I really like how the character introduction tells Jin's story so far instead of jumping straight to the action like a SF guide. Tekken's story is there and it's rich. I bet nobody until now had thought of the metaphor in Devil Jin's chains. That part is genius.
I do have one objection, however. Being Jin Japanese, why would TMM go and tell the meaning of his name in Korean and in some other language and not explain it in its original language, which is Japanese? And the meaning, by the way, is "benevolence", which still relates to the principles Jun taught him.
Regarding the guide itself, it's pretty explicit. It's amazingly well explained. There's no room for doubt. Everything essential and even not so essential was covered. There's really no need to talk about things nobody uses like Power Stance or 3,1 or Kazama Style 5 hit combo. The links to the parry, movement and Omen Stance guides were a very good way to avoid repeating the same thing and have some sort of video interactivity.
Now, TMM did miss a punish. f1+2 is Jin's 14 frame punisher. Despite that, overall, this is the perfect introduction for any player looking to pick up Jin.
Ocelot: Thank you for a very thoughtful review! I like how positive it was as well! Cheers!
Abner: A guide to me is not complete without a character bio. But anyway the chapter menu was implemented so people could watch only the parts they are interested in.
The Main Man - Thanks for great source of Tekken info. Your channel is one of few places where one can find ORGANISED and valuable Tekken knowledge. Great job!

Well done!
I appreciate the effort, but I'd rather he does a separate retrospective on the characters instead of including it with the gameplay guide.
