[@Brink] I've been told to watch that show so many times I need to get to it.

What I especially like about them as a combo is their personalities are similar but their abilities are polar opposites. Jin is evenly spread in stats and abilities, and Kobe is focused almost entirely on swordsmanship. Even his hoho is just there to make his main attacks more effective against a faster/more skilled opponent. They have opposite strategies of balance your options, or go all in on plan A
