Overview

Jin is a Major in the NOL and one of its elite commanding officers. While known for his cool and calm demeanor, he is also jealous, ambitious, and possessive with little care for others, treating them like they are mere obstacles. He displayed formidable combat prowess during the Ikaruga Civil War, which earned him his rank as Major and the title "Hero of Ikagura." When he heard that Ragna the Bloodedge was on the move, he quickly abandoned his post to hunt him down by himself.

Drive: Frostbite
Frostbite enables Jin to freeze his opponents, allowing for extended combos and unconventional reset opportunities.
Moves that can freeze have two additional values: Freeze Count and Freeze Duration

  • Freeze Count: This value determines the number of times that an opponent may be frozen in a single combo. Under normal circumstances, an opponent can only be frozen once per combo using a normal Drive attack (5D, 2D, 6D, j.D). If you use another normal Drive attack while the opponent has already been frozen once before, the normal Drive attack will not freeze the opponent. However, EX Specials (214D, 236D, 623D, etc.) ignore the Freeze Count limit. Furthermore, you may freeze the opponent more than once per combo with normal Drive attacks during Overdrive (see the Overdrive section for more details).
  • Freeze Duration: This value determines how long the opponent will be frozen in place after being hit by a move that freezes. Freeze Duration is not affected by hit-stun decay or bonus hit-stun from a Fatal Counter starter; in other words, Freeze Duration is a fixed/set value.
  • If an opponent is crouching or airborne when frozen, they will be forced into a standing state.
  • If an attack hits Jin while the opponent is frozen, the opponent will recover from the freeze effect immediately after hitstop.
  • Opponents will automatically break free from the freeze effect if they are hit by a normal attack, if Jin goes over the Freeze Count limit, and after the Freeze Duration expires.


EX Specials
Jin has access to a set of special moves that consume 25% Heat, similar to Force Breaks from Guilty Gear AC, EX attacks from Street Fighter 4, and SB Skills from Persona 4 Arena.

  • All of Jin's EX Specials freeze the opponent and ignore the Freeze Count limit.
  • If Jin attempts an attack that requires 25% Heat without sufficient meter, the C version of the attack will occur instead (for example, inputting 623D with 24 Heat will cause Jin to perform 623C).
  • All EX Specials trigger Heat cooldown for 180 frames upon use.
  • Jin will gain a reduced amount of Heat during a combo after using an EX Special.
  • Although EX Specials ignore Freeze Count, there are other restrictions in place. If you trigger SMP by using the same EX Special twice in the same combo, the EX Special will not freeze the opponent again.


Overdrive: Frost End
Frost End is Jin's Overdrive. During Overdrive, all of Jin's sword normals and specials freeze the opponent; the Freeze Count limit for Jin's normal Drive attacks is altered; and Jin's EX specials gain additional properties (ground bounce, wall bounce, etc.).

  • Sword normals (5C, 2C, 6C, j.C, j.2C) will now freeze the opponent and have a Freeze Count limit of 3.
  • Normal Drives (5D, 2D, 6D, j.D) gain an extended Freeze Count limit of 3.
  • Special moves will now freeze the opponent and have a Freeze Count limit of 5.
  • Normal Drives (5D, 2D, 6D, j.D) gain more frame advantage, have higher P2, and freeze for a longer period of time.
  • EX Specials gain additional properties: 214D~C wall bounces, j.214D ground bounces, 22C~D deals more hits and additional damage, 236D can be dash cancelled, and 623D(2) launches the opponent.
  • EX Specials lose their 180F cool-down period.
  • 632146C and 236236D have enhanced animations and deal additional damage.
  • Freeze attacks that trigger SMP will still fail to freeze the opponent.

You can only freeze the opponent up to 5 times in a single OD combo (not counting EX Specials). The specials' Freeze Count limit of 5 is shared with the sword normals/Drives' Freeze Count limit of 3, meaning that you can only freeze the opponent up to 3 times with sword normals and/or Drives and 2 more times with special attacks for a maximum of 5 freezes per OD combo (again, not including EX Specials, which ignore the Freeze Count limit).

Pros/Strengths

  • Above-average health.
  • Jin has tools to deal with just about any situation, from air-to-air battles to both short- and long- range ground battles.
  • High average damage. Jin can hit-confirm pretty much everything and turn those hit-confirms into damaging combos, especially when he has 25 Heat.
  • Has access to various reversal options, including two reversal DPs (DP C and DP D), which cover different situations, as well as a counter super (Yukikaze).
  • One of the better Overdrives in terms of damage output.
  • He can play an effective zoning game with his projectiles (Ice Blades) and his pokes, such as 5C, 5D, 2D, and j.C.
  • Jin is a fairly straight-forward character, making him perfect for newbies. His bread and butter combos are relatively simple in terms of execution.
  • Very strong, safe pressure: Jin excels at placing opponents in frightening situations and can force such situations easily.


Cons/Weaknesses

  • Jin is the standard "jack of all trades, master of none" character. He doesn't excel at anything in particular (though he doesn't have any outstanding weaknesses).
  • While his standing overhead (6A) is among the fastest in the game, it cannot be followed up unless on CH or with 50 Heat for a Rapid Cancel.
  • Jin's basic high-low mix-up is weak without 25-50 Heat when he can use TK Hizangeki or RC 6A.
  • While Jin's offence is strong, his mix-up is less "wild" than other characters'; consequently, Jin relies on his Freeze attacks for unconventional resets, as well as punishing opponents for selecting their defensive options poorly, utilising frame traps, etc.

Normal Moves

5A
5A
BBCS Jin 5A.png
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
300 CSOJR All 6 3 9 -2 B -

Standard jab. Whiffs on crouching opponents except those with large crouching hit-boxes, such as Tager and Relius. Can be used as an anti-air against late/weak jump-ins. Jump-cancellable on hit and block.

5B
5B
BBCS Jin 5B.png
Great tool for its range and speed.
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
350, 250 SO(J)R All 7 4(2)1 19 -6 B -

A two-hit move. Both hits have a slight vacuum effect. It has good reach and quick a start-up, making it a common combo starter. Leads to your basic high-low mix-up, since it gatlings into 2B and 6A on the first hit, or it can be used to frame trap, set-up throws, etc. Can be jump-cancelled on hit only.

5C
5C
BBCS Jin 5C.png
Good zoning tool, but can lose to mash if you're not careful.
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
710 SOJR All 10 4 19 -6 B -
  • Freezes opponent for 40F during OD. Freeze Count 3.

A strong zoning and neutral tool. One of Jin's best pokes. It has a pretty quick start-up, particularly for its range. Use it as a frame trap or to fish for CHs in neutral. Jump-cancellable on hit and block.

2A
2A
BBCS Jin 2A.png
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
300 CSOJR All 7 3 8 -1 F -

A relatively slow jab but it has decent reach and typically leaves Jin safe on block. Mostly used for stagger pressure and sometimes as a situational anti-air, as Jin's hitbox shrinks quite a bit when peforming 2A, allowing him to low-profile some air attacks. Jump-cancellable on hit and block.

2B
2B
BBCS Jin 2B.png
Surprisingly long range for its animation.
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
500 SO(J)R Low 9 1 16 -3 F -

Hits low. Two frames slower than 2A, but 2B has more range and is a better starter; in return, it has more recovery than 2A. Can be used to reset pressure from time to time.

2C
2C
BBCS Jin 2C.png
Long vertical range, has head invul before and through the first active frame.
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
720 SOJR HL 17 3 24 -10 B 9-19H
  • Head invuln 9-19f.
  • Freezes opponent for 40F during OD. Freeze Count 3.

It has a huge vertical hit-box but it has significant start-up and recovery. Can be used as an effective frame trap since it can be jump-cancelled on hit and block. As an anti-air, 2C is slower than some of Jin's other options, but it has a lengthy period of head invuln and great vertical range, making it useful against certain air approaches; however, 2C can be beaten by quick attacks due to its start-up. Head invuln begins well before active frames and extends through them.

6A
6A
BBCS Jin 6A.png
Overhead, short range, fast, -8 on block. Requires resources or CH for conversions.
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
640 R H 19 3 22 -8 B -

Extremely quick overhead, but it can only be followed up if it lands as a counter-hit or with 25-50 Heat. 2A, 5A, and 5B are the only moves that gatling into 6A, so beware becoming predictable in your strings: Jin's 6A is an excellent tool that's difficult to block due to its speed and animation, but opponents aware of your gatling options will block 6A easily if you simply cancel into it at obvious points. Very unsafe on block. Beware using this move without 50 Heat for a Rapid Cancel.

6B
6B
BBCS Jin 6B.png
NOT an overhead. Goes over lows.
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
690 SOR All 25 2 5+9L +3 H 4-18F
  • Low invuln 4-18f.

Invulnerable to lows early in its start-up, but it's pretty slow. 6B is positive on block so it can be used to reset pressure from time to time if your opponent is respecting and to situationally beat 2A mash.

6C
6C
BBCS Jin 6C.png
Combo filler, especially in the corner.
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
920 SOR HL 19 3 31 -13 B -
  • Freezes opponent for 45F during OD. Freeze Count 3.

It has a pretty good vertical hit-box, so it can be used as a situational anti-air in the corner, though it lacks head invuln. Other than that, this move is mostly used as combo filler or as a high-risk frame trap. One of Jin's strongest combo starters.

3C
3C
BBCS Jin 3C.png
Combo ender, occasional zoning tool.
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
650 SOR L 10 3 29 -15 F -

Jin's sweep. It has decent reach and start-up but it's punishable on block if you don't special cancel it. It can also be used to low profile under certain moves, such as Ragna's 5B at max range. Combo tool.

j.A
j.A
BBCS Jin jA.png
Good for an air-to-air battle.
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
300 CSOR H 7 3 6 - H -

A standard air jab. Hits high. Mostly used as an air-to-air. Jin's fastest air normal, but it has the least range.

j.B

BBCS Jin jB.png
Hits above, in front, and below Jin. Has a cross-up hitbox.
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
540 SOJR H 10 8 23 - H -

Pretty versatile move: it can be used as a jump-in, for cross-ups, etc. During the latter active frames, the hitbox extends fully. Capable of hitting above, in front of, below, and behind Jin at certain frames.

j.C

700 SOJR HA 10 3 20+4L - H -
  • Freezes opponent for 40F during OD. Freeze Count 3.

Another great zoning/neutral move. Mostly used as an air-to-air and to control space while fishing for CHs. Be careful not to be too predictable with this as most characters have at least one move that can low profile j.C. Can be jump-cancelled on hit and block.

j.2C

  • Freezes opponent for 40F during OD. Freeze Count 3

Another versatile move, as it hits all around Jin. Primarily used as a jump-in due to its hit-box; unlike j.C, j.2C has a stronger vertical hitbox, whereas j.C has a superior horizontal p one. Can be jump-cancelled on hit and block.

Primarily used to zone and annoy your opponents. It makes the opponent float and eventually knocks them down on CH, so you can combo into this move if you're close enough and begin your offense on your opponent after the knockdown.

Fubuki

Head invincibility starting on frame 5 and lasts through initial active frames. Cannot hit crouchers.
Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul
800 R HL 8 3 33 -17 B 5-9H
  • Cannot hit crouching opponents.
  • Head invuln frames 5-9.

It has a ridiculously large hit-box for its quick start-up, which makes this a pretty decent anti-air, but it's extremely negative on block. While a DP, this one is primarily an anti-air tool rather than a reversal -- Fubuki lacks full-body invincibility but is head invincible beginning frame 5. Thanks to its speed, hitbox, and head invuln frames, it works well as an anti-air, particularly for covering specific angles taken by opponents and against very fast air attacks that can't be answered with 2C. Just make sure the move is at least blocked: on whiff, Jin is vulnerable to a massive punish combo due to the move's lengthy recovery, while on block, you retain the option of Rapid Cancelling to remain safe.

You'll really only use this move if you're paired up with a sandbag since Jin needs all the meter he can get. If you must... it combos from ground throws.


Strategy

Jin is one of those characters that has a tool for almost every situation. Jack of all trades, master of none type of character. He has pretty good poking tools such as 5C, 2D, ,j.C and Fubuki as well as his Ice Blades if he wants to play a zoning game. He has moderately fast normals with good range such as 5B and 2A if he's close to the opponent. You'll want to play him as the match-up dictates, zone against opponents with a weak neutral game (Tager, Kagura) and rush in against opponents with a stronger neutral game (Nu, Rachel).


In any other situation, you'll want to fish for CHs using 5C and j.C, as well as fish for confirms with Ice Blades and 2D. Once you confirm into a combo, you get the options to either finish your combo and knock the opponent down or freeze them and attempt a mix-up.


Jin's basic mix-up options are rather weak. While his 6A is insanely fast, it can't be followed up unless you RC it or land a CH. That which means that Jin must use his Drives in an attempt to mix-up the opponent. However, in the corner you gain the option of jump canceling 5B at the end of a combo; you'll use its vacuum effect to drag the opponent towards you just enough so that you can IAD towards the corner, squeeze in that gap that you just made with the vacuum effect, and attempt a quick cross-up using j.2C. If you have 25 Heat, you can go for TK Hizangeki and use it as an overhead. If you have 50 Heat, you can RC 6A into a full crouching combo.


In short, Jin will be fishing for CHs and confirms with j.C, 5C, Ice Blades, and 2D. He'll want to force the opponent into the corner where he becomes a real threat thanks to Hizangeki and his 5B resets.


Neutral

Use but not abuse Jin's j.C as a poke and an air-to-air. Jin can zone and successfully poke the majority of the cast with j.C because of its insane range and speed. It leads to a nice combo on CH as well. It can be crouched under and punished though, that's why you shouldn't abuse it.


5C and 2D can also be used to poke the opponent but the latter is highly punishable on whiff. You're going to want to use 5C according to the opponent that you're facing. If they have a move that's faster than your 5C at its optimal range then you'll want to refrain from using it too often. 2D needs to be used when you've conditioned the opponent to block it. Some common examples of these scenarios include the 5C > 2D block string, 2D on their neutral wake-up, against a move with a lot of recovery, and as your opponent is falling down. You can just throw it out naked but you have to make sure that the opponent will block it at the very least.


2A has a pretty good hit-box, low profiles under certain moves, and can be used to start pressure. You'll be using this move to poke from time to time.


The Ice Blades are a decent way to try and get a response out of your opponent. You'll mostly be using TK j.236C because it has less recovery than 236A. If the opponent jumps over the TK j.236C and tries to approach you, then you can try to intercept their approach with j.A, j.C, or an air throw depending on the distance between you and your opponent. If the opponent just sits there and blocks it, then you can try and get in. If they IB it, then you have to be careful as to how you want to rush down as you lose a bit of frame advantage. You'll be trying this approach from all the way across the screen as even TK j.236C can be punished with an IAD > air attack.


The Ice Wave super comes in extremely handy against zoners. On reaction, you can stuff things like Rachel's Tempest Dahlia or Lambda's 214D. Outside of that, zoners will have to play a lot more reserved because the Ice Wave will mow down any and every projectile.


Offense

Once you get in, you'll want to start using 2A to pressure. Do 2A x n > dash > 2A x n and see how the opponent reacts to that. If they're mashing A then frame trap them next time with 5C. If they're mashing reversals then bait them next time by simply holding back or jumping. If they're trying to jump away then simply delay your 2As from time to time; the opponent will most likely be hit during the jump start-up and you can hit-confirm from there. That or just do 2A > 2B and the low will connect since they're letting go off down + back in order to jump away.

You'll want to use 2B to reset pressure now that 5B is -6 on block. 2B is -3 but with proper conditioning, you can setup frame-trap and reversal bait scenarios. Other than that, you'll want to use 6B or 2D to reset pressure depending on the distance between you and your opponent. Throw some jump cancels here and there and try to screw with your opponent's head using j.2C.


Since throws, 2B, and 6A can only take you so far when it comes to opening the opponent up, you'll want to use Hizangeki when you have the meter. Performing a TK motion using Hizangeki will give you a 22F overhead that leads to 4K+ in the corner. Canceling 6B before you touch the ground into Hizangeki yields similar results.


Freeze Resets


Another important aspect of Jin's mix-up includes the use of resets. Jin can go for a reset any time he freezes an opponent or after 5B on the ground. From a j.D high in the air you can use a 5B to tag them if they're not holding barrier. The way this works is that you'll most likely be below them when you use j.D, you'll land and have enough time to use 5B for a reset. If they're holding barrier then you can pressure reset. Other than that, you can also run under them after the j.D and attempt a cross-under mix-up with 5B.


From a 6D freeze late in a combo, you can create a scenario where the opponent will have to guess whether to block high, low, or tech a throw. Your options here are jump > air dash > j.B/j.2C, jump > falling j.2C low to the ground for a feint high and then you'll land and do 2B.


Okizeme


Mid-screen, 214B~C Knockdown:

You don't really have many options in terms of catching rolls after this type of knockdown. 2A will act as a meaty if the opponent goes for a neutral tech and will OTG them for a new combo if they try to sneak-in a quick tech. 2A will only catch forward rolls if you were relatively far away from the opponent after the 214B~C knockdown or if they're too slow with their forward roll. There's nothing you can do if the opponent decides to go for a back roll, other than chase after them. The main reason you'll be using this type of combo finisher is because of the Heat gain (+9 on the 2nd hit of 214B~C).


Mid-screen, 22C Stagger

You sacrifice a bit of damage and Heat gain but you lock your opponent down with a stagger. From there you can start some new pressure or go for some high-low or throw mix-up. This is the go-to combo finisher if you absolutely must not allow your opponent any breathing room.


Mid-screen, 3C > 22C Knockdown:

You sacrifice a bit of damage and Heat gain compared to 214B~C and the lockdown from 22C but you carry the opponent further into the screen and closer to the corner. Furthermore, you gain the ability to punish any type of roll after this type of knockdown. After the 22C, you need to run up to the opponent and use 5B if you suspect a forward roll. If they neutral tech, it will act as a meaty and if they roll forward they'll get caught. If you suspect that they will roll backwards then run up to them and use 5C, the 5C will act as a meaty and catch the back roll for huge damage.


Corner, 22C Knockdown

The standard combo finisher in the corner. All you have to do is jump and use j.2C low to the ground to use it as a meaty, to catch forward rolls, and to safe jump reversals.


Corner, j.214C Knockdown

This type of knockdown is only used if you go into the damage route in a corner combo. Your best option here is to go for run-up 2A which will act as a meaty and if timed correctly it will tag the opponent out of a forward roll. The opponent will not be able to roll out of the corner because you'll body block them as you go for the run-up 2A.



Defense

Jin has some pretty decent defensive tools with Yukikaze, DP D, DP B, 2A, and 2C.


Yukikaze is better used against your opponent's pokes where you're out of your opponent's throw range. If you read a poke or wanna be flashy with a reversal kill, then use Yukikaze. It can also be used to escape projectile oki scenarios such as Rachel's frog, Makoto's orb, or Kagura's orb. Yukikaze truly shines as an escape tool when Carl or Relius use their Rhapsody of Memories/Duo Bios super to force you to block. Not only will you be able to dodge the dolls trying to lock you down because of Yukikaze's invulnerability but Carl and Relius will be forced to find a way to dodge Yukikaze, and a simple super jump > double jump won't cut it. That's because when Jin hits any of the dolls with Yukikaze, it extends the active frames considerably.


DP D is your go-to reversal; it has amazing range and the second hit can be charged up and released at any time in order to screw with your opponent trying to dodge it or punish it. You should only use DP C if you get a really good read on your opponent; it has horrible horizontal range, speed, and gives the opponent all the time in the world to punish you with their best combo starter.


As far as anti-airs go, you have Fubuki, 2A, and 2C. Fubuki is extremely fast, has pretty good reach, and has head invulnerability starting on frame 4 but it's negative on block and punishable on whiff. 2A shrinks Jin's hurt-box and allows him to low profile under a few jump-in attacks. 2C has an insane vertical reach and has head invulnerability starting on frame 9 but it has a slow, 17F start-up and a ton of recovery on whiff.


Combos

Combo Notation Guide:
> = cancel into the next attack
, = link the next attack after preceding move's recovery
jc = jump cancel
hjc = high jump cancel
dc = dash cancel
(N) = only use the Nth attack of the move (for example, if 5D(1) is written, you only use the first hit of 5D)
(move) = whatever's listed in the parentheses is optional
If you have notations that are not listed here but are necessary, feel free to add them as you see fit.

Midscreen

This combo section is designed on a "move starter" basis. However, you can use whatever kind of organization you prefer, as long as it is readable and efficient.

*insert move name* Starter
Notes: In case these combos need notes. If they do not, you can remove this line.
Point 1

  • move > move > special >> special NOTE: this is only a base. your combos do not have to follow this format.
Requirements: -- (ex: 50 heat, Overdrive, crouching opponent. if no requirements, leave as is)
Damage: ----, Heat Gain: --
+ move = Damage: ----, Heat Gain: -- NOTE: if a necessary combo is very similar to a previous one, you can add options like this.
Notes: Write notes for the combo if necessary.

Point 2


Copy and paste the code from Point 1 to Point 2 as many times as you need to.
