This page is for Tekken 8. For Tekken 7, see Jin (Tekken 7).

Jin is an incredibly versatile character, having an answer for every situation. His strengths include powerful punishment, space control with long-ranged keep-out attacks, and excellent close-ranged pressure thanks to his pokes and wavedash mix-ups. His execution requirements are strict in high-level play, but he can be played effectively by beginners and masters alike.

Jin’s strong space control tools include Front Thrust Kick (f+4) a safe, counter-hit launching mid, and High Right Roundhouse (4), a fast homing move with counter-hit properties. When it’s time to go on the offensive, use Demon’s Paw (f, f+2), a safe, long-ranged, mid Heat Engager; one of the strongest approach tools in Tekken 8.

Up close, Jin has several delayable poking strings, such as Double Thrust > Roundhouse (2, 1, 4) and Mid Left Punch > High Roundhousekick (d/f+1, 4). Mix in lows such as Scourge (d+2) and Right Low Roundhouse (d/b+4) for oppressive offense.

Rounding out Jin's moveset is the incredible Electric Wind Hook Fist (f, n, d, d/f+2), an excellent tool for pressure, keep out and punishment alike. Practice wavedashing to mix it up with Depraved Savagery (f, n, d, d/f+4, 2), a power low, and Left Axe Kick (f, f+3), a safe mid launcher.

Perhaps the most well-rounded character in the roster, few encompass Tekken more than Jin: The Lightning of Fate!
