Notable Changes from USF4 to Omega

Bafcord Omega Doc - Dee Jay
Detailed Frame Data with USF4 Comparisons - Dee Jay

• Throw: slightly shorter range

• Movement Changes:
  • Forward Dash: 3f faster (19f > 16f)
  • Back Dash: slightly farther distance

• Normal Move Changes:
  • cl.5HP 1st hit forces stand (2nd hit still whiffs vs. crouch block); safer on hit/block
  • cl.5HK does 30 less damage, now knocks down; safer on block unless 2nd hit whiffs vs. crouch block on shorter characters
  • far.5HP is 4f safer on hit/block at -1/-5
  • far.5HK is 3f safer on hit/block at -2/-6
  • 2MP is 5f better on hit/block at +5/+2, can now be used for confirms
  • 2HP is 2f faster, 5f better on hit/block at +2/-2
  • 2MK now special cancels (still knocks down); does 10 more damage, 60 more stun
    • Can juggle into LP/EX MGU, HK/EX Jackknife, EX Sobat, EX Fireball, or Super on hit
  • 2HK is 3f faster, does 10 more damage, 60 more stun; worse on block and fewer active frames so it can't be spaced as safely

• Command Normal Changes:
  • Sunrise Heel (3MK) - New attack, Overhead; fast but not comboable and slightly unsafe on block
  • Maximum High (6HK) - New attack, whiffs on crouching opponents, can be juggled into
    • Leads to Funky Summersault (+ 2HK) Target Combo, has a very long hitconfirm window
  • Knee Shot (Air 2LK) - No longer changes jump trajectory, puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state

• Special Move Changes (note - all specials are now motion inputs):
  • Air Slasher (236P) - LP is slow with good frame advantage, HP is fast but very unsafe
    • EX is fast + advantageous, allowing for combo loops; hitting PP again throws a 2nd fireball that knocks down (can juggle afterward)
  • Double Rolling Sobat (236K) - all versions now knock down and do more damage; 2nd hit of MK/HK version can Super cancel
    • LK/MK are faster, HK is slower; LK is much more unsafe at -7
    • EX version is now Maximum Hurricane; costs 2 bars, does great damage/stun
  • Jackknife Maximum (623K) - all versions do more damage and significantly more stun; LK version is 2f faster, hits grounded opponents
    • EX version now has a grounded hit, can FADC for safety; goes into followup animation on hit; much more unsafe on block
  • Machine Gun Upper (214P) - mashed versions have a somewhat different knockdown; last mashed hit cannot cancel into Super/Focus
    • LP/MP/EX versions are upper body invuln, HP version is lower body invuln
    • EX version is much stronger and a little less unsafe, but has no mashed version; cannot FADC or juggle afterward
  • Waning Moon (63214K) - slow flip kick similar to Elena's Mallet Smash; only the EX version is an overhead
    • All versions are safe on block and can combo afterward on hit; has 1f better advantage vs. short crouching characters

• Super/Ultra Changes:
  • Super (236236+K) - now 0 on block, although it whiffs over crouching opponents midscreen (except Hugo)
    • Can cancel from any special except Jackknife, including the 2nd hit of Sobat for a good damage buff in combos
    • No longer cancels to Ultra 1, which was his most important way of landing it; big nerf to his chip kill potential
  • Ultra 1 (236236+KKK) - lost its main setup, so mostly only used for fireball punishing
  • Ultra 2 (214214+PPP) - can no longer get cinematic version in juggles, making it weaker in most cases; EX MGU no longer works as a setup
    • Slightly more unsafe on block, and cinematic version does 10 more damage

• Moves with ending Frame Buffer:
  • cl.5LP, cl.5LK, cl.5MK, cl.5HK, far.5LP, far.5LK, 2LP, 2MP, Focus Attack + Forward Dash
  • LP Air Slasher, EX Air Slasher (+ 2nd), mashed Machine Gun Upper extension, Waning Moon

Useful Info

Reversals:

• LK/EX Jackknife Maximum (/ / 623LK/KK) - only the EX version can FADC
• LP/MP/EX Machine Gun Upper (// / 214LP/MP/PP) - all have upper body invincibility
• HP Machine Gun Upper ( / 214HP) - has lower body invincibility if you predict a low, but too slow to beat crouching lights
• Double Sobat ( / 236K) - LK is 3f lower body invuln, MK/HK are 1f throw invuln
• Super ( / 236236+K) - fast, safe if stand blocked, very invincible
• Ultra 1 / Ultra 2 - both invincible, U2 is generally better

Anti-Airs:

• LK Jackknife Maximum ( / 623LK) - most consistent version, EX is much worse now
• cl.5MP - for close/crossup jumps
• far.5HP - farther ranges, otherwise forward movement can make Dee Jay whiff under opponent
• far.5HK - mid/far range
• 2HK - low profiles, has an extra AA hitbox on his foot
• 6HK - average hitbox for far range AA, but gives 2HK Target Combo as a juggle
• Knee Shot - juggles opponent when used as air-to-air
• j.LK / nj.HP / j.HK - all decent air-to-airs; HP/HK slam opponent down, LK is fast

Anti-Focus:

• Double Sobat ( / 236K) - Armor Break, reasonably fast
• Machine Gun Upper ( / 214P) - fast and multi-hit, especially EX
• 6HK > 2HK TC - if 6HK is absorbed, the TC followup has invincibility that can beat focus release
• Super ( / 236236+K) - fast and invincible, especially useful as a cancel when you see a move focus absorbed
• Ultra 1 / Ultra 2 - either one can be done on reaction, although U2 may whiff if opponent is too far and backdashes

Anti-Projectile:

• Super / Ultra 1 - both have decent range and go through projectiles
• EX Sobat (Maximum Hurricane) - 3f projectile invuln, but not very useful beyond mid range
• MK Jackknife - can be used to beat fireball blockstrings if there is a gap; can also beat air fireballs

Juggles:

• cl.5HK: juggle into 6HK > 2HK TC
• 6HK > 2HK Target Combo: juggle into U2
• EX Air Slasher 2nd Hit: HK Jackknife up close, EX Sobat from farther range
• 2MK: cancel into HK Jackknife, EX Machine Gun Upper, or EX Sobat
• EX Jackknife xx FADC: 6HK > 2HK TC
• Knee Shot (air-to-air): 6HK > 2HK TC
• 2HK Anti-Air: juggle HK Jackknife (can also get 6HK > 2HK, but very tight)

Miscellaneous:

• While U2 is notably weaker, it's still the preferred Ultra in most matchups because it's a better reversal and can still add some damage in combos. U1 can still be a threat vs. projectiles, and occasionally as a punish when U2 doesn't have enough range.
