Cody Vers. 2012 Changes

Works for me lol :wink:

Alright so when are the changes comming again? Didn’t they say originally in the end of October?

Hey this is cool actually I am the creator of the Jack Daniels taunt. It consists in ignorantly playing an online ranked match with cody while drunk, going for fake bad stone, and taunting instead. Obviously most people don’t play with mics, an it takes too long to type up an apology explenation, thus I contiune the match and watch my points quickly decline. ā€œJack Daniels tauntā€; I did create…

duuuuuuu…

In before Capcom takes away Cody’s buffs/nerfs him because someone using him won a major.

Just goes to show that Cody is a legit good character. He doesnt need nerfs or anything but hes always been solid AF.

every mid tier+ character is legit, but needs an outstanding player to actually win CONSISTENTLY like momochi in this case.

I think this was his first major winning with cody tho. glad about this, reppin dat cody.

To be fair he won a number of matches because people don’t block, or bother trying to punish half of his shit. He was dropping lots of combos too, oddly enough.

Nobody knows how to play Cody outside of Japan and the UK (probably some other places but those are the only two places I know).

people weren’t punishing his CUs as much as they should have…

the fact that he’s a heavily underplayed character, I think, had some to due with Cody’s performance tonight.

If you know how to space lp cu so it’s safe it’s pretty tough to spot the occasional unsafe one, trying to punish a safe lp cu will get you beat up

Yeah, some character’s can’t actually punish a well spaced lp.CU and Momochi has that spacing down

E

Every character except Makoto, Rufus and possibly C.Viper can punish a well spaced LP CU. It’s not safe.

Maybe I’m used to playing online a little too much…

yup, no one will punish lp.CU online, no matter how badly spaced it is.

Interesting - I had started to think that well spaced maybe was ā€˜almost’ safe. If you’ve watched Sasaki’s playlist he’s brutal with the lp.cu into people - sometimes he does get punished but no where near as much as he should. Momochi’s style is slightly different but he was getting into the lp.cu as well. If Rufus really has issues punishing Momochi probably knows this and was abusing it. Half his luck - I saw that match up and thought it was going to get really ugly for Cody. Major props to Momochi’s defense during that match.

Some matchup knowledge would help people (I know I get away with a log of things that are unsafe at times because people don’t know its punishable). I’d say its a big thing - they don’t punish and Cody just continues his offense. If they can punish you you lose hp and breaks your momentum.

I did notice Momochi wasn’t even trying to couter poke (with buffered ruffian’s etc) - is this a vs Rufus thing or a Momochi’s style thing?

PS - did anyone else laugh when the commentators said ā€˜crouching short into cu, he’s really using that’ - it’s only one of Cody’s staple links.

Heh, I was just taking a peek at the Yun forums (I’m thinking of using Yun in 2012 along with Cody; been testing Yun out recently and he’s a lot of fun to play), reading through one of them about Yun’s nerfs, and apparently some people think Cody is going to be S tier and Yun will be trash.

I hope these people are being sarcastic, because if enough people start thinking this we’re going to have a major bandwagon on our hands…

Cody doesn’t have anything too abusable, other than maybe f.mp to a low degree, so people won’t stick around.

I’m sure that will last a whole week once people find out Cody’s has a harsh time once knocked down. The first Ryu/Ken they meet who continually jumps at them on wakeup will ruin their day - let alone when they meet a competent Akuma or Ibuki…
