"I'm coming!" Ein's general discussion thread
- Thread starter TRI Mike
- Start date
Ein excels in higher level play more than lower level simply because he's susceptible to counter spamming. More than most, for sure. I would have put him mid-high in every game he's been in including DoAD. He has some great string delay options and his whiff punishment is definitely better than a lot of the cast.

I'll try and remember what I can with Ein. I'll list his info
Safeness - Average
Speed - Average
Punishment - Average
Moves - Good
Whiff Punish - Great
Damage - Great
Spacing - Great
Keepout - Great
The guy was so solid he doesn't have a weak point.
Safeness - For this he was average. Frame wise he was generally like everyone else for negativity. What separated him from the rest is his unsafe moves pushed back.
Example 4K, 6P+K, 236P, 1KK, 46P
Those either pushed back to make them safe or safe at a distance. 3P completely safe 3K/KK unsafe but it had follow ups the 3rd K was semi-safe.
Speed - not much to say here not bad not good.
Punishment/Throws - His punish and throws were average. His 12i throw the best in the game. I'm not just factoring in just dmg either I'm also considering ease of use to.
Moves - Not gonna cover much but I will say this 3P was absolutely amazing. I wouldn't doubt it if it qualifies for top 3 pokes in the game probably top 5 if 3 is too much. A completely safe mid avg speed 13i puts opponent in deep stun on CH. Also a staple move to use in his combos.
Whiff Punishment - The guy could choose from so many moves he had 236P, 6P+K, 46P, even a 3KK for a launch into PP6PK
Damage - Its known he does a shit ton of damage off basic shit.
Spacing - If I remember right his movement was average but what made him shine in this was everything else. His tools, the keepout, the getting in with his long range moves. You could use his 1KP to close distance.
Keepout - That 4K all I really need to say about that with the occasional 1KK.
These things are just what I can remember from 4. I know there's more Ein is super solid.
Indeed not that many people in 4 could do that. I remember stunning with 3P launching with 3P and still getting his BnB

Those 3 hits did more than those 4 hits and that combo hit most. PP6PK was only when you just didnt have enough air. Most of the time you did with Ein.

I don´t understand why TN don´t bring back the bands he has in DOA2. He look much better with them.

Agreed, dangit I noticed that too. From the looks of it they brought back his shirtless red pants with chains too. Worst outfit he's ever had next to the disco getup. I actually liked and mained that outfit in DOA4 until everyone started making references to bondage. Now I can't unsee it.

Most likely a no-go. I saw in one of the E3 matches a guy was playing Ein wearing his C1 with shades, which is probably the only outfit that has it. Unless he has more than 3 costumes which I'm sort of doubting.
