Art mode: My only thing…they slimmed Dudley’s upperbody down a little bit. Part of what made his III character design really unique was that he was wide on top and sleaked downwards in a pleasing way. Like a bull…or an hourglass missing the bottom bulb. Or…well…like a rose (guess they have me there). Gave a sense of power up top and nimbleness on bottom.
The illustration in that spread is a major clue they may have not followed his III concept super close. Who knows in…3D it may translate though…and I’m not the art director…I can’t really tell wtf is up with his upperbody yet. Done babbling and knit picking.
Probably will take place as my second char along with El Fuerte
Just bring “Leave alone” theme back and it will be perfect, IMO, tis better than “You blow my mind”
I just hope some of his juggles are still viable in this game just like everyone else. Wonder if cross counter might be even useful if he even has it. It would probably regen health after first attack but again it might not be in it at all.
I have “profound sadness” about Diakowsky not reprising his voice role for Dudley but in the end–I can get over it. Would’ve been nice though. I’m just thinking more about how he will handle a game that is so predicated on zoning and spacing with out anything like parry to make his transition comfortable. This isn’t to say parry is the end-all be-all for 3s because it isn’t but against characters like Dhalsim, Vega, Ryu, Sagat–I definitely see him having problems in SSF4. With that said though, I think he’ll still be good he just needs to get in is all. I think if anything that’s the first thing I’d explore is his matchups with Dhalsim, Sagat, Ryu, Vega ( although Vega doesn’t have much priority in SF4 unless that changes in Super).
All I want to see is Dudley fight Suit Seth that would be cool as hell . Anyway I’m beyond hyped right now time to go long on street fighter anniversary sf3 third strike and beat some west coast stragglers
As Johnnyturk said, there were already some pages. The thread was started last saturday, and closed later that night. Sosage promised us if we go official confirmation, he’d reopen this thread…so, Here we are ol’ chaps.
TDeneka: Given the nature of taunts in SF4, I would hope that they’ve promoted the rose to a full special move, hopefully something with a motion that isn’t vulnerable to shortcut idiosyncracies.
Done babbling and knit picking.
