== Strategies ==
== Strategy ==
 
=== Basics ===
 
*Stand c-wicked poke..it has loads of priority,moves him forward,has good recovery which can be abused eg. stand c->stand c->stand c then if they try to counter, you can go into his duck dive combo(low a->low bXXduck dive(more later)
 
*Stand a-the comboers weapon of choice. He can also do a rolento/gen style walking poking sequence. The close a hits ducking(ha!)opponents too.


*slide-anti fb. I bet you could also do stuff like max range slide into his super grab as a good baiting tactic.
=== The Basics ===


*anti-air comes in the form his b break storm(d works also but the startup time is bit too much for my liking), low d(spin kick) slide, or jump straight up d.
Key Moves include:
* '''c5A'''/'''2A''' are fast buttons with insane frame advantage which when combined with Duck's movespeed allow him to do microwalk touch-of-stun combos and lengthy blockstring pressure. When the opponent is backturned, it is easy to continue the combo till death. c5A is more advantageous while 2A hits crouching characters and isn't limited by proximity
* '''f5C''' moves forward and is advantageous on block, allowing Duck to pressure from farther away (even with repeated f5Cs)
* '''3D''' cleanly goes under any projectile that doesn't crawl along the ground (except Cheng's 236A) and can be spaced to be safe on block
* '''f5A''' and '''CD''' can be used as anti-airs, or walking underneath the opponent
* '''[4]6A/C''' can be used for chip damage or as a callout, though it's not very rewarding
* '''2369B/D''' is invincible but too small and unsafe to be used outside of specific situations
* '''4123693BC''' has an extremely difficult input but makes Duck a much more versatile character when mastered. Great to use from a backdash, as a tick throw, or to punish from far range. Performing the "Standing Break Spiral" can be assisted by kara cancelling from a normal


*His roll is safe, it's better to do it off a blocked normal(low c comes to mind), that way they cannot counter you. I always use the a version as it's a lot quicker and I don't think the c version combos from his weak attacks.
=== Advanced Strategy ===


*Duck can kill you with one combo. The infinite I posted earlier can be done anywhere! not just in corners...however it's very difficult to infinite them from the front..it's a lot easier it you have their back to you. If you do get an opening from the front, do this combo: stand a x 5~6(hold forward)stand bxxD duck dive. Not only does this combo do about 50%, it also dizzies! furthermore, when you finish the combo, they are right in the corner where you can kill 'em with the infinite. Another dizzy
==== Performing Break Spiral ====
combo is jump d->low c(2 hits)d duck dive.


*I still can't do his super yet, but I can imagine him doing stuff like from nearly full screen:whiff a roll into the grab super for a nice trick. Let's not forget about his kara cancels...  
Doing a raw standing Break Spiral requires inputting 3BC within 3 frames of inputting 9 which is extremely difficult and not recommended. Thankfully, there are a multitude of easier methods to execute the move.


''Credit to MiddleKick''
* The easiest and most obvious ways to buffer Break Spiral are when landing from a jump, waking up, or during a backdash, however these are very easy to opponents to see coming and none of them can be used as part of Duck's offense. Using Break Spiral to cancel a backdash's recovery is still a very strong defensive option.
* An easy way to incorporate Break Spiral offensively is to use 2B at a range where it just barely whiffs and kara cancelling it. Unlike the above methods this cannot be reacted to, and is not terribly risky if misspaced as 2B is a strong low-risk attack. Input as 412'''3B'''693BC.
* Tick throwing the opponent after a light normal is the most deadly application of Break Spiral, but is quite difficult. In order to execute it consistently, some explanation is needed.
** Break Spiral has a generous 13F acceptance period between individual inputs of the 4123693BC motion. This means that a slow input such as 4 (wait 12F) 1 (wait 12F) 2 (wait 12F) 3 (wait 12F) 6 (wait 12F) 9 (wait 12F) 3BC is a valid Break Spiral. 3 and BC are not counted as separate inputs and must both be input within 13F of the 9 input. Inputting a slow Break Spiral is useful for tick throwing after a blocked 2A for example. Normally the huge frame advantage (+8) would make this impossible without doing a raw standing Break Spiral, but if 9 is input right before Duck recovers then there can be up to a 4 frame window to input the delayed 3BC.
* Tick throws after a blocked Lane Blast are also possible and not too difficult
* Break Spiral's instant startup and long range enables many great punishes to the opponent's negative attacks.
* If 3D gets blocked there's no harm in buffering Break Spiral for a possible tick throw, but the opponent will often be out of range unless in the corner or if 3D was poorly spaced.
* Whiffing c5D over the opponent's head is an extremely easy way to buffer Break Spiral, but this is only useful for an easy kill on a dizzy opponent instead of risking a dropped combo.
* c5C, despite being quite a bad normal, can cancel into an unjumpable Break Spiral on block.


*They're are a number of way to get the opponent's back facing you: 1.get them dizzy then jump over them, voila! monster combo coming up! Sometimes you don't even need to jump over them. 2.They switch planes then come back to the original plane, sometimes they'll face the other way 3. The opposite of 2, you switch planes and come back, they can be doing a move, and when you hit them, you'll get their back facing you 4.Specials which cross under you..e.g I'm Terry in the corner, I jump straight up, Duck rolls into the corner, I land and have his back facing me. 5.Special which just leave them facing the other during their recovery. There is another way to get them facing the other direction(it's in the Max vids) I'm not sure about that one yet.

Duck unleashes a flurry of attacks... that don't combo into each other.

  • If used normally, the opponent will be pushed away and the later hits will whiff. If the final hit connects, it will either knock down on hit or do 2 hits of chip and leave Duck with frame advantage.
  • The throw invincibility makes the 5th hit a usable meaty if the opponent has no reversal.

  • A huge damage instant throw with fantastic range and no whiff animation.
  • The final 2 input can alternatively be a 1 or 3. Going from 9 to 3 is the easiest input method.

Combos

  • 2C (2 hits) > 214D
  • f5C > 214D
  • f5C x 2 > [4]6P

Strategy

The Basics

Key Moves include:

  • c5A/2A are fast buttons with insane frame advantage which when combined with Duck's movespeed allow him to do microwalk touch-of-stun combos and lengthy blockstring pressure. When the opponent is backturned, it is easy to continue the combo till death. c5A is more advantageous while 2A hits crouching characters and isn't limited by proximity
  • f5C moves forward and is advantageous on block, allowing Duck to pressure from farther away (even with repeated f5Cs)
  • 3D cleanly goes under any projectile that doesn't crawl along the ground (except Cheng's 236A) and can be spaced to be safe on block
  • f5A and CD can be used as anti-airs, or walking underneath the opponent
  • [4]6A/C can be used for chip damage or as a callout, though it's not very rewarding
  • 2369B/D is invincible but too small and unsafe to be used outside of specific situations
  • 4123693BC has an extremely difficult input but makes Duck a much more versatile character when mastered. Great to use from a backdash, as a tick throw, or to punish from far range. Performing the "Standing Break Spiral" can be assisted by kara cancelling from a normal

Advanced Strategy

Performing Break Spiral

Doing a raw standing Break Spiral requires inputting 3BC within 3 frames of inputting 9 which is extremely difficult and not recommended. Thankfully, there are a multitude of easier methods to execute the move.

  • The easiest and most obvious ways to buffer Break Spiral are when landing from a jump, waking up, or during a backdash, however these are very easy to opponents to see coming and none of them can be used as part of Duck's offense. Using Break Spiral to cancel a backdash's recovery is still a very strong defensive option.
  • An easy way to incorporate Break Spiral offensively is to use 2B at a range where it just barely whiffs and kara cancelling it. Unlike the above methods this cannot be reacted to, and is not terribly risky if misspaced as 2B is a strong low-risk attack. Input as 4123B693BC.
  • Tick throwing the opponent after a light normal is the most deadly application of Break Spiral, but is quite difficult. In order to execute it consistently, some explanation is needed.
    • Break Spiral has a generous 13F acceptance period between individual inputs of the 4123693BC motion. This means that a slow input such as 4 (wait 12F) 1 (wait 12F) 2 (wait 12F) 3 (wait 12F) 6 (wait 12F) 9 (wait 12F) 3BC is a valid Break Spiral. 3 and BC are not counted as separate inputs and must both be input within 13F of the 9 input. Inputting a slow Break Spiral is useful for tick throwing after a blocked 2A for example. Normally the huge frame advantage (+8) would make this impossible without doing a raw standing Break Spiral, but if 9 is input right before Duck recovers then there can be up to a 4 frame window to input the delayed 3BC.
  • Tick throws after a blocked Lane Blast are also possible and not too difficult
  • Break Spiral's instant startup and long range enables many great punishes to the opponent's negative attacks.
  • If 3D gets blocked there's no harm in buffering Break Spiral for a possible tick throw, but the opponent will often be out of range unless in the corner or if 3D was poorly spaced.
  • Whiffing c5D over the opponent's head is an extremely easy way to buffer Break Spiral, but this is only useful for an easy kill on a dizzy opponent instead of risking a dropped combo.
  • c5C, despite being quite a bad normal, can cancel into an unjumpable Break Spiral on block.
