PokeMixupKeepoutWhiff punishOkizemePressureDefenseTricky

Devil Jin is the most well-rounded mishimaโ€”that is to say he has all of their strengths with none of their weaknesses. There is no tool he lacks, and on top of being a jack-of-all-trades his options are often best-in-class.

He's unique in having an unreactable low launcher from standing that leads to a full juggle. (The only other comparable moves are Jin's CD.4 which can't get a wall combo and is borderline reactable, and Anna's FC.df+2~1 which is done from crouch.) This makes all of his mid pokes much stronger than they appear, since the opponent has to duck a lot more than usual.

Strengths
  • Simple neutral plan: EWGF for keepout and whiff punishment, uf+4 and CD.4 for mixup
  • Doesn't need to block punish -15 moves with EWGF (can do d+3+4)
  • Strong panic moves (u+4, b+1+3)
  • Absurd wall pressure (f+1+2, f,F+2)
  • Safe mid extensions on key mid pokes (ws1, df+1)
  • Fast mid homing option (b,f+2)
Weaknesses
  • Execution barrier behind some key techniques
  • Mediocre jab hitbox
  • ws2 gives a bad combo
