Dudley Changes in Arcade Release(updated1stpost)

You can cancel the Duck after 3 frames into the Straight or Upper. The moves are not 3 frames.

Dudley looks so damn powerful in AE.
holy shit frame traps.
Better than Cody, eff EX rocks

I knew it, I knew they would make f.mk even better f.mk > f.mk >, c.lp > fmk

Can’t wait to try it out, top notch frame traps while pressuring I mean, gonna pull that so much agaisnt characters that have to guess and block and not mash an uppercut, lol.

Just saw that video and Marn traded F.mk twice against 2 c.jab (or maybe it was 2 crouching techs!) balrog players will cry everywhere when a c.jab followed by a f.mk trade right in his face

Wow… From a c.jab > f.mk ’ get 125 damage counterhit here’ and an easy hit confirm followup c.jab 2x into s.hk

wow…hahaha…wow, people better block and become good techers now

We can’t fix the easy mode reversals and hardcore dragon punches, but this game just got even better

Question… is short swing blow any different? or is it still shit and only used for situational purposes?

so is there wall bounce after ex ducking straight? i can’t find too much footage where ex ducking is used/

no it doesn’t cause wall bounce.

damn that woulda been to sexy. any special properties on ex ducking juggle?

what hell does that mean.

Also ya f.MP looks like a viable move now since it’s not even on block "0 on block"
ever hit confirm a counter hit f.MP into s.HK in SSF4? shit’s gonna get real in AE

thirtyfour how is the short swing blow in AE?

havnt played AE yet. No Arcades in Delaware.

Nothing’s in Delaware not even Evo online

No tournaments in Delaware btw

Lol even in Bucharest we had a torunie, and we meet bi-weekly for offline sesions.

I used to live 30 ins away (driving) from Guard Crush.
Now I live in Delaware.

Also with all the AE changes… Having a Ryu escape the corner with tatsu today made me not want to play until DLC is at least announced. (he was still punished by EX MGB > Ultra 2

It’s nice to look at the outputs and get happy. Don’t let your eyes glaze over all these numbers in excitement. You should all really be asking yourself “Did Dudley get what he needed to cover his weaknesses in AE?” The answer to that question may not be the one you want to hear.

EX Duck beats high pokes
Probably middle too, noone’s tested middle pokes (vega’s c.MP)

Short Swing Blow seems relatively unchanged, you still get poked out and it still beats standing tech. EX Short Swing Blow doesn’t whiff last hit on small crouching characters (so far)

New EX Ducking combo, might be quite practical because I don’t think it’s character specific.
**
Cr.HK, Lk Ducking Straight, EX Ducking Upper.**

Solid damage, clearly stronger than MGB and Jet Upper enders at the cost of one EX bar.

Does at least mk duck straight after cr.hk work on Adon now?That guy is a bitch to juggle.

No changes to any character in AE made certain matchups better, the changes did make some worse or reaffirm that “these are your bad matchups, deal with it or learn a secondary”. The changes just defined what type of character they are better and made escaping not as “free” for lack of a better word. Look at the changes closely and you’ll understand.

Dudleys bad matchups consist of characters that keep him out with gdlk normals.

Hopefully with Dudley’s hitboxes supposidly being better and a faster recovering s.hk those matchups will get a little easier.
With Guile being nerfed that matchup should be slightly better.
Rog is nerfed but his normals are still going to be a pain.
Sim nerfed is great news.

Chun I dono. I havent heard much about her changes that warrant a big change in the matchup. I think itll be a bitch still.

I think AE Gief is going to become his new hardest matchup. Longer range lp spd is baaaaaad for dudley since almost every offensive option you do is spd punishable. Matchup is going to have to be played even lamer than you have to play it now. F+hp seems like it just became a much worse idea unless you space PERFECTLY everytime.

Any update on the rose? Sorry if its been asked and answered but I learned a long time ago not to read through 20 odd pages of a thread on SRK if I want to keep my sanity.

f+HP isn’t LP SPD punishable
