Not to be mean but I seriously don't believe Jin is Mid tier. There's no way. Sorry JDCR but no.
True, that is quite hard to believe really, in my eyes he looks like Higher mid to S-
Lets start with this
Was discussing with Smoke of Finland and he says this is pretty normal, well, if that's the case and everyone is willing to let this slide then i'm okay with it, even tho i know this looks broken at my eyes.
And then, FR Jin got buffs to compensate the nerfs from 7.0 version where his uf2 used to crumple on CH for a free combo, so he was getting damage off everything, guaranteed F4 on knockdowns and of course, he was one of the characters taking advantage of the stiff movement, due the sidestep range nerf and stiff movement to an extent. definitely a S tier character there.
In FR he got a lot of more options, ws3 a-9 move that has homing proprieties an screws on CH.
This will make sidestepping Jin very hard to do since on hit it frame traps with the spin grounded animation.
13~f goes into zen, lets not forget that Zen is now a true high crushing move
F4~zen cancel is -6
bf23~zen cancel is now under -9
zen~3 its a new screw on CH move that is -9 comes off from b1
this makes up for the uf2 buff crumple
New combos from bf2,3~cds~3 which has more carry and 1% more damage than any of his regular BnBs
Rage drive goes into a super plus Zen on block which his next move can come out either low or mid, worth pulling out of the blue.
Combos like
CD+4, B21 s4 S!, db223 can now be replaced with more damage and carry with:
CD+4, bf23~cds~3 S! run db223 which not only has more carry its also more damaging than Kazuya's hellsweep for the exact same 50-50 mixup situation, although Kazuya's hellsweep is faster, Jin hellsweep is just as slow as his ff3 overhead, his F4, and his own Ecd1, so there is not seeing what's coming from a wave dash.
I'm just happy my leaping side kick combos are all reverted back to full usage
