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

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.
