As a beginner Jin player this will help thanks ❤

[@GabeFGC]

Glad it could help :^) gl

[@1deaglol]

prob the best intermediate Jin guide I've seen - clear and concise with a lot of good info. tyty

[@GabeFGC]

Thank you man, I really appreciate it!

[@ryanphan7433]

one amazing frametrap that i always end up using is db1 into f4, this help check whether your opponent is likely to press when they’re midrange or if they’ll respect your pokes after getting hit

[@GabeFGC]

This is a good one, ill have to check it out later!

[@ryanphan7433]

@@GabeFGC db4 into f4 is also a possibly better frametrap

[@GabeFGC]

@@ryanphan7433 better than db1 -> f4?

[@ryanphan7433]

@@GabeFGC if you’re close to the opponent, db1 -> f4. if you’re midrange, db4 -> f4. don’t whiff db4 though because some people might be able to whiff punish

[@zeldamage001]

You mean the mid poke d/f+1? d/b+1 is not a move for Jin.

[@solog32]

As a franchise long Jin player I appreciate the tips on frames. I have always played with Jin ever since I was like 11 or 12. Since tekken 3 when he was introduced I have never switch main players. I use others for fun but Jin is my go to. We never paid attention to frames growing nor the plus and minus info on blocks. So this is cool to learn

[@hawrami]

Best guide to Jin I’ve seen!

[@GabeFGC]

Thanks man :^)

[@supersoncuh559]

This was awesome! My first tekken im learning in depth and this was exactly what i was looking for

[@GabeFGC]

This format for a tutorial is SO good. I have been trying to learn xiaoyu but i feel like most of them isnt that easy to get into without knowing anything before watching

[@GabeFGC]

Nice! I’m glad the guide could help, xiaoyu is a tricky character for sure

[@zeldamage001]

amazing vid! 12:33 would've been nice if you included some footage with the bot ducking after standing up, as if it is expecting a low. Now, I don't know what happens after hitting with d/f+[3,3].

[@GabeFGC]

Breaking step 1 will launch crouching opponents due to it being a mid :^)

[@zeldamage001]

12:52 "down your opponent [...] with a move like f,f+3 zenshin u+1" would've been nice if you started oki from a practical situation. After the two moves you mention, you should start a combo, not oki.

[@GabeFGC]

If you’re confident about your read on the opponent setting up oki can lead to more damage than a standard combo especially on characters with mediocre combo damage like Jin

[@caymanm7241]

12:17, why would you use a launcher to setup oki rather than just combo?

[@FhargaZ]

For the new ones heres i was hearing 4,4, 2 instead of forward forward 2 😂, even the subs says "ford for 2"

[@GabeFGC]

The onscreen inputs didn’t help? 😭

[@carlspangler9278]

During the Oki section, you talk about how ff3 leaves the opponent grounded, and i feel really confused. ff3 is a launcher for a full combo. Why would you use that to introduce oki concepts instead of when an opp is grounded from 1,2,3 or even 3,1,4 counter hit? Also, i don't think many people respect that 1,2,1 is a crazy launcher when you achieve a deep side step of a move. you need to be almost to the person's back, but then you can get a 90 damage combo from 1,2,1 > bf1,2 > bf1,2,df2, >cd4,1+2

[@GabeFGC]

FF3 was more of just an example of a move that grounds your opponent, you get a similar situation anytime your opponent is downed on their back! 121 is ok but I don’t think people are going to let you walk around them 😅

[@UseYourBrain00]

Do you have a tutorial where you're using a controller and showing your action via hand cam? Anyways, as someone who is new to Jin, this tutorial is very informative ❤

[@GabeFGC]

@@ShazyZone I always use controller, but as for right now I don’t have a video like that

[@darkelectronicmusic]

[@GabeFGC]

Thank you! I appreciate it

[@DshawnScales]

This video is ok for people who been playing fighting games a little bit and want to get better just with jin but honestly it's hard to follow if u a freshman new booty beginning player for example you say things sometimes like Kenshin 2+3 is plus on block and allows for follow up but don't show what it looks like to be plus on block or what you can or just a example of what that would look like you just show the what the move is instead of what it's intended to do

[@DshawnScales]

Like you did when talking about oki

[@GabeFGC]

Hey! My other guides are more beginner friendly, but there was a lot I wanted to cover in this one so I assumed the viewer would have the basics understood. If it helps, being + on block means you have frame advantage over your opponent allowing you priority when going for your next move, if it helps, you can think of frame advantage as hit stun. Let me know if there’s any move in particular I can help you out with

[@ZephyrusBlue]

6:07 this is false. The only thing that an electric version provides is more damage.

[@GabeFGC]

ye, misspoke i think theres an error about the electric 2 i cant remember

[@MastdarmWeishaupt]

At 1:32 you mentioned that the string is actually interruptible. My question is do all jab strings were the 3rd hit comes out in 24 frames be interrupted with a jab of my own. Probably not because this game has no rules only exceptions Sadge also why cant u follow up with a jab punish after 4 hits when you are +10 why isnt it guaranteed dmg

[@GabeFGC]

Hey! No, not all jab strings with slow hitting third hits can be interrupted with jabs due to the fact that some moves have more hit stun than others. One way to test if you can interrupt is by checking to see rather or not the combo is a true combo. You can do this by using the string in practice! If the indicator appears and displays 3hit combo, that is a natural combo and cannot be interrupted, if this indicator doesnt appear you can probably interrupt that string with a jab or a crouch jab!

[@Daemon1995_]

first combo either outdated or i can dash fast enough up to launch him lmao

[@GabeFGC]

Hey just tried this one out and it still works, were you able to figure it out?

[@drebell15]

For some reason I cannot get the pick up off the first combo. The chf4

[@GabeFGC]

Hey, it is pretty trick I try to think of getting close enough and using b3 before they settle on the ground.

[@BankaiiLife]

what’s the song name in the background?

[@GabeFGC]

Your sunset from tekken tag 2

[@calixtobrilliantes4435]

You missed Jin's 14 frame punisher f 1+2 Also theres alittle bit of missinformation Jin's electric is not a mid, all mishima electrics are high and Jin's electric startup frame is not 11 its 14.

[@GabeFGC]

Yeah his electric 1 also does not make it any less risky as he doesn’t recover any faster, BUT I skipped f1+2 as I thought his other 14 frame was better :^)

[@garythacker6731]

How do you get EWGF to come out at 11 frames? I struggle to punish anything that is under 15 frames with it.

[@GabeFGC]

The forward neutral can be buffered on block in certain situations, I’ll cover it more in depth when I update the jin guide!

[@garythacker6731]

@@GabeFGC I would love that brother. I am brand new to Tekken (2 weeks in) I have been learning Jin. 9/10 times I can hit the EWGF, but on punish often the forward input is eaten by the block.

[@eltigremuyloco]

You can't punish anything -11 with EWGF or EWHF. That is because in order to do the input you have to do at least 1 frame of f, 1frame of n and 1 frame of d from the first frame of your actionability. At the fastest, Jin and Devil Jin can block punish -14 with Electrics while Kazuya and Reina can do -13. These are also very difficult to do. The muscle memory for electric block punish is different for every -13,-14,-15 because different moves have different block staggers and you can't input buffer electrics like you would with regular moves such as DF2 or whatever.

[@garythacker6731]

I don't struggle doing electrics, i do struggle punishing with them. Do you have any tips? Im on ps5 controller.

[@GabeFGC]

The forward neutral can be buffered on block in certain situations, I’ll cover it more in depth when I update the jin guide! I’m in ps5 controller also and honestly it just takes a TON of practice

[@SkillaTronGaming]

Hello I can’t launch after the “forward 4” counter hit. I try to dash and then press back 3 like u but it doesn’t work. It always misses because it’s too far away. Did they remove launching from counter hit with “forward 4”

[@udaffka666]

I'm a bit too late haha but if you still haven't solved this you must press not just "back 3" but back 3 forward(hold)" so that Jin goes into his stance after the knee. I don't really know how exactly this works but for some reason the b3 whiffs after f4 ch while b3f doesn't. But anyway for the combo you'll need to always do b3f1 so it's ok :)

[@SkillaTronGaming]

@@udaffka666 yeah u are correct thanks

[@GabeFGC]

@@udaffka666thanks for covering this one for me 😁

[@processor.dev1l286]

Your frame trap portion of the video didn't show any actually frame traps, so: db4 is +3 oH, making it perfect to try to trade Jin's m4 with opponent's jab 1 (left jab), is +8 oH, making it a nice frame trap for f4 CH df3~3 is +6 oB, and so is iWS 1,3~3. You can technically hit f4 from that as it is i16, but it's better to go for some faster option, like df1,4 ewhf is +5 oB, use m4 after (or a jab string if you are close enough) fff3 is +6 oB, and so is its alternate input: f,n,d,df,uf3 One last tip: After d2 oH (not counter), do ws4,4 and watch what happens. Did you hit the opponent? Good. Did he block? Perfect. Next time try this: d2 oH, FC.df4, dash, d2 After FC.df4 hits, d2 is guaranteed.

[@GabeFGC]

The frame traps in the video are accurate but thanks got the information, you can also 1+2 after uf2 and catch most options with a heat engager for health recovery

[@harveysoloconvo]

Hey about Jin, because he has so many good moves I end up autopiloting , can you help????

[@GabeFGC]

While jin can auto pilot through a lot of the ranks, its better to be intentional with what youre throwing out, this doesnt mean you cant be aggressive but try thinking a step or two ahead and working towards a goal, for example using ff2 to fish for a whiff punish with zanshin up 1 or even just using frame traps to set up your next move
