Heres a random vid of my Dudley against Viper. There should be more up on Youtube pretty soon.

Good point. I’ll have to work on the cr.hp to st.hk link though. Maybe I need to add plinking to my play because I’m not even getting the f.mk to lp x2 to st.hk off consistently.
@Riot Guard: Nice bnb combos but stop this stupid random ex-mg. Why are you jumping so much? stay on the ground and play dudleys poking game with standing/forward fierce. if you play against ryu, punich his fireballs always with ducking-streight. please, please, please dont do so much focus atacks. a good player will punish you so hard for this FA’s.
^^^ LOL, no doubt. As soon as I started re-watching some of those I knew I’d get called out for that noob ex mgb tactic. On the focus attacks, I’ve been watching Marn’s Dudley and he seems to do them alot. I guess he’s just doing it at more opportune times. Dudley’s st.fp is strong and I need to use it more.
Against Ryu, the only thing I’ve figured regarding crossups is to light ducking out of it.
Hey got a couple of more Dudley vids w/ commentary when I was at a new york tournament last night

Waiting for one more to be uploaded
Looking good liquid. Lol you do the same reset I do after landing too long a combo into stun haha. I do that or st.rh into rh thunderbolt to try and crossup.

thats the final one of me vs arturo … did horrible in this match, can someone please explain to me how your supposed to beat rose with dudley? it seems like a difficult feat.
Its really hard. Probably close to impossible. Technically cr.jab should hit bad drills… but its still hella hard only thing you can do is read a bad poke and jump but good luck!
Fighting good Rose’s is a basically a test of patience and footsies. Punish her slides with cr.jab and punish blocked spiral arrows with st. Hk xx Lp. MGB/LK duck. If you input the st. HK late and she blocks, you still get in for free after the LP MGB/Duck. You have to predict how he will react to it on block because Spiral Arrow can be hard to punish if spaced properly. He was back dashing after your empty ducks a lot so going for a Forward HP would have made sense.
I also wouldn’t have used empty duck into throw so early in the match. Sabin new to tech after all of your duckings. A better move to use after an empty duck would be an option select cr. lk because you would be conditioning him to block more, and if he went for a throw you still would be able to teched out of it.
Idk, those are just some ideas.
Thanks for feedback will put it in play now
If you are going to condition the opponent to throw tech after empty ducking, mix it up with cr.LK as well. That will condition them to block low/crouch tech. You can also LP Jet Upper her back dashes on reaction which I saw you do once there which is very useful.
Once you have conditioned them to crouch tech… you only need to catch a character like Rose once with a Counter hit st.HK xx LK Ducking > st.HK xx LP Jet Upper > Ultra 2. That’s half her life gone for crouch teching once.
Nice matches Liquid.
Got a queestion for you, are you using Option Select cr.LK into LP Jet Uppercut? It looks like that as I’ve seen a few times in your matches opponents back dashing a cr.LK and eating LP Jet Uppercut instead.
Your play is pretty good. With Rose, just play the matchup more to learn it. You can actually duck the slide if you know it’s coming, but generally you just need to be really patient.
In terms of your general play, there’s not much to be said, you seem to have it all down pretty good. Personally I would advice against using Dudley’s Ducking Uppercut FADC combos, as unless you know you are going to stun the opponent after it, it’s a waste of two bars, and Dudley’s super is just too buff to pass up. But I guess everyone plays Dudley differently.
To be honest I have no Idea if I option select or not. I think its a subconcious reaction thing that happens. I think it would be pretty hard to option select a cr. lk since its such a fast frame move.
Yeah I usually play for the Super more then the FADC combos. Like on xbox live, I won’t care so I just go for FADC combos, but at tournaments I will start saying forget about being flashly and just go for super. Thanks for advise.
Her footsies are godly against Dudley and to be honest, I am 2nd to worst against Rose, behind E.Honda. I need some help as well, I tried too many things against her, and it’s just…ugh.
Also, nice matches, especially limiting Cody’s options in the second match. As long as he does not grab the knife, you’re pretty much good to go and mix him up for some good damage. Nice Dudley!
I used to have A LOT of work to take down roses… That bitch is fast, and her pokes destroys Dudley, so i tried something different, since im always offensive and keep close to every char, i tested to stay solid and keep her out treating her like a grapler. It worked with some of the best Roses i encountered.
When she’s knocked down i still keep the pressure like always, this is when you need to be fast and strong. Then, return to grapler stance, and keep her away. If she throws soul spark, l.duck or neutral jump, just keep her away and wait for openings, trust me, she will give you some.
If she uses Ultra II, do not desperate. She’s gonna come for you, so stay sharp and keep your head down, whenever she tries to atack you, usually she keeps close so those stupid balls of power can protect her, so c.lp her when she jumps over (whatever attacks she uses) or after a poorly spaced soul spiral, and puff, there goes the ultra, and the pressure game starts… IT ALWAYS WORKS for me.
It is matches like that which make Dudley feel so frustrating to me. I so very rarely run into an actual good Rose player, so I can’t really help. But I have noticed that most Rose players like to be aggressive once they activate ultra 2. So, if you are up close as they activate it, EX upper will eat both orbs on hit. This is just a gamble though, because if Rose blocks the upper, you get hit by the orbs. But most Rose players like to try to go for a mix up and push the offense once they activate, and I find the gamble on the EX UPPER working out more often than not.
Damn, I was hoping you had some sort of uber Option Select there that I could add into my game ;). I’ll try to see if you can just react and tag an opponent with the LP Jet… maybe it is!
If you want an Option Select from the cr.LK, you can do cr.LK, cr.MK + cr.HK. Against most characters, if they dash back, they will get tagged by the cr.HK. That OS is also a target combo, so unmashable, and I usually cancel into LP MGB, to keep the pressure on. Of course it’s not as good as the cr.LK, cr.LP, Stand HK combo for damage, but the trade-off is the ability to stop back-dashing.
Dude, nice, like, really nice.
Imma just gonna copy your shit now, for realz, hot stuff.
Love the duckings to EVERYTHING, brilliant stuff.
Im kinda suprised you dont use fwd mk that much, or was that just due to the matchups? Same with cr lk. (But whatever, you were beasting, so, obviously you were doing it right.)
Good lord!!! The dignified brutality!!
Liquid you are a amazing Dudley.
liquid that dudley’s lookin real classy. I’ve been trying to up my game with the gentleman as well, so I might get at you on xbl for some games. Are you gonna go to the E-Spot on friday by chance?
