With the 3.30 patch EWGF now has less whiff recovery, making it a good keep-out tool, and Hellsweep now catches SSL, making Devil Jin's mix-ups harder to sidestep. The changes are covered in this video: bit.ly/DevilJinEssentialsUpdate

[@tjthedestroyer5335]

That Blasted Salami Amazing, when I just started to learn they hit me with the mixup

Michał Szabłowski you right, thank the tekken gods.

[@leokazama369]

A guide to Jin kazama as detailed as the one in this updated video would be excellent of course it would be a lot to ask my friend blasted salami

[@MrDarkSunshine]

I almost feel calling this video "Devil Jin Essentials" is a disservice. This is a Tekken basic strategy video, about all levels of play and for all kinds of players, even for other fighting game players. You might have trouble respecting deadlines, but you never fail to deliver. This is probably your best video yet. Great, great job.

[@nunchisoul5924]

i kinda feel altough i could find the combos elsewhere, the format of this channel makes me miss the section even more

[@MFUnicornBey]

Exactly, i feel ive been taught more about tekken fundamentals than devil jin in this video lmao

[@anjeevarunasalam8349]

well yeah, because devil jin basically relies on fundamentals to excel at his gameplan. They did include moves to be used for what purpose , but i get what you mean , assuming its the overall general or specific gameplan to play him effectively.

[@tonson5214]

This is because mishimas rely on fundamental game mechanics to win, playing mishimas well is synonymous with playing tekken itself well.

[@johnsonjunior547]

idk this guide kinda relies on electric wind a bit too much. A new player who looks for essentials isn't going to be able to spam electric until the opponent reaches the walls.

[@nixuniverse5240]

I find it kinda funny that a huge demonic being with black wings and devil horns is the balanced one.

"After fully succumbing to the power of the devil gene, Jin Kazama becomes... Jin Mishima"

[@chaoscontroller316]

That is... not inaccurate in retrospect.

[@RedBull78hero]

@@chaoscontroller316 Tekken 4 story explained it very well in my opinion, where Jin unlearned the ways of Mishima Karate, and started training in traditional Japanese karate. But...when the Devil gene kicks in....some things are just impossible to unlearn.

[@sam-bf1go]

Jin is really Mishima but he dont like Mishima

[@Timquan.]

@@RedBull78hero It would make sense because before Devil was reduced to a mere gene. He would use Mishima style Karate when in control, due to Kazuya being his host and using that style for decades. So whenever Jin goes Devil it would make sense for Devil to use Jin's style of Mishima ryu. Damn the idea of Devil actually being an evil Spirit was so much better than the damn hereditary gene that started with his Kazumi.

[@zipzip070]

The production value is so clean I want to give the character a try just from watching this

[@BiggestChungus21]

Okay question one: do you play other Mishimas? Because if you do, why the baJesus would you play DJ? You power hungry boy? If you don't play Mishimas, DJ is a great starter Mishima, although given his unique Mishima moves, he'll require higher execution than other characters, but the rewards are endless. He is the most powerful, broken ass character (on paper) even post uf4 nerf. But if you are just starting to pick up Mishimas, firstly congrats on finally being a Tekken player, and you will be welcomed to the most elitist community out there, the Mishimains. Secondly, please drop him as soon as you get the hang of throwing electrics, have some decency and play Kazuya

[@soulist8224]

I’m the opposite of you, initially i wanna try to use him because i trained my wave dash and ewgf abit bcs i used to like kaz, but knowing my low level gameplay, i gave up on it. But tmm said hei and dvj is the easiest mishima makes me wanna try dvj bcs i thought my practices were all going to be in vain if i don’t try. But after watching the video i’m terrified 😂

[@BiggestChungus21]

@@soulist8224 nah man. The EWGF tracking buff is busted. Learn to spam that shit and some hellsweeps? Ff2 are golden to teach your opponent not to duck a fucking Mishima. And if you're versed with the wave dashing and instant while standings? Broken 50/50 a hellsweep and a 15f launcher, not as good as a Kazuya 50/50 but has better powermids, not as good as Heihachi but decent enough to be feared. DJ is busted on paper and I sooooo love playing him. Just realized his power when my brother did nothing but spam DJ

[@kain1144]

Just because devil's tattoos appeared on Jin's forehead doesn't mean that he can control it... There was also aura around him before he fought Azazel in t6 so none said he can control anything... Besides, kazuya unlocked his ultimate devil form and Jin most likely won't win especially since he already beat the mishimas during t4, it would be dull so kazuya is gonna take it

[@ShiniGamiAD]

@@kain1144 Jin is getting control on his devil form day by day, from very start and first transformation , what he never lost is his senses, he is not* filled with hatred like Kazuya..and not giving in devil gene. About tats in Tekken 7 ending, shows clearly that he has control or more control than before, he can tap in his devil form on cue now. now Devil Jin doesnt just takes over as defense mechanism.

[@MassiveZug]

Even though I know it's going to be cutting edge content, I'm still always surprised at what you and the team can do Mr. Salami; it's a magical piece of work!

[@ThatBlastedSalami]

Thank you for the kind words sir. Keep up the excellent work!
