Combo Theory

Jin's combos, at their core, are pretty simple. Keep opponents grounded as long as possible with his A and B Smart Combos before using 5BBB to launch them into the air. Jump cancel it and use his air B normals, cancel those with a double jump and use j.C, then end with either Hizangeki (meterless) or Hiyoku Getsumei (2 bars). The main reason Jin wants to keep opponents grounded is that he must spend resources to do rejump combos (either with Hishousetsu or an assist), so once Jin launches the opponent with 5BBB he has very few options left to continue his combo. Starting with jump-in overheads or jabs is optional but they will decrease the final damage and metergain of a combo.


Thus, most combos will go like this:

(j.A or j.B) > (4A or 2A) > 5AA > 5BBB > 2B > sjc > j.BB > djc > j.B > j.C > j.214B


When it comes to more advanced combos, Jin players must understand how his drive works and how it can allow him to squeeze out every drop of hitstun from a combo. Frost End attacks can completely freeze foes for a short period of time (which ignores the state of the combo timer) and they also restand opponents which makes it easy for Jin to reuse his most damaging attacks (like his grounded Smart Combos). However, Jin has very few Frost End attacks and only one of them (5AAAA) works mid-combo and it requires a strict selection of assists and precise timing to work. Thus, he relies on his Frostbite drive attacks to improve his general combos. These attacks add a guaranteed amount of hitstun that ignores normal combo scaling, making them invaluable at the end of longer combos. Most of them are special moves that need to be used in particular ways to continue combos (example listed below) so Jin cannot reliably abuse them to ignore hitstun scaling. The few normals he has with this trait are locked behind non-Frost attacks, meaning that they cannot be used effectively at the end of long combos. The main exception to all these rules is j.C, which is a moderately fast normal with good damage and decent range, making it a vital piece of almost all of Jin's combos.


Example of Jin's air Hishougeki corner loop using Frostbite property to extend combos:

5AA > 5BBB > jc > j.C > j.236B > j.C > j.236B > j.C > j.214B

Note: Jin lands and jumps again after each Hishougeki.
