Same - I’m pissed off with whoever this guy was. Cody has some of the biggest *visible *changes in the cast now and I didn’t even see one of them. Didn’t even test FADC on the bad spray - COME ON PEOPLE!!! Give the community something tangible to talk about.
Yeah that cody sucked cock. Cant judge his speed currently.
Yeah I was bummed he didn’t do 1 bad spray or walk forward just a little more. Oh and when he grabs the knife he gets bodied lol. I know I rarely used bad spray when I played Cody but then again I didn’t really know how or when I could use it, I’m still learning how to use the quick stand feature 
My buddy that mains Cody uses it all the time and I can see where it’s going to get real scary playing him now =(
In that vid he didnt walk forward alot but i did notice how his walk backwards looks almost exactly like AE.
yeah =/
from the little times where he did walk back… it was pretty much not noticeable… -_-
Honestly should wait for another video before we judge the walkspeed, that twat walked for a split second during the whole thing so it’s hard to tell.
Pretty much.
I don’t know why but this made me laugh a lot lool
lol same. think it was a combination of the word “twat” and the fact that every one of us are just bagging on that asshat in the video. By now he’s been called every name in the book by the cody forum hahahaha.
I’m glad we’ve established this deep seeded hatred for the poor Cody in that video who probably doesn’t play Cody lol…
Anybody else watching the niconico AE 2012 location test stream? so far theres been 1 Cody on steam… the walkspeed was actually noticably faster this time… I’m actually impressed… could be just cuz of my expectations though… even got to see the bad spay fadc (no ultra 1, just dashed out)… but unfortunately, once again the cody player was mentally handicapped… he must have gotten a soft knockdown atleast 100 times, out of which he was only able to activate bad spray once… the rest of the match he got a nj.HP instead… And I don’t think the new air jab even crossed his mind… even though he was playing against a yang so he could’ve easily put it to good use >_>
I haven’t seen the Cody you’re speaking about… I saw the other Cody who played against Kazunoko Yun and didn’t get to test ANYTHING ;( so sad.
Bad spray kinda looked liked like it had more horizontal range in that match.
d
i’m not impressed. i noticed a bit of change on the forward walk speed but backwards? still shitty as ever. He needs walkspeed of at least ryu for the change to make any impact.
walkspeed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFjY_9O4Mi8&t=27s
I’d guess from a short glimpse that he is around ken’s or guy’s level (which would be a jump of 2 / 4 characters).
bad spray FADC u1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1hZI9lF9QQ&t=13m23s looks like it requires real tight timing. I think it’s better to go for f.mp, mk ruffian or f.hk. but the low angle they fly could be some kind of “unintended” thing right now,
Cody still lacks a decent reversal, this is clearly visible, he gets rushed like f*ck in all those videos. bad spray seems only like a tiny improvement for his wakeup options.
If anyone at Capcom watches this video, they should be able to immediately identify Cody’s shortcomings. I’m not mad at the Guy player. He simply exposed the fact that the changes did nothing to remedy our problems with the lack of a reversal option. I’m still hoping this is a bit premature as my excitement level has significantly dropped. Change or no change though, I’m still using Cody.
that guy was playing cody correct. he’s use to not relying on cody’s walkspeed. but it actually does look good when he does use it.
Don’t give Cody a viable reversal, he’ll be too good. Ryu-like walk speed is too good.
These are pretty much the only two factors holding Cody back from being amazing tier. I’d rather Cody be a solid A or high B tier character.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Well, in all honesty, Cody already has a viable reversable. Its the only charge reversal in the game which allows you to walk around freely while charging and its great for yomi. It’s unique. The trick to using it is learning to release it in between gaps in block strings(which if you use any charge characters you probably already know how to do). The only problem is that it can’t be done on reaction, youre forced to give up other important tools while charging, and it cant be used as an anti-air on wake up. Which is something Cody NEEDS due to his bad backdash.
