Don't want to start an edit war by going "I don't think that happened, imma delete that", so instead, I want to discuss two of the feats being tossed around here:

'"Has finally controlled the Devil Gene"

I didn't see anything in the ending of Tekken 7 that showed anything close to this. The Devil Gene clearly still affects him, hence what went down in the helicopter bringing him in, and even when he wakes up and decides to work with Lars, Lee, etc, there's still nowhere near a guarantee there's any control to be had with the form. It seems more like after his plan to end the Devil Gene failed, now he's atoning for it and working to stop Kazuya. Character development down the road perhaps, but nothing concrete regarding the Devil Gene as of now.

"Fought evenly with Hwoarang as Devil Jin in their second encounter"

The Character Episodes is an especially tricky thing to try implementing into feats. For starters, most have to do with the 7th King of Iron Fist Tournament, which was cancelled in the Mishima Story. Along with that, a vast majority are the same characters facing each other and the winner depends on the player character (ex. Lili defeats Asuka if you're Lili, vise-versa if you're Asuka). Along with that are what happens to Jin upon arriving in the village in the Middle East. In Hwoarang and Devil Jin's episodes, Hwoarang runs into him first in his Devil Jin form, then, regardless of the outcome, Jin escapes with some aid of Hwoarang. In the Mishima Story, he is about to be apprehended when Lars arrives and helps him escape. Hwoarang simply never ran into him in the official story.

So before anyone does anything to Jin's feats, let's discuss this.
