Yeah the change to the hitstun state keeps you from linking into Ultra, I believe. Haven’t gotten it once and I don’t think my execution is that awful.
o wow
preddy much can only get a U1 from a CH max range f.HK lol o wow.
Tried on Ryu Cammy Gief Abel and Dud
CH f.HP puts charater in like the hardest “getting hit” animation a character can get put into.
it’s redic but oh well doent really bother my Dudley
I think ch rh. xx lk duck is at least +5. But yeah, forward fierce nerf is pretty dumb.
I think capcom wants Dudley players to stop relying on s.HP and f.HP as their go to move.
I’m thankful for this nerf. It’s perfect
you can now combo after a medium and heavy shortswingblow fadc on hit its +4 or more.
lol wut, reliant on f.HP? that’s so fucking stupid and you’re kidding me. I understand st.HP, but looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool. Why would they think that about a move with such late startup and - on block and +2 on hit which can’t combo unless you can cancel into super on hit confirm or have a meaty setup. But anyway, hit confirm f.HP into u1 is as hard as using Yun and Fei Long.
f.HP is his way of getting in and hoping to stay in. Capcom is pretty stupid anyway, not like they understood what was going on with dudley. lol @ buffing air to air normals when they’ve never needed any tweaking because he already has some of the better air to air normals anyway and using high low mixups after upon landing. Makes sense.
And also CH st.HK xx LK Duck is +4, not +5.
edit: because I didn’t test f.HP yet, is it even possible to link f.HP > cr.MP/st.HK anymore as a meaty?
Meaty f.HP > st.HK still works.
Lol like Dudley had anything good enough to need toning down. Late f.HP st.HK was good but not reliable thanks to the reelback on hit of some characters. CH stHK with increased pushback lol Does this mean catching limbs (like Bison stMK, Chun stMP) at max range with stHK LK duck stHK might not work?
Did they fix meaty crLK crLP stHK whiffing on Balrog?
kthnxbrah.
might upload some FADC Rose high low setups out of boredom. Rheel just gave me some nice ideas.
be thaknful they didnt nerf his damage/stun
You know how many times my Dudley has been compared to SF3 Makoto?
I don’t understand how you see any nerf for this character as a good thing.
Tools > numbers
Every variation of every target combo is the same frame advantage/disadvantage on block. So much for some of those -2’s becoming +2’s…
but it’s alright, my jump jab has more active frames…

Like fishing Rheel? bahaha
Capcom just wants Dudley players to think more.
You saw Marn vs Flash right?
He didnt even know how to anti air gief wen he had ultra 2.
Just used s.HP lol
Well this CH nerf is definitely ugly. But I think it is hardly a deal breaker for me.
you just killed me
lol still don’t understand why they took away his st.HK on hit and CH from Super. Don’t even give me the “capcom wants Dudley players to stop relying on s.HP and f.HP as their go to move” excuse because that’s just straight bullshit.
I’m loving cr.MK and Victory Rose FADC a bit. I’m not too fond with the DP buffs because they don’t have inv strike, I guess you have 1 extra frame to hit your trade DP.
Agreed on the “capcom wants dudley players to think more.” Dudley is a character that gets nothing for free as it is. He doesn’t get wins without a lot of thought. As it stands though, the cr. MK buff does a whole lot for his game IMO.
So I am going to (partially) sarcastically take credit for Ono speeding up cr. MK thanks to my incredibly undignified begging and pleading at Evo.
lol undignified begging. It was worth it. Also, can someone check if cr.HP had been buffed to 6 frame startup? I just spoke to renegade on psn and he told me, but I wasn’t even sure if it’s true. I guess that’s why people are saying it’s so easy to connect f.MK > cr.HP on CH? Someone confirm please? I can’t get on xbox so if anyone does before I do please let me know.
Fuck is up with all this whining? I’m loving the buffs so far, c.mk just stops shit dead. my footsie game just got jacked with steroids. Thank you capcom. for giving me a more solid character at the cost of a few pointless combos.
