Run away DJ is fun. Especially against Akuma, Vega and Guile. Give them a taste of their own medicine
But Vega is so fun to bully!
I started with DJ as a second, my main is Blanka.
Damn, i loose so much with him, what are his good pokes ? I use cr.mk, stand far/close mk and after these ? Oh, and he’s free on wake up ? Jackniff even EX seems bad, it whiff so much.
Far standing mk is great. I’m not sure if you really want to be poking with DeeJay, you can get outpoked pretty easily.
Jackknife whiffs on crouching opponents, which is why it’s a limited wakeup option.
Well spaced slides and LK Sobats fill most of the rest of Dee Jay’s pokes. cr.hp is a situational poke that you would sometimes throw out to stuff opposing pokes. cr.lk is a bit safer than cr.mk but less rewarding, and st.lk is surprisingly OK. The range is lackluster, but it’s fast and the hitbox seems decent.
Wouldn’t st.mp count as a decent poke too now that it can be special cancelled.
It doesn’t hit crouching, so not really. It’s an AA to me not a poke.
Same here, I finally started getting better with Dee Jay again.
Makes a good counterhit poke with the fact you can os into sobat. Just have to use on certain characters in certain situations.
Maybe, but I’d personally take the faster startup and longer range of st.mk (also special cancellable) over the faster recovery and slightly better frame advantage of st.mp in most circumstances.
Like Jcool, I see it more as an anti-air.
It also might have some frame-trap potential off of certain normals on hit that might be worth looking into. (cl.lp,lk,mk st.lk,mk, cr.lp) It’s not as high damage as st.hp traps, but it is only -2 on block so it’s much safer than the -9 you’d be at if your opponent just blocks. It’s something else I’ll have to test at some point, though truth be told, I’m fried from Shadowloo Showdown and not really motivated to play lately.
Far st.mp only hits large crouching characters. The smallest crouching characters it hit is Balrog and Abel. It barely misses Vega and Gouken.It’s a great frame trap against Rog because it destroys his cr.lp, and yall know how Rogs like to mash that button.
Another bad thing about far st.mp is that sweeps own it. St.mk stuffs most sweeps, even Akuma’s and Chun’s bullshit
If you miss with far st.mp you leave yourself open for whiff punish. Especially against people like Fei Long and Rog; or like Da Knut said, those sweeps. Stick to using it as an anti air.
Ok so st.mp is that ideal anti air but when it comes to poking it only good on certain match ups.
won a small 5 man round robin today.
had to do a tie breaker for first from loser’s side since i lost earlier in the round robin
came back 6 straight from a 2 game deficit.
attempted to use far mp in footsies in tournament LOL
get cr. tech’d and swept free all day. never pressing that button unless its a combo or AA
Lol I feel slightly guilty for asking if far st.mp could be used as a poke.
Might have cost me some rounds but I tried it 3 games against 2 different players. Cr tech completely destroys it. If Ryu far mp hit cr. then I want it too lol j.p. not really.
Well it was greatly appreciated what you did for deejay science. It is kinda funny that Ryu mp hits but DeeJay improved hitbox mp don’t.
^ don’t get me started about what others get, but he doesn’t and what he had in previous titles, but doesn’t now.
So the other day I was playing some matches against my friend a juri main. I never notice his hatred toward deejay kneeshot saying that it is over powered. Is it safe to say that to a extent its like the godfist jumping jab in ST.
no. the hitbox on kneeshot is very beatable.
