Jin is Kazuya's Echo Fighter and is classified as Fighter #81ε. He was revealed in a Twitter announcement on November 1st, 20XX. Jin shares many similarities with his father Kazuya, but differs from him in attack properties, in addition to possessing a couple new attacks of his own, similarly to Ken.
Isshin Chiba reprises his role as voice provider of Jin in all versions of the game
Jin shares the same stats and attributes as his father, however, he has different effects to several of his attacks, as well as entirely new attacks of his own.
Jin possesses a different Rage Drive from Kazuya, requiring the input of both A+B during a Crouch Dash. The result is a 4-hit combo: Twin Pistons followed by a shorthop straight kick and capped off with a haymaker. This deals a total of 21% with strong knockback.
Several similarly-animated moves in his moveset are named differently. (Ex. Kazuya's "Glorious Demon God Fist" is renamed to "Corpse Thrust" on Jin)
Demon God Fist is replaced with Bamboo Splitter, an electrical roundhouse kick. The latter has the same properties as the former, however.
Jin takes flight and swoops under his opponent before shooting them into the sky with a red forehead laser. He then grinds their face along the ground and finishes them off with a second forehead laser.
