THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING! Shit look’s deadly. Judging by the angle i’m assuming it’s an ultra. Wonder if Rolling Thunder will be an Ultra or Super. (please be ultra, please be ultra, please be ultra) (with mash!)
Ok, since this is the Dudley thread–I’m starting to think about possibilities with Dudley in terms of competitive play in SSF4. I already figure that Vega, Dhalsim, and Ryu are potentially tough matchups for Dudley but I think once he gets in–he’ll be able to mix things up. More likely in the beginning its going to seem as if he’s going to have to fish for FA to potentially get in but I think that won’t last at all or even really be that effective outside of online play possibly. Its also going to be hard for him to get EX as fast since the SF4 engine by default doesn’t allow meter building with normals. Ducking, depending on speed and recovery might be a good way to build meter, cover ground, and make for good reset setups possibly. FADC will definitely help me to stay safe alot more since even if you do happen to miss a combo into EX MBG, you can still FADC out. The mixture of FADC capability and his EX moves–Dudley is going to be the total mixup character. I think his main issue will be getting in–especially with a game that has such strong roots to SF2.
Anyway, I hope this leads to some cool discussion about what he can do, albeit being theory fighter since there’s no footage and gameplay vids of him. I’m just hype–so discuss.
“Fight like a gentleman… live like a gentleman!”
Just had to say that. Congrats on Dudley everyone :china:
Huh. I woulda thought that Corkscrew Blow would have been his super, but I guess not. Rocket Uppercut for super, Rolling Thunder and Corkscrew Blow Ultras.
Posting in gentlemanly thread.
never realised i was posting a page in the past
yes i agree i hope rolling thunder with mash is ultra 1
or actually, with mash might make it a good super, id like to have a corcscrew/rolling thunder mix tbh
This is the first time i actually got happy about a ssf4 update. Looks like dudley will be my main character.
Yeah, corkscrew blow being non-cancellable might be weird but he’ll probably be able to juggle it off of oh… anything.
Appears Dudley got that airborne punch he had in the first 2 versions of SF3 back
To start: any one have idea’s on Dudley’s stats? I see him having Rog strength, 1050 health(maybe 1000) to composate for his footies, and okay pokes. I don’t think Capcom will make him have the same stats as Rog, since D-man be about offense and pressure, where Rog excels at defensive pressure.
That leaves potential for a weird hit confirm combo of Standing Strong into Ultra, or at least Counter Hit Standing Strong into Ultra. Both would be range dependent if even possible–I’m only going by the fact that Chun can do Standing Strong (Counter Hit) into Ultra and Dudley could actually hit confirm the Standing Strong in his target combos into Corkscrew blow in 3s. He could also hit confirm alot of normals into Rolling Thunder in 2i, I believe.
Dork Note: He has “Thunderbolt” from 2i.
Katakana is ( ???-???aka English phonetic, “Sa-n-Da Bo-Ru-To”
Balrog there’s a new boxer up in this mother be ready
What i’m more concerned about is how his corner game will possible suffer with SSFIV’s engine. Unless they changed a few things up, i doubt he’ll be able juggle people like he used to…But the video might suprise us.
lol i said the same thing to my group of friends. gonna miss haircut though, let him get back to his family.
The juggles have to be in, otherwise it won’t be Dudley. Even if they tone down his damage a little, he has to have most of his old setups. Capcom knows that. It’s why they reintroduced chains to Gen on the count of having to give them to Guy.
I really hope that they didnt take away short swing blow and gave him that drill move from 2i.
Please i want SSB.
I’ll still be sticking with Chun, however, my main is now set in stone.
<----Looking forward to seeing this vs screen, minus my lack luster, and granted lazy bg.
Today’s fact:
Dudley’s voice actor is not Francis Diakowsky. Nor does he sound like him.
Not unless your Sagat, I don’t think Dudley will be like his 3S self.
I see Duds has his Thunderbolt from 2I back. That thing better armor break or else it’ll be just as shitty as it was in 2I.
