|content=Bedman is a tricky and versatile character who thrives when he can engage his opponent on his own terms with backup from his unique Deja-Vu mechanic. Whenever Bedman does a special move he leaves a seal on the stage which can be used to create shadowy duplicates that mimic the special move that created them. These can be used for zoning or lockdown with terrifying effectiveness but can be destroyed by his opponent's attacks.
|content= Bedman is a tricky and versatile character who thrives when he can engage his opponent on his own terms with backup from his unique [[{{PAGENAME}}#Déjà Vu|Déjà Vu]] mechanic. Whenever Bedman does a special move, he leaves a ''Seal'' on the stage which can be used to create shadowy "Replay" duplicates that mimic the special move that created them. These can be used for zoning, pressure, okizeme, or lockdown with terrifying effectiveness, though those Seals can be destroyed by his opponent's attacks.


His variety of movement options, solid normals and boomerang-style projectile gives Bedman the ability to play evasive until he can set up Deja-Vu and take control of the match, but if he's caught off guard his defensive options are limited. Even when he's on offense, without backup from Deja-Vu his rushdown is much less dangerous. Overall, he's a character that wants to frustrate his opponents until he can find an opening to exploit.
His variety of unique movement options, solid reach on his normals and boomerang-style projectile gives Bedman the ability to play evasive until he can set up Seals and take control of the match, but if he's caught off guard his defensive options are very hit or miss. Even when he's on offense, without backup from Deja-Vu his pressure is much less dangerous and he deals little damage. Overall, he's a character that wants to frustrate his opponents until he can find an opening to exploit, pushing them into the corner where he can enforce deadly pressure and mix-ups.
 
{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses
| intro = {{Character Label|GGXRD-R2|Bedman|24px}} specialises in frustrating his opponents into making mistakes, complemented by his unique seal-based offense that can be used for both okizeme and neutral situations.
| pros =
* '''Extreme Air Mobility:''' Possesses both a unique 8-way airdash and a guard point teleport dash that can make it difficult to predict his movements.
* '''Strong Oki:''' Powerful okizeme that can be looped in the corner.
* '''Mix Ups:''' Strong mix-up game and good pressure with seals.
* '''Instant Overhead:''' Has access to an instant overhead in {{clr|5|j.D}} that leads to both high damage and a knockdown for 50 tension.
* '''Conditional Zoner:''' Strong zoning options when properly set-up.
* '''Walking Speed (no, really):''' Best walk speed in the game complemented by decent ground pokes.
* '''Throws:''' Has a rewarding throw game that is complemented by his fast walk speed.
| cons =
* '''Terrible Defense:''' Very bad defense. His {{clr|1|6P}} is unreliable and his Dead Angle Attack is the worst in the game, his reversal super can be thrown out of, and his counter-teleport dash is not instant.
* '''Lacking Neutral:''' Limited neutral and pressure if he cannot get Deja Vu seals out.
* '''Air Movement:''' Air movement is not fast.
* '''Bad Ground Mobility Options:''' Limited mobility on the ground, can't move as fast as others.
* '''Huge Body:''' Large and wide hurtbox.
* '''Initially Bad Damage:''' Weak damage until properly set-up.
* '''Weak Frame Data:''' All of his normals are either 0 ore minus on block. Bedman gets most of his "good" frame data from his seals.

*'''Walking Speed (no, really):''' Best walk speed in the game complemented by decent ground pokes and his high reward throw.
| defense = x0.98
*'''Damage:''' Has access to incredibly high damage and corner carry from 50/50 situations, often at the cost of 25% or less Tension. DVC mix-ups easily do 40% health if optimized and end in a Task C knockdown, allowing for high damage, loopable set-play; especially with Tension on hand for safety.

| weight = [96] Heavy
*'''Tricky ≠ Fast:''' Hover lacks a traditional airdash's instantaneity, which can make it tough for him to escape pressure or quickly adjust spacing. He also doesn't have a run, though this weakness is partially mitigated by his excellent walk speed.  
| stunres = 60
*'''Inconsistent Defence:''' Bedman's {{clr|1|6P}} is an unreliable anti-air that hits high up, his Dead Angle is absurdly punishable but fast, his reversal super is painfully slow and throwable but very plus, his guardpoint dash is not active until frame 3 but yields incredible positional reward, and he has 0 guts.
| prejump = 3f
*'''Two-Step Gameplan:''' Without Deja Vu Seals, Bedman's zoning and pressure are both significantly weaker, with little reward and no frame advantage behind any of his attacks.
| backdash = 23f (invulnerable f1~>11)
*'''Huge Body:''' Large and wide hurtbox. Especially tall while crouching which allows opponents to hit him with attacks that normally would whiff on other characters.
| wakeup = 24f Face up, 30f Face down
*'''Damage:''' High damage combos are very character specific, and in rounds where Bedman can't find ways to get them he often does below average damage whilst giving the opponent a lot of Burst with his multi-hit attacks.

Bedman has a unique dash which operates as a guard-point parry. This dash cannot be canceled normally throughout its duration, unlike normal dashes, but does act as a counter against blockable attacks. On success, he teleports behind the opponent, allowing him to punish many moves in neutral. During the parry's active frames however, Bedman is able to cancel the dash with a jump, allowing for parry attempts while cutting the dash short. See the [https://youtu.be/oFgbJby9h5A Video guide on using Bedman's Dash by GcYoshi13]

In neutral, while it can stuff approaches with its long active frames and notable disjoint, its high recovery makes it a much riskier option that other normals. In pressure, {{clr|H|5H}} is solid for punishing backdashes due to the far reach and long active frames. Bedman can importantly jump cancel the second hit on grounded opponents into {{clr|5|j.D}} for an instant overhead, with the opponent being unable to Blitz or {{keyword|DP}} unless they IB the {{clr|H|5H}}2. Jumping FDing can bait these options however.
<div class="attack-info">
 
{| class="wikitable attack-data"
An additional niche use for {{clr|H|5H}} is that the second hit has a hitbox behind Bedman, which proves useful against characters that tend to cross up frequently (Slayer in particular).

Bedman's only standing overhead. Slow and telegraphed, Instant {{clr|5|j.D}} is much faster for mixup purposes.
 
What {{clr|5|5D}} offers is how it can lead to very powerful set-play in the corner. A midscreen hit offers very good corner carry, but low damage.
 
While it's safe on block, it should still be used infrequently to surprise cornered opponents, as they can react to the start-up and counter-poke out or escape pressure.

===<big>{{clr|1|6P}}</big>===
{{GGXRD-R2 Move Card
|input=6P
|description=
Anti-air that hits fairly far above Bedman. Unfortunately, the "man" hitbox gains a big hurtbox from its 3rd active frame onwards, making this move prone to trades when used on reaction.
 
On hit, if the opponent is deep enough, Bedman can combo into {{clr|S|c.S}} > Task C. Going straight into Task C is generally more reliable, but depending on character and height they might be able to tech in the middle of Task C and punish Bedman.
 
Unlike most {{clr|P|6P}}s, Bedman's can't really be used as a grounded counter-poke due to his hurtbox during the move.
 
*Has a lot of untech on counter-hit, allowing good conversions into air Task B on trade as long as the trade doesn't knock Bedman down.

===<big>{{clr|4|6H}}</big>===
{{GGXRD-R2 Move Card
|input=6H,6HH|versioned=input
|description=
Primarily used as offensive pressure/frametrap option, RISC cranking normal, and combo tool.
 
The gatlings into {{clr|H|6H}} from {{clr|2|5K}} and {{clr|1|6P}} create a 4f frame-trap that can catch mashing. Both hits are special cancelable, allowing Bedman to create some damaging combos as well as overwhelming pressure. {{clr|H|6H}} can generally only be combo'd into from a counter hit however.  
 
Bedman can make use of {{clr|H|6H}} special cancels by replaying Déjà Vus after either hit - {{MMC|input=214S|label=Task B Déjà Vu}} is a very strong option after this. He can also {{MMC|input=236P|label=Task A}}, but this can be called out by an advancing jump or advancing {{keyword|low profile}} moves (like Ky's {{MMC|chara=Ky Kiske|input=236K|label=Stun Dipper}}, Elphelt's {{MMC|chara=Elphelt Valentine|input=2H|label={{clr|4|2H}}}}, Sin's {{MMC|chara=Sin Kiske|input=236K|label=Elk Hunt}}, Chipp's {{MMC|chara=Chipp Zanuff|input=236P|label=Alpha Blade}}, etc).
 
*Combos from Counter Hit {{clr|2|5K}} and {{clr|1|6P}}.
*Combos into Task B on either hit. On air hit, the cancel can be delayed to prevent teching.
----
;{{clr|H|6HH}}
Useful for pushing the opponent across the screen on block, which is notably strong when Bedman is cornered as it allows him to push himself out. The 3rd hit is cancelable, but the 4th is not.
 
When blocked, will return Bedman to neutral as it is +0 and puts the opponent at half screen distance. Should the opponent be contesting cancel options from either hit of {{clr|4|6H}}, Bedman can simply consider not cancelling at all and letting the full {{clr|H|6HH}} play out as the safest option.
 
On hit, {{clr|H|6HH}} causes the opponent to go flying about 3/4 screen into a knockdown, giving ample time to throw out a Task A/A' and start offense all over again.
 
*If the whole sequence is juggling an airborne opponent, they can be picked up with {{MMC|input=236H|label=Task C}} or a delayed Task B for a knockdown.

While it has identical start up to {{clr|S|2S}}, it can be a stronger poke option due to having better reach and double the active frames. It does recover 4 frames slower however, so it can be risky against faster characters.

*Pretty much a button dedicated to returning to neutral as it has +0 frame advantage and puts you and the opponent at half screen distance on block.
*On hit it causes them to go flying about 3/4 screen into a knockdown, giving you ample time to throw out a Task A/A' and start your offense all over again.
*Consider this option if all your cancel options after the first two hits of {{clr|4|6H}} might be too easy to deal with for your opponent. Doing the full {{clr|4|6H}} sequence is safer than doing the first two.

Also referred to as "boomerang" or "head". A slow but annoying projectile that hits twice, once on the way forward and once on the way back.
Task A is a critical part of Bedman's zoning gameplan in many matchups. On the way back, the projectile tracks Bedman's position, allowing him to manipulate its return route. Once the opponent is conditioned to be scared of Task A, Bedman can make use of the return attack of the projectile to airdash at the opponent and go for a high/low mixup.
The ground version of Task A will generally fly directly forward and up, while airborne Task A will fly at a downwards angle towards the ground, making it useful to hit crouching opponents that grounded Task A otherwise whiffs on. When performed as an {{keyword|IAS}} / {{keyword|TK}}, Task A will travel horizontally along the ground, allowing it to beat out {{keyword|low profile}} moves that otherwise beat grounded Task A.

*A slow but annoying projectile that hits twice, once on the way forward and once on the way back
*On the way back, the projectile tracks Bedman's position, allowing you to manipulate it's return route.
*Grounded Task A goes generally straight, but air Task A will fly at a downwards angle, making it useful to hit crouching opponents that the grounded Task A otherwise whiffs on.
*The ball disappears/returns to Bedman if Bedman is hit or if he's put into blockstun. It also disappears preemptively if it hits on the way back.
*To successfully place a Task A seal with this move, Bedman has to finish the attack without being hit or Roman Canceling with the seal appearing at his current location.

On hit or block, Task A' will cancel whatever Bedman is currently doing (unless it's an overdrive) and teleport him to where the ball made contact with the opponent. If the ball hit the opponent from behind, Bedman will appear behind the opponent. For Okizeme, TK Task A' should be used on seal knockdowns as standing Task A' may whiff on some crouching characters.

For Air Task C, there are two variants. One performed closer to the ground, and one done high in the air.

The high version activates around the peak of Bedman's superjump.

Outside of combos, Air Task C can be used as a tricky option to get in on opponents beneath Bedman, as it can be tricky to anti air in some matchups. If they are prepared to challenge it, he can go for Task C YRC to attempt to bait and beat their punish options.

GGXRD_Bedman_DejaVu.png |This is where things get confusing
Commonly abbreviated as DVA / DVA´ / DVB / DVC for combo notations. All of Bedman's special moves place an seal on the stage that allows him to "replay" the same special move from that position, creating a phantom of himself to do the corresponding attack. The seals can be attacked by the opponent, which will eliminate the seal immediately.  
GGXRD_Bedman_DejaVu2.png |Four different seals are possible, based on the four special moves that Bedman has.
 
</gallery>
Setting up seals for Déjà Vu is critical to Bedman's gameplan as the start-up of Déjà Vu is much faster than the corresponding special, deals more damage, and Bedman is free to act while they are replaying. When using Déjà Vu, Bedman poses for 30F and the replayed phantoms' attacks start 6F after Bedman initiates the replay. YRC Déjà Vu Works very well for meaty and oki setups, as it still summons the phantom and allows Bedman to act even earlier. It can be YRCed immediately or delayed significantly without becoming a PRC.

A fantastic okizeme tool that covers a huge amount of vertical space and is oppressive for corner pressure. Unlike the regular version, Déjà Vu Task C is not an overhead and thus can be blocked both high and low.
 
Despite not being an overhead itself, its high active frames and wide hitbox almost guarantees a high/low mixup situation for Bedman against a cornered opponent. Because of the rising and descending motion of DVC, jumping out from it is nearly impossible. If the opponent gets hit by DVC, Bedman can simply combo into Task C and reset the situation all over again.
 
DVC is also useful in neutral once Bedman is able to securely place a seal for it as it covers a lot of space. Do note that some characters can run under the rising part of the move, making it more risky against them.

Forward dash guard points allow Bedman to parry virtually anything. Projectiles, normals, and even overdrives. Bedman will still be vulnerable to throws, command throws, and unblockables (Like Potemkin's {{MMC|chara=Potemkin|input=236S|label=Slide Head}} shockwave). Due to its fast start-up it can also be used as a pseudo reversal in the middle of loose blockstrings to escape oppressive situations, which is very effective once you create gaps with Instant Block or Faultless Defense. This becomes especially obnoxious to deal with when Bedman OSes a jump in the latter couple active frames, allowing for low risk-high reward escapes.

Bedman's only real reversal option, hampered by short horizontal range and slow start-up - though it is very plus on block.
The regular version is '''NOT''' throw invincible. The Burst version is, but it's a hefty price to pay for a still-slow reversal. Bedman can be thrown out of this easily if done too close to an opponent. {{MMC|chara=Potemkin|input=632146P|2|label=Do not ''ever'' use this against Potemkin.}} Outside of throwing, the opponent can usually YRC their actions to block in time on reaction to the super flash. Hard to whiff punish due to the size of the expanded hitbox however.
Wallsplats in the corner, which means it can be used in corner combos for good damage ({{clr|5|5D}}, etc.).  This is usually combo'd into from {{clr|4|5H}}'s 2nd hit, {{clr|4|1H}}, close-up hits of {{clr|H|6H}}, or the high air version of Task C.  When hitting midscreen, Bedman can get a short juggle combo.

Bedman summons an unblockable black sheep that slowly advances towards the opponent's position.

This move is generally too weak to be worth the meter cost; it leaves Bedman open, it puts the opponent too far away to land an IK quickly enough, and it has very little reward on hit compared to Bedman's other uses of meter. You could potentially find ways to use it in okizeme setups, but there's still no real reason to use this over other metered options.

Revision as of 07:14, 24 February 2024

Overview

Overview

Bedman is a tricky and versatile character who thrives when he can engage his opponent on his own terms with backup from his unique Déjà Vu mechanic. Whenever Bedman does a special move, he leaves a Seal on the stage which can be used to create shadowy "Replay" duplicates that mimic the special move that created them. These can be used for zoning, pressure, okizeme, or lockdown with terrifying effectiveness, though those Seals can be destroyed by his opponent's attacks.

His variety of unique movement options, solid reach on his normals and boomerang-style projectile gives Bedman the ability to play evasive until he can set up Seals and take control of the match, but if he's caught off guard his defensive options are very hit or miss. Even when he's on offense, without backup from Deja-Vu his pressure is much less dangerous and he deals little damage. Overall, he's a character that wants to frustrate his opponents until he can find an opening to exploit, pushing them into the corner where he can enforce deadly pressure and mix-ups.

 Bedman specializes in frustrating his opponents into making mistakes, complemented by his unique seal-based offense that can be used for both okizeme and neutral situations.

Pros
Cons
  • Extremely Tricky Mobility: Possesses both a unique 8-way airdash and a guard point teleport dash that can make it difficult to predict his movements and pin Bedman down.
  • Strong Okizeme: Powerful okizeme that can be looped in the corner.
  • Mix-ups: Strong free-form mix-up game with his 8-way dash, tick-throws and an Instant Overhead, alongside good pressure with Seals.
  • Conditional Zoner: Strong zoning options when properly set-up with Seals and Tension.
  • Walking Speed (no, really): Best walk speed in the game complemented by decent ground pokes and his high reward throw.
  • Damage: Has access to incredibly high damage and corner carry from 50/50 situations, often at the cost of 25% or less Tension. DVC mix-ups easily do 40% health if optimized and end in a Task C knockdown, allowing for high damage, loopable set-play; especially with Tension on hand for safety.
  • Tricky ≠ Fast: Hover lacks a traditional airdash's instantaneity, which can make it tough for him to escape pressure or quickly adjust spacing. He also doesn't have a run, though this weakness is partially mitigated by his excellent walk speed.
  • Inconsistent Defence: Bedman's 6P is an unreliable anti-air that hits high up, his Dead Angle is absurdly punishable but fast, his reversal super is painfully slow and throwable but very plus, his guardpoint dash is not active until frame 3 but yields incredible positional reward, and he has 0 guts.
  • Two-Step Gameplan: Without Deja Vu Seals, Bedman's zoning and pressure are both significantly weaker, with little reward and no frame advantage behind any of his attacks.
  • Huge Body: Large and wide hurtbox. Especially tall while crouching which allows opponents to hit him with attacks that normally would whiff on other characters.
  • Damage: High damage combos are very character specific, and in rounds where Bedman can't find ways to get them he often does below average damage whilst giving the opponent a lot of Burst with his multi-hit attacks.

Unique Mechanics

Bedman has a unique dash which operates as a guard-point parry. This dash cannot be canceled normally throughout its duration, unlike normal dashes, but does act as a counter against blockable attacks. On success, he teleports behind the opponent, allowing him to punish many moves in neutral. During the parry's active frames however, Bedman is able to cancel the dash with a jump, allowing for parry attempts while cutting the dash short. See the Video guide on using Bedman's Dash by GcYoshi13
Bedman has unique air properties. Bedman cannot double jump, and has an 8-way air dash instead of the normal horizontal air dash. Bedman can also perform a hover which makes him float in place above the ground so long as he is above the minimum height. For more details, see the video guide by GCYoshi13.

5-13 Lower body
14-16 Below Knees

A very important normal in Bedman's kit because of how varied the possible actions following this move are. Also used as a quick poke/check against low attacks like sweeps or 2Ks, attacking over them while they whiff. Can avoid Potemkin's Slide Head as well. 5K is also a good frame trap if delayed cancelled after 2P.

  • On normal hit, can combo into c.S/f.S, 5H, and 2D
  • On counter hit, can combo into 6H.

28 Mid 6 3 11 ±0

Fast start-up and has a tall and far hitbox. One of Bedman's best normals for pressure, punishing, and combos.

c.S is one of his few normals that combo into both hits of 5H if done point blank, making it a premium starter. Can be used for quick pressure resets or resetting to neutral using its jump cancelable property as well.

36 Mid 9 2 19 -7

A versatile far poke with good speed for its reach. Primarily used as a starting route for pressure.

On hit, it doesn't typically lead to much but it can be useful to get guaranteed punishes in some situations. As a round start option, it will beat many opposing pokes. Slightly higher damage than most of Bedman's other moves.

  • Jump Cancelable for juggles off of corner throw.
  • On counter hit or crouching opponents, Bedman can combo into 2H.

28×2 Mid 12 3(3)3 18 -4

A slow but active button mostly used in blockstrings and combos.

In neutral, while it can stuff approaches with its long active frames and notable disjoint, its high recovery makes it a much riskier option that other normals. In pressure, 5H is solid for punishing backdashes due to the far reach and long active frames. Bedman can importantly jump cancel the second hit on grounded opponents into j.D for an instant overhead, with the opponent being unable to Blitz or DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion. unless they IB the 5H2. Jumping FDing can bait these options however.

An additional niche use for 5H is that the second hit has a hitbox behind Bedman, which proves useful against characters that tend to cross up frequently (Slayer in particular).

  • 2nd hit vacuums grounded opponents in at close ranges. This is important for Bedman's longer combos.
  • Depending on how far it hits, you want to either combo into Task BGGXRD Bedman TaskB.pngGuardAllStartup12Recovery26Advantage-13 or 2D.
  • Both hits are special cancelable. but only the second hit is jump cancelable.

32 Mid 9 6 21 -13 1-4 Upper Body
5-8 Head

Anti-air that hits fairly far above Bedman. Unfortunately, the "man" hitbox gains a big hurtbox from its 3rd active frame onwards, making this move prone to trades when used on reaction.

On hit, if the opponent is deep enough, Bedman can combo into c.S > Task C. Going straight into Task C is generally more reliable, but depending on character and height they might be able to tech in the middle of Task C and punish Bedman.

Unlike most 6Ps, Bedman's can't really be used as a grounded counter-poke due to his hurtbox during the move.

  • Has a lot of untech on counter-hit, allowing good conversions into air Task B on trade as long as the trade doesn't knock Bedman down.

6HH 18,24 Mid 10 3(11)5 14 ±0

Primarily used as offensive pressure/frametrap option, RISC cranking normal, and combo tool.

The gatlings into 6H from 5K and 6P create a 4f frame-trap that can catch mashing. Both hits are special cancelable, allowing Bedman to create some damaging combos as well as overwhelming pressure. 6H can generally only be combo'd into from a counter hit however.

Bedman can make use of 6H special cancels by replaying Déjà Vus after either hit - Task B Déjà VuGGXRD Bedman TaskB.pngGuardAllStartup23RecoveryTotal 30Advantage+28 is a very strong option after this. He can also Task AGGXRD Bedman TaskA.pngGuardAllStartup18RecoveryTotal 49Advantage-5, but this can be called out by an advancing jump or advancing low profile When a character's hurtbox is entirely beneath an opponent's attack.

  • Combos from Counter Hit 5K and 6P.
  • Combos into Task B on either hit. On air hit, the cancel can be delayed to prevent teching.

6HH

Useful for pushing the opponent across the screen on block, which is notably strong when Bedman is cornered as it allows him to push himself out. The 3rd hit is cancelable, but the 4th is not.

When blocked, will return Bedman to neutral as it is +0 and puts the opponent at half screen distance. Should the opponent be contesting cancel options from either hit of 6H, Bedman can simply consider not cancelling at all and letting the full 6HH play out as the safest option.

On hit, 6HH causes the opponent to go flying about 3/4 screen into a knockdown, giving ample time to throw out a Task A/A' and start offense all over again.

  • If the whole sequence is juggling an airborne opponent, they can be picked up with Task CGGXRD Bedman TaskC.pngGuardAll, High / Air, AllStartup11Recovery13Advantage-2 or a delayed Task B for a knockdown.

  • Combo into 2K, 2D for a knockdown.
  • Against Zato specifically, can whiff on Eddie if Eddie is not using an attack. 2K is a more reliable answer.

A long range low poke. Very useful to play footsies with since it hits so far and is even on block with its fast recovery.

2S also sees special use as it's the closest thing Bedman has to a low profile attack. Bedman can use the low hurtbox on the forwards part of 2S to avoid many air attacks counterattack against high hitting moves.

Due to 2S having no lingering hurtbox on recovery, Bedman can meaty with it from far away with little risk of being hit by an invincible reversal when timed well.

  • Can combo into both hits of 5H, but only at close range.
  • Can combo into 2H on crouching or counter hit.

1H 45 Mid 15 14 25 -20
2H 40 Mid 15 14 29 -24
3H 35 Mid 19 14 33 -28

Bedman does not have a traditional 2H like most of the cast. There are 3 variations of this attack; 1H will always come out next to Bedman. 2H will come out at the half way point between Bedman and the edge of screen he's facing. 3H will come out at the far end of the screen, but it has a limit of one character's width away from the very end of the screen if Bedman is full screen away.

  • Bedman can gatling normals into any of 1H/2H/3H though generally only 1H has practical application this way.
  • Each version is special cancelable and jump cancelable on block or hit. It's a good way to get a Task A on the screen.
  • Very punishable on whiff. Bedman is in Counter Hit state during recovery, so it's important to have meter to YRC if it whiffs.
  • Can be YRC'd during start-up or active, giving more than enough time to YRC it on whiff.

1H

Launches on normal hit and combos into Task C for good damage and knockdown oki. Almost strictly used for combos and blockstrings.

A lot of Bedman's strongest combos involve hitting both hits of 5H and comboing into this move.


2H/3H

Both are long range pokes that are slow but can catch the opponent by surprise. The pegs that come up do not have hurtboxes but are still physical attacks. This means they can be Blitzed and Bedman will be rejected, and they can be countered by AxlGGXRD Axl HeavenCanWait.pngGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 34Advantage+60 from any range.

2H is more suited for pressure strings to catch opponents trying to jump out or land in that spot, whereas 3H is more suited for attacking opponents far away who are attempting to zone or set up something full-screen.

  • Both launch on counter hit and airborne hit.
  • On counter hit, they can be confirmed into good combos into Task C from nearly anywhere on the screen.
  • Excellent enders in blockstrings due to Level 4 blockstun, range and being jump cancelable.

28 Low 12 6 12 -4

A slow sweep with good range. Used to secure an easy knockdown from a variety of normals and as an occasional poke.

While it has identical start up to 2S, it can be a stronger poke option due to having better reach and double the active frames. It does recover 4 frames slower however, so it can be risky against faster characters.

Combos into Task B and still secures a knockdown. If done far away, Task B will hit OTG, allowing the opponent air tech. Make sure to space the confirm properly!

14 High / Air 6 6 9

Bedman's fastest and most reliable air-to-air move. Has good reach for its speed and little recovery.

Cancels into itself, even on whiff. Bedman can rapid fire this normal in the air regardless if it makes contact with the opponent or not, making it a very safe defensive option. As his fastest air normal, j.P also sees use as an overhead in jump cancel and hover pressure.

28 High / Air 10 8 22

Bedman's farthest reaching air normal. This is the most important and versatile air normals in his arsenal.

j.S is very strong in combination with his 8-way dash to control real estate on the screen. For example, doing a downwards airdash makes it a great spacing tool as a vertical "wall", whereas doing a forward airdash has Bedman fly in with a far reaching attack that makes use of its many active frames. It is also a solid air to air on its own due to its range.

  • One of Bedman's best air moves to go for after an air tech.
  • Some characters like Venom can low profile it completely by using 6P, use j.K in those situations instead.

14×6 High / Air 13 12 24

Used as an overhead for pressure and mix-ups. Sees very little use in neutral.

j.H hits a total of 6 times, and all of them are overhead. It becomes very tricky to block when Bedman is getting close to the ground since he can hit less than 6 times and quickly go for 2K when he lands. Aside from hitting overhead, it's also a useful move to whiff intentionally when going for empty air dash into low attacks as the start-up animation can confuse the opponent into blocking high.

Bedman can also FD in mid-air after a forwards Hover dash and still have j.H hit. Depending on the timing, it can hit anywhere from 1-4 times, making the following 2K even harder to block correctly.

While it's not a great air-to-air move, it can have some niche application due to its multi-hit nature and long active frames.

Instant overhead on the entire cast when done immediately after a jump. Very important part of Bedman's mix-up game.

Bedman can convert into a combo only if he has Déjà Vu assistance, Red Roman Cancels it, or if j.D is a counter hit. On CH, Bedman can air dash downwards j.K-j.P to combo. j.D can also be used in some air combos to knock opponents down if they aren't too high up in the air (around slightly shorter than super jump height)

  • The momentum after j.D can be altered if Bedman holds forward, backwards, or neutral after he connects with j.D

0,10×10,0 Ground Throw: 75250 1 +64

Bedman's throw range is decent, but his fast walk speed is what makes his throws a major threat.

Midscreen throws give Bedman good corner carry and plenty of time to set up a mixup or a seal for neutral or okizeme. Terrifyingly effective in the corner, as Bedman can meterlessly combo using f.S or 5K. Corner combos usually net ~100ish damage + 1-2 Déjà Vu seals.

  • Can RRC midscreen for a combo.
  • Can do jump back > low Task B to approach while setting up a DVB Seal.

Bedman's Dead Angle uses his 5K animation.

Because of Bedman's lack of defensive options, this is one of the main ways to get an opponent off of him. Horrendous on block or whiff, so make sure it will land when used. Horizontal range is good and it's harder to low profile than most other Dead Angle Attacks (it even goes over lows AFTER its actual invincible frames), although it's also slightly easier to go over it.

  • At 8 frames, this is the second fastest Dead Angle in the game; which is its strongest aspect.

Also referred to as "boomerang" or "head". A slow but annoying projectile that hits twice, once on the way forward and once on the way back.

Task A is a critical part of Bedman's zoning gameplan in many matchups. On the way back, the projectile tracks Bedman's position, allowing him to manipulate its return route. Once the opponent is conditioned to be scared of Task A, Bedman can make use of the return attack of the projectile to airdash at the opponent and go for a high/low mixup.

The ground version of Task A will generally fly directly forward and up, while airborne Task A will fly at a downwards angle towards the ground, making it useful to hit crouching opponents that grounded Task A otherwise whiffs on. When performed as an IAS Instant Air Special

Also referred to as "teleport boomerang" or "Task A Prime". Works like Task A, except the start-up is much slower. Used as a tricky projectile and setup component rather than a neutral option, but can serve as a bit of a knowledge check.

On hit or block, Task A' will cancel whatever Bedman is currently doing (unless it's an overdrive) and teleport him to where the ball made contact with the opponent. If the ball hit the opponent from behind, Bedman will appear behind the opponent. For Okizeme, TK Task A' should be used on seal knockdowns as standing Task A' may whiff on some crouching characters.

On hit, c.S, 2K, or 2P reliably convert into combos. On block, Bedman has significant frame advantage so he can either safely push them out with 2P or go for a mixup.

Also referred to as "spin" or "Beyblade." A good combo ender that secures a knockdown. Easy to combo into from a variety of hit confirms, especially on the ground.

When done high enough in the air combos, the opponent will be able to tech out before Bedman can get a knockdown out of it, however. Outside of combos, it can be used as a movement option via Air Task B YRC, which retains a lot of momentum ("slingshotting" Bedman forward) so it's a great way to get out of corners once sufficient altitude has been gained.

  • Bedman recovers a slight distance away from the opponent, also in the corner.
  • To successfully place a Task B seal, Bedman has to finish the attackThis attack is considered when the recovery of Task B ends without being hit or Roman Cancelling, with the Seal appearing at the end of the spin.

Also referred to as "bed slam." One of Bedman's typical combo enders, especially in the air. Does good damage and secures a knockdown.

Both versions have a very wide crossup hitbox but need to RRC to combo from it.


Grounded Task C

Bedman rises into the air while spinning and slams down, with the second part hitting overhead. If done close to the opponent, the falling portion will cross them up.

  • To successfully place a grounded Task C seal with this move, Bedman has to finish the attack without being hit, with the seal appearing upon landing. It's possible to RC after landing, and still generate a seal.

Air Task C

Bedman will skip the first "rising" portion of the move, and immediately perform the falling ground slam.

For Air Task C, there are two variants. One performed closer to the ground, and one done high in the air. The low height version will provide a simple knockdown on hit and is 0 on block, while the high version has a large shockwave that ground bounces into a combo on hit, and is +3 on block. The high version activates around the peak of Bedman's superjump.

Outside of combos, Air Task C can be used as a tricky option to get in on opponents beneath Bedman, as it can be tricky to anti air in some matchups. If they are prepared to challenge it, he can go for Task C YRC to attempt to bait and beat their punish options.

  • [ ] Indicates high in air
  • To place an aerial Task C seal, Bedman has to start the falling descent before YRC'ing for the seal to be generated.

Commonly abbreviated as DVA / DVA´ / DVB / DVC for combo notations. All of Bedman's special moves place an seal on the stage that allows him to "replay" the same special move from that position, creating a phantom of himself to do the corresponding attack. The seals can be attacked by the opponent, which will eliminate the seal immediately.

Setting up seals for Déjà Vu is critical to Bedman's gameplan as the start-up of Déjà Vu is much faster than the corresponding special, deals more damage, and Bedman is free to act while they are replaying. When using Déjà Vu, Bedman poses for 30F and the replayed phantoms' attacks start 6F after Bedman initiates the replay. YRC Déjà Vu Works very well for meaty and oki setups, as it still summons the phantom and allows Bedman to act even earlier. It can be YRCed immediately or delayed significantly without becoming a PRC.

  • Each seal lasts for 421F normally.
  • On use of any Déjà Vu, the seal enters a cooldown where it disappears and can't be activated again until it reappears.
    • If Bedman is hit while a Déjà Vu is active, the replay will be immediately halted and the seal will be destroyed, requiring Bedman to set it up again.
    • If the seal is on cooldown it can not be hit.
  • Déjà-vu phantoms always auto-correct towards the opponent, even if the attack that created the seal was facing the other direction.
  • Bedman can not Déjà Vu a Task B or Task C if either seal is being used, or is on cooldown. He can however, combine DVB or DVC with DVA and DVA'.

Task A/DVA (214P)

Task A Déjà Vu allows Bedman to have more freedom of movement while controlling the screen with a highly active projectile.

DVA's return trajectory tracks back to to the seal from where it originated from instead of Bedman's position, which allows for setups like meterless combos from a j.D if timed well.

  • Only one Task A can be active on the screen at a time. Bedman cannot throw a Task A while a DVA is active onscreen and vice versa.
  • If the Task A that spawned the seal was done in the air, the Déjà Vu version will follow the same ground sweeping pattern.
  • Just like the normal version, if Bedman is put into hit- or blockstun while the Déjà Vu version is active, the attack will immediately halt. Unlike getting hit however, if it disappears because Bedman blocks something, the seal will reappear shortly after the DVA head despawns.

The same setup can be used to fake the overhead and go for a quick low as well.

  • If the Task A' that spawned the seal was done in the air, the Déjà Vu version will follow the same ground sweeping pattern.
  • Doesn't track Bedman's position on return. Instead, the Déjà Vu version will return to the seal from where it originated.
  • Unlike the normal version, if Bedman is put into blockstun at the beginning of DVA' generating, the attack will not disappear, making this extremely useful for extended pressure or resets, but only if Bedman blocks early after using the Déjà Vu. If he blocks later, it disappears.

Déjà Vu Task B is the fastest Déjà Vu replay. It hits 4 times and has a large hitbox. Very effective for space control, harassment and lockdown. On top of that, it has the shortest cooldown of all his Déjà Vu attacks, allowing Bedman to have oppressive corner pressure.

Task C/DVC (214H)

A fantastic okizeme tool that covers a huge amount of vertical space and is oppressive for corner pressure. Unlike the regular version, Déjà Vu Task C is not an overhead and thus can be blocked both high and low.

Despite not being an overhead itself, its high active frames and wide hitbox almost guarantees a high/low mixup situation for Bedman against a cornered opponent. Because of the rising and descending motion of DVC, jumping out from it is nearly impossible. If the opponent gets hit by DVC, Bedman can simply combo into Task C and reset the situation all over again.

DVC is also useful in neutral once Bedman is able to securely place a seal for it as it covers a lot of space. Do note that some characters can run under the rising part of the move, making it more risky against them.

  • Attack continues even if Bedman is put in blockstun.

Hover Total 45
Hover > Direction Total 25

Bedman lacks a traditional air-dash, what he has instead is a "Hover" state from which he can dash in any of 8 directions. This is one of the most important parts about playing Bedman. Learn it, and learn it well.

Pressing 7/8/9 while airborne will put Bedman in the Hover state. He must be in this state in order to initiate a hoverdashex. Input 8 then 2 for a downward air dash or 87 for an up+back airdash, etc).

  • Bedman has a minimum hover height from the ground. He can never initiate an empty Hover if he's not high enough, but cancelling a normal into airdash directly bypasses this restriction.
  • Superjumping lets him reach hover-height a few frames faster.
  • Bedman can not air-throw after he has hovered in the air, only before.

Airdash Properties

After dashing in a direction, Bedman goes in a straight line in the chosen direction with fixed movement speed before he starts slowing down and starts falling.

For example, doing superjump into hover then going down (28~8 > 2) will have Bedman start descending fast at first, then descending slower. If he goes from hover to dashing forward he will float forward horizontally for some frames before "normal" falling slowly to the ground at an angle.

Using an attack or FD-blocking after initiating an airdash will cancel it and make Bedman fall faster or keep momentum at different angles.

When Bedman connects with j.P, j.K, or j.S and he hasn't air dashed yet, the attack can be directly cancelled into his air movement without needing to tap 8 first. Just press the next direction you wish to air dash towards quickly after the normal connects. j.H is therefore commonly used to fast fall as a mixup between doing 8~8 > 3 j.K or 8~8 > 3 j.H land 2K because of it's slow start-up, making Bedman fall to the ground before the attack activates.

  • Knowing how and when to control his air-movement like this is key to high level Bedman play as it allows him to get full combos off CH 2H/3H, perform mix-ups, safejumps and have general air control.

Bedman has the fastest walking speed in the game.

Bedman can also crawl forward and backwards with 3 and 1 respectively.

  • While he moves significantly slower while crawling, he gains tension as quickly as his normal walk.
  • It is noteworthy that switching back and forth between walking and crawling forwards (3 > 6 > 3 > 6) generates Tension at a very fast rate.

Forward Dash

Bedman's forward dash has full guard points on frames 3 to 14, functioning as a parry.

On successful parry, Bedman will teleport behind the opponent. He is fully invincible during the teleportation and can't be punished afterwards (he can block meaties or backdash after teleporting). Bedman can YRC to cancel the teleport's start-up and punish the guarded attack, similar to Potemkin HammerfallGGXRD Potemkin HammerFall.pngGuardMidStartup18[31]Recovery33Advantage-16 and Raven StanceGGXRD-R Raven GiveItToMeHERE.pngGuard-Startup-RecoveryTotal 29Advantage- YRCs.

Forward dash guard points allow Bedman to parry virtually anything. Projectiles, normals, and even overdrives. Bedman will still be vulnerable to throws, command throws, and unblockables (Like Potemkin's Slide HeadGGXRD Potemkin SlideHead.pngGuardLow[Unblockable]Startup25[29]RecoveryTotal 54Advantage-11 shockwave). Due to its fast start-up it can also be used as a pseudo reversal in the middle of loose blockstrings to escape oppressive situations, which is very effective once you create gaps with Instant Block or Faultless Defense. This becomes especially obnoxious to deal with when Bedman OSes a jump in the latter couple active frames, allowing for low risk-high reward escapes.

  • The parry is especially effective against slow or stationary projectiles, for example Zato's drillsGGXRD Zato InviteHell.pngGuardLowStartup18RecoveryTotal 44Advantage0 or Potemkin's flickGGXRD Potemkin FDB.pngGuardMidStartup19Recovery12Advantage+2.
  • Forward dash can be jump cancelled during the guard point frames. This does not extend the guard point frames as Bedman is vulnerable during prejump frames.
    • This cancel can be used to do his j.D instant overhead from further ranges.
    • Like Slayer's famous backdash cancels, the prejump frames can be cancelled by doing a special, keeping Bedman on the ground.

Bedman's only real reversal option, hampered by short horizontal range and slow start-up - though it is very plus on block.

The regular version is NOT throw invincible. The Burst version is, but it's a hefty price to pay for a still-slow reversal. Bedman can be thrown out of this easily if done too close to an opponent. Do not ever use this against Potemkin.GGXRD Potemkin PotemkinBuster.pngGuardGround Throw: 308000Startup3RecoveryTotal 40Advantage+62 Outside of throwing, the opponent can usually YRC their actions to block in time on reaction to the super flash. Hard to whiff punish due to the size of the expanded hitbox however.

Wallsplats in the corner, which means it can be used in corner combos for good damage (5D, etc.). This is usually combo'd into from 5H's 2nd hit, 1H, close-up hits of 6H, or the high air version of Task C. When hitting midscreen, Bedman can get a short juggle combo.

  • The hits are considered as projectiles so Jack-O's Aegis FieldGGXRD-R JackO AegisField.pngGuardStartupRecovery12Advantage- will completely nullify it.

Hemi Jack is an unorthodox super that rarely sees practical use. A candidate for the worst Overdrive in the game.

Bedman summons an unblockable black sheep that slowly advances towards the opponent's position. After deployment, it reappears above and behind the opponent after a few seconds and begins moving towards them. On hit, the opponent is instantly stunned and Bedman is teleported in the air front of them. It will not hit grounded opponents.

This move is generally too weak to be worth the meter cost; it leaves Bedman open, it puts the opponent too far away to land an IK quickly enough, and it has very little reward on hit compared to Bedman's other uses of meter. You could potentially find ways to use it in okizeme setups, but there's still no real reason to use this over other metered options.

  • Inflicts a meter penalty upon usage
  • The sheep disappears if Bedman is hit, but remains if he blocks.
  • The sheep itself can be attacked and it takes 3 hits to be dispelled.
  • It will disappear if it does not hit the opponent after approximately 9 seconds.
  • If combo'd into, Hemi Jack may not stun as its stun damage scales with the combo.

Uses the animation of Bedman's SIGN/Rev1 6H, but does not teleport like the old 6H traditionally did. Not great range all around.

With access to Gold IK, there will be a lot of methods to land this with the use of Déjà Vu combos, 5D, and Sinusoidal Helios.

Comboing into IK from Hemi Jack's dizzy is 99% of the time NOT an option, since it takes too long to enter Instant Kill mode, and places Bedman too far away from the opponent to use it before they mash out of dizzy state. With access to full tension in IK conditions, using Roman Cancel Déjà Vus or Blitz Shield is usually better.
