Shadow Jin
Location
Behind a coin door in the top left of the Winter zone.
Abilities
Shadow Jin's attacks are derived from Jin's, unsurprisingly. He has three attacks, as well as a unique stun attack that he uses before getting up.
Overhead Slash: Shadow Jin raises his katana above his head, then swings it down. He does this twice in rapid succession, then once more. In his second phase, each slash releases a wind blade aimed at the player.
- The last slash can be countered.
- Shadow Jin can also jump around the arena three times before performing this attack.
Explosive Draw: Shadow Jin crouches, sheathing his sword, then dashes forward, unsheathing his blade with a long forward slash. He does this twice, and in his second phase, he does this five times.
- Each draw can be countered.
Upwards Slice: Shadow Jin slices above his head. He only does this attack if the player is above him, or if the player dodges through the first two blows of Overhead Slash. In his second phase, the slice releases four wind blades upwards
- This attack can be countered.
Get-Up Stab: At the end of a stun, Shadow Jin will grab his blade, then stab in front of himself. This version is much faster than Jin's version.
Strategy
There are many opportunities to stun Shadow Jin, which should be taken advantage of. You should be wary of his Get-Up Stab, however.
In his second phase, Shadow Jin will perform Explosive Dash five times. You can prepare for a later dash and be waiting to stun him.
