Gameplay Overview

Chin is quite atypical, both because of his size and because a lot of his potential is locked behind his gulps (rdp+P). Without drinking in fact, he doesn't have access to a lot of his special moves, he needs to drink and store stocks to use up on those moves. When he does though, he has more than decent tools and a pretty god anti air game. He has pretty good ways of converting into damage, both with and without meter. his j.C is really good, his j.B can be used as a great cross-up tool and he has an overhead in his f+A which in the corner can convert into max mode (although his loops aren't the longest nor the most damaging). He has a lot of potential to low profile attacks, but due to his size and his sleep stance move which can be cancelled with various follow-ups. He can play space control but can also play pressure and poking.

Normals

Close

• cl.A/B/C/D are cancel-able.
• cl.A/B are chain-able
• cl.B hits mid.
• cl.C is good to use in combos to cancel into special moves or his f+A command norma.
• cl.D hits twice. The first hit is a mid, but the second hit is an overhead and is special cancel-able. Both hits push Chin back a bit which can make certain cancelled special moves

Stand

• Far A is a non-cancel-able jab that can be used as a close range poke
• Far B is cancel-able
• Far C has great range, and can easily cancel into his special moves and supers
• Far D is a special cancel-able sobat kick that has lower body invincibility when active that can evade characters cr. B, slides and very low sweeps that graze the ground

Crouch

• cr.A and cr.C are cancel-able. Crouching C is whiff cancel-able
• Crouch A can be chained from cl.B.
• Crouch B hits low, can chain into cl.B, and cr.A and is not cancel-able
• Crouch C can be used as an anti-air because of it's vertical hitbox but lacks horizontal space
• Crouch D knocks the opponent down, it is only cancel-able (if hit/blocked or whiff) into his rdp+K drink special move. It can also low profile evade mid-screen projectiles.

Jump

• Jump B/C/D all cross up
• Jump A can be used as an instant overhead on some crouching characters
• Jump B as a hop can be used as an air-to-air to stop incoming hops. Can be low profiled if used as a jump or superjump.
• Jump C hits twice and can be used as an instant overhead, and to start combos
• Jump D has around the same horizontal range has jump B

Blowback Attack

• Stand CD is whiff cancel-able
• Jump CD is a short ranged kick that can be used from ground to air. Is also a cross-up.

Special Moves

Gourd Attack - (qcb + A/C)

• Chin flings his gourd towards the opponent.

• The light punch version (A) hits mid and doesn't knock down. The heavy punch version (C) has less horizontal distance than the light punch version but hits low and is a tech-able knockdown

• Both versions can be easily combo Chin's standing and crouching heavy normals, except crouching heavy kick (D), and combo from his F+A command normal.

• Both version inflict the same damage

• Cannot be countered nor reflected.

• Hits mid, not an overhead

• Soft knockdown

Carp Can Can - (up + D)

• Chin wakes up performing a cartwheel traveling away from the opponent around 1/2 screen distance

• Can be used as an anticipatory anti-air

• Shouldn't be used while Chin is in the corner, if blocked, he can be attacked while rolling away

Rolling Punch 1 - (f + B/D) requires 1 stock Gulp Sake

• Chin rolls towards the opponent then punches them. The roll can evade mid-screen projectiles and some standing attacks

• The light kick version travels half-screen distance towards the opponent, while the heavy kick version travels 3/4th screen distance

• Super cancel-able on the 4th hit of the heavy punch version

• Soft knockdown

Combo Advice:The light and heavy punch version can easily combo from his standing heavy normals and his close light kick. If you place too many attacks before the heavy punch version, it will not combo, example: j.C(2), cl.C, f+A, dp+C
