Overview
Overview

 Goldlewis Dickinson  Goldlewis Dickinson , classified as a Power type.

Pros
Cons
  • High Damage: Goldlewis' coffin is not just for show. All of his attacks involving it are guaranteed to deal a lot of damage from the get-go, which only gets better with his surprisingly good combo and conversion potential. As if that wasn't enough, all of Behemoth Typhoon's versions and Skyfish excel at dealing reasonable amounts of chip damage.
  • Large Health Pool: With a good defense modifier and guts rating, Goldlewis can take more hits and use his life bar as a resource.
  • Excellent Pressure: Goldlewis has a high amount of plus frames at his disposal, along with Guard Crush pressure and mixups from Behemoth Typhoon. Even if he doesn't hit you, each version of Behemoth Typhoon deals high chip damage. His low jump also complements his ability to keep opponents blocking.
  • Setplay Tools: Thunderbird and Burn It down let Goldlewis easily continue pressure from most if not all his knockdowns. Having Security Levels stocked makes his setplay even stronger.
  • Many Knockdowns: Almost anything Goldlewis throws out, including full combos, can be converted into a hard knockdown, allowing him to establish either his powerful okizeme or setplay depending on the range and advantage.
  • High Tension: When he finally gets in, Goldlewis's tension gain is incredible because of Behemoth Typhoon, allowing him to continue his pressure for extended periods of time, or convert into a devastating combo or option select.
  • Abysmal Neutral: Goldlewis's array of tools to call out approaches falters considering he has no tools to establish his own. His pokes are either incredibly slow, stubby, easily low profiled, or a combination of the three. This is made worse with the slowness and counterhit recovery of Thunderbird and Skyfish, making even fullscreen options risky.
  • Not so Absolute Defense: Goldlewis has a number of weaker than average defensive options, with a short range 6f 2P, a slow backdash, longer jump startup, and no double jump. Pick your risks wisely even if you can take some wrong choices.
  • Slow Movement: Goldlewis has no double jump, and his ground run is painfully slow. This, paired with his stubby and slow normals, makes it especially hard for him to deal with zoning.
  • Punishing Execution: Dropping a combo or pressure can often result in Goldlewis being incredibly minus or resetting to neutral with large frame disadvantage.

GGST Goldlewis Dickinson Security Gauge.png
Goldlewis' Security Level increases passively over time. As Security Level increases, Goldlewis' S special moves (Thunderbird and Skyfish) and Burn It down gain three separate versions that correspond with his current Security Level. Using 214S, 236S, or 236236K causes the meter to be reset to 1. The gauge fills quickly from Level 1 to 2, but fills slowly from Level 2 to 3.

  • Does not chain into itself, but is plus enough to link into 2P on hit.
  • Does not blockstring into 63214H, but combos on hit.
  • Whiffs on most crouching characters and standing Giovanna.

Excellent pressure move thanks to it actually being plus. Quite lacking in terms of defense due to its 7-frame startup. 5P > c.S will beat any button 4 frames or slower and catch jump backs, making it also a great place to sneak in a High Behemoth Typhoon or a throw.

  • Decent tick throw spot but requires a microdash.
  • Jump cancelable on hit/block, great for pressure resets.
  • Jump cancel can make some Behemoth Typhoon cancels difficult.

Basic punish and non-P or K pressure starter. Delay gatlings can discourage opponents from mashing, which opens up tick throw attemps or more Behemoth Typhoon shenanigans. Interestingly, this can be used as a crouch confirm from P buttons, giving Goldlewis either oki or high damage.

  • Prime frame trap normal, beats throws and jumps when immediately cancelled from c.S. From f.S, jumps are not caught
  • Can be slightly delayed from c.S to catch 6f BDs while still catching jumps and reversal mash, but loses to throws
  • Surprisingly safe on block at -2.
  • Combos into 41236H on counterhit for huge damage in the corner.
  • Excellent meaty. Combos into all Behemoth Typhoons on CH and, if spaced correctly, clashes with all DPs except for Leo's.

Use this normal to force respect of your S buttons. It also has some uses after throwing an opponent into the corner, as it nets some extra damage and still gives a Thunderbird setup.

  • Data in [] represents values when fully charged.
  • Causes floating crumple on uncharged, ground hit, delaying a follow-up will force stand.
  • Deals more damage when fully charged, launches opponent on hit if combo'd into.
  • Homing Jump cancelable on raw hit when fully charged, Homing Jump sequence forces an Area Shift.
  • 80% proration if not fully charged.
  • Will frame trap after c.S, although requires meter to convert into a combo

One whole frame faster than 89632H, making it Goldlewis' fastest overhead. Sadly it does not come with that move's frame advantage.

  • Does not chain into itself, but is plus enough to link into itself on hit.
  • Plus on block.
  • Goldlewis' fastest button.

Doesn't whiff on crouching opponents and is a little faster than 5P at the cost of some range. Like 5P, can frametrap into c.S up close, making it useful for also sneaking in Behemoth Typhoons or throws. Loses to any characters 6P, so don't go to crazy mashing this on block

  • Coffin is entirely disjointed.

Slower than f.S, but stops low slides, has slightly more reach, and is disjointed in return. Since it doesn't send the opponent away on aerial hit like f.S this is also an important normal for combos when you can't get c.S.

69874HS and 63214HS will whiff when connecting this move at tip range, making it a worse poke than you'd think.

Note on Behemoth Typhoon

This move has 8 different versions, all sharing the same name. Each corresponds to a different half-circle plus the HS button, including some very unconventional motions. Because of this, all half-circles have been abbreviated to only the cardinal directions in numpad notation. For example, 63214H becomes 624H and so on.

For hitbox players: It has been reported that a max of 1 of the 3 intermediate motions of Behemoth Typhoon can be skipped (with the first and last being "mandatory"). Most likely, one of the diagonals.[1]

Reading startup and active frames

Each version of Behemoth Typhoon starts up on frame 12 but not every version typically makes contact with the opponent at the beginning of its startup. Many versions have a kind of auto-meaty behavior in a sense that they'll usually make contact somewhere in the middle of their active frames as opposed to the first frame. Behemoth Typhoon is active throughout the whole swing animation and the active frames are grouped into 7 sets. 3 sets at the beginning of the swing, 2 spread across the middle point, and a final 2 at the end of the swing. You can use these active frame sets to get a rough idea of how meaty a BT is hitting depending on where it connects in its swing. Just add up all the active frame sets before the set you believe is connecting and add that to the startup and frame advantage

  • Long range overhead.
  • Leads to a combo on late connect.
  • Midscreen counterhit converter
  • Can be used to set up F-shiki Sometimes known as "Fuzzy Overhead". When you are in blockstun, you can switch high/low blocking, but your blocking animation and hurtbox does not change until you leave blockstun or block another attack. F-Shikis take advantage of this and use overheads that would miss on crouching characters, but not on standing characters. with bar when blocked

  • After inputting you can move on frame 43 however the bomb doesn't have a hitbox until frame 57
  • Affected by Security Level. More levels = more travel distance and lockdown.
  • Setplay tool, multiple hits even at Level 1.
  • Thunderbird itself will block projectiles for you as long as it's out.

Fantastic and easy-to-use setplay tool. Persists as long as Goldlewis isn't actually hit, allowing him to run in behind it with relative safety. Easily set up after 2D, throw (and OTG 5H), or corner combos ending in 69874H.

  • Affected by Security Level. More levels = more bullets.
  • Decent chip damage on block.
  • Easily cancels out other projectiles.
  • Will eat your opponent's tension bar if they FD to avoid the chip damage.

Terrible wallbreak move as each projectile is counted separately and deals very low damage. Mostly useful as an anti-zoning tool, but too slow to use on reaction.

  • Data in [] represents values on Clean Hit.
  • Can be input with up to three circles.
  • More circles before P increases the damage and startup
  • Opponent will break the wall after being launched.
  • Your only reversal
  • A zoom on Goldlewis means you did 720P, while the zoom + glasses break means you did 1080P.

Increases in damage, range, and launch distance with each version at the expense of also increasing in startup. Fully invincible during startup for all versions

  • Affected by Security Level. More levels = more lockdown.
  • Tracks and vacuums opponents towards Goldlewis after a short delay.
  • 13+79 startup before first hit however Goldlewis can move post super freeze after 27 frames. (13+27)

Setplay super. Better than Thunderbird in some cases due to the vacuum and the laser visually obscuring what he does. Usable in any place you would use Thunderbird, but comes with the added benefit of no travel time.
