Dee Jay

Thought that was range-specific.

^ in ST it is.

There would be no reason to assume he’s getting nerfed if you didn’t think he looked broken in his current state - and why on Earth would you want him to be broken?

Does anyone know if the ex dread kicks was unsafe on block. I’m asking because I thought they might make it this way just to prevent people from repeatedly spamming the move in hopes of getting the ultra afterwards. If it’s safe on block, then I worry that it might be too simple and safe of a way to land a powerfull ultra.

You can’t repeatedly spam it, because it costs meter…

Well ya, but for only one meter and no punishability on block it’s still a pretty cheap move that people could start throwing out randomly. But I guess it also depends on whether it has invincibility frames on startup. If it does, then it’s similar in power to Rufus’ ex messiah kick, except that DJ doesn’t event have to focus cancel to connect an ultra to it.

It costs meter and is a charge move. If you see em walking forward or doing anything besides holding b or db, then they can’t throw it out.

I don’t think it can be spammable.

But to answer your question, it does look safe on block. But that’s pretty impossible to tell with just the vid. If it’s -2 or -1 on block, then Gief and Chun can punish it with supers.

Well, in all honesty I think it’s a good idea, but I could still see DJ possibly abusing it on someone who’s doing a block string on him. he could be mashing for his ex dread kicks the whole time, not much skill necessary and he gets a very high payoff if someone decides to go for a tick throw. But in all honesty boxer can do the same thing with his ex buffallo headbutt, except his is unsafe on block :P. My hope is that they do keep his ex dread kicks as a crumple, but just don’t give it invincibility.

I like deejay so far, he’s dash ispretty fast and looks funny lol.
He’s special moves look cool, i expected more from his ultra but oh well.

Yeah? I thought the ultra looked great. I personally prefer the ultras that look like this instead of the ones that have all the bullshit exaggerated camera angles (read: Juri)

you cant mash charge moves.

How the hell do you mash charge moves?!

Don’t forget, he’ll have a second one that may fit the bill. :wink:

It appears that most (if not all) of his normals are either the same or the look the same as his super turbo normals. good stuff.

Lol… but… but… i love those <3 T_T

Well, I think there are a few frames of time between the last direction of your charge move that you push and the button you push to execute it that allows you to repeatedly spam the button in hopes that you go out of block stun and your move suddenly comes out. This is only for a short amount of time and obviously is not quite as effective as spamming a dp motion over and over. I guess I’ll just retract that part of my statement :frowning:

Edit…
nevermind,

The only thing im worried about is, if you do a simple combo with ex dread kicks, like i dunno, jab, jab, medium, ex dread, whatever, then dash forward during crumple, repeat, 4 bars of that? can do alot of pissy damage, and the other player wouldnt be able to do a thing? I suppose it depends on how much time you have between the crumple and the floor?

If that is able to happen, the opponent will end dizzy after the whole combo probably lol
That would be too beast!
Balrog can also do it anyway.

I’m very excited about Deejay. He’ll definitely be my main, even if he sucks.
