SSF4 Dudley Match-up Thread

This is questionable at best. Jumping on reaction to vega going for a wall is an easy way to eat Ultra 1, or sky high claw, or whatever the hell the name of down,up punch is. Not to mention im pretty sure vega can izuna drop you right out of a FA.

If he can land it, sure.

anyone?

On the way down dash away from him, or hell, even do something stupid like MGB away from him. He won’t be able to catch you and you’ll both recover pretty slowly…

Rolling Thunder rapes honda. So free. Headbutt? NO THANKS BLOCK => ROLLING THUNDER

all punishable by RT

Bison is a real bitch to get in in on but the way to beat him is to capitalize on every opportunity you get. If you’re at mid range, it’s best just to use standing fierce to pressure him. Once he gets normal happy, you can punish a roundhouse with focus, which will either hit or put him in block stun if you dash forward. (I’m not absolutely sure on this but Dudley’s focus attack, though having quite a bit of range, has pretty shitty blockstun, especially compared to Ibukis). It’s enough to get you in though. When you’re there you can either go for the grab, since they probably want scissors/cr.short, or throw out another crouching jab/strong/short if they stand. The key with Bison is keeping an eye on his meter, as once you grab him enough he’s gonna be forced to escape with ex. PC, which I found I could only be punish by baiting it and hitting him with a standing/forward fierce. Couldn’t get him with EX MGB or Ultra 1.

I honestly think the Bison matchup is pretty easy once you’re in his face, the hardest part is keeping an eye on his meter and knowing when to focus and block low.

Anyone have any tips for shutting down Ibukis stupid retarded broken kunai-mix up?

That is true for every single Blanka ball, but the timing is a lot stricter

Maybe I’m just not playing the right Ibuki’s, but her shit doesn’t seem too tough to block at all. Also, you’re using a character with pretty shitty reversal options. Trying to force your way out with insufficient tools isn’t going to help much.

that desnt work, im talking about how ive been knocked down already, and as im laying down vega is jumping to the wall. as dudleys pulling himself up vegas in the air. as SOON as dudleys standing up vegas grabbed him already =\

So… Cody, wow, thats a tricky match, any one know of any quality vids of how to dismantle this undignified convict?!

Same goes for Chun, sometimes I can get a good smack down on, but if I push to hard I get EX’ed to the far corner or I let one little cr lk get through… (omgwtfULTRA!!!).

It feels like these are gonna be real restrictive matchups, kind of like T hawk (albiet Hawk is MUCH easier to deal with) where you have a very truncated effective move set (again, with Hawk its pretty simple, yet devastating). We just need to isolate said moveset and place a frame work to it.

I have found some little things, but they are far from the whole picture:

Cody has a great deal of low pressure that Dudley has difficulty with, I have yet to find a concrete way of dealing with his safer aspects of this area of his moveset. His anti airs are a bit sketchy, you cannot go to jump in happy, or your just get smacked around, but the J rh to rh to pain is a bit easier on Cody then in other matchups.

Same goes for wake up/ducking in throws, he doesnt have all that spectacular of a wake up game, so a few more of these are warranted.

Other then that im uncertain of my best poking option, and moving forward on the ground is a painful experience against Codys pressure/poke game, any help in this area would be fantastic.

Foucus -> dash -> rh to whatever is ok if he gets slide happy, but his uppercut will blast through your focus much like MGP does, caution required to say the least…

Any one got a few tips?

Random Fun Fact: jumping mk stuffs Hawks dive, lols all around for THAT bit of fun.

That’s what I thought too, someone said ex was the only one not punishable by RT though.

Edit: it does punish it

You could always test it yourself.

so dudleys hp does indeed beat a sumo headbutt from e honda…but man you have to be quick fingered to get the jump, even full screen if its an EX.

Man I can’t wait to see if we have a way to dominate Bison

Dudley v. Bison makes me cry, everytime.

im getting pwnt by sakuras tonight wtf lol

Sakura is top.

Don’t underestimate Sakura

Oh snap, didn’t realise that! I’ll update the guide to account for this when I have time.

just out of curiosity, anyone have any tips on dealing with projectile spam to hard punch. It seems every time I Duck > Duck Upper or the armor breaking one, they just hard punch me out of it. It’s really frustrating.
