Backstory

Jin is one of the main characters of BlazBlue, younger brother of the main protagonist Ragna the Bloodedge, and the wielder of the Nox Nyctores weapon "Yukianesa." After Yuuki Terumi's attack on Jin and Ragna's childhood household which left them seperated, Jin was found and adopted by the prestigious Kisaragi family. As a teenager in the NOL Military Academy, Jin was popular and stoic, being seen as a model student by all. Jin is a very composed person that usually acts somewhat cold when interacting with others, but deep down is secretly competitive, ambitious, and yearns for emotional attachment. Though usually disinterested in others, he has opened himself up on occasion to become friends with former classmates at the Academy, holding a particular soft spot toward Tsubaki Yayoi, Jin's long-time childhood friend and currently his personal secretary. Now called the "Hero of Ikagura," Jin has become an esteemed major with his own unit, and is an exceptional soldier, commander and martial artist.

Playstyle

Jin is a very well-rounded rushdown character with a wide variety of tools to handle any situation and conquer the neutral game. His "Hishou-" and "Musou-" ranged options allow him to both poke at and approach his opponents comfortably, while giving him fantastic pressure when up close. Jin's normals and BnB combos also have very solid damage, with his Crash Assault being particularly fast and deceptive. Additionally, Jin has a great set of assists, while also being able to deal with 1v1's and 1v2's relatively comfortably, making him superb as both a Point and an Anchor. Overall, Jin has no outstanding weaknesses besides having slightly lower range on his normals when compared to fighters such as Ruby or Gordeau, but his projectile tools and decent speed generally make up for this trivial flaw.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths

Weaknesses

Great damage overall. Very well-rounded character with standardized attributes that has a tool for almost any situation, giving him a good matchup spread. One of the fastest and least reactable 5C's in the game. His j.C's hitbox covers a circle that surrounds Jin, which is useful for combos and cross-ups. His projectile setups are great for setting up crossups when assaulting your opponent. Solid 5A smart combo that launches Jin's opponent in the opposite direction he was facing, which can help Jin put opponents in the corner. Diverse set of phenomenal assists, allowing him to work well with almost any team member. Large vertical hitboxes on his distortions, with his Touga distortion in particular having very fast startup and little recovery frames. Jin in Level 4 Resonance, combined with his relatively safe ability to apply high chip damage through his Touga distortion, is one of the most dangerous comeback characters in the game. and he can use distortion drive about 3~4 times in his resonance combo. so His resonance combo damage is much higher than other characters.

Somewhat lower range compared to other characters. His "Hishou-" projectiles can disappear from the screen if he gets hit. Costly and difficult-to-wield anti-airs, as his 2B is rather slow, while his primary DP is easily punished on block or whiff. His guard breaking skills are weaker than other characters.

Drive: Frostbite

Jin's drive used to have a system called a "Freeze Count" that limited how many times his drive attacks could encase his opponents in ice. In BBTAG, Frostbite no longer has a freeze count limiter and thus moves that can freeze can do so an unlimited amount of times. In exchange, only a few moves inflict a true frozen state. All other Drive attacks now only have guaranteed hitstun that ignores basic hitstun scaling but is still susceptible to the state of the combo timer. For efficiency's sake, we will call the attacks with the classic freeze effect "Frost End" attacks (named after the overdrive version of Jin's Drive from the mainline BB games) and all other drive using attacks will be referred to by the drive's original name, "Frostbite".

Also whiffs on short character like Linne, even if they aren't crouching. Cancelable into everything, including jumps, throws, and even itself. Old 5A. Jin's fastest button and thus great at disrupting enemy pressure. Can be used as an anti-air thanks to the high placement of its hitbox but this also makes vulnerable low-profiling. After three consecutive 4As, any further A inputs will result in 5A.

5A

5A Doesn't seem like the BBCF 2.0 nerf carried over. No longer a pressure reset tool. Sekkajin Imagine being raw Astral punishable because you sheathe your sword like a tool after you attack.

Inv.The number of frames this attack has invincibility, and what attribute(s) this invincibility applies to. 5A Hits twice. Throw cancelable on either hit. Jump cancelable on hit on either hit. Both hits vacuum opponents. Old 5B. Fast kick that pulls opponents closer to Jin for pressure and mix-ups. Has short range when compared to most other 5As. Second hit whiffs at the first hit's max range. Can cancel into 2A and back, allowing him to use this move twice in the same string. 5AA Has Frostbite properties. Throw cancelable. Old 6D. Jin creates a jagged wall of ice that, thanks to his drive, has high hitstun, making it effective for canceling into slower moves. Has less vertical range than the animation implies. Last point in his A Smart Combo that can cancel into B normals. 5AAA Hits 4 times. Stuns grounded opponents on hit. Launches airborne opponents away on hit. Only cancels into 5AAAA if the final hit connected or was blocked. Old 22C. Jin slashes multiple times at lightning speed before returning his sword to its sheathe. The only normal this move can cancel into is 5AAAA, which makes this move difficult to use in blockstrings. Devastating starter due to its high damage and fantastic scaling. The stun is greatly extended on grounded counter hit, allowing Jin to continue the combo into essentially any attack. This move is also safe on block, making attempts to fish for counter hits very difficult to punish. 5AAAA Has Frost End properties. Hits twice. Second hit only occurs if the first successfully hit the point character. Second hit launches opponents away on hit. Switches sides on both hit and block. Passes through on frames 18-29. Old 22C~D. Jin dashes through the opponent and freezes them with a slash from his sword. Upon sheathing his blade, the opponent is broken out the ice. This is a good combo ender due to it's high damage, good scaling, quick start-up, and safe-jump oki when the opponent is launched into the corner. Very easy to extend via assists thanks to the full freeze on hit, though note that the opponent is invincible until they thaw out so make sure to time assist properly. Hilariously unsafe on block or whiff so only use this move in combos. Must be canceled into immediately after the final hit of Sekkajin or this move will fail to come out.

Jin's primary tool for pokes and starting punish combos thanks to this attack's great range and fantastic scaling. Used in essentially every combo and blockstring. 5BB Has Frostbite properties. Old 5D. Jin thrusts out his hand and creates a lion's head out of ice. The lastest move Jin can cancel into while still being safe on block so stop here if you think the opponent is trying to reversal out of pressure. 5BBB Jump cancelable on hit. Launches opponent on hit. Old 6C. Jin holds his blade in a reverse grip and slashes upward, back facing the enemy. Jin's only grounded normal launcher and his primary tool for starting air combos. Can anti-air opponents thanks to its large hitbox but this is difficult to do as it is only usable after 5BB.

On standing hit, leads into a timed follow-up. Follow-up damage, meter gain, oki, and timing changes if partner is available. Old Crush Trigger. Visually deceptive overhead, since Jin crouches and attacks from below instead of above. Generally not used if an assist is available for setting up jump-ins or picking up opponents after a tiger-kneed Hizangeki. Since he lacks any other grounded overheads and tiger-kneed EX Hizangeki can only lead into a combo if it is done in the corner, Jin must use this universal overhead if he wants to mix-up opponents while he is own his own.

Jin's dedicated anti-air and his out right best due to its humongous hitbox and ability to be made safe via jump cancels. Keep in mind that its horizontal range isn't the greatest, that this move is very unsafe on whiff, and it isn't air unblockable so don't throw out this move without a plan.

Inv.The number of frames this attack has invincibility, and what attribute(s) this invincibility applies to. Hits low. Knockdown on hit. Old 3C. Sword sweep with amazing range that can also low profile many attacks. Can be difficult to use in combos due to Jin lacking any moves that plummet the opponent while also being cancelable. Generally used for long range mix-ups into A Musou Senshouzan for either a short combo or to be safe on block. At the end of highly scaled combos, this move can only combo into either Rehhyou or a super.

Not used in most combos as it deals the least damage out off all his air normals. j.AA Double jump cancelable. Old j.C. Long range and high damage, making it useful in air combos. Stuck behind j.A and j.B, making it difficult to use blockstrings.

Inv.The number of frames this attack has invincibility, and what attribute(s) this invincibility applies to. Forward Back 100% minimum damage. (2000) Has Frost End properties. Holding back while pressing throw results in a back throw. If the opponent is already in throw range, Jin will run a short distance before attempting a throw. Opponents cannot burst during a throw. Jin grabs the opponent and freezes them. The freeze doesn't last long so only moves as fast as his 5B will combo off of it. If the enemy thaws out they will be left in a standing position. This means that this throw can be used to create reset opportunities with lows, overheads, cross-ups, and even another throw. Note that the opponent can reversal through any of these options so consider baiting them or just taking the guaranteed damage via a combo. Both forward and back throws do the same thing with slightly different animations.

Inv.The number of frames this attack has invincibility, and what attribute(s) this invincibility applies to. Invincible from frame 1. Air unblockable. Launches opponents on hit. Cannot Cross Burst if punished. 5% minimum damage. (115) Jin slashes directly above himself. Fully invincible reversal that is also his only air unblockable move, making a good anti-air, even more so if he has assist available for a full combo conversion. However, compared to the rest of the cast this reversal is on the slightly slower side when it comes to start-up time (Shoryuken-esque reversals are usually frame 10 and all counter reversals are frame 1), has hilariously low minimum damage, and has very poor horizontal range. Therefore any reversals with this attack are more likely to be outspaced, safe-jumped, or blocked without the ability to burst the inevitable punish combo. Use Touga Hyojin instead whenever possible as it it significantly more effective. Be aware that this move doesn't have enough guaranteed hitstun to get a knockdown if it hits a high enough airborne opponent at the end of a scaled combo, making oki off this move somewhat inconsistent.

Jin slowly creates then launches a greatsword of ice in front of him, picking up speed as it travels forward. Has very long start-up which makes Jin vulnerable to opponents attacks. Should only be used when an assist is available to cover him or if the opponent lacks any tools to deal with it at full-screen. Generally used to cover Jin's approach and lock-down opponents for mix-ups. Leads directly into a combo on a successful hit. The air version is used as a combo part in corner combos for optimal damage. Example of forcing the opponent to jump

Follow-up attack can be done even if the first whiffs. Can cancel into followup on frames 18-24. Follow-up attack knocks down on hit. Jin rides on a giant icicle which he rams into opponents, following up with a downward slash of his sword. This is his go-to combo ender for ground combos thanks to the follow-up's safe-jump oki. Note that even though the initial hit is done with an ice-based attack, this move lacks the Frostbite trait of his drive. A: The icicle travels a short distance. This is Jin's best special move for mix-ups and ending blockstrings as it is safe on block. B: The icicle travels a slightly longer distance than 'A' version. Has the same start-up as the A version but deals more damage which makes it the best for ending combos. Should never be used for blockstrings as it is unsafe on block and it puts Jin at point-blank range.

Launches on any hit. 10% minimum damage. 100 x 3 = 300. Jin creates a snowflake projectile that hovers in place. It will remain until one of the following conditions are fulfilled; it hits something 3 times, it is hit by a projectile that hits 3 or more times, it has existed for 3 seconds, or if Jin gets hit. Swapping characters won't make it disappear but if Jin is hit as an assist the projectile will still vanish. This is outright the single best tool to spend meter on as it resets pressure, enables free mix-ups, creates sandwich situations, shields Jin from projectiles, and can extend combos. Can be placed in a variety of different positions which can all control space on the screen. On the ground, it forces jumps, denies any lunging attacks or ground dashes, and eats weak projectiles. In the air it can discourage aerial approaches and forces the opponent to play Jin's game of spacing and footsies. Placing it on top of downed characters results in easy oki and so can using it on incoming enemy partners after K.O.ing the point character. The possibilities are endless but Jin's meter is not so don't use this recklessly.

Oddly enough, the initial icicle hit has Frostbite properties while the non-EX versions of this move lack it.

Used primarily for its ability to start solo instant overhead combos in the corner by tiger kneeing this attack and using 2A to pick up the opponent. Outside of that situation, its better to use the regular version to conserve meter.

Inv.The number of frames this attack has invincibility, and what attribute(s) this invincibility applies to. Travels horizontally indefinitely. Good for approaching from long-distance. Tricky assist that can interrupt your opponent's incoming attacks by acting as a pseudo-shield in front of you. One of the best assists in the game because of how much pressure it applies to your opponent and how it can setup into scary pressure when used alongside active switch because of the sort of mixups it can create. Largely of what makes Jin such a great anchor and is an assist that should be abused. Example 1 Example 2
