bingo is a decent move and imo part of his central gameplay. however, like any move. don’t abuse it or you’ll predictable. keep zonk charged but dont release it every time a jab from your opponent didnt connect etc
ex bingo is the only revearsal we got, but your opponent will know that as well. you’ve to read him and guess what he goes for. you can keep it charged but go for a back dash instead or simply block and decide what to do next.
bingo as poke is somewhat great to use in mid range in particular against poking characters like bison or chun li etc.
as a matter of fact it depends which button(s) you should use to charge bingo. i wouldnt use MP since it’s the best anti air and c.mp => bingo is a decent combo. i usually go for LP or HP (i think with LP you lose the least tools)
I always charge bingo with HP. I use the lp hit confirm combo a lot.
You´re right… I am just working on the “metagame” and the hard part is getting the bad habits out.
But everyone who play with Cody know that is kinda of great surprising a mistake with a big punch and the shout “BINGO”.
Thanks for the advice man.
Not sure if this has been discussed, but after landing a back-throw, I’m using the lp.bs (bad stone). Looks to be very tricky for some characters to deal with and gives me really solid pressure options after I’ve recovered (f.hk, jump-in, slide, dash-in throw, etc). Good? Bad? Common-place?
I usually do this vs the people that can’t be safe jumped. If I can safe jump them though then I am getting right up in their grill again after the throw.
Hey Kep, I fought you with my Cody (you spanked me and posted on Youtube, nice).
I see you throwing bad stone then following up with a short RK. From the other vids you posted, it looks pretty effective. What strength of BS are you using? Is it spacing dependent?
Guile’s roundhouse ( without any Ultra / Zonk for Cody )…tried ex CU after first hit but the 2nd hit of the RH hits before the tornado comes out…maybe I am doing it too slowly…
great beginners guide. What should I do vs grapplers like hawk and gief? Also is there any other option besides ex zonk on wakeup cause I find myself getting too predictable with that.
If you’re going to use meter with EX CU Guile’s Roundhouse, you should just EX Zonk it instead. Block the first hit and EX Zonk before the second. Or FADC the first and beat the tar out of him before the second.
hey guys ive been tryin to pick up cody. but i mostly use rose and sakura. anyway i was playin this pretty good cody in endless the other day with my rose, and he was using this reversal move on his wakup…it like kicked up dirt at me as he was getting up? (it wasnt his stone throw) the move looks like cody crouching and throwing dirt across the ground while still crouching. kinda like his stone throw but he doesnt stand up just throws dirt on the ground that reaches about 3/4 box forwards (training mode boxes) and it stuffed everything i tried on the ground. i cant remember if it stuffed jump ins but i dont jump in a lot so i cant remember.
am i on crack and just not seeing this right or is there a move of cody’s i know nothing about. anyways, anyone can shed some light on this for me thanks!
^it’S bad spray. you push up + p. he makes this instead of a quick rise. so you can only do it after a NON untechable knockdown. so not after many ultras and throws. it’s terrible unsafe if blocked and can even be focused. it’s okay sometimes, but only rarely.
thanks that cleared it up perfectly. somehow i had never seen it before so i just didnt know what to do to it. it didnt seem to recover that bad but ill take your advice. seems like a pretty sweet move for certain situations though.
LMAO I think that was me who was playing you on xbox live.
I remember because I tend to overuse bad spray when someone doesn’t punish it properly. Or when I get rushed too much.
However I thought I played you on rank? or was it endless I just remember the tormentor part in your name.
haha no it wasnt you, this guy plays pretty much every character and has 0 pp 0 bp. he doesnt play ranked, me and this guy play fairly often together too. and i dont really play ranked much anymore either after going from 2700 pp down to 1600 THREE times im pretty much done with that. but we very well could have played in the past. i dont remember anyone abusing that move on me as much as this guy did though haha.
i will add you for sure. i always enjoy endless sets. you on west coast? i just started trying to learn cody but im decent with the characters i do use. im usually on after 9 west coast time, ill be keepin an eye for you.
Dont play ranked matches with cody. You will just lose and rage stomp your stick into the ground forcing you to buy a new one… only to realise you prefer pad.
What? Cody is really easy to get wins with if you have half an idea of how to use him. His rush is one of the best in the game and I get stuns all the time. Cody is proper good.
