well timed step to your left, a slight delay can cause the move to clip someone trying to avoid it anyways. The heat engage on hit, or a knockdown/wallsplat when heat isn't avaliable ensures this move has excellent reward on hit. f,f,F+3 A standard while running plus on block mid. Jin hops at the start of the animation which gives this move some evasive properties. Wavedash Jin has access to the mishima staple movement technique, the wavedash. This allows him to threaten a plethora of powerful options while never committing to an animation which locks him out from defending. A key note is he can perform f,F+2 or f,f,F+3 out of wavedash while using it to realign and track to enemies attempting to step the attack.
Poking 2,1 done 1 done df+1 done b+2,1 done b+1,2 done df+2 done d+4 done iWS1 A quick, i13 mid from crouch, it is both safe and has a good number of followups to keep opponents on their toes, ws1,2, ws1,3,B, ws1,3~3, etc. iWS4 Jin's fastest while standing option, the safe followup and the advantage on block gives you the ability to respond with additonal attacks or movement to create whiffs. 4 A fast homing high with counterhit properties.
Pressure EWHF df+4 A heat engaging mid, being +0, using this move in pressure does not give up your turn on block. d+2 A high crushing, tracking low with good reward on hit and an instant tornado launch on counterhit ZEN
Keepout EWHF f+4 Big chunky mid, big pushback, launch on counterhit. f,F+2
Defense and Punishment 2,4 i10 punish with followup into zen stance db+1 i10 crouch jab, high crush, special mid. b+1,2 i12 punish, wallsplats from far away, hit confirmable, if the landing isn't teched, cd1 picks up the combo from the ground. uf+4/d+3+4 i15 punish launcher, uf+4 low crushes, d+3+4 does more damage but is much more punishable on block. uf+3 Low crush, counterhit launcher, safe on block. Has a further hitbox than uf+4, which might make it a more potent low crush at certain ranges or against certain moves/stances. f,F+2 Good for punishing moves with large pushback like asuka's xx f+3,1/1+2 i14 and i13 punish, heat engage EWHF can tornado launch i14, but incredibly difficult ws4,4 i11 crouch punish ws1 i13 crouch punish, full string is less plus than just hellsweep so the exact same oki won't work. ws2 i14 crouch launcher, a relative rarity.
