*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)
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 '''2369B''' can be used as anti-airs
* '''[4]6A/C''' can be used for chip damage or as a callout, though it's not very rewarding
* '''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


*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.
 
*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.
 
*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.
 
*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
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...

*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.

The Brutal Break Dancer
Ffspecduck colors.png

Introduction

A breakdancing close range speedster that also gets grappler privileges once he has access to his super. Deadly if he gets in, harmless if he doesn't.

Pros Cons
  • Fast in every way possible
  • Flashiest combos in the game
  • Extremely useful super move...
  • ...which is also extremely tricky to pull off
  • Effective only in close range
  • Unsafe specials

  • Two hits, but the second one never connects due to the amount of pushback on hit. Unsafe on block unless cancelled. No need to use this.

  • Moves forward while boasting a great hitbox and frame advantage. Also one of the only cancellable far heavy normals in the game.
  • One of the very few Duck normals that hits past point-blank range, so you'll be using this a lot.

  • Won't hit unless you're right next to your opponent, and at that range you're better off using your jabs.
  • Not too great as an anti-air either, as it ends up trading most of the time.

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.

  • Travels farther than the B version. Use with caution, as it's incredibly unsafe if the last hit fails to land.
  • Massive stun potential (18 points) if you can land all 3 hits, but you'll need a corner crossup for that to happen.
