Dee Jay is a characters generally considered to be on the lower end of the tier list in Ultra Street Fighter IV. Despite various tweaks across numerous patches, he’s still nowhere near the characters that typically win tournaments.

But that doesn’t mean Dee Jay isn’t capable of doing impressive things in the right hands. In his latest combo video, Ricardo Roman demonstrates some practical and damaging combos from the Jamaican street fighter for use both mid-screen and in the corner. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U catches plenty of flack for the speed at which its matches unfold. At their slowest, these matches look something like the top 8 bout between Dabuz and Abadango at APEX earlier this year. That particular set included one round that ran to the final countdown and two more going to Sudden Death–a nearly 25 minute set altogether.

Bringing this up isn’t meant as a dig at the level of play that took place during that match, but more at the nature of that particular matchup. A character as projectile-heavy as Pac-Man fighting someone who can absorb them like Rosalina & Luma is bound to be a drawn out battle, and is certainly not for the faint of heart.

But that doesn’t mean that every round that takes place in the most recent Smash has to go to time, or even last more than a couple of minutes. Below, we’ve included a video of a recent Captain Falcon ditto played between Team SoloMid’s ZeRo and False, showing just how fast the game can move under the right circumstances.

Captain Falcon already adds an undeniable degree of speed to any match that he joins, but when he’s on both the giving and receiving end of his down-air spikes and forward-air sweet spots, an entire best-of-three set can be over in the blink of an eye.
