==Special Moves==
'''Hiten Kyaku''' - (hcb + B/D)
*Lin jimps horizontally while kicking multiple time in mid air.
*hits mid
*Hiten Kyaku versions B/D are very different despite the similar move animation.

*B version causes hard knockdown
*B version is negative on block, but it pushes Lin back 3/4 of the screen
*D version starts slower, safe on block, and its final hit(4 Hits) is a launcher which allows him to perform resets or free extra damage by linking his dp.A/C.

*both versions are decent zoning tools and A version is a good pressure tool
 
'''Himou Kyaku''' - (hcf + B/D)
*Lin phases out of reality and teleports through the stage.
*a very useful tool because it allows Lin to swiftly and relatively safely attack the opponent and escapes from corner pressure/rushdown.
*B version allows Lin to only go through half of the screen
*B version is faster, but has no upper body invulnerability. Can't go through projectiles and can be stopped by any mid attack
*B version has some lower body invulnerability so makes it a great pressure or safety tool
*D version allows him to go full screen.
*D version has no lower body invulnerability, it can pass through projectiles, but it can be stop by any low attack
*D version has a lot of upper body invulnerability
 
'''Tetsuzan-bu Rasatsu''' -(qcf + A/C)
*Lin thrusts his hand toward the opponent covered in poison.
*rekka starter
*hits mid
*safe on block
*Lin's primary BnB tool and combo starter
*fast enough poke to be useful as a spacing and punishing tool

┗'''Tetsuzan-bu Nagi''' - (hcb + A/C)
*Lin alters the poison release in his hand and thrusts it upwards toward the opponent.
*rekka follow up

'''Jyatotsuga''' - (rdp + A/B/C/D)
*Lin kneels and extends his arm into the ground reappearing in a location dictated by A/B/C.
*it is a great zoning and mixup tool because Lin can launch the opponent towards or away from him anywhere on the screen.
*all versions hit mid
*all versions are safe on block
*A version comes out as a V shape or if point blank as a rectangle behind the opponent that launches them over Lin
*A version is a fast spacing tool to stymie opponent progress or occasionally as an anti-air
*B version functions the same as A, but with a longer range 
*B version whiffs at point blank range
*C version has the longest range
*C version hits the opponent into the air higher than the others and allows time for a jumping or ground followup including his dp+p
*D version is a faint to bait a jump-in and anti-air or zone to build meter.
 
==Desperation Moves==
'''Yougou''' - (hcf x 2 + B/D)

*both versions phase turn projectiles


Joudan Hakkyoku Ken Dakai - df + C
'''Ranbu Dokuga''' - (qcb hcf + A/C)
*Lin spreads his arms and smashes the ground. Joudan Hakkyoku Ken Dakai is Lins primary overhead. JHKD has a small hitbox, hard knockdown, and comes out slowly. Although this is Lins only direct overhead it should only be used rarely and in mix-ups.
*Lin slides toward the opponent and then performs a chain of combos upon contact.  
*has many options and a large variety of set-ups that allows it to be canceled into making it a great combo ender and punisher
*both versions have partial upper/lower invulnerability during the phase walk


==Special Attacks==
==Super Desperation Moves==
Hiten Kyaku - hcb + B/D
'''Ranbu Dokuga''' - (qcb hcf + AC)
*Lin slides towards the opponent, performs various chains of attacks and finishes by watching the poison aftershock take effect.
*EX version of Lin's ranbu super causes more damage
*can combo into it
*hits mid
*causes hard knockdown


'''Senju Rakan Satsu''' - (d, d, d + AC)
*Lin unleashes a onslaught of attacks ripping through the opponent with his sorcerously stretched limbs 
*can combo off of any attack Lin manages to connect.
*It has very fast start up and very long range
*It is also useful to use when the opponent has 15% health or lower to chip them to death.
*unlike Lin's dp it does not vacuum aerial opponents and will hit them once and knock them out of the super, thus not useful as anti-air


Muei Kusashu - dp + A/C
==Hidden Super Desperation Move==
'''Hiada Ougi Dokushu Kou''' - (hcb x 2 + AC)
*Lin picks up the opponent then slowly moves his hand as it changes color then swiftly pierces them and throws them down.
*it is a command grab and the only move in 2k2UM that poisons the opponent.
*poison stays active until the opponent health reach 10%,
*has poor damage for an HSDM (poison makes up some for that), and can combo into.
*the range you have to be in to grab the opponent is bigger than most command throws (about 1/2 character distance)


== Combos ==
Every '''(cr.B,)''' is an optional 4f link into cr.C to make the combo into a low but requires to be almost point-blank. If you don't use it, you can add a jump-in instead.
: cr.B, cr.C goes from 4f to 1f link on crouching (Bao, Robert) and 3f link on the rest of these [[The_King_of_Fighters_2002_UM/Miscellaneous#Inconsistent_Characters|inconsistent characters]] except the st.Kyo_Jhun-tier.
If you input hcb+P at any point in a round, for the rest of the round you can input the follow-up of his P rekka as hcf+A/B/C/D(instead of hcb+P) and it will execute the rekka.
: If you then do hcb+P', P' being the other punch button, the effect will transfer to the P' rekka.
: This makes it significantly easier to execute a super cancel into his hcfx2+K super as you can just do qcf+A > hcf+X, (SC) hcf+K.

Combos

Every (cr.B,) is an optional 4f link into cr.C to make the combo into a low but requires to be almost point-blank. If you don't use it, you can add a jump-in instead.

cr.B, cr.C goes from 4f to 1f link on crouching (Bao, Robert) and 3f link on the rest of these inconsistent characters except the st.Kyo_Jhun-tier.

If you input hcb+P at any point in a round, for the rest of the round you can input the follow-up of his P rekka as hcf+A/B/C/D(instead of hcb+P) and it will execute the rekka.

If you then do hcb+P', P' being the other punch button, the effect will transfer to the P' rekka.
This makes it significantly easier to execute a super cancel into his hcfx2+K super as you can just do qcf+A > hcf+X, (SC) hcf+K.

Anywhere

 ★ cr.Bx1~2, cr/st.A, qcf+A > hcb+A > f+A

Longest and most reliable low conversion. You can use cr.A instead of cr.B but you lose the low, keep cr.B. 14%

 ★ (cr.B,) cr.C(1), f+A, qcf+C > hcb+C > f+C

Decent damage and carry, good one to default to. If you don't use cr.B, you can do cr.C(2) against everyone but crouching Bao. 23%.
  • (cr.B,) cr.C(1), f+A, hcb+B
Less damage and carry than the last but hard knockdown so a bit better oki. 17%.
  • cr.B, cr.C(2), f+A, rdp+C, dp+P/j.CD
Max damage and normally a 4f link, so fairly easy. However, it doesn't work on Shermie and crouching Bao, is a 1f link on crouching Robert, a 2f link on the rest of these inconsistent characters except standing Jhun and a 3f link on Kasumi, crouching(Billy, Kensou) and standing Xiangfei. Use dp+P for more damage, 32% and j.CD for better oki, 29%.

Corner

 ★ (cr.B,) cr.C(1), f+A, qcf+C > hcb+C, cr.C, rdp+D

Good reset to then meaty or rehop. If you don't use cr.B, you can do cr.C(2) against everyone but crouching Bao.
  • cr.C(2), f+A, hcb+B
Not much damage but okay confirm and hard knockdown if you need the extra oki. 20%


1 Stock

Anywhere

 ★ cr.C(2), f+A, qcb,hcf+P

Good damage and comfy confirm for 1 bar, works on everyone. Adding cr.B before cr.C(2) will be a 4f link on most characters but the combo won't work anymore on crouching Bao, will be a 1f link on crouching Robert and a 2f link on Shermie and the rest of these inconsistent characters except standing Jhun. If unsure, stick to cr.B, cr.C(1).

Corner

  • (cr.B,) cr.C(1), BC run, cr.C, f+A, qcf+A > hcb+A, (C) hcb+D, dp+P(13), (SC) qcb,hcf+P
Only works on Kasumi and May Lee. The super will whiff on everyone else. You can end with qcf+A instead but the damage is bad, avoid it.
  • (cr.B,) cr.C(1), f+A, BC run, (cr.B,) cr.C(1), f+A, qcf+A > hcb+A, (C) hcb+D, df+C, hcb+B, slight delay qcb,hcf+P

Anywhere

 ★ cr.C(2), f+A, qcb,hcf+AC
