Recovers 2f faster on hit or block (t27 r17)

The cornerstone of Devil Jin's poking game. +1 on block +8 on hit. That +8 allows for an excellent frametrapping mixup following up with b+4 & d+3. Once they respect that, hitting one jab let's you go into your larger moves.

First part of his +8 mixup. It's safe on block and counterhits after a jab hit for a nice 62 damage launch. Additionally it's a core part of Devil Jin's okizeme, it's his primary groundhitting move.

Second part of the +8 mixup, trades with jabs for a free df+4,4. It's useful to check whether or not they duck after your jabs.

Excellent large homing mid made plus and gives a combo during heat.

Okizeme game

Neutral

Close range

Devil Jin has a very solid close range game due to his jab. Putting out one let's you confirm whether or not it hits to use the +1 or +8 to continue your pressure. Using 1,1 let's you hit-confirm into 1,1,2 which gives him MCR okizeme. The however his quick mid checks aren't amazing df+1 and df+2 are good, but don't give a lot of reward on hit. Therefore using his ws4 is a strong choice as it gives +8 on hit and allows him to frametrap with b+4 and d+3.
