By arrow, by staff, or by chakram.


Come here to talk all things Kung Jin!


@CrimsonShadow lock until midnight?

 

[Vjeekes]

I think, in time, Kung Jin will be one of the strongest character. Its still early but he seems to be very complete.
He has AMAZING mixups, zoning tools, good reach, ...
After 2 days i'm completely in love with Mr Jin

 

[KIllaByte]

Kung Jin is the fastest I've ever picked up a character.
Bojutsu, babe.
GIMME THAT B1, 4 HIT CONFIRM
I'LL TAKE THAT F2, 4 HIT CONFIRM.
B2, 1, 4 please.
All of these, at any point, go into backfoward 4's up slam,
or EX down back 3's spin launcher for NJP, Divekick, B2, 1 spins for 35 or 40%...

 

[Briyen]

Hear hear! Wanted to main Kung Jin since he was announced because we share the same first name hah, and I'm so glad he absolutely WRECKS

but his shaolin variant...

can't see it being picked over Spectral or Bojutsu

 

[Atriox]

I wanna get good with Ancestral and Shaolin. Jin is swag as fuck. It's funny because pre-launch I thought he was the least appealing new character, and now he's my favourite.

 

[Vjeekes]

looks like we share all the same love

 

[jimmykricket_]

He's gay! I love it!

 

[joey-dee8]

bojutsu all the way ! Can't seem to play decent with anyone but him

 

[Jack White]

Kung Jin confirmed as gay:

When you're beating scrubs and they start crying about how "gay" your character is, don't even deny. Just be like "Ya, and?"

 

[Kingofthedead45]

Been thinking, should we have a thread were we post the krypt cords for all of kung jin's unlocks? Or rather keep that in here? Also has anyone found anything speaking of which?

 

[Derpin Errday]

I never thought I would find a character I like more than Sub. I feel like he was made for me.

 

[BDMao88]

I'm surprised there isn't a massive following for him.

I was having a character crisis, I tried him out and fell in love. Ryan Hart made him look awesome, I was just worried about that jump.

The dive kick has a great high risk high reward factor, great punisher.

 

[Monokeros]

Don't know the right place to post this but I found this silly glitch with Kung Jin's Shaolin Variation

If you cancel his run into his 2 with the Shaolin Variation he never wields the Chakram he uses in the attack although you still hear the sound. Doesn't seem to affect the attack hitbox though it just looks funny.

Which variation do you use? Untill now I justed played Bojutsu and it is great.

 

[M.D.]

Sooo...

Bo jitsu doesn't seem to have any weakness yet.

He has the first day Aquaman stuff. B14 and F24 are both 0 on block, and one is overhead and one is low. Both greatly hitconfirmable into his meterless 40%. Their range is bigger than any string in the game, so they can whif punish almost anything and can't be outpoked.

The divekick tracks every run and has Sonya's level property of punishing d3s and d4s, and is full comboable without meter.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

 

[Lockhart sX]

I'm sure most of us use Bojutsu for obvious reason. He still has a his good zoning options, plus so many different ways to go into his damaging combo's. I don't really see the need to use any other variation. Maybe ancestral since arrows with multiple uses. I do like the arrow that drains the opponents burn meter, but it's not as viable Bojutsu. One touch in Bojutsu could be atleast almost 40% life. I don't understand the point of Shaolin at all. Maybe someone can shed some light for me.

 

[BDMao88]

Bojutsu. I will try ancestral later, and like many I don't know the point of shaolin.

I personally like Ancestral more than Bojutsu, but both variations are really fun to play but i can see why most people would choose Bojusu because the damage is insane compared to Ancestral

I cant emphasise how good 343 is. 8 frame startup, mid hitting, and mostly neutral throughout. Abuse it.

 

[SecretAgent226]

Here is a Kung Jin Combo that does 40%

 

[Cage Redfield]

What's the meterless 40% I keep hearing about for this character? Looking at Bojutsu rn and I'm getting 30% without a jump in punch.

 

[SecretAgent226]

I cant seem to get a 40% meterless either, so far the closest I got was a 38% corner combo and a 35% midscreen combo

 

[Kombat Chef]

Any Good shaolin combos? ive been using bojitsu but not really likeing it

The first 3 is actually a high, but this is his best punishment option.

There isn't actually a meter less 40%.

He gets 35% from his overhead and low starters. He can use 3,4 starter for 38%.
