DeeJay General Discussion

whoever eventhubs took their translation from didn’t tell us who was coming next week. i hope its deejay. The Arcadia changes are still being taken with a grain of salt til the blog confirms whether the changes are real or fake.

this weeks blog was like… dan, sagat, and 2 others.

so… its not deejay yet.

I understand that lol they usually announce who’s coming up next week. Nobody was announced for next week. I’m hoping for deejay’s changes next week.

its next week. its on front page nowl.

the anticipation begins lol

i feel like i can’t concentrate knowing that my character’s balance hangs in the air.

why did capcom release deejay so late anyway?

Cause Capcom loves to troll?

That’s Ono’s job.

Sometimes,

Rad Spencer in general, the African spear chucking RE 5 zombie in grass skirts, and the lack of Megaman in MVC3 makes it look like the whole company is getting in on that shit.

So after announced Blanka nerfs were announced I decided I’d probably play a new character when AE comes out.

I played Dee Jay a little when Super first dropped so he’s on my list of potential new characters.

From video watching the only thing I’m really seeing thats new is more use of kneeshot, and the occasional ex airslasher into ex sobat combos. Deejays complete lack of damage was part of the reason why I wasn’t super into playing him originally, but both j.hk, cl.mk, cr.lp, cr.mp xx ex slash, ex sobat and (deep)j.hk, cl.mk, cl.mk xx ex slash, ex sobat(character specific) do monstrous damage. Anyone using either combo or am I just wishing for big damage and seeing it in the unlikely event I get to punish a horrendous whiff?

Yeah, people are using those combos, including myself. People have found out a lot of good little combos with DJ these last couple months and they’re great fun to do. I usualy try and link that EX Sobat after an EX AS if I can. If if it gets blocked it’s usualy at a certain spacing to where it’s pretty safe except for against a few characters.

Also, I linked a HK Sobat off a counterhit EX AS the other day. I dunno if anyone knew that but it was cool when it happened.

I knew it would work because of frame data but couldn’t figure out the spacing.

Random announcement but i finally got a bluetooth for the playstation 3. So if anybody wants to play some casuals and talk about deejay strategies and critique each other let me know. I’m also joining the xbox community after my finals.

yea, i just got an xbox and SSF4 for it as well so if you want to do that, add me like a mother fucker. right now though i’m just trolling with random characters in ranked until i get myself to the same level to where my DJ is on PSN.

Off of forward throw immediately press mk then straight up jump lk (late as possible),cr.lk is a safe jump for akuma/ken dp, trades with ken’s hp dragon punch for similar damage. You can do it from (jump in) cr.lp cr.lp cr.mk by walking forward slightly ASAP then straight jump lk etc. Not hugely useful but fairly easy. Can anyone suggest some good set ups off his hard knock downs? Any good ways of lining up ambigous cross up safe jumps? Good timings for meaties with hp? Had a quick search but didnt see it discussed.

there’s no way to get it just right, but it’s really not hard to time. SOrry I don’t really feel like explaining with words but if you watch some vids you can see how to time your jump ins. Let me see if I can find a vid for you.

alright this one is pretty good [media=youtube]WFTaRZAJjxs&feature=related[/media]

Hatrify is one of the better DJs on this forum. As soon as the match starts you can see him get a knockdown off of cr. MK. He then takes a small step forward and a brief pause. This sets up a pretty ambiguous cross up. Against balrog you want to cross him up which beats wake up headbutts, then once they stop you can make it more ambiguous. You have to learn the timing for yourself, so idk just go in training mode and practice knocking down and trying to make your j. MK meaty. Hope I helped.

Anybody DeeJay’s going to NEC? i had no ride and have a project due tomorrow/today.

somebody told me there was a deejay on the NEC stream. he played against DMG Insayne and lost.

Afro Cole is using DeeJay in the team tournament right now

Afro Cole beating sanford’s sagat.

AfroCole just took out Sanford in a team match. He played a really good ground game and got some good sweeps in.

No cross ups and a lot of knee shot.

i saw it, i laughed.

surprised that sanford didn’t block cole’s dropped combo into ex mgu in the corner, gave him the free ultra.

anyways good to hear “someone check if deejay forums is blowing up” finally. it was long overdue :smiley:
