Dudley Q&A: Let's learn... like Gentlemen!

Ah i see

And i know of it, but wondering if it’ll work well with the SIXAXIS, seems more like a stick kinda thing

Tried it one time and wasn’t even sure if it was working lol

I’m not sure if it’s working or if I’m doing right, but if it’s the placebo effect making me hit these links more often, then so be it because I’m hitting these links more lol.

Alternative to f. MK s. HK is f. MK cr. LP s. HK.

f. MK s HK is a 2 frame link, f. MK cr. LP is 3 frame link iirc.

Haha, that’s the thing, the placebo effect will probably work but i really wanna understand the timing lol, felt so good finally doing c.LP s.HK

Gonna give f.MK c.LP a go and if i can get the timing

That one’s pretty easy since crouch jab is like the fastest move Dudley has. You have two frames to land it on hit. Also, you can definitely plink on a controller, so you’re probably hitting it. Finally just in case you wanted to know Fwd. MK is +5 on hit and St. Roundhouse is a 4 frame move, so you gotta do it pretty quickly after you land the Fw. Mk.

f.mk > s.hk is actually fairly easy. I actually do it without plinking. But to be honest. I’ve found that when I do plink moves on my stick… I do notice that I hit the link a bit more. But my mind completely draws a blank and I fail to cancel to MGB or Duck. Plinking turns me into an idiot for a split second. I need to practice with it.

f.mk to cr.lp is a 3 frame link. cr.lp hits on 3rd frame so you can combo it if it hits on the 3rd, 4th, or 5th frame after f.mk.

How do you guys feel about buffering EXMGB after doing a st hk just outside of an opponents poke range? Is this viable? I’ve heard some people mention it. Is it a good counter poke?

I did it once Vs ryus cr mk…

I do it a lot vs Zangiefs. It is ok to do as the only way you will get the EX MGB to come out is on hit.

Hate to admit it

But im having issues landing his ducking follow ups after a a ex MGB, i have like a 20% success rate with D.upper and even lower with straight hp upper. anyone got any random tips for the timing?

That depends on if you’re not getting the move out or just straight whiffing. I wait until just after Dudley has finished the launcher part of EX Machine Gun Blow to do the ducking input.

ducking upper is easy. just do the motion fairly early and mash on kick.

So I’m trying to learn this guy because I really like his play style (plus i love boxers i used balrog in vanilla lol). Can someone help me with f.mk - s.hk. I know you can’t really help me with timing, but is there some meathod you guys used to learn it besieds practice(we talking boout practice?!). Also I can only connect standing hk to MGB but I think that’s just more of a muscle memory thing.

After you land f.mk pause a little bit and then input st.roundhouse.

Do you usually do it too early or late (Ie is the move not coming out or is it being blocked/whiff?) Typically when I get a problem with a link like that, I deliberately do it a tiny bit too late/early (opposite of what I habitually do) and then usually my nerves will balance it out.

Or try plinking.

even though Fmk Chk Ex MGB does alot of dmg, if your starting out learn his cLp cLp sHk Ex MGB combo first, its easier and builds more meter. its a simple Bnb that will get you into the groove of dudley

Where are you getting that info from? Even if there is no meter gain scaling for combos, those combos build the same amount of meter at least.

Meter building scales as well as damage and stun. Doing lots of little hits usually doesn’t build that much meter.

I don’t know if this belongs here but I’ll ask anyway since this is Dudley’s only Q&A:

What is Dudley’s real secondary character? Some say Akuma, some say Chun Li (monster pokes)…some say Rose because she does pretty evenly against Guile while AKuma has an advantage over Guile and some other hard matchups.

Ill say rufus is a pretty good secondary character for dudley, easy as hell to play so you dont need mad training that other good characters would require you can play a decent rufus in 1 month or so and he does pretty well against chun/rose/akuma and many others that give dudley trouble.

Akuma is never a bad idea, but he requieres a lot of time to play him properly and dudley is a time sink himself if you want to play him to his full potential.

I stopped using Akuma because he just wasn;t my type of character. I’m a rush down type of person and want to do some real damage, AKuma is good for that, but damn he requires a commitment of time and patience. :\

I don’t really like Rufus like that simply because I have a pad and sometimes his dive kick doesnt come out…(because I did all his trials and his dive kick was annoying on pad) I’ll see what I can do. Any other suggestions…? My friend said Guile, and I almost vommited
