READ FIRST: The combo list does not account for every possible variations, ideally it will contain more practical, useful and/or optimal combos at Jin's disposal. It goes without saying but learning by heart every single route listed is absolutely not necessary.

Meterless A Starters

Note: 5A and 2A are both interchangeable as starters in most scenarios unless specified otherwise.

Combo	Position	Damage	Meter Gain	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes
2A > 5B > 2B > 5C > 3C > 214B~C	Anywhere	1872	13	Everyone	[1] Very Easy	BNB combo. 5B(2) whiffs on Noel and Makoto if far.
2A > 5B > 5C > 2C > 3C > 214B~C	Anywhere	2046	14	Everyone	[1] Very Easy	Alternative BNB combo, 2C can whiff if too far.
2A > 5B > 5C > 6B > dl. j.214C ▷ 662B > 5C > sjc > j.2C > j.C > j.D ▷ 22C > 3C > 214B~C	Anywhere	2911	20	Everyone	[2] Easy	Standard crouch confirm route.
2A > 5B > 5C > 6C > 2D > 665C > 2C > (dl.) 6C > 214B(w)~C > 662B > 5B > 22C	Midscreen	2764	19	Everyone	[3] Medium	Alternative crouch confirm, particularly useful if Jin is too far away from the opponent to allow 6B to connect.
2A > 5B > 5C > 6C > 2D > IAD > j.B > j.2C ▷ 623C > 665B > 22C	Anywhere	2601	18	Everyone	[4] Hard	Utility crouch confirm route, useful for sideswitching anywhere on screen. If done right, the 623C input will have to be mirrored.
2A > 5C > 2C > 6C > 2D > 6622C > 6C > 2D > sjc > j.2C > j.C > jc > j.2C > j.C > j.214C	Midscreen	3149	21	Everyone	[3] Medium	Maximum damage variant of the alternative crouch confirm, can be quite tricky and is generally not worth doing despite the damage increase unless the corner is reached as it is otherwise a return to neutral.
2A > 5C > 2C > 6B > dl. j.214C ▷ 662B > 5C > sjc > j.2C > j.C > j.D ▷ 22C > 6B > Max dl. j.214C ▷ 3C > 623C	Anywhere	3157	22	Everyone	[3] Medium	Ideal damage optimal variant of the standard routing.
2A > 5B > 623B > (66)9j.C > j.2C > jc > j.2C > j.D ▷ 22C > 3C > 214B~C	Corner	2689	19	Everyone	[2] Easy	Standard variant of the corner combo, if not directly in the corner it might be necessary to perform a microdash after 623B.
2A > 5C > 623B > 669j.C > j.2C > jc > j.2C > j.D ▷ 22C > 6B > Max dl. j.214C > 3C > 214B~C	Corner	3028	21	Everyone	[3] Medium	Higher damage alternative, will always require a microdash jump after 623B and it will be quite unreliable if Jin isn't point blank, particularly so on crouching hits.
2A > 5B > 3C > 623B > 623C > 5B(1) > 5C > 2C > 6C > 6D > 22C > 22C > 3C > 623C	Corner	2977	20	Everyone*	[3] Medium	Alternative route utilising 623B > 623C, *incredibly unreliable if not directly in the corner unless an instant microdash 6623C is performed which can be very tricky to do.
2A > 5C > 3C > 623B > 623C > 5B(1) > 5C > 2C > 6C > 6D > 22C > 22C > 3C > 623C	Corner	3118	21	?	[3] Medium	Ideal maximum damage route, even more unreliable as 5C will push Jin out further from the corner which will require an instant microdash 6623C to be done on more characters compared to 2A > 5B.
2A > 5C > 6C > 6D > (6)6C > 6D > 5C > 5C > 2C > sjc > j.2C > j.C > jc > j.2C > j.C > j.214C	Corner	3147	22	Everyone	[3] Medium	Corner crouch confirm. Instead of 2C > sjc it is possible to perform 2C > 6C > 5B > 22C for slightly more damage (3174 damage with 22 heat gain).
AA 5A > jc > j.A > j.B > j.2C > jc > j.2C > j.D ▷ 22C > 3C > 214B~C	Anywhere	2239	16	Everyone	[2] Easy	Most basic AA 5A combo that will work at most heights at which the opponent is hit, will also work from a 2A.
AA 2A > 5B > 5C > 2C > sjc > j.2C > j.D ▷ 22C > 3C > 214B~C	Anywhere	2672	19	Everyone	[2] Easy	More ideal AA routing, might be wiser to perform 5B(1) as it is more stable for slightly less damage.
AA 2A > 5C > 2C > sjc > j.2C > j.D ▷ 22C > 6B > Max dl. j.214C ▷ 3C > 214B~C	Anywhere	2970	21	Everyone	[2] Easy	Even more damaging route, needs the opponent to be hit low enough.
AA 2A > 5C > 2C > dl. 6C > 214B(w)~C > 662B > 5C > sjc > j.2C > j.C > j.D > 22C > 6B > Max dl. j.214C ▷ 3C > 623C	Anywhere	3277	23	Everyone	[3] Medium	Needs the opponent to be hit very low to the ground otherwise it won't be possible to delay the 6C without it whiffing.
AA 2A > 5C > 2C > 623C > 5B > 5C > 2C > sjc > j.2C > j.D ▷ 22C > 6B > Max dl. j.214C > 3C > 623C	Corner	3365	23	Everyone	[3] Medium	Needs the opponent to be hit as high as possible to still allow 5C to connect. Can potentially be done midscreen as well but it is unreliable and requires a 665B.
CH 6A > 5C > 6B > dl. j.214C ▷ 662B > 5C > sjc > j.2C > j.C > j.D ▷ 22C > 3C > 214B~C	Anywhere	3395	24	Everyone	[2] Easy	Standard CH 6A confirm.
CH 6A > 5C > 6B > dl. j.214C ▷ 662B > 5C > 2C > sjc > j.2C > j.D ▷ 22C > 6B > Max dl. j.214C ▷ 3C > 623C	Anywhere	3473	24	Everyone	[3] Medium	Slightly more optimised damage variant.

Note: 5A and 2A are both interchangeable as starters in most scenarios unless specified otherwise. Avoid spending meter on 5A/2A starters ever unless the combo guarantees a kill.

Combo	Position	Damage	Meter Gain	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes
2A > 5C > 3C > 214D > 6B > dl. j.214C ▷ 662B > 5C > 2C > sjc > j.2C > j.C > jc > j.2C > j.C > j.214C	Anywhere	2931	-13	Everyone	[2] Easy	Standard Ex-Icecar route, can be done with 18 starting heat.
2A > 5C > 214D > 22C > 6B > dl. j.214C ▷ 662B > 5C > jc > j.2C > j.C > jc > j.2C > j.C > j.214C	Anywhere	2999	-13	Everyone	[2] Easy	More damaging variant. Can be done with 21 starting heat.
2A > 5C > 3C > 214D > 22C > 6C > 2D > sjc > j.2C > j.C > jc > j.2C > j.C > j.214C	Midscreen	3068	-11	Everyone	[3] Medium	Simple route although the 2D > sjc can be a bit finnicky. Can be done with 18 starting heat.
2A > 5C > 3C > 236D > 66 dl. 2C > 623C > 665C > 2C > 6C > 214B~C > 662B > 5B > 22C	Anywhere	3206	-11	Everyone	[4] Hard	Advanced route providing good corner carry and oki, ideally the 2C is delayed until the third hit of 236D. Can be done with 18 starting heat.
2A > 5C > 2C > 3C > 22C~D > 665C > 2C > sjc > j.2C > j.C > jc > j.2C > j.C > j.214C	Anywhere	3235	-8	Everyone	[2] Easy	Very easy route that allows for a sideswitch, beware that 22C will whiff if Jin isn't very close to the opponent, skipping 2C or even 3C may be necessary. Possible with 12 starting heat if the original sequence is followed.
2A > 5C > 2C > 3C > 623D > 662C > jc > j.2C > j.C > jc > j.2C > j.C > j.214C	Corner	3255	-12	Everyone	[3] Medium	Pretty standard way of utilising Ex-DP in the corner, microdashing the 2C makes the route more reliable. Can be done with 15 starting heat.
2A > 5C > 623D > (66)2C > 6C > 6D > 5C > jc > j.C > j.2C > jc > j.C > j.2C > j.214C	Corner	3460	-10	Everyone	[3] Medium	Not a particularly complicated combo but it is very prone to dropping. Doing j.C after the first jump cancel is necessary as j.2C is not fast enough, alternatively j.B > j.C can be used instead for slightly less damage (3361 damage with -11 heat gain). Can be done with 21 starting heat.
2A > 5C > 2C > 6C > [CT] > (66)5C* > 2C > 6C > 6D > 22C > 6B > Max dl. j.214C ▷ 3C > 623C	Corner	3651	-6	See Notes	[2] Easy	Crouch confirm route in the corner, *[CT] > 5C will not work on Izayoi, Izanami and Platinum which means [CT] > (66)2C has to be used instead for slightly less damage (3593 damage with -8 heat gain). Can be done with 15 starting heat.
2A > 5C > 3C > 632146D RC > 66A > 66 > (dl.) 5C > 2C > 623C > 665B > 22C	Anywhere	4148	-97	Everyone	[4] Hard	Kill combo on standing opponents, possible with 93 starting heat. Run until Jin is under the opponent after 6A and delay 5C if necessary. The delay on 5C is mandatory in the corner. It is possible to get 6C > 623C, if the opponent is hit low enough in the air (4289 damage and -96 heat gain).
2A > 5C > 2C > 6B > dl. j.214C ▷ 662B > 5C > sjc > j.2C > j.C > j.D ▷ 22C > 6B > Max dl. j.214C > (66)3C > 632146D > 66632146C	Midscreen	4423	-100	Everyone	[4] Hard	Crouch confirm kill combo possible with 79 starting heat, ideally done midscreen without the corner being reached otherwise 632146C will end up dealing less damage or not work. Microdashing 632146C is a necessity.
6A RC > 5C > 6B > dl. j.214C ▷ 662B > 5C > sjc > j.2C > j.C > j.D ▷ 22C > 3C > 214B~C	Anywhere	3331	-38	Everyone	[2] Easy	Basic 6A RC combo, easy to hitconfirm in to and it will work from 46 starting heat.
6A RC > 5C > 2C > 6B > dl. j.214C ▷ 662B > 5C > 2C > sjc > j.2C > j.D ▷ 22C > 6B > Max dl. j.214C ▷ 3C > 623C	Anywhere	3545	-38	Everyone	[3] Medium	"Wishconfirm" route, incredibly hard to properly hitconfirm for this route as it basically requires an incredibly quick 6A RC as it would otherwise not work properly.
CH 6A > 665C > 3C > 623B > (6)623C > 5B(1) > 5C > 2C > 6C > 6D > 22C > 6B > j.214C ▷ 632146C > 3C > 632146D	Corner	4896	-100	See Notes	[4] Hard	Meter dump damage route possible with 75 starting heat, on some characters it will be necessary to either do an instant microdash 6623C or perform 663C > 623B instead for slightly less damage (4824 damage with the route being possible with 76 starting heat instead). 632146C > 3C will not work in the corner on Ragna, Amane, Noel, Tsubaki and Naoto.

5BC 66 > 5C > 2C > 623C > 665B(1) > 5C > dl. 2C > dl. 6C > 214B(w)~C > 662B > 22C	Anywhere	3154	22	Everyone	[3] Medium	Harder confirm that ends in a better oki scenario anywhere. Dash cancel and do 5C as soon as possible.

5BC 66 > 22C > 6C > 6D, 5B > 5C > 2C > sjc > j.C > j.2C > jc > j.2C > j.C > j.214C	Corner	3349	24	Everyone	[1] Very Easy	Easy corner combo, works if a bit off the corner as well.

5BC 66 > 22C > 6C > 6D, > 5C > 2C > sjc > j.2C > j.C > jc > j.2C > j.632146D	Corner	3869	-22	Everyone	[3] Medium	Requires 50 heat (28 starting heat). Standard corner throw combo ending in super.
