Jin Kazama

Jin Kazama is a main character from the Tekken series and widely considered the face of Tekken since Tekken 3. i believe he would be an interesting character being the first "stance" based fighter in smash. All of jin's specials would put him in specific non damaging stances. they would have multiple damaging options out of them if a direction and "a" were pressed, and could be canceled into other stances if a direction and "b" were pressed
 

if you think heihachi would be a better pick for a tekken rep or if you want to show support to both, heres a link to the heihachi thread.:

Support for sure, Tekken needs some sort of representation, but my biggest gripe is that would the Up B transform him into Devil Jin for a moment? I'm no Tekken fan, but I know Devil Jin is a big deal in the lore, and while as a FS makes sense, it just feels weird for a few seconds Jin would transform like that. I do like the stance idea though.

it would work similarly to tekken tags great combo or his super in sfxt where he would grow wings for a moment.

I never played tekken before but the moveset is pretty good so you have my support.

I personally believe that Heihachi is a better choice, but that doesn't mean I won't support Jin anyway.

edit: my friend told me it looked cluttered so i tried to fix it

added support

Support, but I do think Heihachi should be the first Tekken rep.

Yes!

I'll support, but I will agree with Naughty Ottsel's opinion that should Tekken be represented in Crusade, Heihachi should be the primary candidate.

I'm a fan of the moveset and support the character all around

but i agree that Heihachi should probably be our Tekken rep

I support.

Also, Heihachi pls

i agree that the tekken rep would probably be Hehachi , but since there's already one for Heihachi i did Jin.

A Tekken character would be neat, I'd choose Kazuya tho, he can change into his devil form easily and makes more sense. Regardless, you got my support.

I say keep Jin, he's more or less the face of the franchise now and would have the most appeal. I would say add Heihachi and Jin but their movesets are too similar to both make the cut,

also sad to see that electric wind god fist is not in the moveset somewhere, a relatively iconic mishima move

that would probably replace or be a specific timing version of the "f+a f special" like how super missiles or ryu's ex specials work

ok that makes sense,^

and actually, I was thinking for the final smash, devil jin should be fully playable with a standalone moveset, like how in tekken 7, Kazuya's rage art triggers Devil Kazuya. The final smash would end after receiving a certain amount of damage, say 50% or so.

that sounds cool kinda like a goku situation. wouldn't that be alot of extra effort on the spriters though?

How so? Jin's moveset from Tekken 4 and onward (which is what this moveset is based off of) is nothing like the Mishima-style martial arts, with a very small number of exceptions (like wheel of pain). In any case he certainly wouldn't be a clone or even a semi-clone, each of which Crusade has plenty of already.

Anyway, I support on the condition that Heihachi gets in too (I have a link to his thread in my signature below). I honestly think we should have both (because Ryu and Chun-li, among other reasons), but if for whatever reason that's out of the question, I'd put Heihachi first. The moveset looks really cool and unique, though, and giving his specials a lot of follow-ups suits Tekken's gameplay perfectly.

U main Ridley? Chaotic Chao^
interesting im the current ridley meta in the ssbc discord.

That mains list is pretty old and I don't really play the game online anymore either way, so no.
Maybe when 9.1 rolls around, but I've never been that great at him honestly.

aw, rip
i hope u come along to the ssbc discord when 9.1 drops then we can get some games in
