Derek Baum (butthataintindie)

Derek Baum is an unlockable fighter in The Fighting Game of Everything.
==Bio==
Derek Baum is a salesman for the proven-effective products Kitchen Gun and Toilet Grenade. He utilizes these in his moveset, shooting enemies from afar in order to keep them away.
==Pros and Cons==
===Pros===
*Effective at keeping enemies away
*Possesses above-average speed and agility
===Cons===
*Gets predictable after a while
*Lower health than almost any other fighter
*Only has two specials
*Is combo bait
*Most vulnerable to rushdown and stealthy characters, who can evade his attacks, resulting in them getting too close to him
==Costumes==
Derek possesses no costumes, apart from his default.
==Throws==
FORWARD: Derek throws a Toilet Grenade at the opponent, sending them forwards.
BACKWARD: Derek shoots the enemy with the Kitchen Gun, sending them towards the back with the recoil.
==Specials==
===Kitchen Gun===
Derek pulls out his Kitchen Gun, aiming it at the opponent. Claiming it to clean up any surface, he shoots the opponent three times before a 2 second cooldown. This attack deals enough damage, but leaves Derek vulnerable to reload his Kitchen Gun, something which other zoners (e.g. Gordon Freeman, another projectile-based character) all lack in their specials.
===Toilet Grenade===
Derek pulls out a Toilet Grenade. He throws it at the enemy, and after 5 seconds, it detonates, dealing catastrophic damage. There is a five-second cooldown for this move. Due to the amount of time it takes to detonate, it is best to only use this sparingly.
==X-Factor==
===Kitchen Gun (Epic Remix)===
Derek Baum shoots the opponent, as they are flown into a cut version of this video right here: https://youtu.be/nl5isYGEhig?si=MhwuXKFL9Er6wMRm. With every shot, the opponent gets a small amount of damage dealt. Due to the high amount of shots, it ultimately results in the opponent getting a lot of damage dealt as the video goes on. If the opponent is KOd, we are treated with a shot of Derek Baum with his Kitchen Gun cheery, similar to Joker’s finishing screen, before it cuts to the victory screen.
==Play Objectives==
===Against Derek===
To face Derek, it is recommended to face him with a fast-running rushdown or mix-up character. The Spy's moveset, most especially his invisibility cloak, disguising, and ability to subtly copy one of his enemies’ specials, is the best at countering Derek and other rangers like him. As Derek is a zoner with a low amount of health, the Spy, being a stealthy character, can use his invisibility cloak to outmaneuver Derek’s Kitchen Gun. Once done, the Spy can use his knife and revolver to deal enough damage and lead to a barrage of combos. Other characters recommended include The Scout and Buzzsaw, who are similar types of rushdown characters, Jetstream Sam, who possesses a sword’s long range while also having good parries to parry Derek’s weapons, and if you can handle the bullets, Donkey Kong, whose grappler style can easily take out Derek once he gets close enough. Specifically for Sam, it is advised to parry all of the Kitchen Gun shots and rush in once Derek is reloading, before slashing your Masamune around.
