Jin Kisaragi/Gameplay

"Steal the opponent's time with a A balanced-type fighter with abundant flexibility!!"

General Strategy
Jin is extremely well-rounded, and is a threat at any distance. His abilities include projectiles and rushing attacks, as well as moves with invincibility, making him highly recommended for anyone new to BlazBlue.

At mid-range, his Standing C on the ground and Jumping C attacks have long reach and are easy to use. Jumping C is especially strong when jumping vertically or backwards. From Standing C, use Revolver Action into Standing D as well as ↘ + C. Since it's Jump Cancelable, Jin can Jump forward and continue pressure with Jump ↓ + C. When Standing C hits, aim for a combo using Musou Senshouzan (Crystal Strike) or Musou Tosshougeki (Freezing Crystal Strike). If the opponent blocks it, Hishouken (Ice Blade) is a good follow up.

When close to the opponent, use middle attack → + A or Low attack Crouching B to break through their guard. Standing A and Crouching A can be connected into your choice of middle and Low attacks. → + A cannot be cancelled into Special Attacks, but suing Rapid Cancel makes it possible to combo. Use it aggressively when the Heat Gauge is over 50%. Standing B draws the opponent in closer. After drawing them in, try connecting into attacks such as a normal throw, Crouching A, or Crouching B to continue your assault.

When the opponent closes in from the air, Crouching C is a good option when they're near, otherwise meet them with Fubuki (Blizzard). If Jin himself is also in the air, Jump C is also a powerful move.

When the opponent is laying on the pressure, Rehhyou (Violent Ice) and Hirensou (Dual Ice Strike) are good for driving them away. Using them in conjunction with Rapid Cancel makes them even safer defensive options.
