Jin is has also gotten stronger in CS2, but it doesn't look like this match up has changed too much. Pumpkin, as always, is very nice.

Don't know why it has taken this long to talk about this match-up but Jin is always a threat for me.

Jin has many ways of punishing your summons:

• Common things people try to do as Jin vs. Rachel is to start a zoning war with ice swords (236A/B/C/D). Perhaps it's a way of discouraging summons but I usually use this time to wind myself in and catch him recovering from throwing the projectile.
  
• 
  
• His j.C can always catch you trying to do something in the air. Most of the time it'll be a pumpkin summon or a poorly spaced air Lobelia attempt.
  
• 
  
• Once Jin has meter he can punish any summon attempt from full screen with Touga Hyoujin (632146C).
  

To kill George, Jin can use 2D to kill him in one shot.

Fullscreen without meter he can't do much. If he throws an ice sword you can jump over and summon without risk, or do a winded airdash as you said. But yeah, try to get fullscreen when he has no meter.

6B can be catchaired on reaction easily.

If he ends a corner combo with B/C Icecar, you can do a winded emergency tech to escape the corner because of his low profile during the ice car recovery animation.

I think it's better to try and stay on the ground as much as possible since his air pokes are better than ours. His j.B is a great jumpin but our 6A tends to win I believe (last time I played Jin I AAed im plenty of times).

A very common note:

If you tech an air throw against Jin you can expect Jin to throw out j.C to keep you in block in the air. This also applies to people with similar ranged normals (Mu j.C, Hakumen j.C, Platinum j.C, etc.)
