Jin Saotome

This Jin MIGHT have been considered "good enough" a year or two ago - but since Sunboy released a SUPERB and nearly arcade perfect Jin recently, this character just BITES.

Let's take it from the top. Most of Jin's attacks don't hit right. You can hit Jin back after most of his attacks and he won't be able to stop you. Also, his HCB+Kick throw does no damage at all. Plus, most of his basic attacks give tons of "invalid state" error messages.

The sound isn't bad, but that's hard to mess up.

And now, the biggest, stupidest bug there is - once Jin gets low enough on life and his little armor mode thingy is active, he cannot be damaged by the basics of ANOTHER Jin, and I'm sure the same of a lot of other attacks. This is just UNACCEPTABLE. An unbeatable character is just no fun at all.


Pros and Cons
+ Umm... err...
- It's all been done before, and better.

Overall Score: 9
