CBM’s Effective Jin Play
CBM showcases his mastery of Jin’s moveset, utilizing his hit boxes and strong mids to control the match. He effectively uses moves like forward forward two, down four, and 214 to pressure JY and create openings for his offense. CBM’s Jin also displays a fearless playstyle, not hesitating to use risky moves and low pokes to keep his opponent on their toes.
JY’s Defensive Play and Optimization of Nina
JY’s Nina demonstrates a strong defensive playstyle, relying on sidestepping and small pokes to control the pace of the match. He focuses on punishing CBM’s approach and capitalizing on counter hits. JY’s optimization of Nina’s strengths, such as her string extensions and powerful lows, allows him to create explosive punishes and deal significant damage.
The Importance of Movement and Sidestepping
Movement and sidestepping play a crucial role in this match, with both players utilizing these techniques to create openings and evade their opponent’s attacks. CBM’s well-timed half sidesteps and realignments effectively dodge JY’s sidestep punish attempts, while JY’s sidesteps help him dodge CBM’s advancing moves and set up punishing opportunities. The importance of movement and sidestepping cannot be understated in Tekken matches, and this match showcases their impact.
The Significance of Punishing and Adapting
Punishing and adapting to your opponent’s playstyle is crucial in high-level Tekken matches, and both CBM and JY demonstrate their ability to do so. CBM punishes JY’s defensive reads and creates opportunities for big damage with well-timed moves and punishing JY’s whiffs. On the other hand, JY adapts to CBM’s aggressive playstyle and punishes his risky moves, capitalizing on counter hits and creating explosive punishes.
