Dudley's v.2012 balance changes. (BETA)

if capcom does something, nerf/buff the vids explanation of duds aka level 1 poke vids and other vids might need to be altered

just a reminder.

Actually giving some thought there are 2 buffs i’d want.

J.HP to have a bigger hitbox so it hits ppl crouching.

Short swing blow armor breaking and neutral on block all versions also after counterhit with mp and hp ssb have time to combo after like with lp ssb.

More health + damage for all his moves.

Same health + moves that actually work consistently

If anything I would want better range on c.mk. Giving it more active frames was kinda half-assing it, IMO.

They will escape, if they did not Dudley wouldn’t have bad matchups, your words can’t proof otherwise, heck, I shouldn’t even anwser that… The dreams are still dreams, let me get the 5 frames invulnerable uppercuts and the 1 frame startup CC in there too for you to say no without explaining why, like you did with everybody in this thread, the ultra 1 wat thing makes no sense since it would be good versus dhalsim and chun with some buffs, the range is not enough for any of these two to drop the fireballs and let you in, when they get into the ultra range they will just poke.

f.mk s.hk / f.mk s.mp s.hk / f.mk s.mp s.mp s.hk / f.mk c.mp s.hk/ c.hp s.hk, include jumpins or punishes that allows you to jump, show me which character can dish out more punish damage with about 1 to 2 bars and you win, if you are including mixups in the output thing you clearly didn’t get what I said and had viper/ibuki/akuma in mind, these overall have obviously more damage…

QFT.

are you on my friend’s list

SSB is brilliant now. I wouldn’t mind MK SSB being only -2 on block though.

I have no idea why they changed st.HK but I would love the old one back. st.HK xx Empty Duck was a big loss in the Bison match up.

Slightly faster cr.MK. 8 frames start up instead of 10 would make it a lot easier to whiff punish opposing lows with and still make it impossible to combo into from normal hit confirms. Maybe a bit better range, along with cr.HK which should hit up to the tip of the gloves.

I’d be happy with that. He’s got an abundance of tools as it is.

what do you mean? ex ssb was the only thing that was changed.

So, I just got back from Evo. I got to meet Ono, and Neo G at the SFxT panel and I personally asked him to speed up cr. MK. I am sure my request will go unheard in the reblance, but I thought it was funny when I talked with them both about how strong Dudley was in SF3, and how bad he is in SF4 and they both agreed with me.

lol i lied, there is one more buff i’d like dudley to get to have people think twice before using a focus on dudley. it’d be his duck straight not push back as far so we would be able to combo after it =D that would be the best buff ever, i’d keep that rather then buffing thunderbolt/cr.mk

Nice, buffs are expected then.

I don’t know your gamertag, most likely not.

nice dude! hope he gets alot of buffs now.

this thing needs buffs?

no

good stuff. i hope he listens to you. btw how’d you do at evo?

I went 3-2. Beat a Rog first round, then played Shady K’s Yun (who got out of our bracket in winners). He won 2-0 but I kept it really close each game. the second game came down to a pixel for each of us, but he chipped me out. Then I beat some random Gief in losers who I stunned with some 4-6 fierce punches in a row (probably the highlight of the tournament for me). Beat an Adon who was decent and then I got eliminated by a solid Honda player who wound up being the guy to get out of our bracket in losers.

Not exactly the performance I was hoping for, but shit was fun and intense on a level I have not experienced at any local tournament. Hopefully both Dudley and I will be better next year. Also, doing well with Dudley seems to be a good way to get the crowd to root for you. He is definitely a likable character for spectators.

of course the crowd loves good Dudleys, but when they see bad Dudleys they’ll just laugh. lol stunning gief. That gief probably though he was gonna win EVO with those buffs. But yeah good stuff. How is the stage fright? Honda’s… I think Dudley > Honda in AE. Maybe he stopped signed too much but EX Duck Upper > that shit clean. and it pushes him into the corner, plus if ex duck upper hits only once, you duck straight for solid anti air damage. That’ll get honda scared and he will try to walk up. But his normals aint good, so you take it from there.

Normally I am really good at counter poking Honda’s normals, but this guy was really on point about staying grounded, not throwing random reversals and just chipping with hands. I think the match up is basically even in AE. I won’t discredit that dude for anything, he played a smart, patient game. Even while my loud mouth friends were talking shit to him the entire match. I was mostly over the stage fright after I beat the Rog player in the first round, I was terribly paranoid of getting scrubbed out to a random Rog. I forgot how different that match feels offline though, and didn’t have a problem.

And yeah the shit talk people were saying after that Gief match was harsh. I have a feeling that dude wasn’t having a good time.

ok ok. bring it to the social. lets get back on track here.

dudley needs a car into…
