As a new player to the game, and wanting to use Jin (my fav character) how important is it to be consistent and use electrics? I understand he's different to the other mishimas, and hear he does well without using it, but it's obviously a very strong tool.
I sat in practice for over an hour and couldn't get it once lol, as a new player is it okay to not even worry about it and just do regular wind God fist for now?

Jin is a cool character, but honestly he is extremely dificult to master in this game.
In a scale of 1 to 10 i would definitely give him 10.
Compared to him only Akira Yuki in VF, where if you really master everything he becomes top tier, Jin won't become top tier but he gets close enough.
His main problems are reach, anything fast is too short or high, anything reaching is way to slow with mostly no track at all, so the major issue you will find its going to be ppl stealing turns on your hits.
Beware of moves like DB4, d4, 2, 1 also b+2, 1, df1, those tend to be -2 to +6 and this its still not plus enough to enforce some guessing, so you gotta make them respect beyond that so you can start throwing out the heavy stuff and its a really hard thing to do.
EWHF is super dificult, it needs to be perfect frame all the time because the WHF version only launches on CH
his combos are average damage without microdash which can get to 60+, but if you learn microdashes then he gets to 70+ which is the damage recommended to be aimed for, but at the expenses of an almost insane execution barrier.
He is stiff without advanced movement, like Gesse he also doesn't have a good backdash, its super short, you compensate that with Korean backdashes, wavedashes, intimidating dashes and so on.
PS4 lag powers you down, you miss time microdash, you can't react properly, you can sidestep properly, you can't punish properly, considering Jin is among the chars with a huge execution at the highest levels, this is going to cost ya in a long run.
But that's high level, at the beginner level he is very friendly and you can take his barriers one exercise at the time.
His F4 can be super dirty because its among the best keep out tools in the game.
His EWHF its tempting to throw it out there, but you make the most of it when used to pressure, or when you can force some heavy whiffs on characters, rewarded with your movement.
My YT channel has anything you need to learn about jim kazoomer, and we also have a jin discord which contains all the information out there.

Its all about quick adaption. I had a game online vs Paul, and he LITERALLY gave up 2 rounds just so he can murder me 3 straight. Which is dirty, but this game is all about adapting to your opponent and making the right guesses. You can't just throw out an attack unless you know how to connect with it next. Know what footsies you can use to keep your opponent at bay. And most importantly, MOST PLAYERS DO NO BLOCK LOW! So you will learn quick how to take advantage of that, and condition their ass when you're ready to throw out that launcher combo.
