Introduction

Victor von Gerdenheim (ビクトル), Frankenstein's Monster

The creation of ill scientist, Prof. Victor Von Gerdenheim, who passed away shortly after giving him life. Lacking an understanding of life and death, Victor believed that his deceased creator's unresponsiveness was disappointment in him. Thinking that his strength would be able to win the approval of his "father," Victor left his castle in search of opponents. Victor returned home after defeating many Darkstalkers, only to find the dead professor unresponsive still. In his stead, another of his creations, Emily, welcomed Victor. The two lived joyously for years until Emily suddenly stopped functioning. Believing that if he collected several souls, he would be able to revive Emily, Victor entered Jedah's Majigen. In the end, Victor sacrificed his own body in order to restore life to Emily.

Victor is a straight forward grappler with effective normals who is very strong at beginner to mid-level play. Victor is recomended for beginners or players who enjoy making large reads/risks at high-level play. He is low-tier.

Gameplay

Primary Objectives:

• Abuse 9J.HP to approach
• Nullify projectiles at neutral
• Abuse command throws when the opponent is conditioned to block or Tech-Hit
• Utilize electric attacks in combos to gain damage & a resets
• Run a blender/vortex on electric resets to stay on top of the opponent
• Confirm standing opponents to connect ES Lariat combos for big damage + corner advantage
• Gain meter with kara-Gyro Crush

Strengths

Weaknesses

Highest health bracket in the game Ground roll speed is fast & consistent, making him the hardest to roll-chase Can wake-up with Reversal grabs after a ground roll 9J.HP is a strong tool that is challenging for opponents to manage even at mid-level play Reliable range on his normals Although they are slow, he does have reliable anti-airs for numerous scenarios Has numerous tools to nullify projectiles at neutral Although slow & not at great range, he does have dashing offense that can link into a full combo Unique okizeme/vortex offense with electric chained normals Strong meter gain with kara-Gyro Crush Has a strong Guard Cancel. If it whiffs an opponent, he can easily setup a command grab. Effective cheap kill potential with electric normals Although it doesn't maintain advantage, he has competitive throw damage

Tall when standing & crouching, he is vulnerable to IOH's & extended ground combos Wide when standing & crouching, he is vulnerable to cross-ups Slow walk speed which makes approaching a challenge His most damaging throw, Gerdenheim 3, loses advantage at mid-screen Offense does not push through tech-hits, he struggles to maintain offense when the opponent successfully Tech-Hits His most damaging throw, Gerdenheim 3, has an execution barrier during his advanced/most competitive setups. Throw ranges are smaller than others, disappointing for a grappler character The effectiveness of his vortex/mix-up after electric normals diminishes at high-level play Due to his overall slow speed, he can struggle against speedy opponent's who don't have to over commit to options

Use as a defensive poke with ascending 8j.hp in neutral or as a throw bait with a quick ascending 8j.hp as soon as the opponent tries to throw you. This setup also makes for a great tick-throw into walking 720 on block. 8j.hp knocks down on hit, but thankfully Victor recovers in time to chase ground rolls here.

Has noticibale startup, so you can land cancel the startup for a strike/throw mix. Victor can air chain into j.mk to beat chicken blocks because the startup causes enough gap for the opponents move to come out. It can also be used as a jump in that beats Tech-Hits since the startup is likely to make the opponent leak an attack.

Use as a defensive mid-range poke with descending j.hk, due it the effective range. This moves also makes a great appearance against tall opponents with a 9j.hp to j.hk chain. Lastly, due to the significant visual startup of the attack, you may also chose to land cancel the startup for a strike/throw mixup.

This is the go-to air normal. This move is amazing. There is little startup, significant active frames and it usually sets up Victor to make more offensive decisions on hit or block. This move loses to very few anti-airs, but gets demolished by Tech-Hits and chicken blocking. Be sure to rotate to descending j.lp strings to beat chicken blocks and delayed j.lp strings to beat Tech-Hits as needed. Aim to chain 9j.hp to j.hk against tall opponents like QB, DE, JE, AN, BI, & VI.

Electric Normals

Victor has an additional version of most medium & heavy attacks which is activated by holding the attack button. This can make Victor's offense relentless. There are numerous benefits & a single downside to this ability:

• Advantage - No pushback
• Advantage - Negates projectiles
• Advantage - Causes chip damage
• Advantage - Some attacks force a reset
• Disadvantage - Slightly less damage
• Disadvantage - All electric normals have more recovery, with heavies being significant

Can get Cheap Kills if the opponent is not crouching, like jumping to avoid 2,8KK. This move negates projectikes, so it's an effective anti-fireball tool. The range and speed is useful, so with the right read it can be an effective counter-poke. The recovery is terrible. Do not whiff this move. It is 3 hits and not air unblockabke. It becomes very easy for your opponent to Guard Cancel or combo punish you on block or whiff.

Use to counter poke. Kara cancel with a St.hk for amazing meter gain. This move is grounded UB, so it is also used as a UB guard break if you want a damaging knockdown or a deathblow. The attack hits a bit more in front of Vic than his other anti-airs, so it is also used at ranges where cr.hp would whiff.

Amazing special that is well worth the meter. It allows follow up combos on-hit with another 214PP or 214HP. This ES version is advantagous on block, so aim for a frame trap until they respect you. The (5) short crouchers can crouch under the hits and easily punish Victor's whiff, so dont use it much in those match-ups like QB, GA, BU, MO & LI. This move will negate most projectiles as you approach, making it highly effective as a counter fireball tool. You can influence your movement during the active & recovery frames.

Great damage command throw for no meter. Used often in his strike/throw mixup. Victor can pursue the opponent's ground roll, so offense can be maintained. Victor isn't just a throw character, he is a strike throw character, so be sure to attack as much as you are abusing 360P. There are input tricks to end the inputs on towards such that you are walking at your opponent before you grab them. There are also dash splitting tricks.

Dark Force

Great Gerdenheim - Same strength P+K:

Victor's Darkforces are often used defensively to beat your opponents OS throws. Aim to get out of DF as soon as possible. While in Darkforce, Victor gains a various buffs.

• (L/M Version):

His punch buttons become 1f command throws. He can chain into this grab attack to beat armor moves. Its funny, but not practical. He also gains a dashing speed buff, this one can be used to rush down. Aim to connect a dashing far st.lk so you can link into a combo or tick throw accordingly.

• (H Version):

All of his normal attacks become the close electric version, even at far ranges. Standing Heavy Kick becomes slightly faster at 19f startup. Effective offense or setups in this state are unknown.
