The usual feats from games like Tekken 3 or 5 are things like tearing apart tanks with bare hands and throwing them.. So, maybe Spidey villain range, as Scorpian or Lizard could do similar.
If Jin could bust a forest, then yeah, Slades in trouble.
TPless Elektra for one. And I don't care how many heads she punched through and how many bullets deflected IMO she's not beating Slade in cqc. Not for majority that is. I guess the more proper term would've been "B list" instead of "second rate".
Not on the level of island sinking Akuma, that's true. But with the exception of projectiles Tekken top tiers can match most of SF characters power wise. I'd even say that few of Tekken 2nd tiers surpass some of SF's 2nd tiers when it comes to physical stats.
He did that in between Tekken 4 and 5 after Jin refused to murder Heihachi, that was Devil's way of blowing off some steam. We see a sample of DJ going ballistic in Tekken 5 intro iirc but it's his story mode bio that says he wiped out the entire forest.

Lol idk what obscure source material you are using but there is no way he would beat more than five Slades at most and that is being generous. Jin, Heihachi and Kazuya are all monsters but within the confines of their respective universe when compared to marvel or dc one comes to realize that it's like comparing Doctor Manhattan to like Lucifer there is too much power and intelligence invested in the latter for it to be a fight. DJ is arguably more powerful than Slade but you would be hard pressed to prove he is faster. The character of Devil Jin is a tad too ambiguous for people to believe it would take more than a few Deathstrokes to put him down. I mean considering DJ lasers only take away a few fractions of a health bar so yeah I say years of feats have Deathstroke's back 🙂
I'm only using canon Tekken cut scenes/bios/movie. It's irrelevant how much health the laser takes away, gameplay doesnt matter here. We've seen that laser beam bring down entire buildings in seconds. When I compared Jin to Slade physically I was talking about regular Jin and I can safely say he's stronger. Speed is debatable but when it comes to D. Jin you can't really compare the two. DJ is vastly above Slade physically. Way faster, way stronger. Then there's the said laser beam that he can and has spammed in the past, the force field powerful enough for him to casually deflect the same kind of laser etc.
