Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II/Titanic Tim

Titanic Tim
Titan The Great

Introduction

The bigger they are, the harder they hit!

A giant friendly doof hailing from Wigan, England, Tim was notably huge even as far back as elementary school, standing 6'3" after graduating. He enters the ring to fully utilize his gigantism, and have fun while doing so.

Titanic Tim is a big body character that has a dynamic playstyle based on his advantage in a given match; in mid-to-fullscreen neutral, Tim has the tools to wall out opponents and play defensively. After he gets his opponent in the corner, he transforms into a mix-up vortex machine with his high and low hitting normals, and easy confirms into knockdowns because of Ultra Round / Tsunami.

Unfortunately, Titanic Tim struggles if he himself is in the corner because of his large hurtboxes, mediocre frame-data and complete lack of a useful invincible reversal. If you're looking for a momentum-heavy, mix-up machine character that's also something of a big body bruiser, Tim might be up your alley.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Overheads: Titanic Tim is the only character in the game to have grounded overhead normals, in f.5LP / c.5HP / f.5HP - f.5LP, being both chainable and fast, grants Tim access to powerful consistent high/low vortex. Speen: Tsunami is a fantastic, very versatile special; with lightning fast start-up while boasting a very large hitbox and low profile hurtbox. It makes up a very large part of Tim's gameplan, so get used to hearing "ULTRA ROOOUND!" Anti-Flying-Wrestler: Titanic Tim has quite a few anti-air options available to him (f.5LP, c.5HP, f.5HP, 2369P); some better than others, some trading frequently, but all rather useful. Big Boy Man Boy: Titanic Tim has higher defense and stun resistance than most of the roster, allowing him to survive more abuse and giving him another chance in pressure situations.

Titanic: Titanic Tim is the largest character in the entire game when standing, and the 2nd largest when crouching, while also being generally sluggish due to a slow run and floaty jump; this can make approaching very challenging, and some match-ups polarizing. Lacking Defense: Despite Tsunami having incredible speed, it isn't a fool-proof reversal nor invincible, getting cleanly beaten by meaties. Tim is also cursed with having his invincible reversal be 2147K, which always fails to hit targets point-blank. No Fullscreen Presence: Due to Tim's underwhelming run-jump normals, jump and general speed, as well as having no projectile, his fullscreen presence is non-existent and is forced to either wall-out opponents with his pokes and anti-airs or try desperately to close the gap to start his corner dominance.

Attributes

Prejump: 5 frames(?), 2 frames out of run(?)

Jump length: TBA

Standing*1	Crouching	Taunt*2
Titanic Tim standing	Titanic Tim crouching.	Taunt Length: 37 frames

• 1: Tim is the largest character in the game while standing, including stand blocking, as stated in Pros/Cons
• 2: Taunt not only keeps Tim's full standing hurtbox (actually makes him 3 pixels taller than normal standing), but also makes him wider on his upper half; this can get you tragically sniped and subsequently stunned by fast, long run jump moves, so make absolutely sure you are safe when you taunt.

Normal Moves

Far Standing Normals

5LP

Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? 6 8 4 H - - C, R Tim does an overhead chop. The only jab in the entire game that hits overhead, but to compensate is slightly slower than most, making it a weak mash option. Tim's best anti-air for opponents directly above. Tim can combo into Tsunami directly from f.5LP, but only if you chain a second f.5LP and then kara-cancel it into Tsunami; f.5LP itself cannot special cancel. The input for this looks more like [f.5LP-LP>LP+HP]. Alternatively, if you're close enough, you can just chain into 2LK xx Tsunami instead.

5HP

Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? 6 9 8 H - - R Tim does a slower, heavier overhead chop. Has 3 different hitboxes. Much fatter anti-air but it being slower than f.5LP makes it unpreferable for stopping opponents directly above Tim. Best option for stuffing run-jumps but prone to trades, and flat-out loses to moves like Biff's 66j.HK, in which case 2HP can be a better option. This move is notably much easier to connect with than f.5LP, and can be chained into after a sequence like c.5LK>2LK for a good mix-up; however, it nets far less reward than f.5LP due to no possible route into Tsunami or knockdown.

5LK	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? 6 1 12 HL - - S, R Tim sticks out his foot to kick. Only a single active frame and very bad recovery for a kick. Pretty bad button overall, and usually isn't preferred over 2LK, f.5LP or f.5HP for pokes at this range.

5HK	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? 10 8 12 HL - - - Tim waits a small moment before sticking out his foot to kick. 4 Frames slower than f.5LK but has a much larger hitbox. If you're going to use either one of Tim's kicks for poking, try this one.

Near Standing Normals

n.5LP	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? 5 6 13 HL - - S, C, R Tim's fastest standing grounded normal at 5F start-up Tim swats out in front of him. Has two hitboxes, mostly used as combo filler. Unsafe on hit when not chained, so make sure to buffer another c.5LP or chain into 2LK xx Tsunami.

n.5HP

Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? 6 8 9 H - - R Tim swings his fist over his head to bonk the opponent. Hits overhead, and can be linked after with 2LK. Has 3 different hitboxes and may look like an impeccable anti-air at first glance, but the move is unfortunately too slow combined with the very small proximity range to use it as such; if you attempt to use it, you'll get f.5HP most of the time anyway, and if you're in the range for this to trigger you are most likely going to get trade hit.

n.5LK	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? 6 5 9 L - - S, C, R Tim swings his leg to perform a low kick. Standing low, and extremely vital to Tim's corner vortex game.

n.5HK	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? 10 8 10 - - - - Tim knees at the opponent's midriff. If anyone who plays Titanic Tim has ever used this button for anything, please add a description here.

Crouching Normals

2LP	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - S, R Quick slap directly in front of Tim.

2HP	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - Tim does a slower slap in front of him. If the first hit successfully connects, Tim reels his hand back to hit twice.

2LK	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - S, R Tim sticks out his foot to kick. Integral to Tim's blockstrings and special cancellable for his vortex in the corner, but also makes a decent poke abare and sees lots of use in link combos.

2HK	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - Tim does a heavy kick while kneeling. Same sprite as 2LK, follows the same trend of Tim's other heavy normals; slower, but fatter hitbox. Interestingly is not a sweep, and does not knock the opponent down.

Running Normals

66LP	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - Tim does a shoulder tackle. Does not knock down, and cannot be linked after. There is, as of right now, no obvious reason to use this move over 66HP.

66HP	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - Tim does a better shoulder tackle. Guess he really wasnt feeling it with the light one, does knock down.

66LK	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - Tim sticks out his foot while sliding forwards. Active for a very long time and is shockingly disjointed, making it a decent meaty or approach option.

66HK	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - Tim knees while sliding forwards. Knocks down, acts the same as most characters' running clotheslines

Jumping Normals

Diagonal Jumping Normals

j.LP	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? until landing ? - - - - Tim does a chop while in the air.

j.HP	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - The classic body-splash. Has a much larger hurtbox than 66j.HP, but unlike 66j.HP does not knock down, which grants you higher damage and combo opportunities. Not an ideal mix-up button outside of cross-ups.

j.LK	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? until landing ? - - - - Looks and acts exactly the same as 66j.LK, j.8LK with no hitbox differences Tim does a knee in the air.

j.HK	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? - ? - - - - Same move on straight jump, no differences in hitbox or frame-data Tim does a mighty stop in mid-air.

Neutral Jump Normals

j.8LP Why, Capcom? Why, Capcom?	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? until landing ? - - - - Tim throws a punch. This acts exactly the same as j.7/9LP in every way, but has a different sprite for some reason.

j.8HP	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - Tim clobbers his hands together before deciding he wants to throw a one-handed punch instead. Has an absolutely ginormous hitbox, great air-to-air for its remarkably fast speed.

Running Jump Normals

66j.LP	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - Same exact move as j.LP, but does more damage.

66j.HP	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - Tim does a body splash. Outside of the obvious benefits of a running normal (momentum, mainly), this move has a remarkably different hitbox from j.7/9HP, featuring significantly less hurtboxes. Knocks down on hit.

66j.LK	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - Tim does a jumping knee. Same song and dance as 66j.LP, but for j.LK instead.

66j.HK	Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - Tim does a jumping knee. Looks visually identical to j.LK, but has a different hitbox which is lower and less horizontal, while having slightly more hittable hurtboxes on Tim's back leg. Rarely ever preferable over j.LK. Knocks down on hit.

Elephant Bomb 2147K why is this frame 1 invul - why this move? why is this frame 1 invul - why this move?

Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel ? ? ? ? - - - - Has 4 different hitboxes Is full-body invulnerable on frame 1 Tim does a small squat before launching himself into the air, doing a somersault and attempting to headbutt the opponent along the way. LK and HK Versions go at different arcs; LK goes more forwards at a 25° degree angle, while the HK version goes at a 45° angle which makes it better for anti-air usage... if you want to use it for that. Can always cross-up in the corner, making it a cheesy round-ending option, but is otherwise a very rarely applicable move and should be used very sparingly. Click below to view all hitboxes. Hitbox 1 Hitbox 2 Hitbox 3 Hitbox 4 Unique Recov. 1 Unique Recov. 2 (Repeat till landing, 3(?) recovery frames landing)

Mountain Breaker 2369P

Version Damage Start-up Active Recovery Guard Hit Advantage Block Advantage Cancel 2369P (Normal) ? ? ? ? HL - - - Has 4 different hitboxes upon landing LP and HP versions go at different arcs, see below for details Chop can hit between 3-6 times, see below for details Tim jumps forward with a rising knee, then does a large chop as he lands. The knee usually combos into the chop, but sometimes mysteriously whiffs, and the amount of hits the chop does is wildly inconsistent. Click below to view hitboxes. Knee Hitbox Hitbox 1 Hitbox 2 Hitbox 3 Hitbox 4 Unique Recov. 1 (repeat for latter recovery frames) 2369P (Rage) - - - - HL - - - No hitbox differences Mountain Breaker is Tim's rage move. During Rage, Tim will do 2 knees before landing for the chop, making the move somehow more inconsistent. Has the tendency to drop or whiff on various characters and depending on if they are standing/crouching.
