Introduction
Move Analysis
Normal Moves
Dictator is a character that relies heavily on using his normal moves well. Luckily, his normals are generally very good, and he has some of the best pokes in the game.
Standing Normals
Bold textFar standing LP:Bold text
A basic punch that you generally won't use a lot since his standing LK has both better damage and is faster.
Far standing MP:
This will probably be your least used normal move with Dictator. While the move deals good damage for a medium punch, his standing HK is both faster, more damaging, and has a bigger hitbox, giving this move little reason to be used. This move is also one of Dictator's slowest normals, hitting at frame 8.
Far standing HP:
This move uses the same animation as the standing MP with some added frames and a psycho power effect. Damage is 130, which is very good for a normal move. Unfortunately, this move is almost twice as slow as the standing HK, has a smaller hitbox, and has shorter range. Once again, there is not much reason to use this move rather than using the standing HK. One advantage of this move is that it can be super-cancelled.
Far standing LK:
Similar to the standing LP, the standing LK is one frame faster and does 10 additional points of damage. Another advantage of the standing LK is that it gives a frame advantage of +6 on hit, which means that it can frame link into both itself, a standing LP, crouching MK, and a standing MK and HK. This gives Dictator the option to do some additional damage from a fast move without needing backwards charge.
Far standing MK:
A great poke that comes out fast and has good range and recovery. This move is shadowed by the standing HK, which has the same speed, but more power. However, the MK will always hit a crouching opponent and is useful at maxiumum poking range.
Far standing HK:
This is perhaps the best normal move in the game. Dictator's standing HK hits on the sixth frame, does 120 damage, and has a huge hitbox that can effectively be used both as anti-air and for hitting opponents on the ground. The animation of this move is deceiving, because the actual hitbox will actually hit much lower than what it looks like. At maximum range however, the move will not hit crouchers, and so there are situations where MK does a better job. The move also has a +3 frame advantage on hit, giving Dictator the initiative if it hits.

The 1 frame discrepancy you see between Startup+Active+Recovery and Total is because when it says a move has 4 frames startup, it really has 3 frames startup and hits on frame 4. It was written this way so you don't have to do any math to figure out what frame a move first hits on.
