I’m going to predict he brings up Angel Jin, who is/was a fluke. Winning a tourney on bad sticks and without the participation of Leedy/Hole Man/Nin/etc. doesn’t prove shit
agreed.
ive never joined this angel jin bandwagon, and if he ever came to the states, id play him jin vs jin for money.
I’ve read enough of your posts on TZ to know how you feel about him lol. Jin sucks, AND he’s a boring character. Not a good combination
Some of you guys are over-exaggerating for no reason. Live with the update and go from there. Tekken 5 was a rushed game in the first place and 5.1 is what T5 was meant to be.
STFU and play the updated game with “the characters you like regardless of change.”
Yeah, Pauls d+4,2:1+2 is like T4 and ff+2:1 you can’t duck the second hit. Makes me happier for Paul but I still think he needs something else so I still won’t play with him.
I think you underestimate people too much, sure T5 Jin isn’t like T4 Jin, but the matter of fact is that he beat White Sumire’s Nina or more like destroyed, and isn’t White Sumire supposed to have one of the best Nina’s in S. Korea. Hey may have not of gone up against guys like Nin, Hole Man, or Leedy, but then again, he didn’t go up against random scrub players and get praised for being a good Jin player, he played against solid players while using Jin, I give him credit for that.
I’m not saying OMG, Angel Jin is the roxxur’s and he’ll own you all and Jin will be Top Tier for 5.1 because I know that he’ll still stay mid tier. Btw, Jom, I would love to see you money match Angel Jin, in a Jin vs. Jin match, please post that up in Zaibatsu for all to see if you believe Angel Jin wasn’t a good Jin player at all, I’m sure that someone could work something out so that you two could meat and square off.
At the end of the day, Jin is trash. Unless we learn of some new changes, he’ll still suck.
I like Jin. :sad:
Does being mid-tier mean you suck all of a sudden?
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
I am SO happy I’m not one of these tournament jocking tekken players who watch Korea vids with a microscope. I don’t think I’d ever be able to enjoy playing the game.
Question is, is Angel Jin going to EVO?
Dude, you should challenge Jom.
I play Jin, what Zig says is pretty much true. Jin is low mid so yes you could possibly still win with him, its really fucking hard and not very likely.
I’m pretty sure I saw a vid of him against Leedy. And he beat Leedy.
Back when Leedy was still Kaz though.
Here is one for the rumor mill. Posted on TZ

5.1 is released on 11th of July, in arcades on the 12th.
and
New/Playable Characters for Tekken 5.1
- Kunimitsu
- Jinpachi
- Devil (fully transformed, Angel not confirmed)
- Alex (Palette swap, customizable item for Roger Jr.)
- Miharu (Palette swap, customizable item for Ling)
Not sure how much is true, just add more fuel to the fire :badboy:.
there are alot of rumors flying around with bryan. ive heard his fb2 might not be safe on block anymore. if they take away all his launchers it would be retarded. hes always had safe launchers because he had nothing to mix them up with. if he now has punishable launchers + no scary low attacks theres no way hed be top tier, even with ws+3 ch. you could already out turtle bryan to win it would just make doing that easier.
d+3+4,2,3 was always a ch combo as far as i know
b+1 obviously you could put as a minus, there is no plus to that situation. the new follow up sounds ok but its a big downgrade from getting a guaranteed combo
also put in his - tech catches are gone. wall combo is gone. i dont really have a problem with that. but they are changing his foundation. a safe character with no good mix ups. now hes not a safe character and still doesnt have the mix ups, go figure lol. i really hope fb+2 stays safe on block. if it does i think he could still hang well in the game.
the only thing special about him now will be his taunt and overall game near the wall will still be strong. outside of walls he will be low mid tier. with walls he will be mid tier.
It does when you’re as shitty as Jin. Only real reason is mid-tier is 'cause he has damage. Actually hitting you, on the other hand…God he’s trash.
They wouldn’t report that combo all hitting on CH if it did already… It all hits on the wall.
b+1 leaving you in knee stun on normal hit with +5 is a little scary, as he’s still in your fucking face, and he still has quick moves to keep you blocking…
And I noted the overall tech catch game is gone, no need to do single notes for everyone.
uf+4 is punishable?
Lol, it’s like Namco is actually mad AT the [top tier] characters.
Namco: How DARE you be top tier?!
Steve: But I-
smack
Namco: No safe launcher for you! Mmmm yeah, and that ALB after 1,2,1… the fuck was you thinkin’?
Are you just referring to Bryan’s wall game or are you saying that wall combos are impossible for everyone now? My dear Bruce.
He’s referring to the wall tech BS. The primary goal of the tech roll change WAS to rape that stupid Bryan BS. Everything else is just a side effect.
if angel jin ever came to the u.s., i would definitely play him for money.
at this point though evo isnt even a likely idea to me and if i go it wont be to play t5 seriously, itll be to hang out with all the people i know and get trashed and do stupid shit.
