ngl, when I heard how he got streamlined in 8, I was kinda disappointed There was something satisfying about finally figuring out a hard to learn character not easy for beginners back in 7 but the more I played him, the more I get it, still tons of depth to be explored and Devilster definitely helped showed that Tekken 8 Jin is genuinely my favourite fighting game character
He’s a Mishima, he’s the main character, he’s well rounded in terms of gameplay and has all of his bases covered. He’s not as difficult to learn than he was in Tekken 7 and he believes in his heart
All true. Tekken’s golden boy. A Mishima at heart whether Jin himself likes it or not, the main guy, and he seems to possess all the tools to beat anyone. Tekken’s true golden boy.
@@TheGamerCoop230 idk if there’s some non mirror match bias, but in purp/ me not playing Jin he’s superrr common. Like in a couple hours of ranked a day: guaranteed a couple
Do one Electric Wind Hook Fist then other moves. Perfect a string- perfect the EWHF.. Then work on the EWHF- 3 consecutive EWHF’s.. Then, keep going until you can do it by muscle memory.
Been playing Jin since 1998, got pictures of me as a kid with a controller in my hands playing Tekken 3 with my friends. Played him in Tekken 4, kept playing him in Tekken 5 which I mostly played on psp, I was so mad when I played 6 and had to basically complete the story to play as him in the story. I mained Jin/Lee in tag 2, I loved his buffs in 7 and now I’m just steamrolling people with 26 years of knowledge on this character in Tekken 8 now. Down 2 is fucking broken and launch on non electric WHF is insane to me. Hopefully y’all don’t abuse this guy so bad that they nerf my lifelong homie.
I play him because whenever I play a new fighting game I just look for the Ryu of (insert game title here) to learn fundamentals and unique game mechanics in a familiar way
There’s 2 type of people that play characters: Those that play a character because they are easy/look like Ryu/Scorpion of Tekken/they are very strong And those that play a character because he looks badass/they are inspired by his identity/understand the lore and can see themselves or part of themselves in the character/fun to play compared to another
I've spent over 200 hours on Tekken 8 currently, a majority of that time has been using Jin and learning him. He's such a blast to play and i still have lots to learn
As a Jin main, I’ve been maintaining him since T7 and I’m satisfied how his new move set is Jin will always be og Tekken main. Reina being my new fav newcomer to main
Omen stance in heat is reslly cool imo. I love pulling it out when my opponent least expects it, and i have the option to mix up between hellsweep and eletrics.
Another thing is that Jin has many routes he can be taken in, whether that be zen canceling, play him like a Mishima, or just using his general moves, he’s got so much different play styles.
he is the protagonist right now in this installment ofc everyone who played the story giving him the spotlight popularity for obvious reasons he is easy to use very fun i think because of the way how they design his combo is super cool especially omen stance for me the way they design his combo mostly full of electrics and electrics and easy b 3 to zen follow up he is very flashly on his combos reminds me of kazuya how they design his combo in tekken 7 he almost feels like devs wanting him to be the *Ryu of this Game* he is one of the poster boy for tekken alongside with his old man so for me he is cool i played him since tekken 3 and him granting an omen stance feels like t3 jin without wings also nice jacket
They made him extremely easy and gave him a ton of strong mixup options. He can also just skip neutral with demon paw. New players can pick up Jin with about half the effort it used to take. That’s the main reason.
Been Jin main my whole life, and to be honest I was a bit dissapointed in him in tekken 8 at first. But as time went on and I learnt more about his design in tekken 8, I can now safely say he is better than ever, and your video just gave me another perspective on it. He was easy at first but his max damage combos still depend on micro dashes which arent easy.Well done!
Jin is top 1 in fujin and above popularity, not because he's more accessible, but because he has a Samsara and fast armor HE in the same stance. He have a dragunov d2 ch launcher that cant be launched on block as a neutral tool(which is crazy, since is fast). Jin is cracked with good okizeme options (ending combos with 1 3~3 to wavedash 1 guaranteed against anything besides UP TAPPING, which is fucking weird to do). Not saying that he is BROKEN, but he is definitely stronger than most of the cast, having access to an strong 50/50(which is the core of this game, as it seems), good fast pokes with great rewards, and strong defensive options is kind of crazy to me... you need to have one of this options shaved off.
On top of that, don't forget they also buffed a lot his jab range, one of his T7 weaknesses. At this point I don't even know why he still has an i14 WS launcher.
Jin’s been my main sense my first tekken which was Tekken 4, this is just the first tekken I’ve taken more seriously as i understand a lot more then I did when I was younger. I love Jin’s combos in this game just adding a electric to each combo and making it to the wall guarantees 90 dmg
I liked jin all the way back from tekken 3 but my God his animations in this game are off the charts. By far the best looking fighting style and the animations flow so smoothly into each other
I chose jin in t7 bc of his looks and karate. I knew he was hard to play in ranks bc you couldnt just button mash. The main reason i chose him was to get out of the habit of panic button mashing and using skill to win. Although im not a fan of t8 jin tbh but thats my boy ride or die
I used to play Jin in tekken 3. I didn’t like his changes in tekken 4 and every game I give him a little go then I drop him. This game, Jin is SO good. And it’s actually not just his accessibility it’s actually his kit options. He is SO diverse. When I’m playing Hwoarang I have mix ups and a throw game and a few good crushes but my approach’s are still similar With Jin I have good pokes, f4 gives me a stance off a poke with a great low mid and even a high that goes into red eyes, I have a great hell sweet then I have a launch off the same dash if they’re getting reads off my sweet, I have several excellent launches, a really good power crush, excellent wall carry, loads of strong pressure, 3 very good mix ups for pressure with 134 and 2144 and so on Oh and he has a whole throw game with uf 1+2 and df 2+3. Not to mention two parry options With other characters when I’m losing I often feel like “damn this is a brick wall how to I get around it” but with Jin I have like 3 or 4 approaches every time I can take. So diverse. So clear. So easy to access all the tools. Jin absolutely won me over in tekken 8
1-2 months in and we finally talk about how good Jin’s design is! I’ve always been so afraid to pick up a Mishima archetype until Jin in T8. Making him more accessible and adding ANOTHER sick and complex Mishima in Reina is just a genuinely smart decision. It makes for a natural progression for people who start with Jin either stick with him and learn how powerful he is when you master EDGW, moves into EDGW wave dash mixups and his crazy good and safe pokes, or to pivot if they want to into Kazuya and Reina- being able to clear the skill floor with their knowledge in playing as Jin.
I love Jin's character and am really glad they made him more accessible in this game. His moveset feels very akin to SNK's Rock Howard, with more flare, I think? Adds that whole coolness factor. And yeah, I agree, about his heat being underwhelming. Another aspect they could have done better is his Rage art. I mean sure, it looked cool when I saw it the first time with that State of Play trailer, but after everyone's Rage art got revealed, compared to most other characters Rage arts in the roster, Jin's Rage art just looks.......bland if I'm being honest.
Yeah I've seen a ton of people agree with you on his rage art. Personally I actually kinda like it but I think that's just because I associate it with the hype of the reveal trailer
flashy, has basically no weakness, great heat burst, not too hard to play, gets you far even w/o electrics and wave dash, is main character, is hot. I'm not surprised.
Im not going to lie but jin getting easier scares me for certain characters we saw it with law his dss no longer takes execution like jin has all of his tools built in now but that doesn’t means hes not at least difficult he no longer that super hard character he’s now just intermediate to get into, but jin getting easier scares me cause i dont want to see characters like devil jin kazuya bryan, lee or steve get easy thats what makes tekken so fun the hard characters that are in the game they just keep you interested cause of how difficult they but how rewarding they are to play, i actually dislike he got easy but he’s also the main character so i understand it but it is annoying.
What annoying as a jin main is that even people with no knwolege of the game know all of your move but sometime you dont know everyone of thier like eddy cause i didnt buy dlc to train againt him
Yeah, probably he is the best ever in terms of design for newcomers, cause he organically introduces almost every aspect of the game whenever you are ready to. But I was already at the stage when you are optimizing everything, doing hardest possible combo conversions and having fun. Now you can't have THAT levels of character enthusiast's fun you got with him in T7. I've almost abandoned him in T8.
@@versatilelord8893 yeah I was making a totally subjective point bro, all good. Btw costumization only makes a character look worse to me, with all that gimmicky stuff. The ways to actually make a character look better are limited.
He was my main since his introduction in Tekken 3 but along the way i tried playing other characters too like Paul and Dragunov.Currently Dragunov is my main and Paul and Jin are my subs but i am honestly thinking of playing more with him since he is abit easier now.
I do miss the stylish stuff we can do in T7 with Jon oki but Tekken 8 is as you def been made easier to pick up, and that unfortunately took a bit out of his ability to be more stylish. I like him and don’t and it’s my main so I can’t complain I’m still kicking ass with him.
He's now easy, top tier and master of all (upgraded from being a jack of all trades). The reason is pretty obvious. Being the main character is the cherry on top. I disagree that d2 being reactable will phase it out, considering its only -14 when it should be launch punishable based on its move archetype and properties. Jin's other moves such as the divekicks and his other T8 buffs give him incredible leverage over areas he didnt have in T7. I think after Azucena, Feng, and Drag fade away Jin will surface over the rest as the go-to stable pick.
Def a smart move on their part especially new players that just got into tekken and just finished the main story. Obviously most of us or going to want to main the protagonist after that
Jin doesn't have a lot of stuff in heat because he is pretty insane without heat. If he had bullshit in heat, he would be OP and S tier. I actually like that a single character is not mega heat heavy and that you can play him fully without heat and do funny omen shenanigans in heat etc
Do we need to increase his play rate any more? Feels like his lacklustre heat is an obvious choice so that he doesn’t get everything. Only opinion there are plenty of characters who deserve a buff before we start talking about Jin.
I find it very confusing when high level players say stuff like Jin is easy mode. Like I get it, Jin has been very simplified compared to T7, but if your going to throw Jin into a tier list he is very much a intermediate character, for the sole reason that he is easy to learn hard to master like you said. And I don't even play Jin.
As a Jin main they killed my soul when they made him easier. But to say he's easy mode is a bit of a stretch when theyall pick dragonov xioayu and azucena in tournaments. Cant be that easy
what is this guy talking about Jin "Getting lost w the other characters in his heat?" His heat is ridiculously strong esp if u back the opponents to a wall. He gets access to Devil Jin's hellsweep and Godfist. Insane options off the heat he is NOT lost in heat. He is in fact the strongest character in the game
What do you guys think of Jin In TEKKEN 8?
lobotomy character
ngl, when I heard how he got streamlined in 8, I was kinda disappointed
There was something satisfying about finally figuring out a hard to learn character not easy for beginners back in 7
but the more I played him, the more I get it, still tons of depth to be explored and Devilster definitely helped showed that
Tekken 8 Jin is genuinely my favourite fighting game character
Despise him
Gas and accessable
Keeps my hands busy till my actual main is announced
He’s a Mishima, he’s the main character, he’s well rounded in terms of gameplay and has all of his bases covered. He’s not as difficult to learn than he was in Tekken 7 and he believes in his heart
Never forget to believe in your heart
@@Boogard Instructions unclear and didn't believe in my heart. Now I'm a Dragunov main.

@@JamazedInstructions unclear, believed in the heart of the guy telling me to believe in my heart, now im a Leroy main 😭
Namco’s biggest mistake in Tekken 8 was buffing Devilster 😂
It feels like I fight Jin all day, and they can all play differently. He seems super flexible with how they want to approach offense or defense.
I barely run into Jin, is it because I play Jin?

Oh man, my wrist hurts less playing him in 8 than in 7.
On the xbox controller and my fingers hurt from the electrics😂
Same on ps5 controller 😂@@AKTalal
Just practice those during your warm ups:).
Do one Electric Wind Hook Fist then other moves.
Perfect a string- perfect the EWHF..
Then work on the EWHF- 3 consecutive EWHF’s..
Then, keep going until you can do it by muscle memory.
The only problem with tekken 8 jin is his story rage art looks better than the normal one
Yeah I wish we could switch it
Agreed. That might be the hardest hitting electric I’ve ever seen
I love his rage art but would be cool :)
Jins won me over in story mode, that’s why I decided to main him. Interested to see him in T9 with out the devil gene power

Super respectable
Smort.
It's really refreshing seeing some positive takes on changes made between games.
His moves has phantom range moves that needs to be fixed
Jin is more honest then people think, i dont know how people hate fighting him when azucena is in the game
I take a sigh of relief every time I run into a jin or kazuya in ranked
I think he’s extremely and annoying and I honestly wouldn’t call anyone honest in tekken 8 besides maybe Bryan and Paul

I play as Jin because I want to live.
They made him extremely easy and gave him a ton of strong mixup options. He can also just skip neutral with demon paw. New players can pick up Jin with about half the effort it used to take. That’s the main reason.
When I press a move he does kind of what I think the move should be AKA back kick is like a round kick where other characters don't have that

That is like saying you were a National Socialist during 1943 Germany. Not a good look 👎.
He’s the poster boy of the game 🤷 and been on the front cover for the series for many years of the series
As a Jin main I kinda hate he’s becoming more popular these past few weeks
Every other move is safe on block. 💯
He's now easy, top tier and master of all (upgraded from being a jack of all trades). The reason is pretty obvious. Being the main character is the cherry on top. I disagree that d2 being reactable will phase it out, considering its only -14 when it should be launch punishable based on its move archetype and properties. Jin's other moves such as the divekicks and his other T8 buffs give him incredible leverage over areas he didnt have in T7. I think after Azucena, Feng, and Drag fade away Jin will surface over the rest as the go-to stable pick.
His combos are so much flashier now!
*Proceeds to show the previous game in a worse resolution and sub-30fps frame rate*

He's the good guy. Period
I always miss B 3 F 1. This should have been made easy for Jin.
0:18 I gotta be honest, I'm very surprised Lili and Law are so lowly placed and even more surprised that Feng isn't even on the list
Probably because he's using more Mishima esque techniques and is combining it with Kazama techniqes.
Banger vid
What if they make all of the moves in the end of story mode available to him during heat?
Our boy Jin is the best. Great body, boring personality but mysterious.
And has the best style.
He will leave you blocking for 3 rounds straight
Shout out to jin specialist devilster
Jin always been my main
I usually stumbled upon Dragunov and Victor a lot
Jin players only appeared once or twice during my sitting
In my experience, I've been matched with Jin, Devil Jin, Kazuya, and King a lot. 🤣
Maybe because he's the main character. 💡
How is Blud fighting with that Hair in his eyes
And then there's me. Lili. She's soooo customizable (costumes)
80% of them just d 1+2, ff 2, and hop kick
He is popular because the character design is cool. Simple as that.
Def a smart move on their part especially new players that just got into tekken and just finished the main story. Obviously most of us or going to want to main the protagonist after that
Jin doesn't have a lot of stuff in heat because he is pretty insane without heat. If he had bullshit in heat, he would be OP and S tier. I actually like that a single character is not mega heat heavy and that you can play him fully without heat and do funny omen shenanigans in heat etc
But I kinda like the idea to some degree that they made Tekken mainline character hard its kinda unique and iconic to the series.
Do we need to increase his play rate any more? Feels like his lacklustre heat is an obvious choice so that he doesn’t get everything.
Only opinion there are plenty of characters who deserve a buff before we start talking about Jin.
Awesome video. great argument.
Thanks!
I find it very confusing when high level players say stuff like Jin is easy mode. Like I get it, Jin has been very simplified compared to T7, but if your going to throw Jin into a tier list he is very much a intermediate character, for the sole reason that he is easy to learn hard to master like you said. And I don't even play Jin.
As a Jin main they killed my soul when they made him easier. But to say he's easy mode is a bit of a stretch when theyall pick dragonov xioayu and azucena in tournaments. Cant be that easy
what is this guy talking about Jin "Getting lost w the other characters in his heat?" His heat is ridiculously strong esp if u back the opponents to a wall. He gets access to Devil Jin's hellsweep and Godfist. Insane options off the heat he is NOT lost in heat. He is in fact the strongest character in the game
He does everything really well, combos are dumb easy and do giant damage. What’s not to like?
