It's crazy that intermediate became blue ranks. They royally screwed the very defined differences between ranks and skill levels. A good player used to be around genbu, up to suzaku. anything above was a really good player. Intermediate were warriors up to overlords. and that emperor kazuya is like my destroyer/savior Kazuya.

I particularly like how you talk not just about what options your opponent is favouring, but *why* they might be favouring them based on the options you've been presenting a lot. Players talk all the time about 'oh, this guy seems to like doing X' but don't really vocalise how that's impacted by the opponent actively trying to download them at the same time.

Master the fundamentals of Tekken and then Jin will make sense to you.

unlike electric, hopkick has no tracking and is punishable on block rather than plus, making it a riskier option in non-punishment scenarios cancans functions better than hopkick as a block punish, but is even riskier due to its launch punishability. hopkick is generally better utilized as a low crush launch tool, where cancans functions as the primary i15 block punish having the choice is certainly nice though, not gonna lie

​@zyklqrswx If theres one weakness i want my block punishers to have, its what they are on block. When the hell are you blocking cancans unless the Jin player is on some kind of substances XD

@@Niforseme personally i do cancan on block, its funny af in light blue/green ranks. but thats only if i remember i have that move otherwise i electric

@@Niforse exactly, that's right as Jin's most powerful natural hit launcher, cancans is rightly launch punishable itself, but a skilled Jin will never use it in a situation that would give the opponent that chance since it's so unsafe to do so accidents do happen though. if Jin is one frame late cancanning a -15 move, or attempts to block punish anything safer with it he's guaranteed to get launched in response

jin players talking about their character like theyre going through the library with a bunch of children telling them the struggles of the online jin

welcome to the game, good luck out there and don't give up

😂😂

To be fair, at that level you'd expect to be able to do electrics without any effort

@@justinli826 You're out here idealising top level players. Try tuning in on more streams and see how a lot of them can only play their character at a godlike level and their secondaries play like Blue Ranks at an execution level.

@@UltimateBallaPOMYou clearly don't play Mishimas. Orange ranks can throw electrics effortlessly, how difficult do you think they are? It's a staple move regardless of the fact that it's a just frame. Someone who's been playing for like a year can achieve this level of execution. Now if you're talking about someone flawlessly executing pewgfs, tjus, having extremely fast wavedash, doing instant running or while standing moves, that's what you'd consider crazy execution. What phidx is doing here you'd see from orange to red rank Mishimas. That's why he says it doesn't take crazy execution, he's not even doing wavedashing into mixups. Electrics are effortless bruv.

?? That's all of his videos already though?

yes and no; if you try to wake up with a button, you're open to f4 and ewhf or cd1 whiff punish. D2 is enough damage to pose a threat to just staying down, it just doesn't loop. The nasty part is Jin's offense prefers that your opponent is standing

Jin actually does have some pretty nasty oki if you set it up right. the kazek setup, for example

Also is there a use for Jin's b3? It's the same speed as his f4 but has much less range

@@YOLO22272 since it has less pushback, it allows you to stay in close range if you want to continue pressuring it also leads to different combo routes that can offer more damage and potentially better carry, depending on how you pick up from launch may also have slightly better tracking, though both b3 and f4 will track very well if you have enough plus frames

@@YOLO22272it’s good after a reset also against parry moves
