it's just a fact that i beat opponents with exactly 2 combos (214D + snow flower storm) with jin I would never have beaten with litchi nor ragna. and even if online ranks don't mean jack shit i have not been able to beat any level 30 + opponents with my "main chars" - with jin i got no problem doing so. and in case the jin players of you feel affronted: i don't think that he's imbalanced nor that this would apply for the real top notch play where everyone uses his char to its full potential - but if i'm able to beat much stronger opponents with only ice car + blade storm (who would have RAPED me had i taken litchi or ragna) and basically making fun of them in doing that i call it cheesy. this seems to work for most starters with jin and that's what i'm frustrated about. the basics of this char are so easy to pick up and execute and it appears that the "equally skilled" opponent has to try much harder to win (on low level play). but most of you guys are in a whole other league anyway and these are not your concerns so i guess i have to bear that the "received balance" at low level play is just very different from the level you play at. | ||

so, to illustrate what I mean I uploaded the match vs. the level 45 taokaka. as you can see I don't even know exactly what I'm doing - it's the first time playing jin for me - and still it seems to be enough to take out this guy who, after all, played to level 45 with his char... so.. | ||

Anyway, it would really be more productive to post a video of you losing to a Jin, y'know, so we could give advice which you could then apply and figure out why Jin isn't overpowered at all. There's nothing we can say about your bad Jin beating a bad Tao that'll magically allow you to see how your bad Jin would've lost to a good Tao. | ||

 Could've taken it home, but I didn't figure out how to fight taokaka properly within winner's / grand finals. Given I had 2 bo5 sets to get a grasp of it, I actually did make the grand finals very close. But that crouch shit + her wierd drive jump in arc that dodges both 6d and 2d took me out of winner's free lolol.It was recorded, but I don't know who's camera it was so I'm not sure if it's going on youtube  ghardo, your problem probably lies with how you play. With jin, you're not attempting to learn real combos, understand matchups, etc at all. You're just hitting small gauranteed combos. In all likelihood, when you play litchi, you drop combos all day, which makes you not only miss out on damage but puts you in bad positions (like completely losing your offense, possibly leaving yourself wide open for punishment etc.). Add in a grain of salt with every match you play online strictly because it's online. Some connections are bearable, some are downright disgusting. And the worse you are, the less it affects you (which is why there are so many shitty online jins mashing ice car lol). | ||

But yea, vs tao, after 5dd if theyre crouching to duck any followup swords: 236D~C, j.2dd, and dash in mixups are the way to go, with vast majority of the emphasis on dash in mixups. If only I knew that before today I'd be a little richer ; ; Edit: On August 09 2009 18:30 Ginseng wrote: So Trumpet, how's your v-13 now? haha With any luck, I'll be able to just link you via youtube! But not significantly different, just added a relaunch RC combo and a few tech traps into the mix. And learned that it actually is possible to combo off jump in j.c (with 2c into w/e) lol. I still used 80% of my bursts above 80% life, do 6C on 2C block instead of going high / low, etc. Bad player 4 lyf. | ||

Demoninja: Most Taos don't know what they're doing, especially online. I fortunately get to play vs a great Tao in the form of Taokakaftw/TaoFTW at SVGL at times or whenever there's a session(we never really have console sessions). Though the SVGL BB machine got moved to the back due to new sf4 head-to-head cabinets haha. | ||

Usually I'll go with the default blue/white but sometimes I like to rock with the pink Nu. sung_moon got it right! I have a strict policy of picking color with short kick (aka D for bb). Which is why sf4's color picking method is bull shit D: It's actually useful in tourneys because I can tell right away whether or not my buttons are correct before the match starts  (Not that I ever play without checking buttons anyway). | ||
