Imperialdramon [Evo]

Imperialdramon is a Mega level Digimon, digivolving from Paildramon, the DNA-Digivolution of Stingmon and ExVeemon. In the game, it is used as Veemon evolved form. He is a solid fighter who suffers from a slow jab and abysmal walking speed, but makes it up with a decent toolkit and very good super that can be used both as a combo finisher and as a block punish.

Pros:

His Positron Laser has a very high priority and cannot be stopped by other projectiles, going through supers as well
His super can be easily comboed into from an up launcher or a short jab combo
His super is the fastest super in the game tied with Seraphimon's (i1) and can be used as a block punish tool
He has a true infinite in his > (restand) > …
Idm can easily build meter while zoning out opponents with
Idm's (and jump dash Neutral air) combined with a dash can quickly close the distance between you and your opponent
His has a lingering hitbox, which despite visually disappearing, is actually still active for half a second

Cons:

Below average walk speed for an Evo
His jab is extremely slow (i5 - compare with BlackWarGreymon's being i1)
The third hit of his jab string whiffs if the timing is not correct
If his super is blocked or whiffs, it is extremely easy to get a full punish on him
He can cause two glitches that put him in a bad spot
He is a fair character in an unfair game

Move Frame Data

Button	Move Name	Move Name (Japanese)	Start Up Frames	Active Frames	End Lag Frames	Frame Advantage	Element	Meter Gain	Stun	Launch/Knock Down	Notes
			5	5	8	+2		6.6%		Neither	Slow startup, active frame for ages. Can combo directly into Grab, if well spaced
			(11f till cancel) 5	7	4			13.3%		Short Launch	This second hit can be comboed into , if well timed. The heavier the opponent, the harder the timing. It can also be linked back into a restand, but again requires very good timing.
			(27f till cancel) 7	6	16			20.1%		Knockdown	Whiffs after if the timing is not precise, on certain characters
Up			3	7	10			6.6%		Launch
Crouch			4	1	10			6.6%		Knockdown
Dash			1	18	4			6.6%		Knockdown
Grab			0	39	0			6.6%		Knockdown
	Splendor Blade	Splendor Blade	3	11 (Projectile comes out on f19-30)	11			13.4%		Knockdown	Knocks down if both hits connect. If only the second hit connects, it keeps the opponent standing instead. Its forward momentum can be damped by pressing Back during the animation, making it safer at the price of dealing half damage
	Positron Laser	Positron Laser	8	inf.	15	0 (up close)		9.1%		Neither	Knocks down jumping opponents. Highest priority projectile, cannot be stopped by any other projectile move in the game
	Mega Crusher	Giga Death	0	108	11	-		0		Knockdown	Frame 1 super, hits for the full amount only if the first (invisible) hit connects. Very easy to punish if blocked, but can be comboed into quite easily or used as a block punish itself
Air			9	8	3			6.6%		Neither
Air Forward			1	18	4			6.6%		Neither	Can be used as a combo starter if properly spaced
Air Up			8	6	3			6.6%		Knockdown	Very hard to hit with, propels Imperialdramon further higher
Air			cannot be performed in the air
Air	Positron Laser	Positron Laser	8	inf.	12	+3 (up close)		9.1%		Neither	Knocks down jumping opponents. Highest priority projectile, cannot be stopped by any other projectile move in the game
Air			cannot be performed in the air

Stage Specific Combos & Tech

Character Specific Tech

Imperialdramon is notorious for being able to cause two glitches:

His super has a glitch: if it whiffs, the first move of the opponent which hits Imperialdramon is immediately canceled, giving the opponent room for combos that wouldn't normally be possible
After a Digivolution from Veemon or at the start of the round, the same glitch as above may occurr. This can cause him to get stuck together with another character, if the opponent used a grab with a special state (e.g. MetalGarurumon, Gallantmon, WarGreymon) - see here

Both these glitches are strongly favouring the opponent and have little to no practical gain for him.
