How to Punish Jin Kazama

Optimal block-punishment for Jin Kazama's unsafe moves, while-standing punishes after low blocks, and whiff-punish options sorted by range.

i10 1 option

1,2,3 approx 15-22 dmg

Fastest jab. Use when opponent is -10 to -11.

i12 1 option

df+1,2 approx 25-32 dmg

Standard i12 mid punisher. Cash in on every -12 string.

i13 1 option

f+4 approx 22-30 dmg

Slower mid; use only if i12 is out of range.

i14 1 option

df+2 approx 55-72 (with BnB) dmg

Launcher. Note: actual startup is i16 per /frame-data/jin — true i14 launcher is not in this character's kit. Use at the i14+ window.

i15+ 1 option

uf+4 approx 55-78 (with BnB) dmg

Slower launcher or hopkick — use when i14 won't reach or vs jumping opponents.
