- overhead

Special Moves:

- the first flame of qcf+C does less damage than qcf+A. If the first flame of of qcf+C hits the opponent, the next flame whiffs
- it's easy to punish Chin's qcf+C by rolling behind him after the first flame. qcf+C takes longer for the first flame to come out, than qcf+A. There is little reason to use qcf+C over qcf+A

- Chin lies down and takes a nap. He can move left and right while in this stance

SDMs: 1. Gouran Enpou - qcfx2+AC

HSDM:
Suisou Enbu - qcfx2+BD
- Chin spits out a small ball of flame. This flame can be controlled using the directional pad/joystick. There is no way to control Chin while the flame is on screen
- it is possible to make this move hit low, if you move the flame towards the opponent such that it hits the bottom of their legs. It is not possible to make this move an overhead
