Because it’s not frame tight Seth can auto correct DP and it works.
The one after ultra? I thought it was spaced so the j hp would’ve made it whiff, saying that… I bet he could’ve crouched it and done a shortcut dp anyways.
.:EDIT:.
After watching it back I think you’re right, wasn’t really meaty at all. He gets up before the hp is active.
Hey guys, played at our weekly here in SD last Thursday and was on stream 3 times, looking to get some tips on my matches, played the same Blanka twice and a Balrog.
Matches are at 31:30~ , 1:37:16~, and 1:50:00~.
edit: oops meant to post this in the critique thread
Not really practical or anything but if a opponent quick rises after a medium kick ruffian you can dash forward > s.mk (will hit meaty) and combo into ult 2
Wow! Need to try that out. It sounds too sick.
Apparently Momochi is gone to Ken fulltime. That leaves us with only Sasaki really. 
Ken is still better than Akuma.
Of course! Haven’t you been following the AE Rebalance thread? Akuma is barely average 
i wish i could disagree but with a reason [my savior has left me :(]
I played his Cody at CEO, I have it on video but dont really want everyone see me get bodied xd
Well at least he still plays it in casuals. Ultradavid said he asked him and he is pretty much going Ken only now which likely means no Cody in tournaments. Frankly I can’t think of a single matchup that Cody plays better than Ken by more than a miniscule amount but there are a bunch Ken does a lot better than Cody (Rufus/Akuma/Cammy being big ones). The ONLY matchups I can imagine picking Cody over Ken in a tournament setting are Gouken and THawk and frankly how often are you going to see them?
Even though he used Ken against Fei, I think Cody handles Fei better than Ken. Otherwise yes, most of the matches Cody does better than Ken in are not matches you are going to see much at the tournament level.
Worst part is that I saw Sasaki pop into a endless lobby on twitch, and he was using Ken lol. I mean, he’s always used Ken, but it was sad to see. If Sasaki and Momochi both switched to Ken, it’d be a sad day for Cody players.
Also adon and honda are much better for cody than ken (imo).
Adon maybe, Honda no way. Honda is easier for Ken as zoning with Hadoken, cr.HP / DP is much easier than zoning with Badstone/ b.MP / HK Ruffian. Plus Ken is much better at crossing up Honda to make him lose charge and has better mixups on a knockdown and Honda can’t abuse buttstomp quite as much in the matchup. Not to mention that IF Honda does get Ken in the corner Ken has coward copter to get out while Cody just has to force his way out through footsies.
The only real advantage Cody has over Ken in the matchup IMO is that Cody can much more effectively punish a blocked MP/HP Headbutt.
I don’t think that Cody is significantly worse but I think Ken is most certainly better in that matchup. Adon is probably more advantageous for Cody thanks to Cody’s far HK/HP anti airs and Zonk beating air jaguar kick and jaguar tooth if timed properly.
A collection of reversals options that Cody can avoid using a level 3 Zonk knuckle if you don’t want to spend the meter for EX Zonk.
BJ Unchained played a bunch of matches against Mike Ross at Valle’s house the other night, including two first to fives (back to back, might as well have been first to 10)
First set was 5-4 for BJ second set was 5-2 for Mike Ross. Overall, other than Cody’s far HK it seemed a tough match. The only advantage I saw Cody has that is a bitch compared to Ken is Cody’s MK ruffian is an easy punish against MP/HP headbutt and honda has a lot of trouble with Cody’s far HK.
If Cody could hitconfirm his cr.LK it’d be a much better matchup, but because he can’t it means Cody takes a huge risk with cr.LK - MK Ruffian buffers if Honda walks forward and blocks the cr.LK.
http://www.twitch.tv/leveluplive/b/427880012 <-- archive. BJ comes over around the 2:50 mark and stays for a long time. Lots of good matches between BJ and Mike, Valle, Jayce, Sonny, and AndyOCR, all worth watching.
@Eternal I hate the MU because you really don’t get any “free” pressure on knockdown. AFAIK, you can’t OS Hondas options, so he basically get’s out for free when knocked down, almost creating a mix-up on you if you jump in. If he has zero meter, the best OS is, IMO, to jump in and OS a HK Ruffian. This will beat out LK Buttsplash, but lose to LP Headbutt, which you can’t even punish. If you OS with EX Zonk, you actually can punish the LK Buttsplash with cr.lk xx anything, but if he does MK, HK or EX Buttsplash, he gets out and you can’t punish it. And if he has EX meter and you don’t, the only thing you get out of a safe jump is eating a bit of chip. He of course burns one meter, but who cares? HHS is safe on block and a good way to build meter, not to mention whiffed oicho grab, due to Cody’s sub-par walkspeed.
Let me know what I’m doing right and wrong.
