Street Fighter Zero 3:  Dee Jay is a young kickboxer, known as the
"Southern Comet". This cheerful fighter quickly rose to become a world
champion. In high spirits, he now searches the world for a good fight.  And
he... does nothing.  He became a music star, apparently [Conjecture based
off in-game storyline].


Street Fighter 2:  Dee Jay participates in the Street Fighter 2 tournament
to find some more rhythm for his songs as he fights.  He realizes a cool
new beat and becomes more popular than ever [Conjecture based off in-game
storyline].

Dee Jay- SSF2XR Character Concealed File

The man who as a fighting stylist is a pro musician.  In order to search out a
new rhythm, he participates in the battle.


Where Is He Now:  He's still a music star.  According to SF Eternal,
"Dee Jay still pursues both music and martial arts equally, traveling
looking for what his future holds."

this actually says one of the reason why he never caught on with me. Aside from not haveing a move set or appearance I much cared for (he really did look average joe to me) and had no range and his speed was between that of the slower fighters and the speedsters, yet didn't have the speed to take advantage of the lower defense or the strength the make up for the lack of speed.

but as I was saying, his story has nothing to it. No secret training searching for his master's killer, avengeing his father, henchman for the badguy, out to make money for his family, no vanity of power, or world domination. He really has no plot that would set him up as anything more than a normal Kick boxer other than he is also a music lover, but that's nothing special alot of guys have more than one hobby.

Which may be why in the old campy movie (which for the record I thought was a fun movie at the least), he is basically forced into the movie by being made Bison's henchman. They changed alot of character plots around and motivations too though, but the movie suffered from characteritice trying to force too many characters together in one movie and come up with an excuse to have them all in one place doing the same basic thing. and Deejay was made a generic "science officer" type of henchman for Bison. Which is better than what Dhalsim got oddly enough, didn't even know THAT was Dhalsim till the credits.

That's fine with me. Breaks away from the seriousness of it all. Dee Jay is just chill...

I like using him from time to time.  Marc brings up good points about the Reggaeton music and the failing of representing Jamaica.

I kinda dig Dee Jay Actually in terms of Story line and gameplay

He really is pretty average Joe, but I feel like he's a well made average joe.

The only reason Why I don't like him is the way he looks. That Huge Smile of his that isn't backed by an idiot or crazy person. I'd See a more Hippi-esque Dee Jay if he's going to be making music. Or something.... He looks Like a Sane Lunatic for Some reason.... not Insane.... But someone that has it all togethor but isn't normal with their facial expressions. And I think his story is kind of awesome once you think about it.

Each fighters style and looks can be associated to a type of music. Dalseem to the seemingly senseless universal instrument the Sitar, Blanka to the Drums of the Heartbeat, etc. Its kind of Mind Opening actually... His whole Character Design. I feel like he almost is the other Half of Fei Long. Fei Long supposed to Represent Bruce Lee and the Idea of Perfecting Martial Arts and the art of Body expression, Dee Jay supposed to represent out of the box thinking and how awesome Fighting and music both are.

I think Dee Jay May in fact Represent the Future of Fighting Games

Dance Dance Revolution.....

Dee-Jay was awesome I liked him and wouldnt mind seeing him as a DLC character.
