| description =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.}}
