Introduction

Daimon is a classic big-body grappler, with plenty of scary mixups up close and some good normals to fight with in neutral. His pokes are large with some good hitboxes on them, and his anti-air game is also strong. He's also got a fast fullscreen unblockable that hits standing opponents that he can use to deal with fireballs. Up close, Daimon has access to a 1f command grab, a invincible command grab, an overhead, a low, and some strong pokes to pressure with. Daimon also has access to a command roll that lets him quickly get in for a mixup at shorter ranges. Daimon's main weaknesses are his big size and his lack of an invincible reversal.

Changes from Previous Versions

98 to 98UM

Normals:

  • f+A now hits overhead, but its damage was lowered from 25 to 18 points
  • GCCD has increased recovery
  • st.B has reduced priority, the hurtbox is now in front of the hitbox
  • st.C has reduced priority
  • st.D has reduced priority
  • j.C has reduced priority
  • df+C's first hitbox has reduced priority

Specials:

  • dp+A's startup has been reduced from 28 frames to 20 frames
  • dp+A OTG bug has been removed
  • hcb,f+K comes out faster and has a shorter back-turning motion

98UM to 98UMFE

Normals:

  • df+C's first hit now has its original hitbox back.

Specials:

  • hcb,f+K's throw hitbox comes out faster

Supers:

  • hcfx2+K super flash activates after the counter move connects, has more recovery on whiff, and has damage adjusted so that the third hit does the most damage

Normal Moves

Close

  • cl.A: Good for stopping hops if you were too close for st.A. Whiffs on short crouchers. Chainable and cancelable.
  • cl.B: Decent for stopping hops or jump-outs, but it's too slow to be very useful. Whiffs on short crouchers. Cancelable.
  • cl.C: One of Daimon's main heavy combo buttons. It comes out fast and can be inputted as hcb+C to buffer a combo into his command grabs. Cancelable.
  • cl.D: Another one of his good heavy combo buttons. Hits higher up than cl.C, so it can catch jump-outs too. Cancelable.

Standing

  • st.A: Good anti-hop button. Whiffs on short crouchers.
  • st.B: Decent longer-range standing low that can be used to set up his qcb+K mixups. Cancelable.
  • st.C: Long-range poke. Occupies a lot of space in front of Daimon. Has a lot of active frames. Whiffs on short crouchers.
  • st.D: Good preemptive anti-air, but has very little priority now, so it can trade easily. Whiffs on short crouchers.

Crouching

  • cr.A: Decent for blockstrings or to chain into from cl.A. Cancelable.
  • cr.B: A low. You can link a hcb,f+P after it for a combo.
  • cr.C: A slow button that's not cancelable, making it pretty bad and not very useful.
  • cr.D: A good sweep. Cancelable.

Jumping

  • j.A: A good jump-in normal with a lot of active frames, making it a very consistent option. It's also his fastest air normal, so it's good for air-to-airs when you need to prioritize speed.
  • j.B: Has a crazy amount of active frames, making it a good air-to-air and jump-in. Can crossup.
  • j.C: An okay crossup button.
  • j.D: His best jump-in for damage.

CD Normals

  • st.CD: Slow startup, but has a nice hitbox in front of Daimon. Cancelable on hit, block, and whiff.
  • j.CD: His best air-to-air normal when it comes to priority, but it has pretty slow startup.

Throws

Drag-Down Slam: f/b+C (very close)

  • Hold throw, not techable. Can be mashed for more damage. Daimon grabs the opponent in a chokehold and chokes them a couple of times. Causes a hard knockdown.

Crucifixion Press: f/b+C

  • Regular throw, techable. Daimon picks the opponent up and slams them to the ground, causing the to slide on the ground. Causes a hard knockdown.

Sliding Foot Takedown:f/b+D

  • Regular throw, techable. Daimon picks up the opponent and then sweeps their leg away while throwing them behind him. Causes a soft knockdown.

Command Moves

Ball Basher: f+A

  • An overhead with fairly long range. Loses the overhead property when cancelled into.
  • Good for mixups, especially when late-cancelling into it.
  • Causes a hard knockdown on hit.

Cranium Cruncher: df+C

  • A good anti-air normal with a nice hitbox diagonally above Daimon.
  • Can also work as a close-range poke.
  • Can be cancelled into for combos and blockstrings.
  • On counterhit, you can juggle after it.

Special Moves

Minelayer: dp+A/C

  • Daimon pounds the ground so hard that it sends an instant shockwave fullscreen, causing standing opponents to fall down.
  • A version does the ground pound, which is a full screen attack that hits standing opponents. As it is not really a physical attack, it does not do any blockstun to crouching or airborne opponents.
  • C version is a feint you can use to make people jump at you so that you can anti-air them.
  • Great to use against fireball users, as they can't crouch while throwing a fireball and the pound recovers fast enough for Daimon to block the fireball if it still came out.
  • Can also be used as a surprise fullscreen low attack if the opponent likes poking a lot.

Super Ukemi: qcb+B/D

  • Daimon does a roll forwards.
  • B version only has a little bit of startup invincibility. D version is slower but has more invincibility.
  • Cannot/should not be used like a normal roll; instead, the idea is that you cancel pokes into it to quickly approach from neutral and set up Daimon's grab mixups.
  • Gets beaten out by mashing, so you may need to condition the opponent to not mash beforehand with frametraps.

Cloud Tosser: hcf+A

  • Daimon reaches up into the air and grabs, if he hits the opponent he slams them down to the ground.
  • A hitgrab, not an anti-air command grab.

Super Ohsotogari: dp+B/D (close)

  • Daimon does a leg sweep on the opponent.
  • A slow command grab with invincibility on startup.
  • Good to beat people trying to mash at close range.
  • A core part of his close-range mixup game, as it will beat people trying to mash out from his hcb,f+P.

Earth Mover: hcb,f+A/C (close)

  • Daimon throws the opponent into the air and lets them fall to the ground.
  • A 1-frame command grab.
  • The core of Daimon's mixups, combos, and close-range punishes.

  • Can be useful to tick throw into from some stuff, like a st.B, but is mostly too risky to use much.

Desperation Moves

Heaven-to-Hell Drop: hcbx2+A/C (close)
