As a result, he’s more versatile, can adapt well to different players and characters and has fewer bad matchups, but he sacrifices raw power in the form of specialization that his other Mishima counterparts can boast. His punishment and 50/50 is not quite on the tier of Kazuya, and his pressure and poking is not quite as good as Heihachi’s.
In Mishima terms, Devil Jin is generally considered a middle ground between Kazuya’s solid keep-out defensive play and Heihachi’s in-your-face pressure game. He really isn’t lacking in any department.
He has an answer for every situation – top tier punishment, pressure and combo damage, great mixups with his amazing mids and lows, even some powerful pokes and evasive moves, and a devastating 50/50 for good measure. In fact, people often have trouble pointing out Devil Jin’s weaknesses. He’s a very well-rounded character, but “jack of all trades, master of none” doesn’t really apply here. Devil Jin is one of the three “real” Mishimas.
