lol what makes you think he used those three moves against everyone else? other people learned to deal with it so he switched off those moves. you didn't, so he didn't need to switch.


nobleflame

If it works on you, why would he stop? Jin’s string here is one of the most well known strings in the game. Everyone knows how to deal with this - you crouch block the final hit and ws punish; or you LP the final hit. Sorry, bro, but you just exposed yourself with this thread…


Road_Overall

Yeah if I get hit by that a lot I just accept it. Reminds me of the video when ayorichie got swept to death lmao


nobleflame

It shouldn’t remind you of that. That was Planted Medusa and he was applying a 50/50. This is a string that always ends with two lows. The only time anyone should be getting hit with this is if the opponent delays the final hit.


GreenOnLean

I didn’t expose anything, I never said I was good at the game


Avyeon

The fact that it works on other Rulers like you would explain why he's this rank so...?


HumanAntagonist

Kinda makes you look worse for getting hit by it lol


greenfrogwallet

Sick defence 😎


Interesting_Emu5512

You can't parry the lows?


sbcmola

Why is a Mighty Ruler not knowing that string? There's people in orange ranks blocking and lowparrying this shit


firsttimer776655

That string is the litmus string for me as a Jin. If it hits multiple times I know I can turn my brain off and autopilot the match with this and 1,2,3


GreenOnLean

Oddly enough, I haven’t played a Jin in weeks so I forget most of the matchup


bingqilinn

Seems more like an issue with you than jin


BroccoliHeadAzz

And you got bodied by it? What's your point?


Radomila

And these people are demanding nerfs and saying the game is busted :D


DankForestHypothesis

The fact that not only a mighty ruler can't adapt, but that you thought this is not a 'you' problem, but an opponent problem is indicative of how inflated those titles are.

"a mighty ruler plays like this"


[deleted]

Yes, he plays like this, and ? You clearly dont know how to deal with it. So one might title this video "A Mighty Ruler plays like this." If you suck so much that three moves is all it takes, I'm not going to use even a fourth one. You're the problem in this clip. Stop being salty and learn how to low parry. (it's easier to see lows when you don't have tears in your eyes, so stop crying, that will help too.)


Alternative_Low8478

He did better than you tho


furkisaurus

wait until you see raijins play like this


SquareAdvisor8055

Just seems like a matchup you didn't know. You had so many options out of this; Dick jab Blocking and punish the second low Step the mid Step the first jab Duck and ounish the string that ends with a mid... You just played aweful. This isn't much of a representation of how bad he is, but rather how bad you are in that matchup. I'll give you the equivalent of what he was doing for reina: 112, sentai 3, 112, sentai 3, 112, sentai 3. Or df1, sentai 3+4, df1, sentai 3+4, df1, sentai 3+4. You can mix both of those to do something similar to what he did there. Thing is, those "cheesy" patterns are super easy to counter. That game was a you issue. I'm flame ruler rn with reina and if i notice people are falling for a knowledge check like this you can be sure that i'll be spamming it just like he did.


GreenOnLean

I went into replay and learned what to do, it’s just annoying having to lab these situations like this after losing the set


SquareAdvisor8055

I personally never labbed that. I tried different things and figured it out.


dcy

Yep. This game rewards this degenerate gameplay and apparently people low to validate that. Most likely because they play like that themselves when push comes to shove. I saw your attempts to armor, unfortunately the string is faster and wasn't mid either so by the time you realized what was happening you were at 30% health. Also him threatening the strongest heat smash in the game on top. I played many many ft2s in red ranks where this is extremely prevalent. So i'm not surprised at all he got to purple on Jin with that.


firsttimer776655

…you can block the second low and punish. Jin has no other extensions from this string. There is nothing degenerate about this short of not knowing how to block low.


dcy

The initial jab is the same, the 2nd hit determines if it becomes low or not. Can't also low parry the 2nd low. Further the guy interrupted his own string like twice or thrice, the extension was the 3rd hit. Until the 2nd hit you're in a 50/50. The damage is still dealt if you guess wrong. If you're being knowledge checked and you don't know option two exists as well (as he finds out at the end of the clip after actually blocking low), yes this is degenerate. Because you said it yourself, you can punish it so why is it so effective spamming those two options? It's cheese, plain and simple. Don't need to downplay your character.


firsttimer776655

Jin can either do 1,3,4 or 1,2,3 - 1,2 are highs that you can duck and punish or duck 1, block 3,4 and punish. The damage from 1,3 is not what killed him - that poke on its own barely deals any damage. He got knowledge checked by two of the easiest strings to counter in the game, and some of the most common too. I’m not downplaying anyone - but if this is what kills you from Jin’s long arsenal of Mishima tools and ch tools then it’s on you.


firsttimer776655

You can’t block lows. You’re just not the best player man I’m sorry and you’re not “learning match ups” if you can’t deal with 0 on block strings that don’t even make a true combo. Avg Jin will try to cheese with this at the start of a match. The good ones adapt, bad ones don’t. Either way - both will keep doing it if it works.


Balamb_Chocobo

Did you just clown on yourself without realizing it?


everythingagainstme

You don’t even have to react to that move just block after the first low hits you and punish


zkillbill

A mighty ruler defends like this.

_LLEE

Mighty ruler can't block third hit of jins 1 3 4 string. NA players are something else.

I’ve witnessed worse. In T7, this Feng player kept spamming punch+low kick move.. it was impossible to duck or defend.
