Bad (?) Balance: USF4 Dee Jay

14:04 - Special move recap ends
It might still be good to watch the special move recap cuz I go over bad things about each of the specials.
I'm not putting music in the background, I hate choosing songs and adjusting the volume and I don't wanna catch a random copyright strike. If you want music then put on your own jams in another tab.
• USFIV: Dee Jay Balance... Link to his patch notes video from Ultra.

The SF6 dev team did such a good job retooling DeeJay. Learning that Machine Gun Upper and Sobat Kick were charge moves is so baffling when they work so well as motion moves in 6. And the feints from his fireball, upkicks, sobat, and sway actually tie in the idea that he’s a tricky character that wants to learn the opponents rhythm to find openings. Coming back to this character before 6 might as well be an entirely different character.

Honestly doesnt feel like he should be a charge character lol

As someone who doesn't even play Street Fighter games, I absolutely adore your analytical style of content. It's in-depth, well researched and structured, and extremely informative. Definitely deserving of more subscribers, for sure.

[@1Diddums]

Dee Jay's greatest strength, is his incredible voice.

[@JaimeAGB-pt4xl]

I made the horrible decision to use Deejay over Guile because I wanted to "rush down" a bit more and not be so lame with Guile in a game already so defensive.... This video gave me a whole bunch of dreadful flashbacks :(

Bad Balance: Chun Li in 3rd Strike (Too good)

[@__-be1gk]

I will never understand what kind of drug fuelled idiocy made them make a character based on dancing a charge character

[@RisingJericho]

You know your character is well-balanced when you react to a jump-in and still lose the exchange

[@ZeludeRose]

i had no idea the usf4 devs were a new team but now everything makes sense

[@feri7mble]

A low tier character that was treated strangely by the balance patches... I'd say the SF5 counterpart is Nash.

[@ouka6686]

DeeJay does have one good quality; he has almost the same tools as Guile and M. Bison, but at the same time.

[@denshitenshi]

That's incredible. They can't just give him one true buff. I've never heard of a situation like that. A dev team in such denial that a character is low-tier, but aware enough to fix his glaring flaws for a price.

[@TheRadBaron]

this is actually maybe my favorite video of yours so far. it so perfectly explains something i've been trying to articulate for years. dee jay is a fascinating character. he's like akuma in that very few situations are outside of his comfort zone, but somehow even when he's never really playing from the back foot, he can never get anything going. he is a rare character who has no way to capitalize on his own advantage situations

[@gabelincoln5129]

I think Deejay is a great example of a type of bad balance that isn't talked about as often. Devs having no real idea about what they actually want to do with a character.

"Jamaican me mad with these nerfs"

[@varxe7]

The 'make some characters OP or bad on purpose because it's more fun to watch' balance decisions of SF4 and MVC3 were infuriating

[@meikastudios]

My biggest frustration is that D.J is strong as hell in the mobile version of Street Fighter 4 !!!

[@meikastudios]

D.J was a beast before the street fighter 4 era.

[@akoboldskobold]

As an outsider, SF4 Dee Jay seems like a rekka character without a rekka

[@dreinstar2352]

Don’t care, still main him because he is incredibly based
