Dudley: A Distinguished Thread for Gentlemen Pugilists

can’t wait until I can sport lk colored Dudley

shit man Dudley alone will make SSF4 pretty fucking epic

BODY BODY APPACAWTH!

I was just trying to make my post sound more dramatic. But if it sounds more mysterious if I was trying to achieve something I will accept that too.

See, EX-Hayate travels incredibly fast, knocks down on hit and goes full-screen. To be honest, I don’t think it will have armor or even invincibility. It’s safe on block if done from the right distance though. It looks like fireballs are going to give Makoto trouble, unless her SAII (Ultra I I guess) goes through them. Since she won’t have to wait for a charge like Vega’s Ultra I, her fireball punish will be lethal like Abel’s.

Ibuki won’t have any trouble at all with any mechanics in SSF4 other than the easy, lenient inputs causing trouble for players. Neither will Dudley; the duck and swing move is going to be godlike.

Sorry sir, but HP is the best. Closely followed by start+MK

omguh birusses

Ahhh, it’s working now.

That was my favorite too, followed by red/black

dudley is going to have a whole bunch of ultra setups, you can guarantee that. corkscrew blow and rocket upper were both easily linked into off juggles, i think this fact alone will make him at least mid-tier. he’s definitely in the game too, for the few who still doubt it.

it would be sweet if they gave him an all white outfit that would be hot as shit

TIGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR GATTA TRASH!!!

His black tie outfit is better. Dresses like royalty.

Butler taunt too.

I sure hope his alt is a full on suit, so that at least one character in the game wears one.

pink/white is fantastic, as is the black/red, some of his other coloursare fantastic too but id love to see this one

So, can we get some clarification? Is this thread open just because nobody with closing power has come across it yet, or has it been seen and sanctioned, allowing us to have an Ibuki thread now too based off that old kunai screenshot?

So I saw mention of alt costumes a page or so back.

Come on, guys! You’re missing the obvious! Dudley is a boxing gentleman! If we’re going to go with that then there’s only one route to go.

The 1920s!

No shirt, no gloves, nice shoes. The way a real gentleman fights!

gloveless? now theres an idea, that should have been done for dirty balrog though, lol

If you look at the proto artwork for his 3rd outfit he didn’t have gloves. But they redesigned some for it because they felt they were iconic. I kinda like the spiked gloves they gave him, though.

Maids outfit and boxing gloves for alternate costume.

Also I hope they don’t fuck up the voice acting, it would be hard to.

yea dress him up like the monopoly guy!do not pass go lolz

If he retains most of his 3S move set it’s likely he will be high tier unless significant buffs were given to the rest of the cast.
This can be seen with Akuma, who is nearly identical to his 3S variation when compared to how different ryu/ken/chun turned out. Yet low and behold an enormous amount of akuma’s bullshit traveled over in one form or another from 3S to SF4, basically everything except for the crazy 2nd impact style dive kick. And what happened, akuma became high tier, then gay ass lk hurricane into sweep made him top tier.

I guarantee if standing RH buffered into ex MCB, forward RH, cr RH, the rose or any combination of this Dudley shit remains untouched he will be well on his way to top tiered-ness, that’s not even considering what particular juggle properties his cr RH might have (please no un-techable sweep times 6 Capcom).

If a move be juggled after, you can fast wakeup. I believe that’s how the SFIV juggle system works. As for the six sweeps in a row, I’m not really expecting it. I’m be disappointed if he can’t do two sweeps in MGB in the corner however.

You see. This is why I have to be a hard ass about this. If I let just one very likely, but unofficial, character thread slide I give everyone else free reign to start threads over extremely loose evidence. Sorry gang.

Here’s the deal. This is a PR cock tease. A very, very likely hint that he is making an appearance…but it is still not official. I know. I’m a fucking hater. I’m smothering the hype. Whatever. Discuss the possibility of Dudley being in the game in one of the stickies for now (predictions then?). Oh. The deal part. I’ll reopen THIS thread when it is official (or if someone clarifies…ahem…Seth?). This is a nice thread. Everyone so civil. The topic title isn’t retarded (“all but confirmed”…blech!). Very lovely.

Closed…for now…???

Don’t PM me your hate.
