How to Beat Jinpachi

Jinpachi Mishima is the "boss" character of Tekken 5 and Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. The Tekken series has a reputation for having difficult boss characters. Jinpachi has the ability to take more than half of your life bar with a single unblock-able move and has many moves that will leave your characters vulnerable and/or locked up in a block stun. You can defeat Jinpachi by using strategy as well as repeated patterns, even though Jinpachi is notoriously difficult.

Instructions

- 1
  Open the match by moving close to Jinpachi and going on the offensive. Keep Jinpachi busy blocking. This will decrease the chances of an attack.
- 2
  Strike him with quick, mid-hitting moves. Avoid using actions that have too much recovery time, as they can leave you open for an attack.
- 3
  Watch Jinpachi closely. He will raise his arms and his body will flash and fly backwards when preparing for the unblock-able attack. When this happens, tap up on the D-pad to sidestep his fireball.
- 4
  Press "Start" on the controller to check your difficulty. Tekken 5 allows you to change the complexity of the game in mid-match. This is useful when struggling with Jinpachi. He is simpler to deal with on the "Easy" setting.
