|header=Overview
|content=Jin is one of Blazblue's closest examples of a "Shoto" character. He's a '''good all-arounder''' with many tools for any given situation. He is also '''beginner friendly''' and relatively easy to pick up. Jin's unique mechanics come in the form of his Drive and his EX Specials. Jin's Drive gives him the ability to Freeze his opponents and followup with attacks, or create unique mixups to continue his offense. Jin's EX specials allow him to use stronger versions of his special attacks at the cost of Heat. Jin's Overdrive is also an amazing tool that powers up his Freeze mechanic and greatly improves his damage.

Unfortunately, Jin lacks immediate access to his strongest mixups, as they require resources. As a result, Jin typically relies on stagger pressure, backed up by his solid neutral tools. Additionally, Jin is a rather '''meter hungry''' character. On top of system mechanics, Jin needs to spend Heat to make the most of his unique options. Despite some of these shortcomings, Jin still sees use at the highest levels of play. A good understanding of Blazblue's mechanics and fundamentals will take any Jin player far.

|header=Drive: Reitou (Frost Bite)
|content=Jin's Drive gives him the ability to freeze his opponents, allowing for extended combos and unconventional reset opportunities.
<!-- There's a better way to write this, I think.-->
As a basic rule of thumb, Jin's Drive normals can only freeze once in a combo and he can use his EX-Specials for further freezes.

See the [[BBCF/Damage#Hit_Effects|attack attribute page]] for more details on how Freeze works.

Jin has access to a set of special moves that consume 25% Heat, similar to Force Breaks from ''Guilty Gear Accent Core +R'', EX Attacks from ''Street Fighter IV'', and SB Skills from ''Persona 4 Arena''. 

* All of Jin's EX-Specials freeze the opponent and have Freeze Count 10, effectively ignoring the Freeze Count limit. 
* If Jin attempts an attack that requires 25% Heat without sufficient meter, the non-EX version will be done instead (for example, inputting {{clr|D|623D}} with less than 25 Heat will cause Jin to perform {{clr|C|623C}}).
* All EX-Specials trigger Heat cooldown for about 3 seconds (180F) upon use.
|header2=Overdrive: Zettou (Frost End)
|content2=During Overdrive, all of Jin's sword normals and specials freeze the opponent; the Freeze Count limit for Jin's normal Drive attacks is altered; and Jin's EX-specials gain additional properties (groundbounce, wallbounce, etc.). 

*Sword normals ({{clr|C|5C}}, {{clr|C|2C}}, {{clr|C|3C}}, {{clr|C|6C}}, {{clr|C|j.C}}, {{clr|C|j.2C}}) will now freeze the opponent and have a Freeze Count limit of 3.
*Normal Drives ({{clr|D|5D}}, {{clr|D|2D}}, {{clr|D|6D}}, {{clr|D|j.D}}) gain an extended Freeze Count limit of 3.
*Special moves will now freeze the opponent and have a Freeze Count limit of 5. 
*Normal Drives ({{clr|D|5D}}, {{clr|D|2D}}, {{clr|D|6D}}, {{clr|D|j.D}}) gain more frame advantage and freeze for a longer period of time. 
*Most EX-Specials gain better effects on hit for combo extensions, and lose their heat cooldown period.

Jin gains many new combo routes and damage through these new properties. Jin can use Overdrive to either do lots of unburstable damage like most characters, or to go for new resets using Freeze.

A two hit move. Both hits have a slight vacuum effect. It has good reach and quick a startup, making it a common combo starter. Used as a frame trap tool since it can cancel into many normals, and being only -3, makes the opponent guess if you will frame trap them with a gatling or reset pressure.  Has a backward hitbox that is capable of hitting cross-up. In addition to its use in pressure, {{clr|B|5B}} is also part of Jin's neutral game; it can even anti-air or catch an opppnent who air techs poorly. 
*Jump cancelable on hit.

A strong zoning and neutral tool. While it is a good poke, Jin's hurtbox extends before the active hurtbox reaches out fully and as a result it might end up losing to other potentially slower pokes at certain distances, making it better suited as a counter-poke. It has a pretty quick startup, particularly for its range. Use it as a frame trap, punish tool or even to fish for CHs in neutral. On CH, {{clr|C|5C}} > {{clr|B|6B}} is the go-to confirm however at longer ranges {{clr|C|5C}} > {{clr|D|2D}} will be the only way to pick as {{clr|B|6B}} risks whiffing.

The first two active frames have little horizontal range, but can actually hit opponents above Jin's head, also making this a (situational) antiair!
*Freezes opponent for 30F during OD. Freeze Count 3.
*Hitbox fully extends on frame 12.
*Jump cancelable on hit and block.

Average startup but very long range for a {{clr|A|2A}} and is only -1 on block. Mostly used for stagger pressure and sometimes as a situational antiair, as Jin's hitbox shrinks quite a bit, allowing him to low profile some air attacks, such as his own {{clr|B|j.B}}. Jump cancelable on hit and block. It also has use as a meaty, as if an opponent tries to forward roll, Jin will autocorrect and tag them, while an opponent who neutral techs will block {{clr|A|2A}}. 
*Jump and Throw cancelable on hit and block.

Hits low. Two frames slower than {{clr|A|2A}}, but {{clr|B|2B}} has more range and is a better starter; in return, it has more recovery than {{clr|A|2A}}. Can be used to reset pressure from time to time and as an alternative for forward roll catches, though it is more prone to switching sides with the opponent on succesful hit compared to {{clr|A|2A}}.

It has a huge vertical hitbox but it has significant startup and recovery. Can be used as an effective frame trap due to long startup and good reward on counter hit. As an antiair, {{clr|C|2C}} is slower than some of Jin's other options, but it has a lengthy period of head invul and great vertical range, making it useful against certain air approaches; however, {{clr|C|2C}} can be beaten by quick attacks due to its startup. Those weaknesses aside, {{clr|C|2C}} has amazing vertical range and is your strongest option against air attacks directly above your head. Jump-cancellable on block, so even if an opponent tries to bait {{clr|C|2C}} with a double jump, you retain the option of jump-cancelling, albeit perhaps not offensive momentum. 
*Head invul 9-19f.
*Freezes opponent for 30F during OD, Freeze Count 3.
*Jump cancelable on hit and block.

Quick and hard to see overhead that resets pressure on hit, but it can only be followed up if it lands as a counter hit or with 50 Heat. {{clr|A|2A}} and {{clr|A|5A}} are the only moves that gatling into {{clr|A|6A}}, so beware becoming predictable in your strings: Jin's {{clr|A|6A}} is an excellent tool that's difficult to block due to its speed and animation, but opponents aware of your gatling options will block {{clr|A|6A}} easily if you simply throw it in at obvious points. You give up pressure if this is blocked without meter to Rapid Cancel, but reward is poor without meter. With meter, however, {{clr|A|6A}} is absolutely terrifying and will easily lead into good damage. Has a very lengthy window during which you can Rapid Cancel, making it easy to confirm hits. On CH, can link to fast normals but {{clr|A|6A}} itself cannot be canceled to anything. 
*110% bonus proration. 
*Forces crouch on hit. 
*Jin's only standing overhead.
*+4 on normal hit.

A key combo component in metered and crouching combos. In pressure, it crushes lows and throws, and while it leaves Jin next to the opponent at -3 on block, you can cancel the recovery into air or ground specials for more options to force more respect or simply back off safely.

It has a pretty good vertical hitbox, so it can be used as a situational antiair in the corner, though it lacks head invul. Jin moves forward while performing the attack. Other than that, this move is mostly used as combo filler or as a high risk frame trap. One of Jin's strongest combo starters. {{clr|C|6C}} > {{clr|D|6D}} can be used against opponents who are truly respecting your pressure or you can cancel {{clr|C|6C}} into  {{clr|D|236D}} for a true blockstring.

Jin's sweep, redrawn to now use his sword so it can now cause freeze during Overdrive. It has long reach and fast startup for its range, but it's punishable on block if you don't special cancel it. It can also be used to low profile under certain moves, such as Ragna's {{clr|B|5B}} at max range or ground projectiles, but beware the long recovery. Jin steps forward before attacking, giving {{clr|C|3C}} more range than the image suggests.

Pretty versatile move: it can be used as a jumpin, for crossups, etc. During the latter active frames, the hitbox extends fully. Capable of hitting above, in front of, below, and behind Jin at certain frames. Jump cancelable on hit and block. Crucial air to air confirm tool, {{clr|A|j.A}} > {{clr|B|j.B}} to tag an airborne opponent then react accordingly. Reverse beat into {{clr|A|j.A}} allows for a gapless gatling after {{clr|B|j.B}} jumpins that can be used to tickthrow due to the low blockstun it applies.

Another great zoning/neutral move. Mostly used as an air-to-air and to control space while fishing for CHs. Be careful not to be too predictable with this as it is easily low profiled when used air-to-ground. Can be jump canceled on hit only.

{{clr|D|5D}} has a massive hitbox which makes this a good poking tool but it's relatively slow and has quite a bit of recovery. Can be special canceled. The reward off-of stray hits is generally quite small however as Jin requires at least 25 meter in order to convert into a full combo if he isn't point blank or in the corner.

Pretty good hitbox and range make it seem enticing to use as a spacing tool, but if you whiff this you're guaranteed to get punished. It has a bit of frame advantage so it can be used to reset pressure, but the move requiring distance from the opponent in order to connect in exchange for the only minor frame advantage makes it somewhat limited.

It has a huge vertical hitbox but it has a ridiculously slow startup. It's very positive on block so it can be used to reset pressure from time to time most effective if used at a point when an opponent wouldn't expect a reset such as after {{clr|B|5B}}(1) or in place of a jump cancel after {{clr|A|2A}}/{{clr|C|5C}}/{{clr|C|2C}}.

Jin can get good damage and oki if he catches a crouching opponent with it in the corner, this combined with Jin's stickiness during pressure makes it an occasional suprise tool for 25 Heat.

Functionally identical to Ragna's dash cancel, mostly a situational combo tool, shouldn't really be used in pressure outside of OD. However do be aware that it is not like a regular dash, Jin will run for a fixed duration during which he '''can be counterhit''' and '''is unable to do anything''' until the end of the short run, meaning there are instances where using this mindlessly during pressure will get you severely punished.
*Used instead of Jin's normal forward dash whenever you input 66 during moves that allow dash cancels.

Colloquially known as "Snowflake", {{clr|D|236D}} is a very versatile way to spend 25 meter. It sets up damaging combos midscreen and in the corner, resets pressure very well (especially off of {{clr|C|6C}}, in which case the cancel is airtight and Jin is moved forwards), and it can allow for continued pressure after normally unsafe pressure options like {{clr|D|j.D}}, {{clr|C|6C}}, {{clr|C|3C}}, etc. while simultaneously auto-hitconfirming. Can situationally also see use as an okizeme option, particularly in the corner, or simply planted during certain neutral situations to passively control space for little risk.

Thanks to its speed, hitbox, and head invul frames, Fubuki works well as an antiair, particularly for covering specific angles taken by opponents and against very fast air attacks that can't be answered with {{clr|C|2C}}. Just make sure the move is at least blocked: on whiff, Jin is vulnerable to a punish due to the move's lengthy recovery, while on block, you at least retain the option of Rapid Canceling to keep the initiative. 

Important for meterless routes in the corner, as you can continue combo with {{clr|C|623C}} or {{clr|C|j.C}} into {{clr|D|j.D}} for an easy freeze.

|description=
A mediocre meterless reversal with huge vertical range that is decent at catching air crossups, but the horizontal range leaves something to be desired and you're in a terrible counter hit state for the entire huge recovery window if you miss or get blocked. Worse still, Jin is considered to be crouching during this move, meaning your opponent can potentially inflict even more damage if they get a counterhit and crouch confirm against it. Has a bad starter rating and only leads to reward on high anti-air counter hits although it allows for a safejump on an opponent if it ever counterhits them.

For most cases, gets outclassed by {{clr|D|623D}} as a much better reversal, relegating this move for when you don't have the Heat to spend, or are countering more aerial approaches.

Sees use as filler in some of Jin's harder and more optimised routes anywhere on screen.

It also possible to get a very short extension meterlessly if an opponent is hit very high in the air, generally followed up with {{clr|B|5B}} > {{clr|C|22C}}.

|description=
Your go-to reversal that hits all around Jin. Huge horizontal hitbox and hefty invul frames. Sees a lot of love in corner combos. Sends the opponent flying in to a wallbounce midscreen as long as they are not hit behind Jin. Being a VS starter, you can only confirm it into {{clr|C|3C}} > {{clr|B|214B}}~{{clr|C|C}} midscreen. This move is relatively unsafe on block but has solid pushback and it is possible to frame-trap by delaying the second hit if the first one is ever blocked. Beware, the second hit can be airblocked safely while certain moves on the ground can either low profile it or invul through it.
*Second hit is chargeable.

|description=
Retains freeze if the opponent was hit while frozen. This property is often used to set up powerful resets in the form of restands. This ensures that the opponent cannot delay tech/roll out of the reset, and are tricky to reversal out of because Jin can simply run up and {{clr|A|5A}} (up to about 3 times) to throw off a defender's timing. From an ice restand, you can throw, use an overhead, use a low, or simply continue pressure. There are ''many'' mixups and pressure resets Jin can use.
*'''Fatal Counters.
*Freezes opponent for 50F if already frozen. Freeze Count 3. During OD, Freeze Count 5.
*You must be close to the opponent in order to trigger this move, otherwise Jin will go into a punishable whiff animation. Can be canceled into the followup on hit for 25 Heat.

The {{clr|C|22C}} followup, it's useful for switching sides with your opponent mid-combo in the corner. It sends the opponent flying a little in air. Can combo into 66{{clr|C|5C}} > {{clr|C|2C}} > {{clr|C|6C}} > {{clr|B|214B}}(w)~{{clr|C|C}} midscreen.

|description=
Pretty good hitbox and the recoil causes Jin to float a bit which makes this a decent air to ground and useful for baiting and punishing certain antiairs.  Causes hard knockdown which makes it a good combo ender in or near the corner. Sees love in midscreen {{clr|B|6B}} > dl {{clr|C|j.214C}} routes, and is usually continued the combo with {{clr|B|662B}}. But it sends the opponent a long distance away from you when used midscreen, which may or may not be desirable. When used as an air combo ender, the lower Jin is to the ground the more frame advantage the knockdown has.
*Causes a short untechable crumple on ground hit.
*Causes a long untechable crumple on ground Counterhit.

You can use this move as an overhead if you use it immediately off the ground with a TK motion. Other than that, it can be used to extend combos. Unlike its meterless version it recovers before touching the ground if done high enough in the air, allowing Jin to link {{clr|D|j.632146D}} to finish air combos near the corner with a super if 75% Heat is available.
*Fastest TK {{clr|D|j.214D}} overhead is 24 frames (20 frames excluding jump startup).
*TK {{clr|D|j.214D}} is -5 on block.
*Causes untechable crumple on groundhit.
*Causes ground bounce on Overdrive air hit.
*First hit cannot hit grounded opponents, even if hitboxes overlap.

|description=
Jin launches a fast shockwave of slashes that flies toward the opponent. 
----
'''Normal Version'''

It can catch people off guard or pushing buttons from time to time during neutral. Pretty useful against projectile zoners. Definitely not a super you want to use up close, as it has a small minimum distance in order to connect. You WILL get hit out of the startup if a projectile is already too close to you or a poke is about to touch you when you finish inputting the move, so don't throw it out on a whim.
----
'''Overdrive Version'''

During Overdrive, the wave will freeze the opponent and Jin will deal several extra hits. Serves you as the combo ender as it has the highest Minimum Damage during Overdrive at 1120. However, {{clr|D|632146D}} is still a better ender in the corner due to Touga missing most of its extra hits.

*Not a singular projectile. Instead each hit of this attack is a new instantaneous projectile spawning slightly ahead of the previous.
**This property allows this move to destroy even other level 2 projectiles without being affected by the time it reaches the opponent.
*Cannot hit more than 5 times in total, regardless of hitboxes.

'''Normal Version'''

Jin launches a very high speed projectile at 30 degrees upwards (ground version) or 30 degrees downwards (Aerial version). Outside Overdrive, this is your go-to combo finisher when you need to add extra damage to a combo. 
----
'''Overdrive Version'''

During Overdrive the damage increases and the recovery decreases, making it possible to link other supers after this move if the air version was done close enough to the ground (after 6B or as a TK motion), in the corner however you can link a microdash {{clr|C|3C}} to continue your combo meterless or finish it with a microdash {{clr|C|3C}} > EA.

A super parry, akin to what Hakumen has.
----
'''Normal Version'''

Situational counter reversal that catches both highs and lows, can be effective when used against safejumps or to escape setups meant to pin down Jin in blockstun such as Carl's Rhapsody of Memories ({{clr|D|236236D}}) or Tsubaki's Requiem Maledictus ({{clr|B|632146B}}). In these situations, the opponent can often avoid the attack, but Jin is fully invincible so the best they can do is get a meaty afterwards.

It should be noted that it can punish certain projectile attacks. Since superflash and guard point begin on the first frame, if the guard point blocks during the superflash, Jin skips his part of the super flash and goes right into the attack while everything else is still paused as normal for the superflash, even on projectile attacks, effectively the attack's startup time becomes 21F.
----
'''Overdrive Version'''

OD version deals extra hits and has a cooler ender. Not that you shouldn't use it, but your reversal options all freezes during OD and allows for possibly more damaging combos.

|description=
One of Jin's better combo enders in Active Flow. It's particularly great for Jin because it keeps the opponent near Jin, allowing for solid oki. It also hits an angle, so it functions well as an antiair. The pushback also makes it difficult for most characters to punish this move. On regular block, only characters with long and quick jabs (e.g Ragna {{clr|A|5A}}) can punish this after a microdash. On instant block, however, most of the cast can punish this move. Like many EAs with good vertical hitboxes, this move has a relatively average horizontal hitbox. At some spacings, certain characters can even duck and cause this move to whiff entirely. However, this spacing is very precise and difficult to maintain in a match.
*Good vertical hitbox, not so good horizontally.
*[[BBCF/Mechanics#Exceed_Accel| Otherwise behaves like every other Exceed Accel.]]

{{BBCF Move Card

|description=
A rather impractical fullscreen low, a bit harder to use due to Jin's reliance on meter. It combos from ground throws, {{clr|D|2D}}, {{clr|D|6D}}, Counterhit {{clr|D|j.D}} if it connects at its lowest possible height, Counterhit {{clr|C|6C}}, Counterhit {{clr|C|3C}} and Fatal Counter {{clr|C|22C}}.

Because the invul runs out as the move becomes active, it's possible for it to trade. When this happens, Jin will get counter hit and fail to continue into rest of the Astral, while the opponent will be staggered but take no damage.
*Long invuln to go with its long startup, but runs out of invuln just before becoming active.
