Special Style Jin: -uses heat smash at every start of the match -spams power crushes that combo-strings -uses rage art the second he gets it -never crouch blocks so he always gets low-checked -gets a perfect against Mainman -goes for a rematch after his first loss Special Style Jin is the epitome of gigachad
yeah you play someone who doesn't do things like footsies on purpose or knows how to block and it's a coin toss. almost as hard as playing a player at your level. Especially since tekken gives you so many tools to deal good damage. But eventually you totally read them and it's a cake walk but you only get 1 rematch.
Some friends who never play Tekken came over this weekend , and they were getting rounds on me doing the same exact strat as that Jin lol maybe it’s truly the secret to Tekken
@@kongchho8547 Felt the same when I played poker. People who knew NOTHING were hardest to play against. Because you can’t read anyone who can’t read their own cards lol

@@mooncalf_4534 that's a really dumb opinion.... Any noob could come with unpredictable shit in Tekken 7 too, and take a win against a player far better than them
@@aminaV_ Not really. You could definitely do that but only really for a round. As soon as the one round is up they realise they should play super defensive fundamentally and it just works. You can't hit shit anymore and get punished for every dumb random move you throw out, GG. Like people have played vs low rank players and won using only a single counterhit jab over and over after blocking shit. Because that's a reliable strategy in T7 against random/weak offence and it isn't in T8 because aggression is so busted.
*T8 Full match* | 12:33 - 21:13 ☝️ *That Special Style Jin Player (PMP Gallo)* just became a *Protagonist* checking how the Mainman tries to do movesets check timing. *Best Moments* | 12:55 - 13:30, 14:00 - 15:15 , 17:05 - 18:30 , 19:25 - 19:55 And 20:20 - 20:40 . 👍
Indeed, I am not as good as main man but I am actually a Vanquisher with 90k prowess, and people with 30-40k prowess only using special list give me the most trouble. They are so unpredictable…😅
@@ComYuriYI've been stuck at Assailant personally I'm really struggling to overcome it personally but haven't loss to a special style player yet ive been severely struggling to fight Paul and Jun though they feel busted to me
The special style Jin match was absolutely hilarious dark souls boss indeed. I don't normally pick the most popular characters but with Reina I had to make an exception, She feels like a traditional Tekken character where we've had so many wacky cheesy characters in recent games.
@@legend0945 I just don't get drawn to the usually stoic/edgy main protagonist archetype but Reina has a cool factor and playstyle that appeals to me (Her strong movement was a big selling point).
@@DayFul oh,ok. I thought you meant that you just ditched things that are popular just because they're popular. Because you're "BaSeD" you know. But you seem fine.
@@legend0945 To be fair Victor is a bit annoying online lol. But I don’t really hate his character. Kinda like what the OP said gimmicky and certain wacky characters aren’t really my type of preference in Tekken. Always been more of a traditional martial arts oriented type person.
@@DayFul I’ve really liked Reina’s character since her trailer. Other than Anna Williams, she’s the best female character that I’ve liked so far in the roster even personality wise.
the most amazing part about the Special Style Jin Boss is that never ONCE does he do an air combo. it's all power crush, lows, heat and rage art. he was basically pulling his punches and gimping himself
EXACTLY! If he did air combos he could've won, I really hope tmm runs into him again when that guy finally learns to press triangle, so that we can finally see if he's really the protagonist or not 😂
That Special style Jin was crazy. I can relate. I lost to a special style Victor recently. I was losing my mind he was teleporting all over the place. I might have to take some notes they know something i don't
@@maguszero8565 Crazy you say that, I fought one and had a similar match as TMM only difference is once raven lost he keft😂 but he definitely was beating my ass first two rounds.
I've gotta say that it's really cool to see a detailed video on Reina from this channel and then within a day or so I get a whole hour video of you specifically pointing out all the things that you mentioned in that video in actual fights because now it actually makes more sense in my brain having been exposed to the idea but then having some time to think on it only to come back later and see it used in practice effectively.
It's ridiculously crazy how the special style Jin was the most difficult opponent. That shit was funny as hell. The guy definitely won the "People's Choice Award".
That Jin player has hone'd his Sixth Sense to the realm of the highest. Man is Rock Lee with the weights on. I don't even wanna know what that man is capable of with Special Style Off...
17:58 I felt the exact same way. I once fought a Nina while we were both in Vanquisher rank. I’m actually happy that Special Style helps new players. My diehard MK friend can finally join in on the fun.
@@MrMagic159 i didn't mean it like that... It's just that Tekken is hella different. It's 3D and there's not alot of jumping around. No projectiles and all that
Damn watching my dragunov is funny, im a bit better now i think and i kept “pressing into that” because i had no idea what moves reina could do and thought it was my turn, i was also hyped i was playing the mainman himself, im back to tekken after not playing 7 for like a year and i never labbed or learnt how to play good then, im really trying in 8 though
@@tonysmith9905 thankyou man, im literally in practice right now going through her and victors stuff checking their frames and trying to familiarise myself with their animations
People are probably gonna clown on that Jin for using special style, but i was rooting my ASS off for him the entire time, dude's a legend It really shows how special style in this game can close the gap and teach fundamentals like whiff punishing, spacing and take the execution edge off of the better player, while still being beatable if you answer accordingly
Doesn't really close the gap. Mainman just didn't know how to punish it with Reina. She can get a full punish off into sentai pressure blocking the power crush, he just didn't know. I've done this several times to specialty scrubs.
@@sem_aki I've beaten plenty already. Dude just spams the same thing over and over not realizing he's negative. Dude prolly doesn't even know what negative means.
@@tonysmith9905can you please explain more detailed? Sentai stance is blocking a power crush or what? I don't really understand you. As far as I know Sentai stance is just an animation that gives you extra movements and if you get a hit during this animation (by a 10 frame poke, for example), your mixup is going to be stopped, no? (That actually happens a few times in the video and also some of the players have so good reaction so they can interrupt my Sentai EACH_FUCKN_TIME. It makes me mad lol)
@@stanislavchugunov No, what I mean is Jin after using that power crush, if i't sblocked, is so negative that 112 can connect fully if Jin continues to mash. Then you go into sentai for added pressure. 112 into sentai is a full punish here, just remember to only do the full string if he gets hit by the first. If you're getting hit out of sentai after the string then you're choosing a bad option. There's lots of moves, but usually what I like to do is the grab since it can't be teched and it's prettye fast. That then sets you up for f4, which is +2 on block. Can then once again go into 112 pressure from here since it'll beat any thing that's not a low or has weird movements. Simple game plan for low rank Reina: frame traps with 112 sentai 3 (3 is +2 on block after all that) just remember to not do 2 if they block 11s f4 (+2 on block) running 3 (+6 on block) sentai 1 is a fast power crush, but -14 on block, better against mashers, bad vs patient ppl, thankfully not launch punishable against MOST of the cast sentai grab sets you up for continued pressure
Jin is so hilariously effective with a small amount of moves, imagine if that guy had played tekken for more than 2 hours and knew about ff2 and incorporated that along with the disgusting low
reminds me of early tekken 7 days when I was a third year in university. I love how TMM evolved as a player and a person. Even though he joked about age, he improved so much.
The jin fights were the most hilarious thing I've seen in a tekken video in a while, if not probably ever. I was crying of laughter during every single second of it😂😂😂😂😂, I just had to rewatch them lmao. Imagine if he did air combos, he would be so busted
12:58 "Is he a special style Jin? ... He is truly the protagonist, he's playing story mode!". I laughed so loud, what a wholesome burn xD xD xD But than you still gave him credit, really nice.
First time I encountered a Special Style that just spammed Power Crush 70% of the time, with instant heat smash and rage arts and a couple lows mixed in (possibly by mistake), I also reacted 17:57
hey just letting you know at 17:21 your gpu was artifacting (white dots/sparkles) like crazy i've also seen it happen to kazuya in character select but it only happens to me whenever i use dlss
that special style jin opponent is so relatable. You fight someone who is very fundementally good at the game, you can get into the fun tempo of that fight. Then you fight someone like the special style jin who plays the game in the most basic boring way. This player usually perfects the art and timing of about 5 or 6 moves. And for a long time that's all they use and it's crazy how good they are with it. I remember having tough fights with nooby Bryan Fury's just because they were so good at timing the snake edge behind 4 or 5 of the same flow chart combos.
I just started playing and have been learning Kazuya. How would you define what makes Reina different from him? I know his Hell Sweep is better because it can knock down and set up his nasty 50/50... but she has SO MANY MOVES and options that she has access to. With access to those plus the Mishima moves and an electric, what are the things Kazuya offers that she doesn't?
Special style Jin is basically the reason why they made him very accessible. It attracts newcoomers to Tekken which is always a good thing. He be crazy tho lol
Honestly that special style jin wasnt bad. Had patience even if he saw stuff whiff and a lot of his attacks were well placed. He mixed his lows and highs enough to get mainman to start crouching him. Though Mainman not punishing the powercrush when he blocked it was a little weird.
