Additionally, he has no reliable ways to setup left rights, and his one means of high low, '''4S''' (The Derrick "Special"), is more of a knowledge check. Furthermore, for all his good movement and projectiles, Derrick's actual normals are mediocre at best.

* ''' | * '''Aerial Maneuverability''' - Derrick's air options are among the best in the game with many options to make up how he moves. These range from '''2S''' stalling him to '''j.2H''' creating a bizarre approach angle. | ||
* '''Projectile Control''' - Derrick unlike most items characters pulls his item, then throws out, lending him a huge amount of control over where and when he uses his items, with multiple completely changing the pace of neutral. Add in his '''5S''' projectile and his neutral control becomes truly powerful. | |||

While 4S has a built in high/low of sorts, this is gimmicky and his only real high/low. His throw leads to no extensions except on specific parts of the screen. Finally, he has trouble setting up any reliable left/rights on oki. | ||

Derrick is Shoto's goofball classmate and DoF's item throw character. Taking advantage of his excellent air movement and projectile game, Derrick sets the pace of a match until he can use his items to create an opening for his offense.
As an item throw character, Derrick naturally possesses an incredible neutral game. Almost all of his items from 2S (Junk Throw) are powerful projectiles. Furthermore, unlike most item throw characters, Derrick draws the item then chooses when and where to throw it, which with some items can allow him to immediately control the neutral state. His 5S (Dust Ball), both held and unheld helps give him the space he needs to draw for the right item. Adding to this is his excellent, with one of the fastest walk speeds in the game, fast dashes, and most importantly, his incredible air game. As well as possessing an amazing air dash, Derrick can mixup his air momentum via j.M, j.H, j.2H, j.2S, j.4S, and j.S/[S]. A mix of these options can make him downright impossible to anti-air and difficult to predict. Once he gets one of his stronger items, he can use it to get in and start running his offense. While limited, Derrick's offense is powerful enough to open up opponents. Items such as Buff Boy, the Hammer, and the Magnet, let him setup downright unfair setplay and 50/50s, all of which lead to full combos. This means that Derrick can range from having the weakest mixups in the game to its most powerful in the blink of an eye, forcing the opponent to stay aware of what item he currently has.
These incredible strengths aren't without flaw. As mentioned, Derrick's mixup is underwhelming when he doesn't have his stronger offensive items. His hit throw is notably worse than normal, with his regular grab only granting a hard knockdown instead of the usual combo (although it can be comboed off in specific situations). Additionally, he has no reliable ways to setup left rights, and his one means of high low, 4S (The Derrick "Special"), is more of a knowledge check. Furthermore, for all his good movement and projectiles, Derrick's actual normals are mediocre at best. Most are lacking in range, and more significantly, tend to have high amounts of recovery, making him easier to whiff punish. Even with these issues though, Derrick's ability to set the pace of the game and be a general nuisance in neutral cannot be understated.

Using his 2S (Junk Toss), Derrick can draw one of 10 different items which vary heavily in effect. There's no variance in how likely he is to draw them, so there's always a 10% chance of Derrick drawing any one item. The items and a brief description of their effects are below. For more details, view the individual item descriptions.
- Baseball: Decently fast and straightforward projectile.
- Buff Boy Plush: Short ranged and slow moving projectile that deals 0 hitstun but gives a combo on block.
- Magnet: Short ranged projectile. Upon landing it generates projectiles above it for a short time.
- Boomerang: Fast projectile that goes in a straight line, comes back to hit a second time.
- Bomb: Moderate speed projectile that deals high damage and launches, explodes on its own after some time.
- Hammer: Slower, high damage projectile. Creates a low hitting shockwave upon hitting the ground.
- Banana: Moderate speed projectile that isn't active until it touches the ground. Causes characters to slip and get launched upon making contact.
- Turtle Shell: Fast projectile that bounces off opponents and the wall. Remains active for a long time and can hit many times.
- Energy Drink: Slow projectile that isn't active until it hits the ground. Characters who make contact with it once its active gain meter.
- Dog Treat: Fast projectile with low damage and hitstun. Upon reaching the ground, it loses its hitbox and after some time a dog that can hit the opponent runs across the screen.
