Introduction

A globally popular dance music superstar, Dee Jay is always ready to have a good time. With a burning love for music and fighting, this Jamaican sensation drives audiences wild with hot new songs and stylish moves.

Dee Jay is a pressure-oriented rushdown character with many ways to set up frame traps or other mixups. His playstyle heavily revolves around feinting, wherein Dee Jay looks like he is approaching or performing a move before ducking away and returning to neutral. Efficient use of feints, his strong pressure buttons, and his excellent Drive Rush can let Dee Jay dance all over the screen like it's nothing.

Jus Cool is Dee Jay's primary tool setting up his pressure, and is a very unique special move. Most comparable to Slayer's "Dandy Step" from the Guilty Gear franchise, Jus Cool sways Dee Jay back and allows him to follow up with five unique follow-ups. Jus Cool can be followed up with a low kick that frame traps, an overhead kick that is safe and knocks down on hit, a launching knee swing for anti-airs, and a forwards dash that can be canceled out of with a second sway back. Utilizing all of these follow-ups can be somewhat tricky, but thankfully Dee Jay has numerous excellent pressure normals to help him along. His 5MP is plus, his 6MK is a plus normal that catches jump-outs, and his j.2K allows him to reset pressure with a jump-in attack must faster than other characters. Combining Jus Cool with his close range pressure options allows Dee Jay to mix opponents regardless of where he is on the screen, making him a devastating dance partner to be duking it out with.

Dee Jay's special move selection is rounded out by Air Slasher, a charge fireball that can be used to counter-zone, Jackknife Maximum for anti-airing, and Rolling Sobat to cover ground and either stagger or knock the opponent down. The most notable trait of these three moves, which winds up tying back into his trickiness, is that their light versions are all feints, which allows Dee Jay to bait people into responding for whiff punishes or reset pressure if he is close. To this end, Dee Jay has a lot of very fast movement options; his forward dash and particularly his Drive Rush are incredibly quick, which pairs well with his many lengthy pokes. If Dee Jay manages to get a good hit his damage potential becomes extremely high, as his OD moves all deal incredible damage and his Machine Gun Upper special is one of the highest damage combo enders in the game.

Dee Jay's up close pressure and screen control is very strong, but comes with somewhat of an awkward kit to work with. None of Dee Jay's longer reaching normals are special cancelable, making it difficult for him to meaningfully follow up with pokes. As well, all of his cancelable buttons are stubby, which can result in him dropping combos if the spacing isn't perfect. Armored moves, particularly Drive Impacts, will break right through his longer buttons if he doesn't use them carefully. Additionally, because his primary reversal is Overdrive Jackknife Maximum and he uses a lot of Drive for conversions, Dee Jay generally has a hard time in Burnout. Thus, Dee Jay can be a surprisingly demanding character at high levels of play. While all of the above can make Dee Jay somewhat awkward to play, putting time into using him effectively will carry you very far. If you enjoy cool beats and slick dance moves, do the dancehall ting with Dee Jay.

Frame Data Glossary - SF6
Hitbox Images	🟥 (Red): Attack hitbox Appears pink for Throw hitboxes 🟩 (Green): Vulnerable hurtbox that can be hit by strikes/projectiles If a move's hitbox and hurtbox overlap, the colors blend to appear orange 🟦 (Blue): Vulnerable throw hurtbox Will be thrown if Pink throw hitbox touches Blue throw hurtbox
Active	How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for. For projectiles with a maximum active period, a value may be listed in [brackets], but this number is not factored into the move's total frame count. For multi-hit moves with no gaps between the active hitboxes, active frames are listed as X,Y (or sometimes X*Y) For multi-hit moves with gaps between hits, active frames are listed as X(n)Y where n = the frame gap between hitboxes.
Cancel	Available options for canceling one move into another move. "Chn": Chain cancel (Light normals; specific chain options listed in Description) "TC": Target Combo "Sp": Special move "SA": Super Art (if a number is listed, refers only to that specific Super; SA3 = Lv.3 Super Art) "Jmp": Jump cancel (usually on hit only, if applicable) "SS": Serenity Stream (Chun-Li's stance) If one hit of a multi-hit attack is cancelable, this can be indicated with (1st), (2nd), etc. Occasionally, a move can be canceled only into a specific follow-up (e.g. Dee Jay [4]6P > 22PP); this can be indicated by listing the move input in the Cancel field, or with an asterisk that is explained in the move notes (Sp*)
Cancel Hitconfirm Windows	Hitconfirm reaction windows into Special Moves, Target Combos, and Super Arts. Refers to the amount of time (in frames) you have to cancel one attack into another attack on reaction e.g. most cancelable 2MKs have a 13 frame window to cancel into a Special/Super on reaction, making them nearly impossible to hitconfirm Counts from the first frame the attack connects until the final cancelable frame Visual effects like hitsparks and HP drain do not actually occur until frame 2; the first frame is still counted to keep the numbers consistent with previous games, and because it is technically possible to start reacting to the character's reeling animation on frame 1 If a Target Combo is cancelable into another attack, the hitconfirm window will include the entire sequence starting from the first hit If there is a frame gap on block between hits of the TC, the hitconfirm window may also be included for just the followup hit Some sequences like Ken's 5MP~HP TC may have a range of values listed (43f~47f). In this example, inputting 5MP~HP at its usual timing gives a 43f hitconfirm into a Special/Super. Delaying the chain into HP gives more total time for the final hitconfirm.
Damage	Attack damage on hit. Multi-hit moves may have the damage listed for individual hits as X,Y (or sometimes X*Y). Sometimes a move's damage changes depending on which active frame connects, or on cinematic vs. non-cinematic hits; in this case, multiple values may be listed, and it will be clarified in the move description.
Damage Scaling	Some moves cause additional damage scaling in combos. Refer to Game Data page for a more detailed breakdown. Scaling Types: Starter: When a move begins the combo, the next attack is scaled by X percent e.g. Ryu 2MK (20% Starter) > Hadoken: Hadoken is at 80% damage scaling Combo: When a move is comboed into, the next attack is scaled by X percent or X number of hits e.g. Ryu 2HP > OD High Blade Kick (2-Hit Combo Scaling) > Shoryuken: Shoryuken is at 70% damage scaling (100% > 100% > [skip 80%] > 70%) e.g. Cammy 5HP > OD Spiral Arrow (5% Combo Scaling) > Cannon Spike: Cannon Spike is at 75% damage scaling (100% > 100% > [80-5 = 75%]) Immediate: When a move is comboed into, this attack is scaled by X percent e.g. Drive Impact Crumple (20% Starter) > Throw (20% Immediate): Throw is at 60% damage scaling Multiplier: A damage scaling multiplier applies after Perfect Parry (50%) and mid-combo Drive Rush (15%). Any hits in the combo continue their usual damage scaling, but reduced by these amounts. These can bring the minimum scaling below the usual 10%, and they stack with each other; as a result, the minimum scaling can reach 4% using a long Drive Rush combo after Perfect Parry. Minimum Scaling: The lowest damage scaling that can be applied to an attack. Super Art Level 1/2/3 generally has 30%/40%/50% minimum scaling respectively. This ensures the attack will still do reasonable damage even at the end of a heavily scaled combo.
Drive Rush Cancel Advantage	Refers to the frame advantage when canceling a normal, command normal, or Target Combo into Drive Rush on hit or block (abbreviated as DRC for Drive Rush Cancel). This is calculated at the moment a follow-up attack can be input, not at the moment the character can block or perform movement options. An attack that with DRC +8 on Hit can link into an 8-frame attack, and DRC +4 on Block can create a true blockstring into a 4-frame attack. Note that any DRC on Block worse than +4 cannot form a true blockstring, allowing the opponent to interrupt with an invincible reversal. Most light normals are slightly negative after a DRC on block, meaning the opponent can mash their fastest normal to guarantee a counter-hit (though this requires fast reactions). The attacking character could punish this with Light > DRC into an immediate invincible attack, but this would be an incredibly expensive and high-risk gambit.
Forced Knockdown	Most airborne command normals, special moves, and Super Arts put the user in a "Forced Knockdown" state. While in this state, an air knockdown will occur when being hit by any attack, even if it would otherwise cause an air reset. As an example, Ryu's 2HP causes an air reset when used as an anti-air. Against a move like Cammy's Hooligan Combination, however, the 2HP puts her into an air knockdown state. This allows Ryu to successfully cancel 2HP into Shoryuken for a juggle, similar to how a Drive Impact wall splat works. Taking advantage of Forced Knockdown juggles is important for dealing with moves like Ken's Dragonlash, Dhalsim's Air Teleport, or Kimberly's 6HK~Hop sequence. Moves that already cause an air knockdown, like most j.MP air-to-airs, will not display the "Forced Knockdown" message.
Guard	Refers to the direction an attack must be blocked. L is for Low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks/overheads (must be blocked standing), LH is for attacks that can be blocked crouching or standing. T is for Throw attacks which cannot be blocked.
Juggles	When a character is put into an Air Knockdown state, it is often possible to follow up with a Juggle attack before they hit the ground. In the simplest terms, there are 2 main juggle states: Free Juggle: any attack can juggle, causing an Air Reset or an Air Knockdown Limited Juggle: only specific attacks with juggle potential may juggle The following is a more detailed overview of the SF6 juggle system: Juggle Count (JC): The status of the character being juggled. A high JC limits which attacks can work in juggles. JC0: free juggle state - any attack that can hit an airborne opponent will work JC1+: limited juggle state - juggle only works if the attack's Juggle Limit ≥ defender's Juggle Count A juggle count of -1 represents a crumple state; this can lead to a grounded or airborne hit depending on timing Juggle Start (JS): When starting a juggle, the opponent's JC will be set to this value. May be different vs. standing and airborne opponents. Attack with Juggle Start value of 3 will put opponent at JC3, so only attacks with Juggle Limit value ≥ 3 can follow up Even for attacks that don't normally start a juggle, this is relevant for Forced Knockdown and Crumple situations Juggle Increase (JI): When opponent is already in a juggle state, attacks will increase the opponent's JC by this amount. Airborne opponent at JC1 followed by attack with Juggle Increase value of 3 will set opponent to JC4 Juggle Limit (JL): Property of an attack hitbox that determines whether it connects on a juggled opponent. The JL must be ≥ the opponent's JC to hit successfully. An uppercut with a JL value of 5 will connect on an opponent at JC5 or below, but will whiff on JC6 opponent Most normals have a JL value of 0, meaning they only work in Free Juggle (JC0) states Some multi-hit attacks have different JL values on each hit, so a 3-hit move may only hit twice in juggles An example to tie everything together: An attack (JS3) launches opponent into the air (Opponent now at JC3) Followed up with an attack (JI2/JL4); it connects, because JL4 ≥ JC3 (Opponent now at JC5) Attempts to juggle again with same attack (JL4), but whiffs because JL4 < JC5 (Opponent hits the ground) Drive Rush notes: DR normals have a Juggle Start/Increase value of 0 DR normals have +3 added to their usual Juggle Limit More recently, the official definitions used by Capcom are slightly different than these community-designated terms. When reading official patch notes, the following terms are used instead: Combo Count Initial Value Combo Count Additional Value Combo Count Upper Limit
On Hit/Block	These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will recover before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. KD refers to knockdown on hit, and the listed KD Advantage refers to how many frames the attacker can act before the defender finishes their wakeup animation. Note that generally, there is an extra +2 hit advantage on Counterhits and +4 hit advantage on Punish Counters (exceptions are noted in the description).
Recovery	How many frames it takes for a move to finish after the active frames have finished. For projectiles, recovery is considered to begin after the first active frame. Moves with different recovery values on hit/block/whiff may have multiple values listed like X(Y), with specific details listed in the description.
Startup	How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or have a hit box. The last startup frame and the first active frame are the same frame, meaning all values are written as Startup + 1. Moves with multiple relevant startup values may be listed as X(Y); for example, a move that hits airborne first before hitting grounded opponents, or a 2-hit move where the first hit whiffs at some ranges.
IASA / Actionable Recovery	Some moves play out an extended recovery animation when no other button/direction is input (for crouching moves, it applies when holding any down direction). These are often referred to as "actionable recovery" frames; in some games, the term IASA (Interruptible As Soon As) refers to the frame that Actionable Recovery begins. Letting the Actionable Recovery frames play out can change the character's position, potentially setting up spacing traps by recovering farther away. For example, Manon 5HP will recover much farther away from the opponent if no input is performed immediately after her recovery; holding back or down-back to block will keep her much closer to the opponent.

Dee Jay's fastest normal, and has 1 frame lower recovery than any other jab in the game. It does have notably shorter range than 2LP, though, so it's only preferable to use when there's a 4 frame gap in pressure.

Active frames 3-6 whiff on crouching opponents

A forward-lunging punch with good utility in combos. The first 2 active frames are cancelable and work against crouching opponents; this allows Dee Jay to combo into 214HP using Drive Rush cancels or juggle routes. If spaced at farther ranges, 5HP is no longer cancelable but gains additional frame advantage for followup links. However, it cannot hit crouching opponents at this range, making it a riskier approach tool.

One of Dee Jay's best pokes, with the great range and speed only being balanced by a lack of cancelability and how difficult it can be to confirm off of. Punish Counter allows a link into 5HP from further out, and 4HK when up close. Despite the low recovery, it still demands some care when hitting a Drive Impact.

An absolutely massive kick that has incredible range, speed and reward on Punish Counter. A great whiff punish button, but it has no cancel window and incredibly high recovery, making it highly whiff punishable itself and extremely susceptible to Drive Impact.

Advantage on Punish Counter: +18

One of Dee Jay's more well-rounded buttons with decent range, speed, advantage, and high Punish Counter reward. Links to 2MP naturally or 5MK on Punish Counter only. Very important for comboing into Jackknife Maximum, as it forces an opponent to stand on hit. Can be used as a poke and pressure tool, especially when in closer range or when 5HK is too risky to throw out due to Drive Impact.

One of Dee Jay's strangest buttons, acting more like a sweep than a 2MK. While not bad by any means, it's a clear weakness to not have a traditional cancelable low poke to reliably confirm off of. It does give him a solid knockdown even on normal hit, though, allowing him to set up meaties and throws even from a back recovery. It's also one of the safest "sweeps" in the game, with few characters being able to punish it when spaced well. Has generally the same frame data as a regular cancelable 2MK, but is unique in that its hitbox is very disjointed on startup, making it an exceptionally good counterpoke.

Another very strange Dee Jay move, 2HK is a slide rather than a traditional sweep. Unlike in previous games, it doesn't slide under fireballs. It does, however, have a significant anti-air hitbox that is strange to hit with but can work surprisingly well and give a Forced Knockdown juggle combo when trying to hit out moves that hover near the ground at mid range (e.g. Ken's Dragonlash, Marisa's Phalanx, or divekicks). Just be wary of this move's slow startup and recovery, especially when trying to use it reactively or space it on block.

A fast but unconventional two-hitting anti-air, useful for when Dee Jay doesn't have down charge. The hitbox isn't nearly as reliable for stuffing jump-ins as Guile's anti-air buttons, so sometimes it may be safer to simply go for an air-to-air. It does have a generous cancel window on both hits, however, making for easy and consistent grounded hit confirms.

Dampens the upward momentum of your jump, creating a short hop of sorts. A useful tool that allows you to reset pressure with a jump-in faster and better than most characters. Being active the entire way down also means it can be difficult to anti-air for certain characters and buttons. It can also be used to fake out a cross-up, altering your jump arc and making it difficult for the opponent to know which side you'll land on.

This target combo is a canned mixup. On block, no feint is safe, as it can be punished with a 6 frame attack. However, doing the attack followup instead, while unsafe, leaves a 3 frame gap meaning that no normal can check the string. If your opponent knows this, they may sit still, allowing the feint to start working again. On counterhit, the final hit launches. In the corner this can be especially potent, notably when dumping some resources.

Dee Jay's forward throw has a notably high amount of knockdown advantage. A dash afterward is almost always advised, as it still leaves you +15 and allows you to gain some ground on a back roll. In the corner, a single dash will put you point blank at +15, meaning throw loops must be manually timed. However, several meaty options are available.

Dee Jay performs a quick feint with the same startup animation as his other fireball. Recovers much quicker than the other versions, and can be used to bait unsafe options an opponent may use to try and go through your fireballs.

45f charge time

A basic, single fireball that travels fairly quickly. The main reason to use this over the heavy version is its lower total frames of commitment, leaving you less vulnerable to things that beat fireballs like jump-ins and Drive Impact.

17(34)	-	43	SA3 22PP	500x2	LH	+3	-3

45f charge time

Dee Jay throws two fireballs with a small gap in between. The two fireballs will outnumber and win a clash against a single normal fireball, but an OD fireball will beat out both of them and continue to move towards you. It may seem tempting to always use this version over MP at first, but the overall commitment and total frames of it actually make it much easier for an opponent to punish and thus should typically only be used to beat other fireballs or to chip an opponent in Burnout.

10(23)	[11(1)~]	35	SA2 SA3	500x2	LH	+5 (KD +69)	+2

45f charge time

Dee Jay quickly swings his arm twice, clashing fireballs with the first swing and creating one very large fireball that launches on hit with the second. If properly timed, the first swing can beat out an OD fireball while the second swing's fireball still goes through, giving it basically as much anti-fireball potential as HP Air Slasher. If the fireball hits, you can Drive Rush in to get a combo about 3/4 screen away. The size of the fireball means it is harder to jump over and cannot be low profiled like the other versions of this move (and most other fireballs).

Only 1st hit connects on crouching opponents; puts opponent into limited juggle state

Dee Jay's main invincible reversal. Since his Level 1 isn't invincible and his Level 2 is fairly slow, you will be relying on this move a lot as your invincible option. It is massively unsafe on block, so don't be reckless. Can also be used as an anti-air for slightly more damage and consistency than the HK version.

A flash kick style move with slightly shorter charge time, good combo potential, but a relatively small area of effect. It's easy to miss or even trade when anti-airing with this. The feint, however, is a very unique and widely applicable mix-up and pressure tool. Do be aware that the meterless versions will whiff on crouching opponents.

Dee Jay's all new special move that heavily defines his new "sway" centric playstyle. Upon activation, Dee Jay will perform a backstep with 5 different follow-ups that he can go into to mix up opponents. Can be canceled into from Drive Rush to bait whiffs, instantly ending your forward momentum. The startup of the sway combined with the followups makes them fairly reactable and difficult to combo into, but in exchange all the followups are safe on block. All followups lose to Drive Impact, forcing you to do nothing to beat it—a sway without followups is very hard to punish, though, so it remains a very good tool to bait reactions in neutral.

The Overdrive version of Jus Cool gains an initial launching hit at a blazing fast 8 frames startup, making it incredibly easy and rewarding to combo into if in range for the initial hit. Bear in mind the somewhat limited range can make it occasionally difficult to combo into it from further out. Additionally all the followups have different frame data compared to the meterless versions

Low kick from Jus Cool. The safest and most solid follow-up that is extremely good at beating low pokes thanks to its massive disjointed hitbox. It also converts into great damage on Counterhit or Punish Counter for the normal version and obscene damage on the OD version. Many characters will be discouraged from using low pokes in fear of this move, and instead will be urged to choose riskier options in neutral.

If Dee Jay reaches 2 bars of Super Gauge while dancing, he has an additional 73f unskippable animation
- Continues building meter as usual during this transition; total minimum of 206f + 4018 Super gauge

Speedy Maracas is a fun little move that lets Dee Jay dance to build Super meter. The meter initially builds in one small chunk, then builds continuously as the buttons are held (only one button needs to be held to continue dancing). If the move is held, recovery will begin as soon as the buttons are released. The dance itself picks up in intensity after Dee Jay hits 2 bars, as he gains a second spotlight.

This move serves very little purpose in competitive matches, as the recovery is enormous; even when canceling a fullscreen Air Slasher into 22PP, slow characters can easily block the projectile and move in for a punish. After stunning a burned out opponent, it's possible to tap 22PP and land a quick combo before the opponent falls down, but Dee Jay gets more damage and meter with a simple jump-in punish.

40% minimum damage scaling

Dee Jay lunges forward with a knee strike that can chain into a series of followup attack. The initial activation is nearly identical for all versions of Lv.2 Super, with the HP starter doing only slightly less damage. This hit has great forward movement and invincibility. It's too slow for most reversal applications, but it's great at countering projectiles at mid-range (though it can be difficult to use against characters like Guile).

Regardless of which version is used, the followups can only come out on hit; each hit causes no additional damage scaling, so linking out of the +6 can still be useful. Dee Jay stops immediately if the initial attack whiffs or is blocked, unable to continue with followups.

The timing of the followup sequence starts easy with LP Super, then increases in difficulty with each button strength. This allows players to choose between a safe, consistent combo or a risky but rewarding finisher. This video is a good example for learning the button timing on the MP and HP followups, with audio and visual cues to help practice.

The followups to LP Lv.2 Super require no particular rhythm on the hits; just mashing the buttons in sequence is enough to guarantee the full damage. Using this version guarantees a safe 2600 damage, which is only a reduction of 200 max damage from MP Super, or 400 from HP Super. There is no cinematic ender like on the MP and HP versions; as a result, Dee Jay cannot choose which direction to knock the opponent, and he cannot get oki after the knockdown unless he reaches the corner.

Remains on same side; requires perfect rhythm sequence to activate

The MP followups allow for higher damage than the LP version if the buttons are pressed in a particular rhythm. The key is to input each followup right as the previous one connects with the opponent. The hitstop of each hit is reduced compared to the LP Super, so the full animation will feel a bit faster overall. If you drop the rhythm on any hit, you cannot get the rhythm bonus on any further hits in the sequence.

If you managed to get the full rhythm of each hit, you can end with a cinematic finisher. HP switches sides, allowing Dee Jay to regain corner control and even gives oki if he was close to the wall. HK keeps Dee Jay on the same side and grants a Hard Knockdown, allowing for a forward dash into great oki. Choosing not to end in the cinematic hit after a full-rhythm connect will significantly reduce the Super's damage; it would actually be better to land a non-rhythm HK at the end. If done perfectly all the way to the end, Dee Jay will do 200 more damage than LP Super.

The HP version is essentially the same as the MP version, but the timing is even harder. Each hit does even less hitstop than the MP version, causing the full animation to move more quickly with less of an impact on each strike. If done perfectly all the way to the end, Dee Jay will do 400 more damage than LP Super and 200 more damage than MP Super.

A Level 3 that is able to do very high damage thanks to Dee Jay's already good combo scaling and damage. Low horizontal range, but works well as an anti-air.
