Dee Jay

Chains into 5LP/2LP/2LK; very low recovery makes it safer than most lights when Perfect Parried; [4]6LP cancel: -9/-14; 236LK cancel: -14/-19

2-3f blockstring gap between hits; () refers to scaled damage after 5LP combo starter; can whiff on crouching opponents at max range (will not whiff if 5LP hits as a Punish Counter)

Leaves opponent in range for a strike/throw mixup on hit; always a true blockstring after 5LP~MK; () refers to scaled damage from 5LP combo starter, but also is scaled to 500 damage if the first MK begins the combo

Good combo/frame trap starter with 2 different Target Combo follow-ups

At max 5MP range, HP hits late for improved frame advantage (but active frames 5-7 whiff on crouching opponents); always a true blockstring from 5MP; continues limited juggle state if juggled into (after Drive Rush, airborne crumple, or wall splat)

() refers to scaled damage after 5MP combo starter; puts opponent into spinning limited juggle state; Super cancel is delayed until after 1st recovery frame

True blockstring from 5MP, but can be delayed significantly (up to 4f blockstring gap); landing a counter-hit allows 5MP~MP~HP to fully combo; continues limited juggle state if juggled into (after Drive Rush, airborne crumple, or wall splat); great in Drive Rush juggles that can get fullscreen corner carry; 2f extra recovery on block

Similar animation to 5MP~MP~HP; used to bait opponents that expect Dee Jay to stop at 5MP~MP or frame trap with the HP ender; Dee Jay is in a counter-hit state for entire feint duration

Doesn't combo on grounded hit unless 5MP~MP lands as a counter-hit; unsafe ender on block with a 3f blockstring gap (can frame trap opponent's button if they try to challenge); works will in Drive Rush juggles; puts opponent into limited juggle state

The first 2 active frames are cancelable, can hit crouching, and force stand (important for [2]8HK combo routes); active frames 3-6 deal 100 less damage and have much longer range, but are not cancelable and whiff on crouching opponents (unless they extend a vertical hurtbox); much better frame advantage on a long-range connect (useful as a shimmy tool and punish starter); [4]6LP cancel: +5/-2; 236LK cancel: 0/-7

Good buffer tool; combos into 236HK on hit, or 236KK on Punish Counter making it a useful 5f punish tool; [4]6LP cancel: -6/-10; 236LK cancel: -11/-15; DR cancel is delayed until after 2nd active frame

Decent neutral poke that can lead to combos at close range

Great poke that leads to full Drive Rush conversions on Punish Counter (or a spinning limited juggle state on airborne Punish Counter); 4f extra recovery on whiff; extends a hurtbox 1f before active that is vulnerable to projectiles

Chains into 5LP/2LP/2LK; [4]6LP cancel: -7/-12; 236LK cancel: -12/-17; topmost hurtbox on frames 1-7 is vulnerable only to aerial strikes (preventing its use as an anti-air)

1f extra recovery on whiff; good combo/buffer tool and meaty normal; good hitbox priority against low pokes; very long special hitconfirm window (but only 13f when canceling to 214MP or 18f into 236KK); when used out of Drive Rush, can link to 5HP on crouching opponents; [4]6LP cancel: +1/-5; 236LK cancel: -4/-10

Forces Stand on hit (important combo starter for [2]8K routes); good combo/punish starter; Punish Counter vs. airborne causes limited juggle state and Hard Knockdown (but generally no juggle follow-up)

Chains into 5LP/2LP/2LK

Acts like a sweep, but safer (difficult for many characters to punish); HKD on Punish Counter only; good hitbox priority; has an extended hurtbox on whiff until the end of recovery

Can anti-air (solid hitbox, but slow startup); puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state (better juggle adv. on CH/PC)

The first 2 active frames only hit airborne opponents; great vertical hitbox that puts airborne opponents into a limited juggle OTG bounce state (combos into any Super when canceled on airborne hit); () refers to startup vs. grounded opponents and 1f better advantage vs. crouching opponents; not an overhead despite the animation; good tool for oki or approaching in neutral with long range and forward movement

Forces Stand on hit; good anti-air but cannot hit cross-up; 1st hit puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; 2nd hit causes air reset (Punish Counter causes both hits to juggle); if only 2nd hit connects, it deals the full 800 damage and Drive/Super meter gain; CH/PC advantage carries through both hits; [4]6LP cancel: +5/-5 1st hit, 0/-6 2nd hit; 236LK cancel: 0/-10 1st hit, -5/-11 2nd hit; 2nd hit special/DR cancel is delayed until after active frames; juggle limit of the 2nd hit is increased by 1 only when the first hit connects

Can be used as a fuzzy instant overhead

Puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; can chain to j.HP for a spike knockdown (very lenient 25f cancel window); lower body projectile invuln 6-22f (if used immediately on the way up, can avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Causes spike knockdown vs. airborne opponents

Causes spike knockdown vs. airborne opponents; lower body projectile invuln 9-23f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Decent air-to-air normal

Cross-up; lower body projectile invuln 8-21f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Decent jump-in that hits in front of Dee Jay before swinging his leg downward; lower body projectile invuln 10-19f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Forward Jump only; alters jump trajectory (up to 5f faster than normal jump depending on timing); can get better advantage when spaced out or vs. crouching opponents (non-meaty Knee Shot vs. crouching is usually around +9 oH / +6 oB); Punish Counter state from 2nd active frame until end of landing recovery; lower body projectile invuln 6f~land around back leg only (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

After back throw into corner, Dee Jay is +3 after dash (out of throw range but can beat wakeup buttons with 2MP); must Drive Rush for true strike/throw oki; a successful Throw Escape builds 0.5 Drive bars for the defender; Throw Escape is awarded to a random player if input simultaneously

Allows corner throw loop by walking or dashing; dash + whiff 5LP sets up +3 situation; a successful Throw Escape builds 0.5 Drive bars for the defender; Throw Escape is awarded to a random player if input simultaneously

Damage Distribution: 100x4,150x4,100x4,180x3,260; () refers to damage on high juggle (puts opponent into limited juggle state, and can potentially link SA3 for huge damage); combo/juggle tool; requires CH/PC/DR 5HP or 4HK(1st) to combo on the ground; doesn't play out full animation on block or on high juggle connect; cancels on 1st or 13th hit; Punish Counter Drive dmg refers to before and after Super cancelable hit; good anti-air hitbox but cannot hit cross-up and is too slow for practical AA purposes

Can input follow-ups on frames 13-25 (variable timing allows stronger mixups and reaction to opponent's response); useful shimmy tool that can be canceled into to bait the opponent's defensive button press; Distance: 0.602 back

1f extra recovery on block; can input attack follow-ups on frames 25-37 (frames 13-25 of the sway itself), and can input 6P dash follow-up after frame 19; puts opponent into limited juggle state; attack follow-ups can be input 3f earlier on block, allowing for 4f frame trap with LK follow-up; Distance: 0.74 back

Can be input after 19f of 214KK (startup refers to this pre-dash period); hit/block adv. refers to data after 214KK attack connects (fastest timing); can cancel into 4P backdash on frames 18-23 of dash; can low profile under many high attacks while dashing; after 214KK launch, can dash to switch sides and follow up with a juggled [2]8K or SA1; Distance: 2.0 forward

Hit/block advantage refers to data after 214KK attack connects (fastest timing); only 1f faster than letting 6P dash finish and ending with regular backdash; Distance: 1.0 back; can follow up with OD Jus Cool LK / MK / HK follow-ups (but not another Juggling Dash)

Puts the opponent into limited juggle state (free juggle state on grounded Punish Counter; requires initial 214KK to whiff); the upper hitbox whiffs on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox (can only hit crouchers at very close range); can work as an anti-air if opponent jumps during Sway startup, and can hit cross-up

Safe low ender; 5f extra recovery on whiff or vs. armor; good for whiff punishing after baiting opponent with 214KK; earliest timing on block gives 4f gap that can set up trade combos into 5HP

Safe overhead ender that can lead to follow-up combos on hit; 12-22f low crush (not airborne); first 2 active frames can only hit airborne; +7 on hit vs. standing; +6 on hit vs. all crouching characters (most likely scenario due to being an overhead); causes OTG bounce vs. airborne opponents (can juggle into any Super, OD Jackknife, or MK/HK Sobat); Punish Counter vs. airborne gives a more lenient juggle state on ground bounce

Startup refers to fastest 214K animation before 6P can be input, recovery refers to 6P dash animation; cancelable into 4P backdash on frames 18-23 of dash; can low profile under many high attacks while dashing; Distance: 2.36 forward

Startup refers to fastest 214K + 6P animation before 4P can be input, recovery refers to the 4P dash animation; only 1f faster than letting 6P dash finish and ending with regular backdash; Distance: 1.0 back; can follow up with Jus Cool LK / MK / HK follow-ups (but not another Juggling Dash)

Upper body hurtbox shrinks down on frames 6-14 and 20-44; puts the opponent into limited juggle state; can work as an anti-air if opponent jumps during Sway startup and can hit cross-up; the upper hitbox whiffs on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox (can only hit crouchers at very close range)

Safe low ender; 2f extra recovery on hit, 5f extra recovery on whiff or vs. armor; good for whiff punishing after baiting opponent with 214K; against opponents in Burnout, canceling from 5HP into 214K~LK allows for a frame trap that leads to counter-hit combos

12-22f low crush (not airborne); gives great oki on hit or additional pressure on block; causes spike knockdown vs. airborne opponents; causes limited juggle OTG bounce on Punish Counter

Damage Distribution: 150x5,200x3,300; () refers to damage on high juggle (puts opponent into limited juggle state); combo/juggle tool; combos naturally from 2MP; doesn't play out full animation on block or on high juggle connect; cancels on 1st or 8th hit; Punish Counter Drive Dmg refers to before and after Super cancelable hit; good anti-air hitbox but cannot hit cross-up and is too slow for practical AA purposes

Damage Distribution: 100x5,150x3,200x3,350; () refers to damage on high juggle (puts opponent into limited juggle state); combo/juggle tool; combos naturally from 5HP; doesn't play out full animation on block or on high juggle connect; cancels on 1st or 11th hit; Punish Counter Drive dmg refers to before and after Super cancelable hit; good anti-air hitbox but cannot hit cross-up and is too slow for practical AA purposes

Damage Distribution: 100x12,150x3,200,650; () refers to damage on high juggle; combo/juggle tool; only combos naturally from 5HP or 4HK (1st hit), or from 2MP after Punish Counter or Drive Rush; doesn't play out full animation on block or on high juggle connect; cancel occurs on 1st or 2nd to last hit; Punish Counter Drive dmg refers to before and after Super cancelable hit; good anti-air hitbox but cannot hit cross-up and is too slow for practical AA purposes; gives incredible oki anywhere on the screen (2 dashes leaves Dee Jay at HKD +14, and can use DR~6MK to become +11/+7 and safe to Drive Reversal)

Can hold buttons to extend dance; counter-hit state for entire duration; can be canceled into from any version of [4]6P (remains in a Punish Counter state afterwards); builds Super Art gauge (2000 after 88f, then 49 per frame beginning on frame 109 when held); recovery starts after 88f when tapped or when buttons are released; takes 272f to build 1 bar; if Dee Jay reaches 2 bars of Super Gauge, transitions to a new dance animation with more recovery

If Dee Jay reaches 2 bars of meter, he enters a second dance animation that lasts an extra 73f; can hold buttons to extend dance; counter-hit state for entire duration; can be canceled into from any version of [4]6P (remains in a Punish Counter state afterwards); builds Super Art gauge (2000 after 68f, then 49 per frame beginning on frame 96 when held); recovery starts after 95f when tapped (168f if tapping puts Dee Jay at 2 bars), or when buttons are released; takes 259f to go from 2 to 3 bars

Stays close to opponent for +2 strike/throw mixup on hit; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus frame advantage carries through both hits; when canceled to SA3, weaker than MK version due to missing the 2nd hit

Low crush 12-26f (not airborne); puts opponent into limited juggle state (can only combo into SA2/SA3 vs. grounded, but much more lenient juggle state vs. airborne opponents); somewhat weak to Drive Impact because only 2nd hit is Super cancelable

Useful feint for mixups and for frame-kill setups; Distance: 0.945

Good neutral and whiff punish tool, especially against low pokes; can be spaced to be safe on block

40f charge time (holds charge for 12f after release); whiffs on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical attack hurtbox; gives a perfect safe jump setup when connecting vs. grounded opponents; when juggled after [2]8MK, the +37 KD Adv. sets up a safe jump with j.2LK; last hit ends juggle state due to +100 juggle count increase; cannot hit cross-up

40f charge time (holds charge for 12f after release); 2nd/3rd hits whiff on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox; puts opponent into limited juggle state; cannot hit cross-up; at close range, may cross over opponents on whiff/block; on hit only, Dee Jay performs 2 extra hits that spike the opponent to the ground

40f charge time (holds charge for 12f after release); startup refers to earliest air normal timing; 6f landing recovery only applies to empty jump version (air normals have the usual 3f landing recovery); can hold back mid-air to shorten jump trajectory; Distance: 1.51~1.63

40f charge time (holds charge for 12f after release); whiffs on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical attack hurtbox; puts opponent into limited juggle state (can follow up with [2]8HK/KK or SA1 depending on distance from opponent); can trade with jump-ins due to short invincibility window; cannot hit cross-up

45 charge time (holds charge for 10f after release); throws two 1-hit projectiles; useful option in fireball wars but very vulnerable to jumps and anti-projectile moves; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage applies to both hits; () refers to startup of 2nd fireball; recovery is counted after first projectile startup; 2nd projectile moves faster than the 1st; can be canceled into Speedy Maracas after 35f even on whiff

45 charge time (holds charge for 10f after release); feint that can be used to bait opponent's reaction or extend close range combos/blockstrings

45 charge time (holds charge for 10f after release); 1-hit projectile; safest zoning option against jumps and anti-projectile moves; can be canceled into Speedy Maracas after 23f even on whiff

45 charge time (holds charge for 10f after release); throws two 1-hit projectiles at close range; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage carries through both hits; from farther ranges, they merge into a single 2-hit projectile that knocks down on hit (puts opponent into limited juggle state); powerful option for zoning, pressure, Burnout chip sequences, and fireball wars; very low pushback on block, allowing for corner loops and pressure; puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; projectile starts moving forward on frame 22; can be canceled into Speedy Maracas after 31f even on whiff

Cannot hit cross-up; cinematic time regenerates ~2 Drive bars for Dee Jay

Cannot hit cross-up; available at 25% HP or below; cinematic time regenerates ~2.3 Drive bars for Dee Jay

LP~MP~HP~LK~MK~HK follow-ups (on hit only) must be manually timed (HP sequence gives highest damage with hardest difficulty); perfect rhythm gives more damage; non-perfect rhythm ender cannot follow up after the crumple knockdown; all follow-ups up to MK are +6 on hit with no additional damage scaling; full invincibility extended 1-29f on hit; KD +27 when juggled into; forces stand; cannot hit cross-up; applies 30% scaling to Super Art gain until end of combo

Comes out on hit only; 9f timing window after 236236HP; KD +41~42 when juggled into (can juggle afterward)

Performed by inputting 6HPHK during blockstun; 5f extra recovery on hit; freezes the screen for 4f during startup; see Drive Reversal.

Performed by holding 6HPHK on wakeup; 5f extra recovery on hit; does not have any screen freeze except for a 12f freeze when interacting with the opponent's throw hitbox (this also refunds 1 Drive bar after punishing the throw); see Drive Reversal.

See Drive Impact. Airborne connect gives spinning juggle state on Punish Counter or corner Wall Splat with variable height.

See Drive Parry. Perfect Parrying has only 1F of recovery and disables the opponent from canceling their attack. Perfect Parrying projectiles puts you into fixed 11 frames of recovery. After a Perfect Parry, all Super Gauge gain is reduced by 20% and Drive Gauge gain/damage is reduced by 50% for the entire punish combo.

See Drive Rush; 3-bar version performed on hit/block from a cancelable normal; can also be performed on whiff from cancelable light normals; startup refers to minimum time before an attack can cancel the Drive Rush animation; the first 15 recovery frames are cancelable into any attack; the final 22 recovery frames are cancelable into any attack or movement option or blocking (except Parry); only Normal and Command Normal attacks are enhanced with +4 frame advantage and improved juggle properties

See Drive Rush; 1-bar version performed out of a Parry; startup refers to minimum time before an attack can cancel the Drive Rush animation (if performed immediately after a successful Parry, only 1+8 startup); the first 15 recovery frames are cancelable into any attack; the final 22 recovery frames are cancelable into any attack or movement option or blocking (except Parry); only Normal and Command Normal attacks are enhanced with +4 frame advantage and improved juggle properties; Distance: 0.763 (min/throw), 2.535 (min/block), 2.713 (max/final DR frame)
