Dudley: A Distinguished Thread for Gentlemen Pugilists

lol, there’s no official statement about his nationality except that he hails from England. Works for me. Ryu doesn’t look Japanese either.

One can be interested in or inspired by a certain part-aspect of a philosophy without actually supporting it to its fullest. I can take a certain aspect of, say, Confucianism and follow it without being a Confucianist myself.

Dudley doesn’t claim to be from the 19th century, he just is a gentleman. But you have no dignity if you continue this shitfest, so I’d ask you to stop cluttering this wonderful thread with gutter trash.

Dudley stance here looks like his is walking and not standing still.

exactly what I thought initaly it seems he is doing his footwork dance when he just stands still

SSFIV PC will see 12 Jamie Foxx mods for Dudley every week.

ppl seem to forget that dudley pretty much dances, he doesnt stand still, also, his model resembles his art, and his art resembles his 3s art (yes, it really does, look

as for his nose, its stupid big in some pics, and looks good in others, i like it now

as for his nationality, he clearly isnt white british english, i reckon he would have had a white mother to look the way he does, regardless of a black/indian father, but dudley is clearly born and bread true english gentlemen,

there is no need to try and figure where his blood is from, you arent supposed to, if they said his father was nigerian, u wouldnt put dudley as nigerian, he is still british, just like sol campbell, no one talks about where he is from, he is english british, so what if he is black

as for his boobs, i totally called it, and it does look odd inthat picture, even though his model appears to look fine, cos its the model animated over isnt it? they should just shape it up a little, cos the angle and colouring makes it look like a boob rather then huge chest like in my link above

in other news, I FUCKING LOVE DUDLEY

Are you kidding? Dudley looks like the boxers from the old school era i.e the 30s-50s. During that time many black men wore perms. Look at Sugar Ray Robinson for instance. I think with his features, the hair and mustache throws everyone off the most. His new portrait looks a bit odd, he doesn’t look as distinguished as his previous pictures. However the in game model looks like a straight up black man lol.

His character portrait looks superb, even better than his 3S counterpart. However, his in-game model looks very…different. Maybe it’s because he younger in this game, but he looks thinner and smaller which is a bad thing.

Race War topic:

Can somebody do a quick photoshop and lighten up his skin in the character portrait?

What would lighting up the skin do?

Rolling Thunder probably has limited juggle applications, but I bet it goes through fireballs and does HUGE damage (Abel’s ultra-esque). You can choose a highly versatile combo option, or one that limits fireballs from full screen and gets minimal aerial juggles (like Fei Long or mid-screen Chun) for small damage.

Seems like a fair, and expected, trade-off to me.

Hmm… Sounds reasonable enough for me… I wonder if you have to mash punches for extra gentlemanly damage?

O-O~

Has anybody addressed the fact that damage scaling makes target combos nearly useless? Isn’t that kinda what dudley is about?

I dont understand dudley, they have boxer based on goddamned mike tyson right.

And they make dudley, a total random.

Why not replicate muhhamad ali? serioushly… would have been much cooler. and none of his normals would attack the body, all his attacks would be swoops to the face :smiley:

And just like in SF3 series, it’ll never be picked. “Highly versatile combo option” always beats high damage.

i think i understand why he says lighten his skin but u dont need to, the close up of his models face probably from his entrace is lighter, the screen shot of the fight v t hawk has clearly got uber contrast cos its off screen

Glad to see Dudley in, didnt really had fun playin Rog in SF4.

<<— ST Rog player.

I still believe he is white because he has blue eyes. So I’m just wondering what he would look like with lighter skin.

There are no boxers in britain, no siree!

there’s nothing random about Dudley.

This thread is great. I’ll have to read through the full thing again tomorrow while drinking from my earl grey, and eating my crumpet breakfast. :smiley:

You do know that there are black people with blue eyes right? I have a few friends who are black with blue eyes hah. Try googling it.
