Legal: I really dont care what you do with this being that all this
stuff is my opinion. I doubt you'll find something real grand to
claim your own. But if you do, try to remember where you got it.
All characters are copyright Capcom......blah blah.

1. Background
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Yall know who this guys is...dont you? Deejay is the dancing
singing fighting comboing machine that is really tryin to score some
big record deal. I really dont know his history...I seriously hope
it isnt that important to you, but if youre lookin for it try checkin
out another faq. Mainly I was only discussing his background in
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (ST for short).
Ok, so I never played in any huge tournaments, lets get that
out of the way now. But i played plenty. IMO Deejay was a dominating
force next to the rest. Of course there was Bison and all the others,
but Deejay was just sooooo much fun to play. I loved playin the
shotokan boys....Deejay always had the upper edge on them. Hmmmmm..
.charge characters makin a comback.....na. Anyways, this modern
Bob Marley had all sorts of counters: air, ground, whatever. His
projectile attacks were fairly quick, however his Rolling Sobat
was rather slow. Combos were a plenty in ST for deejay.....if you
didnt get to see the gamest tape on ST then you are really missin out!
This faq is going on the premonition that youve played A3 and are
familiar with all the goodies....modes, escapes, etc. If you need
the basics like that I suggest Kao Megura's FAQ at gamefaqs.com.

2. Regular Moves Analysis
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Moves work on all modes unless noted otherwise.
Standing Jab: Fairly quick straight punch. Can be comboed
three times in sucsession or mixed up with
shorts.
Standing Strong: Standing uppercut punch. No comboability
found as of yet.
Standing Fierce: Another standing uppercut punch...with
opposite hand as strong. More damage here,
no comboability as of yet. Fairly good air
counter.
Standing Short: Swift kick to the shin. Comboed up to three
times.
Standing Forward: Back kick....two hits. Decent GB damage.
Standing Roundhouse: Roundhouse kick with very good range.
More GB Damage than Forward, however,
Opponents can duck under, unlike the
forward.
Crouching Jab: Quick straight punch to knee area. Can be
comboed two times in sucsession or mixed up
with shorts.
Crouching Strong: Elbow to the foot. Good priority over
most ground moves. No comboability found
as of yet....good luck (arcades another
story)!
Crouching Fierce: Hard elbow to the midsection. Nothing
fancy here...no comboability as of yet.
Crouching Short: Fast ground kick to the ankle. Can be
comboed with two more shorts or one jab.
Crouching Forward: IMO Dee Jay's real roundhouse...sweep to
opponents feet taking them to the
ground. Good setup to crossovers.
Crouching Roundhouse: Deejay gets on his back and slides
forward slightly. Ok, im not real
sure about this move going under
projectiles. I have slid under one or
two fireballs....but to be honest, I
think I was just lucky. Safest bet
would be to block or jump over them.
Jumping Jab: Weak punch at opponents head.
Jumping Strong: A jumping version of the standing strong.
Near impossible to hit standing opp with.
Jumping Fierce: Stronger punch similar to jumping jab. Good
damage...I use this in conjunction with
jumping forwards to start combos.
Jumping Short: Weak kick high in the air. Again, near
impossible to hit standing opp with. A quick,
straight jump up with short is good to stop
most jump in attacks.
*Note* Dee Jay has another short. Press down and short
afer you jump and he will drop with a knee.
Jumping Forward: Jumping straight kick. IMO what makes Dee
Jay deadly. His crossover attack...with
great priority for the crossup.
Jumping Roundhouse: Kick in downward motion. Good damge,
ok priority.
*Note* Close moves refer to Z-ism and X-ism -- Dee Jay must
be next to the opponent. V-ism can perform these
moves anywhere by holding back and pressing the
appropriate buttons.
Close Jab: Dee jay will punch with the opposite hand than
he would if he were away from opponent.
Close Strong: No difference from standing strong.
Close Fierce: Dee Jay elbows with one arm then punches with
other for two hits.
Close Short: Dee Jay starts his standing short motion but
finishes with a knee not a kick.
Close Forward: Side kick...reminiscent of Sagat's standing
forward. Good to keep distance. Decent GB
damage.
Close Roundhouse: Dee Jay throws out a kick at the opponents
chin. Similar to Jet Li's kick on Renee
Russo in LW4. Hehe. This is a great
anti air move for v-ism with high priority.

3. Special Moves Analysis
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Modes will be listed along with the move name, motion, and
description.
XVZ Air Slasher Charge b,f + P Dee Jay whips his
hand and releases a projectile.
Quick attack....with small recovery.
XVZ Rolling Sobat Charge b,f + K Dee Jay hops with a
kick, spins and does another. The
short version is only the first kick.
I dont use this move too often for
lack of damage and payback if you
miss with it.
XVZ Machine Gun Upper Charge d,u + P, tap P rapidly Dee
Jay does his fierce animation while
striking multiple times. Ok for an
air counter if you time it properly.
I have yet to get more than 2 hits.
XV Jackknife Maximum Charge d,u + K Dee Jay jumps with a
kick at 45 degrees. Can hit up to
three times with roundhouse, two for
forward, one for short. Good for an
anti-air move. Juggle opportunities.
XZ Sobot Carnival Charge b,f,b,f + K Dee Jay does his
super version of his rolling sobot.
Hits six times with great damage and
juggle opportunities.
Z Climax Beat Charge db,f,b,uf + P The super type
of his machine gun upper. Rather
pointless if you ask me.
Z Theme of Sunrise Charge db,f,b,uf + K The super type
of his jackknife maximum. Hey, if
you are good at pullin off this
motion on a PSX pad...then use it.
Z Zero Counter: Roundhouse Jackknife Maximum.
V Zero Counter: Crouching Forward kick.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Mode Analysis
---------------------------------------------------------------------
See Kao's FAQ for basic ism benefits and detriments.
X-ism - Dee Jay has got strength here, as in damage. A big
plus is his jackknife maximum ability. His Sobot
Carnival is one of the most powerful supers in the
game, which can easily be followed with a roundhouse
jackknife. On the other hand it may be hard to land
it during a match, especially after a GB.
Z-ism - The weaker of the three modes IMO. His lack of the
jackknife maximum is not made up with the addition
of two other supers. Damn I hate that motion! Still,
regular combos do more damage than in V-ism.
V-ism - This just may be my favorite mode. Why? Wait for
the combo section. This is the flashiest mode. He
also has the Jackknife ability not to forget the
close moves at any distance. The close roundhouse is
such a great air counter. Use this often.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Combos
---------------------------------------------------------------------
*Note* all of these combos have been done by me. Following
will be a "possible section" containing combos that I believe
may be possible...I just havent stuck em yet. I tried most of
these combos on different size opponents, but most were done
on larger characters. So if one doesnt work...try fightin
Sagat or Thunder Hawk. These work for all modes unless noted
otherwise.
J - Jumping
C - Crouching
S - Standing
() - other moves that will work
XX - cancel
1. J Fierce (forward), C short XX machine gun upper. 4 hits
2. J fierce (forward), C jab, C short XX Air Slasher. 4 hits
3. Same as above execpt follow slasher with either: C jab,
C short or S Roundhouse or S fierce. 5 - 6 hits
4. Opponent in corner, Dee Jay close. Air Slasher, C jab,
C jab, C Short, Air Slasher, S roundhouse. 6 hits
5. XV J forward (crossup), C short, C jab, C short XX jackknife
maximum. 7 hits
6. XV Dee Jay near back corner. J forward (crossup), C short,
C jab, C short XX jackknife maximum, close fierce. 9 hits
7. XV Dee Jay near back corner. J forward (crossup), C short,
C jab, C short XX jackknife maximum,
jackknife maximum (machine gun upper). 9 hits
8. Z Opponent in corner. C short XX Sobot carnival,
S roundhouse. 8 hits
9. X Dee Jay near back corner. J forward (crossup), C short,
C jab, C short XX jackknife maximum, Sobot Carnival. 10 hits
10. X Opponent in corner. C short XX Sobot Carnival,
jackknife maximum. 9 hits
11. ZX Opponent in corner. C short XX Sobot Carnival,
Machine Gun Upper. 9 hits
12. Z Theme of Sunrise, Machine Gun Upper. 10 hits
Combos that combo into V-ism combos...all opponents must
be in corner to work unless noted otherwise.
jab + short = 1 strong + forward = 2 fierce + roundhouse = 3.
13. J fierce (forward), C jab, C short XX Air Slasher,
activate 1, S jab XX Roundhouse Jackknife maximum XX
short jackknife maximums (repeat these). Opponent can
can tap out, so nail em with a roundhouse version if they
do to pop em back up. Will have to vary for size
differences.
14. Air Slasher, C jab, C jab, C Short, Air Slasher,
activate 1, S jab XX Short Rolling sobot XX machine gun
upper XX short Jackknifes. The Standing jab XX short
sobot gets you back in close to the opponent to start
the juggle.
15. (Definitely the hardest!) Dee Jay near back corner
J forward (crossup), C short, C jab, C short XX
jackknife maximum, activate 1, S jab XX jackknife
maximums. Dee Jay must be almost in the corner for
this to work. After the C short XX jackknife maximum,
the opponent should be falling in the corner.
Activate quickly and nail em with a standing
jab to slow their fall then take em up with more
jackknifes!
Regular V-ism combos....opponents must be in corner to
work unless noted otherwise.
16. activate 1, short jackknife maximum XX short jackknife
maximum (repeat). This does the least amount of hits
but the most damage out of his jackknifes.
17. activate 1, c short XX air slasher XX c short XX air
slasher (repeat). You must do this fast to combo. I
mean really fast. Does excellent damage and great GB
damage too. Someone out there claims to have stuck
C jab, C short, C strong XX air slasher, this would
take tremendous speed, and I dont beleive it is
possible because Dee Jay is pushed back. If anyone
else has stuck it, let me know. For this one to work,
after the first air slasher, walk a step then c short
XX air slasher again. It would look like this:
<-/ c short, -> punch, ->, <-/ c short, -> punch, ->
all within seconds.
18. Similar to 16 but vary with Machine gun uppers.
Possible Section
19. Ok, on the combos with the c. short XX Sobot Carnival
I have yet to jump in with fierce or forward then
go c jab c short sobot carnival.(Damn PSX pads)
20. Im workin on gettin a level 2 Climax beat followed by
a level 1 Theme of sunrise. If anyone gets it please
let me know.
There are many others but thats for another FAQ another time.
