Overview

Bedman? is an unorthodox fighter using its specials to set up automatic special moves, via error 6E, after a short period of time. Along with its 8-way air dash, Bedman can be a tricky character to fight as and against.

Bedman has 3 specials that it primarily shifts between for different screen positions and combines them to create powerful offense and neutral gameplan, given that it doesn't block or get hit. The powerful followups to Bedman's special moves are removed if it blocks, so you must play in an evasive way or risk losing your automatic tools.

Bedman's offense and neutral are both pushed over the top once an automatic special move is queued up which allows for long block strings, mixups, and offense form further ranges. call 4BA allows for gaps between normals and automatic specials to play, as well as controlling space in neutral. call 4B3 is a consistent combo ender and OTG tool to set up an explosive error 6E follow-up. call 4B9 (Malfunction) allows for plus frames and the most powerful error 6E special in pressure with a Guard Crush attached to both parts. Enhance Bedman's offense with call 13C to turn Bedman's strong follow-ups into devastating ones.

Despite Bedman's powerful offense when set up, it takes the use of a special to become powerful, meaning that without an error 6E follow-up, Bedman must rely on metered options to continue pressure, go for higher risk options, or opt to end its offense to stay safe.

Bedman is an unorthodox character for players who want to run a game plan of controlling or navigating neutral until they are prepared then smothering the competition.

Bedman?

Bedman? is an aggressive character with unique pressure via automatically activated attacks.
Pick if you like	Avoid if you dislike
Complex and tricky pressure, with a variety of high/lows and frametraps that are easy to chain together. Projectiles and disjoints that can threaten a significant area. A unique movement option that gives you access to mixups and safe disengagement from pressure. Playing characters that have little sidekicks, whose extra animations confuse opponents and distract from possible mixups.	Generally weak defense, with buttons on the slower side and only a metered reversal. Labbing combos and pressure routes that have to account for automatic follow-up attacks. Occasional inability to convert off your best pokes at long range. Playing characters that are literally furniture, whose large size opens them up to easier punish opportunities.

Unique Mechanic: error 6E

After performing 236P, 236S and 236H Bedman enters the "error 6E" state, and will perform an automatic followup attack after a 3-second delay. Each of the aforementioned specials produce a different follow-up attack that closely mimics their original properities.

In addition, 214P will bypass the delay and instantly perform the attack, while 214K will reset the timing to 3 seconds.

The Error 6E state is removed after being hit or blocking an attack.

When an error 6E move has already started coming out, then blocking will not make it disappear, only getting hit will. During , even getting hit will not stop the projectiles once they are out.

8-Way Air Dash

Bedman cannot double jump, and has an 8-way air dash instead of the normal horizontal air dash. This can be performed by holding the dash button with any direction or inputting the same direction in the air twice with the direction held being chosen for movement. If the button is not held Bedman will float in the air briefly before falling to the ground.

This specific air dash can also be performed during a super jump.
There is a minimum time requirement of 12f in the mandatory hover state before Bedman can airdash.

Uncharged Dust

Universal overhead attack that's pretty fast. It can gatling from 5KGuardAllStartup8Recovery14Advantage-7, 2KGuardLowStartup6Recovery10Advantage-2, or c.SGuardAllStartup7Recovery10Advantage+1 for an unsafe mix-up that can be made safe on block or converted into a full combo on hit by using Roman Cancel or error 6E follow ups if timed well.

Charged Dust

Holding any upwards direction during the hitstop of Charged Dust will perform a Homing Jump:
- Performing a Homing Jump puts the opponent into a unique high damaging air combo state and will cause an Area Shift afterwards, resetting character positions to neutral at slightly farther than round start distance.
- Pressing any attack twice in a row without jump/dash canceling will perform a unique Finishing Blow attack, causing a hard knockdown and leaving Bedman at +23 instead of neutral (+-0).

Similar to uncharged Dust but is slow enough for opponents to reliably react to. On raw hit, it results in a very high damage Homing Jump combo. Charged Dust is primarily used for juggling during combos to add damage after a Red Roman Cancel launch or Counter Hit c.S, but can also be used for simple punishes on extremely unsafe moves.

error 6E goes away during homing.

Also good for keeping the opponent blocking when waiting for error 6E to activate, but be sure to change the cancel timing when expecting a reversal or abare attempt.

Bedman's best grounded poke.

2D has the same range as 2S and f.S, but because those two aforementioned buttons never combo into 2H at further ranges, 2D can be used as a solid, long reaching poke that always gives reward on hit. It either can give them hard knockdown or a confirm into 236SGuardAllStartup14Recovery24Advantage-12 at all ranges.

Unlike 2S and f.S, Bedman does not have access to gatlings from this move, so it's always a commitment when used in pressure.

2D > 214K is -8 on block, saving 2 frames of recovery.

On-Hit value is for attacker's IAD height, except for Potemkin and Nagoriyuki, who have their instant Air Throw height instead.
Frame advantage decreases as height increases (+53 to +56).
Builds 1000 Tension once all damage is dealt.
On hit, applies an increased 25 Combo Decay.
Properties change if Roman Canceled before all damage is dealt:
- Reduces positive R.I.S.C. by 25% before applying R.I.S.C. Loss, similar to regular strikes.
- R.I.S.C. Loss: 1000
- Proration: Forced 75%
- Combo Decay on hit: 15

Bedman turns into a drill (somehow) and advances forward with a fast, multi-hitting spin attack.

Generally your preferred combo ender in cases where it's impossible to land 236HGuardAll (Guard Crush)Startup24~38Recovery23Advantage+3 (a.k.a. most cases), in air-to-air situations where he's too high up to continue the combo on landing, and when mashing 2P on defense. While not a hard knockdown, the resulting knockdown is advantageous enough to let Bedman continue pressuring the opponent with the move's impending error 6E followup.

Bedman cannot do anything after the air version until it hits the ground.
Serves as a passable neutral skip/approach tool with Roman Cancel, but otherwise the enormous recovery makes it a death sentence on block or whiff.
Can be used after a grab due to it hitting off the ground, which adds some damage and stocks an error while still leaving Bedman at advantage.

Fully Charged call 4B9

Total: 98

A slow, chargeable, short-ranged swing with Bedman's broken arm that causes an explosion. Probably the most versatile of Bedman's main three special moves.

This move mainly sees use as a pressure tool and blockstring ender as it inflicts Guard Crush on block, putting Bedman at significant frame advantage and dealing a nice bit of chip damage. This gives Bedman very powerful pressure in the corner, and allows it to perform up long block sequences that can quickly drain an opponent's health through chip, siphon their meter should they FD, and crank their RISC to high heaven, provided you're willing to dump some resources.

Malfunction's uses are not just limited to on-block situations, either, as it is also a powerful combo tool. Its generous vertical launch and high damage give Bedman access to some of its strongest combos in the corner, and it makes for a great combo ender due to its knockdown. It can even be used as a Wall Break ender due to its single-hit damage, espcially when charged.

Speaking of which, holding the H input will "charge" the move, delaying the explosion while greatly enhancing its damage, launch height, and blockstun. At full charge, Malfunction nearly does as much damage as a super, and leaves Bedman at a whopping +19 on block. While setting this up is very difficult, the payoff tends to speak for itself.

Note that its slow startup and extended hurtbox can make it vulnerable to counter-pokes in neutral.

Launches on hit, allowing for a combo if close enough, also causes a Hard Knockdown on landing.
Can be charged, which enhances the properties on hit and on block.

Bedman's head pops off and explodes shortly after.

Like Malfunction, this Guard Crushes on block and launches on hit, albeit without that move's poor frame data. This gives Bedman access to some of its strongest mixups, blockstrings, and combos, especially when paired with Roman Cancels.

Resets the timer on Bedman's currently stocked error 6E attack to 3 seconds.

A situational option that lets Bedman vary the timing of its error pressure. Because of how easy it can be to lose a stocked error, and because using another special move will change/reset the error, holding onto one for longer is rarely that useful. As a result, this move is mostly used to stall in the air and reduce the recovery of slower normals.

Will briefly halt all momentum when used, allowing Bedman to briefly stall in the air.
Has a shorter animation than 214PGuard-Startup-RecoveryTotal 30Advantage-, so it can be used to reduce the long recovery of certain moves, such as 2H, 2D, and 6H. The full cancel data is available here.

An Install A move, usually a super, which changes the properties of the character themself, usually for the better. super in which Bedman becomes supercharged with some sort of sinister energy and gains various power-ups for a limited time.

During call 13C, Bedman gets a 10% damage buff to all of its moves and a 10% defense buff from damage. More importantly, all error 6E follow-ups gain enhanced properties on both hit and block, trigger a Wall Break if the opponent is near the Wall, grant a Hard Knockdown on Area Shift, and are unburstable, similar to Overdrives. Finally, Bedman's 6E projectiles no longer disappear when Bedman is hit.

The low total duration of call 13C's install animation leaves Bedman fairly advantageous on block after 5H and 6H, which allows for its activation during pressure sequences. It can also be used in combos as a pseudo-Roman Cancel, which allows links such as 5H > call 13C > c.S in the corner for great damage.

The biggest drawback of call 13C is its very punishing Tension Penalty duration, which locks Bedman out of gaining Tension for almost 8 seconds (460F). However, this drawback can be mitigated by triggering a Wall Break and getting Positive Bonus A special state in Strive that automatically generates tension, reduces meter penalty, as well as other buffs when a player breaks the wall. shortly after activating call 13C, preferably with one of the Error 6E follow-ups, for both knockdown pressure and meter gain.
