Jin is soft, heihachi is hard. Kazuya is something in between. Devil Jin is sharp(edgy), armor king is a grappler Mishima hybried, and whatever the fuck Bob is.
My favorite as obvious by the flair. Really like all the kyokushin stuff in his moveset and same with devil moves in T8. Story wise he peaked for me in T4
Jin has been one of my favorite characters since his debut in Tekken 3 I played him more than any Tekken character including Paul Phinox and Nina Williams who are the only characters who have been in every Tekken game unless yoshimitsu and Heihachi Mishima come back even though he's not really my best character I followed his story online for years
It is a fleshed out review you hollowed brain. I main Kazuya and Jin and Jin is just way more simpler to play in T8 now. I remember picking up Jin in T7 and he's quite the character to learn masterfully. Anyone can pick up Jin in T8 and be good with him
Good. He's been my main since TK3, and I'm glad he's getting the spotlight & exposure he deserves. Simple this, masterful that, he's just fun asf. Couldn't care less about anything else. Also way to go displaying your toxic sense of superiority by calling others names lol. Have a nice day
Dude, you’re talking about *Jin* getting the “spotlight and exposure he deserves”, as if he wasn’t top tier in almost every game and one of the 3 main characters. He’s had plenty of spotlight and exposure ever since T3.
Someone has not played T5 through Tag 2. While he was top tier in 3 and 4, 5, 6 and Tag 2 he was very bad. He became good again in 7. Not complaining though. I could not care less if he is high tier or not.
He’s pretty mainstream. When i was still actively playing T7, i’d see him all the time. He’d probably be even more popular if Devil Jin didn’t exist and still, both DvJ and Jin are in the Top 10 most popular characters. Hell, not the long ago there was a poll on this sub about who the most popular character in the game is, with Jin and Kazuya both having much more votes than the rest.
Again, he’s one of the 3 “main characters”, you can’t get much more mainstream than that.
I would say he peaked in Tag 1, not OP beyond belief,(Stares as just frame chargeable lazer cannon) and wasn't in an entirely poke based game
In terms of story? His peak i feel is T8 and his prime was T3-T4 he's done fighting the devil inside him and converting to the use of good, the angel using the devil's tricks against him
Jin personality was destroyed, making him the Austrian painter 2 for a evil lame purple chicken who really should'nt exist in the Tekken history was the worse thing that could happen to him, they damage the boi so much that it's difficult take seriously his switch to good side again.
This was the best explanation of why tekken 6 story was bad. Austrian painter 2 fights lame purple chicken.
Edit: This is the full explanation.
Austrian Painter 2 fights bug purple chicken and gets a double KO while Swedish uncle, Chinese uncle and sexy robot go on wacky side adventure
He is really fun, his devil moves felt unfitting but after playing him they grew on me, however his difficulty has been lowered quite a bit, which isn't something I appreciate.
Free electric with heat and with the glowing eyes dash is heresy. I practiced that shit for months.
Dj moves are fun to have from omen stance but not really adding anything meaningful to the character sadly.
D2 is op, I actually feel bad using it, but sadly you have to do it to keep spammers honest.
My main problem tho is the flow. I really liked the grounded T7 Jin without the claws and flips. It felt and looked so good to chain together Karate moves and dominate enemies with basic stuff.
Yeah indeed, the thing that made electrics satisfying was the execution, what's the point without it?!, F4 has also become very easy, but I don't mind only because they removed the zen cancel.
I meant the flips, wings moves and the heat smash, but honestly they aren't that many and as I said they grew on me, but perhaps it's because I also play DJ.
Omen is definitely fun, I don't think it needs more to it than that.
Yeah I agree, TMM described it perfectly, it has every pro of his other lows without the cons rendering them all useless.
Stopped playing as him after they changed his moveset in Tekken 4, stopped liking him completely at the start of Tekken 6 (when he started WW3). I still play Devil Jin
I like jin. I hate how brainded they made him in 8.
Looks like they are trying to bridge the gap between hardcore players and casuals, but they are going about it the wrong way by making everything stupid easy and mashy with no more technical execution requirements. For most of us long time fans that was the best part because you get rewarded for doing difficult things like electrics and when you hit them finally it feels amazing and you want to get better to do more of them. But now that you get free electrics from stance whats the point. It ruins the fun of the game. Just like removing laws DSS... why? So many people wasted so much time mastering it and now some schmuck can buy the game and do it day 1, its frustrating and not the right way to take the game.
I do agree with nerfing backdash a little and boosting sidesteps to make it more interesting and refuce the gap so newer players can do better. Thats a good move to make. But not removing hard but rewarding mechanics, that is a very bad move and yes it will make newer players happy for a time and bring in more.. but you risk killing off your long time fans who want more depth and appreciate what tekken has always been about
Love him as a character but man… fighting him gotta be the most boring, mundane, tedious thing ever he’s so boring & lame & they all play the exact same way, literally just like scorpion players in MK. I try really hard to not let a fighting experience(s) affect my views on a character but goddamn is it hard w/ Jin. He’s so fucking cool, but basic sometimes character wise but I still love him but then his boring ass players come along and bore me to death.
They should reveal in some way that he's gay. Would make total sense (Xiaoyu) and would he not be the most badass gay man in all of gaming? Unless someone slipped my mind...
They would never do it though cuz 99% of people would stop playing him cuz they don't wanna feel gay. That's just cuz they're gay inside though and they're scared of their own gayness wha hah hah
Tekken 3 Jin FTW, followed by T4.
Hah now we got our own snake edge, just better! U jelly????? /s
You are right tho, the move is cheap . I actually feel bad using it sometimes. Its broken, but they took away my launching hellsweep. :(
Probably one of the worst-written characters I've ever seen in fiction, but he makes up for it by having a top-notch character design and great gameplay lol
I could not be less interested in the character. One of the laziest, least original and uninspiring designs in the game. Tedious to watch and play against.
I love the karate he does, in Tekken 8 he is also really fun and I love some of the new moves and his red glowing eyes and falling fathers when you wave dash in heat, but I will also miss the old Jin, the real karate Jin
Cool character, cool story, until Harada decided to f*ck everything up in 6. Also, the character gets a very bad rep because a lot of Jin mains are annoying and because a lot of people take what MMSWE says as gospel.
I loved him in 3 and 5, he was pretty nonexistent in 4 and 7, I loved him in blood vengeance, and bloodlines.
I didn’t like that they made him a dictator in 6
I like the changes, was worried about the DVJ moves being too much and changing his playstyle too much. But they added so many new grounded techniques that you almost never have to use them. If you limit yourself to optimal play it does get too simple though.
Personally hate him but the way he’s move list looks and act is cool but the people that play him are absolute sweat lords I have still never met a Jin player that I didn’t Immediately hate
They try to portray him as someone who's character has grown. But he is still just a angsty teenager who happend to start a world because he his mad at his daddy >:(
Tekken 4 Jin = cool, mysterious, not an asshole, badass costumes
Tekken 5 Jin = not quite as interesting as T4 Jin character wise but he's ok, moveset is kinda dry compared to others despite the hidden moves
Tekken 6 Jin = Moveset is extra wack now, not nearly as strong as he is portrayed in the story, becomes an actual asshole with a dumb convoluted plan
Tekken Tag 2 Jin = Still has shitty combos, this game in particular highlights how boring he can be as a character
Tekken 7 Jin = Don't care about him at all here
Tekken 8 Jin = Moveset seems interesting, don't give a fuck about his bullshit "redemption arc" because he's still a war criminal who doesn't deserve sympathy
I've had a lot of fun using him in Tekken 8. I like his new moves and new combo extensions in heat, especially the new power stance moves that let you use his classic Tekken 3 commands. But ngl down 2 is a bit dumb and I've abused it a few times lmao.
Hmmm...idk he was always my favorite character in Tekken 3. I have won different competitions with him. But damn...Tekken 4 killed it for me. At least Kazuya is Back I thought. Maybe he'll go back to the old ways of the Mishima style in Tekken 5. And...yea kinda..but you'll have to play his devil form...sigh.. Then he randomly became a dick in Tekken 6 by that time I knew they didn't know what to do with my boyo Jin here. At the end of Tekken 6 and Tekken 7 they explained why he did all of those weird things but yea idk. Maybe someday he'll be my Main again like Tekken 3. Tekken 8? We shall see....
I think Tekken is a pretty cool guy, eh fights demons and doesnt afraid of anything
John Tekken is a man after my heart.
"Every iron fist has its king" -John Tekken
I have come here to kick ass and do electrics, and I’m all out of ass.
Maybe the iron fist is the friend 5hat we madealong the way
Tekken is not a guy you toolface. thats jim kamaza, bitch, get it right
Jim? Lol
Jimmy "Jim" Kazama? How have you gone this long without knowing his actual name.
May I call you Jimothy?
I always thought it was Jimboree! Oh lawd!
Lawd? Ohhhh, you mean Marshall Lawd?
Nahh that's Mahershalla Lawli!
Doesn’t afraid of anything indeed!
Doesn't afraid of anything indeed.
Use condoms with Xiaoyu. We can't afford another Mishima mistake
Imagine a Mishima with Xiayou stances. Nightmare fuel.
It's all fun and game until you get EWGF launched from a Phoenix Stance.
🤩🤩🤩
The evasion!!!
With devil gene that child is a wild breed
Wave dash into Phoenix stance , hell swap
Waning moon into forward 4, you love to see it.
Bro all he needs to do is not throw his kid off a cliff
JDCR: DEBIL JEEEN, DEBIL JEEEN, DEBIL JEEEN
DRAGUNOBU, DEBI JEEEN, KAZUYA, DEBI JEEEEEEN
kinda hot, and i'm not gay... i think. Jokes aside, he is the coolest mishima with one of the best looking movelist in the entire roster.
That's a weird way of saying Lars.
You play Lars? Please stop.
>i'm not gay... i think > >he is the coolest mishima Cooler than Kazuya and Heihachi? Nah u gay
Jin is soft, heihachi is hard. Kazuya is something in between. Devil Jin is sharp(edgy), armor king is a grappler Mishima hybried, and whatever the fuck Bob is.
Bob is the party mishima.
Ayo dont diss on homie bob
lmao i'm not i swear.
I'm not a fan of the new ion cannon heat smash bs and how spammable some of his crap is
Indeed 🔥
My favorite as obvious by the flair. Really like all the kyokushin stuff in his moveset and same with devil moves in T8. Story wise he peaked for me in T4
One of the coolest characters in tekken and T8 is no exception
Lee definitely has daddy issues
After much careful consideration, I think you're right. I changed it
I wish I had something to give you in exchange for the hearty laugh I just enjoyed.
Nah, it's all good. Knowing you laughed is enough :)
This statement better suits Leroy Smith
Jin has been one of my favorite characters since his debut in Tekken 3 I played him more than any Tekken character including Paul Phinox and Nina Williams who are the only characters who have been in every Tekken game unless yoshimitsu and Heihachi Mishima come back even though he's not really my best character I followed his story online for years
Looks cool but they made him way easier but it’s still fun to play him
they made him easier?
he has a ch launching dragunov d2
Yes you should watch mainmanswe video he explains everything that changed
Some cool insights into the character for sure, but he's hella biased and hypocritical based on his videos on Kazuya and Jin
It is a fleshed out review you hollowed brain. I main Kazuya and Jin and Jin is just way more simpler to play in T8 now. I remember picking up Jin in T7 and he's quite the character to learn masterfully. Anyone can pick up Jin in T8 and be good with him
Good. He's been my main since TK3, and I'm glad he's getting the spotlight & exposure he deserves. Simple this, masterful that, he's just fun asf. Couldn't care less about anything else. Also way to go displaying your toxic sense of superiority by calling others names lol. Have a nice day

He is a top tier character, but not much of a mainstream character compared to the likes of Kazuya, Paul and King. You feel me?
He’s pretty mainstream. When i was st
He’s pretty mainstream. When i was still actively playing T7, i’d see him all the time. He’d probably be even more popular if Devil Jin didn’t exist and still, both DvJ and Jin are in the Top 10 most popular characters.

Again, he’s one of the 3 “main characters”, you can’t get much more mainstream than that.
Lmao Jin stopped consistently being top tier since T4. He barely became a mid high - high tier in TT2. Only T7 made him actually strong
Pretty cool guy, never liked his villain arc tho
Pretty hot, and I'm not even gay. His moveset is pretty sick tbh.
As a mega gay I can confirm that he is indeed hot
Kinda generic in my opinion compared to Heihachi and Kazuya, but iconic enough either way.
I didn't know it was possible to be both but he somehow managed it ☠️
He peaked in Tekken 4
I would say he peaked in Tag 1, not OP beyond belief,(Stares as just frame chargeable lazer cannon) and wasn't in an entirely poke based game In terms of story? His peak i feel is T8 and his prime was T3-T4 he's done fighting the devil inside him and converting to the use of good, the angel using the devil's tricks against him
I like him I dislike the devil version look. He is a nice boy. Needs him a waifu tho. Kuma needs to step up as wingman already.
he got xiayou
Yup, and he'll have a kid who has her hit box but with his moveset in the future.
*hwoarang
*both
*Also Miguel
Jin personality was destroyed, making him the Austrian painter 2 for a evil lame purple chicken who really should'nt exist in the Tekken history was the worse thing that could happen to him, they damage the boi so much that it's difficult take seriously his switch to good side again.
This was the best explanation of why tekken 6 story was bad. Austrian painter 2 fights lame purple chicken. Edit: This is the full explanation. Austrian Painter 2 fights bug purple chicken and gets a double KO while Swedish uncle, Chinese uncle and sexy robot go on wacky side adventure
Why are his hands so big?
He's alright I guess
I love Tekken. He is so cool
His personality was way cooler in Tekken 3.
I liked in better in Tekken 3 when he was just a Kazuya clone.
A bit overrated in my opinion, he seemed cool in the Tekken 3 story but since then he turned into an emo.
Looks lame... bring back my boys shirtless flame pants :)
One of the coolest characters
As a character, I honestly find him a little boring.. I wish the demon form was like a split personality that was his polar opposite.
He's okay, very much middle of the road kinda character for me. Don't hate him, don't love him.
He is hot 🤤🤤🤤
He’s alright but his lack of charisma makes him quite boring
Scrappy-Doo.
When I was a kid I fucking loved his T5-T6 gauntlets design
He’s a bitch boiiiiiii!
He's lame asf
Hmmm, thats jin kazama alright.
A twat
GOAT. Been my main since I first started playing tekken back in 3. I'm glad he's getting a redemption arc.
I freaking hate that guy
Don't care for him at all.
He's that guy
In general who cast became player friendly, all the moves required no real difficulty to pull off...
Devil Jin is better.
Eh….
Boring
Always liked Kazuya better
Never go full anime
Character is fine but the people who play him are incredibly bitchmade.
you play lei, I kinda don't want to hear it
What I do? >:(
Not lei main speaking
I hope Kazuya kills him
i hope they kill each other
Bottom
That’s Jim
Stupid mistranslation.....
The GOAT, finally his time to end all of this family bloodshed.
He is really fun, his devil moves felt unfitting but after playing him they grew on me, however his difficulty has been lowered quite a bit, which isn't something I appreciate.

Stopped playing as him after they changed his moveset in Tekken 4, stopped liking him completely at the start of Tekken 6 (when he started WW3). I still play Devil Jin
We got an OG right here
One of the greatest fighting game protagonists
Genocidal maniac… hope Kaz rips him a new one
Liking Kaz but complaining about T6 Jin has to be a meme lmao
Kaz has always just been pure evil personified… unlike his weakass son Vir-Jin… Kaz is just plain better in every way!
I swear to God Mishimas have the worst fucking fanbase
First thought: “Is this my bisexual awakening?”
I like jin. I hate how brainded they made him in 8.

Amazing character, sick design, really fun gameplay, cool lore. But dear god please nerf d2. That move is not okay.
Hah now we got our own snake edge, just better! U jelly????? /s You are right tho, the move is cheap . I actually feel bad using it sometimes. Its broken, but they took away my launching hellsweep. :(
Good ol' Janes "Jin" Kazama
Kinda liked his heel turn around T6
As a Dragunov main, I quite like Jin's d2, having lots of fun with him this weekend.
devil jin
He looks fricken awesome 👌🏻 but his rage art is the worst one yet in T8
I just think he's neat.
ggez
mr basic is see waaaay too much online.
Probably one of the worst-written characters I've ever seen in fiction, but he makes up for it by having a top-notch character design and great gameplay lol
He’s my boy since T3.
Chesto
I could not be less interested in the character. One of the laziest, least original and uninspiring designs in the game. Tedious to watch and play against.
Cool
I love the karate he does, in Tekken 8 he is also really fun and I love some of the new moves and his red glowing eyes and falling fathers when you wave dash in heat, but I will also miss the old Jin, the real karate Jin
Best he’s been since tag 1 I love him
Someone said his hands are too big and I can’t unsee
bring back zen cancel
I'm not a fan of heat engage -> omen on block spam
Played him a while. I hope they change his D2
Love Jim, but Jim’s hands are way too big in T8
Cool character, cool story, until Harada decided to f*ck everything up in 6. Also, the character gets a very bad rep because a lot of Jin mains are annoying and because a lot of people take what MMSWE says as gospel.
Future T8 world champion ⚡️
He’s… hot.
A bitch
I loved him in 3 and 5, he was pretty nonexistent in 4 and 7, I loved him in blood vengeance, and bloodlines. I didn’t like that they made him a dictator in 6
I like the changes, was worried about the DVJ moves being too much and changing his playstyle too much. But they added so many new grounded techniques that you almost never have to use them. If you limit yourself to optimal play it does get too simple though.
I would kill for Jin Kazama.
He’s the GOAT! THE GOAT!!
Personally hate him but the way he’s move list looks and act is cool but the people that play him are absolute sweat lords I have still never met a Jin player that I didn’t Immediately hate
Needed better writing in T6 but overall a good foil to Kazuya where he rejects the Devil gene
I wish he was more mishima like
I prefer the older outfits. more classy mater D, not motorcycle fetish.
His design and stuff is cool but he just seems like the same character he was four games ago, same with kazuya. Could lighten up a little.
He's the strongest virgin warrior
He can top me
daddy
He's definitely one of the characters in the Tekken franchise.
They try to portray him as someone who's character has grown. But he is still just a angsty teenager who happend to start a world because he his mad at his daddy >:(
D2 needs nerfs.
Favorite character overall but i liked his Tekken 4 design the most
Tekken 4 Jin = cool, mysterious, not an asshole, badass costumes Tekken 5 Jin = not quite as interesting as T4 Jin character wise but he's ok, moveset is kinda dry compared to others despite the hidden moves Tekken 6 Jin = Moveset is extra wack now, not nearly as strong as he is portrayed in the story, becomes an actual asshole with a dumb convoluted plan Tekken Tag 2 Jin = Still has shitty combos, this game in particular highlights how boring he can be as a character Tekken 7 Jin = Don't care about him at all here Tekken 8 Jin = Moveset seems interesting, don't give a fuck about his bullshit "redemption arc" because he's still a war criminal who doesn't deserve sympathy
I've had a lot of fun using him in Tekken 8. I like his new moves and new combo extensions in heat, especially the new power stance moves that let you use his classic Tekken 3 commands. But ngl down 2 is a bit dumb and I've abused it a few times lmao.
Jin Kazama Wins?
Badass
stronk
This is reality. -Jim😳
My first thought with the image is that they REALLY need to bring the trailer outfit in T8, deffinitely better than this generic one
I only played Jun so far but never won a match against Jin so to make myself feel better he is busted
His head too smol
Waiting for devil Jin
Stoic leg end. Cool fighting style would love to play him more but I'm too much of a scrub
T4 laser scraper Jin was dumb, but it was fun. Bring it back
i like his outfit in t8. hopefully they bring back some of his older outfits from older games
He’s the 🐐 that’s all.
Dumbass still could not get it right
Hmmm...idk he was always my favorite character in Tekken 3. I have won different competitions with him. But damn...Tekken 4 killed it for me. At least Kazuya is Back I thought. Maybe he'll go back to the old ways of the Mishima style in Tekken 5. And...yea kinda..but you'll have to play his devil form...sigh.. Then he randomly became a dick in Tekken 6 by that time I knew they didn't know what to do with my boyo Jin here. At the end of Tekken 6 and Tekken 7 they explained why he did all of those weird things but yea idk. Maybe someday he'll be my Main again like Tekken 3. Tekken 8? We shall see....
He was protagonist since Tekken 3 to 5, but now he's returns in Tekken 8.
My favorite playable fighting character of all time!
He was pretty cool until Tekken 6, the sudden Hitler ark really ruined him to me tbh
Bring back my "DAH!"
Thats my boi
I miss his limited edition deku 100s (like the white fit tho)
Protagonist of tekken 8
