"Great!" Cody General Discussion thread

[Eternal]

Something I’m surprised wasn’t in here and we’ve always needed. Things that don’t belong in the match up thread, or the critique thread. Basically anything we’ve been using the “2014” thread for as of late should go in here. Asking questions about specific move properties, ranting about issues, general talk about your tournament experiences as of late. That kind of stuff.

I’ll start off:

I just requested (and was immediately approved) for an account to edit the SRK wiki. So I’ve been working on Cody first (obviously). One of the things that James Chen wanted to add in the new ultra wiki was a “Uses and Strategies” section for each move. I’ve only just started filling em out (starting from the bottom because I was doing the frame data tables first.

Thought I’d get some feedback on some of the statements.

Example:

Intended to be used to get past zoning or some pokes. The startup is rather slow so you need a good read on the opponent for when to use it, such as between a blocked crouching MK and a buffered fireball. The distance traveled isn’t particularly far so it may be difficult to get around zoning using it raw. However since most character extend their arms during their fireball animation you can usually hit them from farther out than you’d expect. The EX Version is Cody’s main wakeup tool. It is extremely slow at 16F startup. It’s not effective once the opponent knows how to fight it, however the move is fully invincible for the entire start up of the attack and this can throw off some opponents. The ex versions invincibility can also be used to help get Cody up close to frame trap, if it’s blocked he can FADC it and frame trap. If it hits he can FADC and combo into ultra 1 or many other moves. EX Focus canceling the regular zonk knuckles will grant no combo options as it uses all juggle potential on hit.

That’s my strategy / uses for Zonk.

Thanks for your hard work. I’m glad to see people work on Cody stuff.
