Apparently, when Bonchan grabbed Luffy 5 times in the corner it was hard reads but in BJ’s case it was gimmicks and a ton of luck . Althought I was happy to see him beat Bonchan and do so well against Snake Eyez ( I thought he was going to win 
), I didn’t like his approach on the Dudley matchup. Even if it was Smug, I can’t help but feel that he could have done a lot better.
He didn’t seem particularly familiar but he did really well at the tournament as a whole, he’ll probably work on his MU knowledge in his training time maybe? Regardless, he’s one of few people to do something with Cody excluding Momochi.
He’s commentated a handful of Momochi’s matches at EVOs and NCR 2013. I can’t remember which ones he has said Zonk isn’t great. Ultradavid says it all the time lol.
I tweet Seth about the 4F crHP thing. God could you imagine how good/stupid Cody’s crHP would be at 4F? Combos from jabs, -1F on block, probably combos into itself, 100 damage 200stun, great hitbox, good range, would be an amazing frame trap since Cody has nothing but jabs at 4F but nothing but clsLP and clsMP are more than +2F so he’d have a 3F frame trap with crLP - crHP AND it’d combo if the crLP hits? fuck yeah.
“Hey guys, Peter Combofiend Rosas here…”
The idea of Peter making balance change videos with insane balance changes and manically laughing as he addresses them seems hilarious to me, Cody 4F cr.hp plz Capcom
Oh my god that is so insanely broken, I want it in 1.05. Cody players have trouble getting in, he needs this.
Seth Kappian.
OMG lol, I totally forgot to use Cody’s zonk combos. Cody can stun Abel for 2 bars off of a counterhit clsHP if his crHP is 4F. ch clsHP - EX BS - Walk forward slightly - clsHP - crHP - crHP - L3 Zonk - EX Criminal Upper stuns abel (1063stun) if you followup with U2 it does 689 damage. However there is no reason to do that because if you simply do EX Badstone - clsHP - crHP - crHP - HP Criminal Upper post stun it does 683 damage and you STILL have 1 bar lol.
Hah, while typing this I found a 725 damage combo on Abel only
ch clsHP - EX Badstone - clsHP - crHP - crHP - L3 Zonk - EX CU (stun) - EX Badstone - clsHP - crHP - crHP - HK Ruffian Kick - U1 (no FADC needed).
If you spend 3 bars you can even 1hit stun zangief by doign the same combo but doing FADC - F+HK - EX CU after the zonk 
BTW you know what’s crazy? Guy can do similar stuff already. The clsHP - crHP - crHP stuff is character specific obviously. Just like that is character specific guy can do closeHK - farHP - farMP vs a number of characters. He can actually do clsHK - farHP - farHK for as much damage as Cody’s clsHP - crMP - HP CU (288). If he does clsHK - farHP - farMP - EX Hozanto - MK Tatsu in the corner it does 710 stun and ~450 damage for 1 bar no counterhit required.
Shout- outs to Seth Killian though.

A lot of focus attacks in there! I’ve definitely had it completely whiff on Fuerte’s focus in a real game - was pretty salty about it. Where’s my beefy counter-hit damage Capcom?!
Can’t get Hawk’s focus to avoid/beat it though - how do you set that up exactly?
Never seen it whiff on Fuerte’s focus but the focus does CH Zonk during upper body I Frames.
Hawk was super duper easy, dunno how you’re having trouble. I have Cody setup to do a zonk then just try and beat it, if a CH message comes up I know it worked, plus I can double check the video in slow mo and see the start of zonk animation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDsvl5Jje3A
Also I just thought of one I didn’t test: Decapre’s last hit of her rapid daggers (all versions) should beat L3 Zonk as the hitbox reaches the ground.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_OR4je-CUo
Idea I’ve had for a long time for the EX Knife throw Cody has never had. They didn’t even give him one in Omega mode! If only…
Just a weird question but is it normal than cody j.HK can cross-up a standing decapre outside of the corner? Is it because of decapre hurtbox or j.HK hitbox is long enough to cross-up succesfully at some perfect distance?
Edit: Nevermind, j.HP and j.HK can cross-up at some specific distance on every character apparently. Didn’t know that the hitbox was long enough for both of them to do that.
Eternal posted a vid somewhere (might have been here. Might be on his YT channel) showing basically every non knife normal crossing up. Just a matter of knowing the range to jump and the character hurtbox.
knife j.hp also crosses up but from what i’ve found so far it’s character specific and not overall practical on said characters it works on.
I only used weird crossups, didn’t include the jMK. Also I did include a knife jHP crossup. Man that is one of my oldest videos can’t believe you remembered it, june 2013.

The hidden changes included btw:
AE-

AE2012 -
Forward Dash: Pushbox on head removed to prevent Cody from being pushed back as far when dashing into an opponent.
Diagonal Jump MP: Given larger Hitboxes upward and downward. Hurtbox on active frames 2~3F increased upward.
Far Standing LP with knife: Hitbox added backwards towards arm **(Note: Change not applied to chained version) **
EX Zonk Knuckle: Knocks the opponent farther away **on first hit ** ---- Notes only said knock back increased on EX Zonk
Bad Spray: Now fully invincible 1~10F instead of strike only.
EX Badstone: Hitbox expanded backwards on first 2F active. [Added in AE2012 1.04]
USF4 -
Knife Attack: All grounded versions given Juggle Potential 3; can combo after L Criminal Upper for example **(Note: Not applied to chained versions of knife normals or the 2nd hit of close MP with knife) **
Bad Stone: Charge Time required for Level 2 Bad stone reduced from 44F to 22F
Crack Kick (F + HK): Now considered airborne 8~26F, **Start Up increased to 15F, Lower Body invincibility starts on 2F rather than 4F **
Dead End Irony (SC): Light version first 2 hits push back increased on grounded hit. 3rd hit floats lower.
Dead End Irony (SC): Medium version 5th hits active frames increased by 3F and hit box size increased
Final Destruction (UC1): Forward movement during ultra freeze increased slightly
LK Ruffian Kick: No longer causes a hard knockdown when hitting an airborne opponent.
USF4 1.04 -
Crack Kick (F+HK): Start up returned to 14F from 15F. Lower body invincibility returned to starting on 4F from 2F **
EX Criminal Upper: Strike invincibility increased from 1~6F to 1~7F. Projectile invincibility removed. **
Cody has had A LOT of hidden changes and a number of them are nerfs
