?

Heavy D! is a black boxer/actor/rap artist from the U.S.A. The D in his name is a mystery.

In a nutshell

Heavy D! is a combo/poking/mixup-based character with some decent mid-range pokes and the fastest backdash in the game. He is a low-mid tier character, but he still has all the tools to win and is only really lacking a good reversal. He is not such a good character for beginners, since nothing he has is really abusable; playing Heavy D requires fast execution and good knowledge of matchups and his normal's properties to make him shine.

f+A - Fast overhead when done alone, faster cancelable non-overhead when chained. Good for late-canceling from cr.A/C (ie chaining the f+A a little late to have it retain it's non-chained properties).

Throws

OR + - Unbreakable (mashable), forward knockdown, face forward, rollable.

OR + - Unbreakable (mashable), reverse knockdown, back turned, un-rollable.

D version preferred, but they are both good for being unbreakable throws.

-==Normal Moves==
+* Close Heavy Kick (Close [[File:snkd.gif]])-
-'''Standing A''' - Great anti-air vs short hop.
+* Crouching Light Punch ([[File:down.gif]] + [[File:snka.gif]])-
-'''Standing B''' - Slower than A, but connects on crouching opponents and is cancelable. You can use this to substitute cr.A in combos or block strings.
+* Crouching Light Kick ([[File:down.gif]] + [[File:snkb.gif]])-
-'''Standing C''' - Decent speed/reach mid poke.
+* Crouching Heavy Punch ([[File:down.gif]] + [[File:snkc.gif]])-
-'''Close D''' - Decently fast and cancelable on 2nd hit, so it makes for easy comboing/hit-confirms.
+*Crouching Heavy Kick ([[File:down.gif]] + [[File:snkd.gif]])-
-'''Crouching A''' - Very long range for a standard cr.A. You can hit-confirm his super from a couple of these from a pretty good range, or even whiff-punish with a single cr.A into super.
+* Jumping Light Punch ([[File:up.gif]] + [[File:snka.gif]])-
-'''Crouching B''' - Your fastest low, of course. Chainable into itself, cr.A, st.A, or st.B. Links into cr.C.
+* Jumping Light Kick  ([[File:up.gif]] + [[File:snkb.gif]])-
-'''Crouching C''' - Very fast and high priority move for anti-air as well as on the ground.  It has bad horizontal range/recovery, but you can cancel this into a special on hit or on whiff with the same timing. Learn to do this so you don't ever whiff it raw.
+* Jumping Heavy Punch ([[File:up.gif]] + [[File:snkc.gif]])-
-'''Jumping A''' - Awesome jump-in. Similar to Kyo's j.B or Yashiro's j.A.
+* Jumping Heavy Kick ([[File:up.gif]] + [[File:snkd.gif]])-
-'''Jumping B''' - Awesome cross-up. Hits mostly behind him, but can hit from the front as well.
+* Jumping Blowback ([[File:up.gif]] + [[File:snkc.gif]] [[File:snkd.gif]])-
-'''Neutral normal jump B''' - Pretty good air-to-air.
-'''Jumping''' C - 2-hit jump-in move. You can time it like a normal just-in and just use the 1st hit, which looks the same as his jumping A. If you use both hits, depending on when they stand up it can change the timing for comboing because the 1st hit might whiff, but it is possible to hit most crouchers with both hits. The extra hit can help with a guard break.
+=== Command Normals ===
+*'''f+A''' - Fast overhead when done alone, faster cancelable non-overhead when chained. Good for late-canceling from cr.A/C (ie chaining the f+A a little late to have it retain it's non-chained properties).
-'''Jumping CD''' - Decent speed, long reach. Good for air-to-air or air-to-ground. Try using it off a hyper hop where the tip of his fist will barely reach the opponent.
+=== Throws ===
+*'''[[File:left.gif]] OR [[File:right.gif]] + [[File:snkc.gif]]''' - Unbreakable (mashable), forward knockdown, face forward, rollable.
-==Command Normals==
+*'''[[File:left.gif]] OR [[File:right.gif]] + [[File:snkd.gif]]''' - Unbreakable (mashable), reverse knockdown, back turned, un-rollable.
-'''f+A''' - Fast overhead when done alone, faster cancelable non-overhead when chained. Good for late-canceling from cr.A/C (ie chaining the f+A a little late to have it retain it's non-chained properties).
+D version preferred, but they are both good for being unbreakable throws.
-==Special Moves==
+=== Special Moves ===
-'''RSD aka Rolling Soul Diver (qcf+P)''' - Your main combo ender in meterless combos, lots of range so it won't ever miss. Both versions will combo from the same things, but A vesion has better recovery. On block it is punishable by fast long range moves like Iori's A rekkas, so be careful. The powered-up versions do more hits, and the C version knocks down.
+=== Desperation Moves ===
-'''Blast Upper (qcf+K)''' - D version is preferred due to range. A good safe move to end block strings with. It's also a good combo ender if you want a knockdown, but it's range is quite a bit less than RSD so it won't connect from that much stuff. The powered-up versions do 2 hits. As long as you space it right, qcf+D is safe on block.
+== Combos ==
+Most important combos listed at the top. He has a lot of different variations on things so experiment!
-'''Ducking Combination (qcb+P~qcb+P)''' - The first hit has invincibly as he's moving forward, so you can use this to go through fireballs or bait CD counters. A version is faster/less invincibility, C version slower/more invincibility. Note that it won't combo from anything. The followup qcb+P can be overhead (A version) or low (C version). Note that the C followup is a bit faster and will combo from the first qcb+P, but the overhead won't. The powered-up versions do additional hits and knockdown for both the first hits and the followup (depending if you stop at the first hit or not).
+*cr.B(xN),cr.A,f+A xx RSD (qcf+P)
-'''Soul Flower (qcb+K)''' - Slow shitty dumb ass move. Okay you can use it as an early anti-air but come on. The powered-up versions do 2 hits.
+*cr.B(xN),cr.A xx D. Crazy (qcb,hcf+P)
-'''Dancing Beat (dp+P)''' - A proximity unblockable. The Shadow (powered up) version does more hits and lets you juggle from it.
+*cr.C/cl.C,f+A xx RSD (qcf+P)/Blast Upper (qcf+D)
-'''Shadow (d,d+P)''' - Powers up all of Heady D's specials, making them do more hits/damage/safer etc. It also powers up itself, and behaves as a proximity unblockable like his Dancing Beat. This only powers moves up for one use, it's not stackable, and it also wears off if you get hit.
+*cl.D (2 hits) xx RSD (qcf+P)/Blast Upper (qcf+D)/D. Crazy (qcb,hcf+P)
-==Desperation Moves==
+*cr.B, cr.C xx D Blast Upper (qcf+D)
-'''D. Crazy (qcb,hcf+P)''' - His main source of combo damage, and comboable from cr.A as well as heavier attacks. Very fast (you can punish incompleted Iori rekkas with it), invinciblity on startup, and punishable by very fast moves like cr.A. MAX version does more damage, and is very punishable due to a pause in the hits.
+*''powered up, MAX only'' dp+P, D. Magnum (qcf,qcf+P)
-'''D. Magnum (qcf,qcf+P)''' - The MAX version will combo off his powered-up Dancing Beat (good luck landing that), but other than that it's useless. You can charge it I guess. I mean it doesn't become unblockable or anything but if it makes you feel better then go right ahead.
