Introduction

Jin is a Japanese martial arts fighter, and the former #2 apprentice to Hoi. He joined the tournament to test his skills and prove he is the strongest.

Gameplay

Jin is a pretty well rounded shoto-type fighter, with a few tricks up his sleeve. Several of his low attacks can hit twice, but due to there being no combos, they're more of a liability than anything. But he doesn't really need good lows, he has other ways of opening up defensive opponents. Most notably his Dragon Punch-like attack is not an invincible reversal like usual, but rather a threatening unblockable attack if done in the opponent's face. Jin starts fights unarmed, but if he ever gets a weapon, his already nice high/mid pokes become extremely difficult to get around, boasting both great speed and range. Using them in combination with his fireball if the opponent hesitates is a great strategy.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Has strong H and M pokes which get even more dangerous if he can get his hands on a weapon. 623H is unblockable up close, it can be used almost like a throw. j.H has two hits and is thus both great at anti-airing and jumping in.	His 5L & 2L moves have two hits, but they can't combo, are very spread out, and often punishable, making low attacks dangerous to attempt. Isn't particularly outstanding in any category.
