were they? I thought I saw s.mp with the knife.
I abused the overhead honestly. People still didn’t know it was unsafe and people clearly don’t expect it.

according to the official translation there is no ‘2 hitting’ property on the knife standing mp 
. It seems they simply swapped the hit advantages of knife stand MP(used to be +3) and knife stand HP(used to be +2)
nah. I’ve asked also a friend, he said there is nothing to be read about frame advancement either for that move. So they just **** up 
I was browsing Gouken forum and came across this pdf file from Capcom http://www.capcom.co.jp/sf4/images/locationtest01.pdf. I put it into the ever crappy google translator and came across this quote “Bud Spray attack expand vertically decision”. After some thinking i figured it might be just describing it as a wake-up attack or simply saying it was expanded/improved, but the unrealistic hopeful side of me kinda hoped it meant it has a more vertical hitbox…or it could just be a horrible translation i guess.
is it possible that cody will have more match ups in his favor because of his changes?
not to a degree where a number will change, but things get more lenient along the way against multiply characters due to his walkspeed mostly.
there might be slight changes due to other people changes in his favor (yun/yang) but maybe also in his disadvantage (juri, gen, blanka, honda, abel). it’s hard to jude just by looking on the paper. We’ll see when the patch is released.
Hakan will be top tier tho. When doning Coward Stance from a dash in an oiled state, he will slide. this is literally the most awesome thing I can imagin. Opponents will get distracted, dropping their stick due to laughing, resulting in an instant win for hakan. 10-0 matchup against everybody.
btw:
Cody now does less damage!

U mad Cody Players?
Maybe we’ll see one or two further changes. I think he’s just trolling, but we’ll see.
It’s possible that Cody will have more matchups in his favor because of the other characters changes.
If someone said Ono was trolling I would have believed them, But seth? I don’t think so… So there’s still a very very very very slight chance we just might get an EX Criminal or EX Ruffian buff… Crosses Fingers
AE Cody at about 4:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kXIndHVcc8 (posted in Gouken forums). He pretty much gets bodied, but gets some nice corner pressure before taking round 2. Def looks faster.
Is this guy in the video^^ even aware that cody received changes? He didn’t test shit.
Yeah, I couldn’t notice any difference because he didn’t try the new stuff.
Although I’m a little worried about the walk speed… doesn’t look like a big difference, although the fight was very fast and aggressive so it’s hard to tell.
Yeah… I knew it was too good to be true rofl… I just had a feeling that the walk speed will not sufficient enough. I mean if it was, why would they give him so many arbitrary and non-relevant buffs that none of us really asked for? If the change is really represented in that video, his walk speed still really blows. I barely noticed any difference, if at all.
Am I just cynical/crazy or what?..
His walk speed is still SHIT.
How did you guys find out that it’s shit anyway? he BARELY even walked in the video… just half a second walk backward that doesn’t show anything. I say let’s wait for someone who actually tests out Cody’s new stuff…
this. I’m so mad at the guy AND cody player. he didn’t forwardwalked ONCE in the whole friggin video… I hate them both! ಠ_ಠ
Well at least we can see cody’s back walkspeed is faster since the dude walked backwards and jumped through the entire freakin video.
I hope capcom actually reviews their location test results and realizes that Cody could better use a longer backdash. They can have the walkspeed back.
Yea that backspeed was around Ryu level…that’s reasonable IMO. That backspeed buff DEF helped Guy, he was everywhere! It kinda seemed he was flipping faster also, or maybe it’s me.
I like how everyone’s judging the walkspeed when Cody was too busy jumping in and getting rushed the fuck down.
I can slightly see the backspeed better but rarely did the player do any walking.
Maaaaan. It’s hard to tell from the video obviously, since pretty much no walking was done, but I can’t even tell much a difference. I guess we’ll see later on, but I’m starting to get a little less optimistic.
Did you guys notice a big change in Juri’s walkspeed in AE? I’m not a Juri player but my friend is and I play against him a lot, and I didn’t really notice a change. Obviously its more noticeable if your actually using the character…
