"We finished practicing now?" Cody Match-up Thread

LDD stands for Last Dread Dust, which is the name of Cody’s Ultra 2

on that note i always find myself wishing i had U1 instead since i almost always have 2 ex bars and i always end up being able to hk ruffian something and cancel it into u1…

sighi think i may just stick with u1 for all matchups other than bison and fireballers, despite its great versatility in punishing laggy stuff and chip damage

442

Ok, I know this is going to sound like a retarded scrubby question, but what’s the best counter to Guy’s air jump special throw thing? Seems like he grabs me out of whatever I’m doing.

443

Thanks, and on a side note I only use u2 now. I love having the option to punish mistakes by players. It is also great for offensive mixups. U1 just scales so bad to me its not worth it. I’d rather have the meter and use it for offence and try to get the stun then save it for u1.

The flip can only grab you if you’re standing or jumping. Cr. MK is your best bet.

If you’re talking about his special air throw then: Don’t jump. If you do jump and expect the air throw stick out an early jumping jab or strong.

446

I still don’t get how people can love U2 better than U1,

Im playing with U1 and it’s working better than U1 i think.

maybe i’m just using U2 wrong but whenever I try to punish stuff I only get the sand hit, and thats not worth it.
Like people say it punishes bisons headstomp, but how?? the only way I was able to punish is if the bison player is stupid enough and tries to land in front of me after doing it, and in that case I only with the sand.

So, can someone explain how exactly you punish with U2? and if its all timing, then that means that the timing is too hard for me to see that as a viable option, whereas I can just HK ruffian FADC u1 and guarantue a full hit.

447

You’re not timing it right so that the sand hits when they are on the ground.

448

IM FUCKING SICK AND TIRED of these motherfucking ryus crawling all over the fucking place. Man that fafg is such and overused fuckface-. FFS. How the fuck do i beat him?
-Me venting after losing to some of the most annoying ryus…

449

With proper spacing, I’ve noticed a Crack Kick can punish a blocked dive as well.

And it’s odd, because Cody’s rocks aren’t projectile hitboxes. They’re regular physical attack hitboxes. Does that mean it can hit EX Condo Spire? And maybe EX Blanka Ball too?

450

i dont know about condo spire, but i know 100% that it will not hit an ex blanka ball

I was just wondoring. Any of you guys having trouble with the old cast? By far Bison, Rog, Abel, and any other character that can lock me down int he corner really well is killin me. AND I PLAY BISON! I can’t figure this shit out you guys. I play with AndyOCR, so I would assume I could figure shit out with him, but it seems the more I play Bison, the worse the match up feels.

So far what I’ve learned against Bison:

  1. You gotta play footsies.
  • it’s tough. His cr. shorts/mk will stuff alot of your rush down game so you actually have to go a bit slower/smarter against him.
  • cr.mk will go under his st.hk if you’re further away and he’s already poked it out.
  1. STAY AWAY FROM CORNERS.
  • the sk loop is your worst enemy, if you can load up an ex zonk and bait it out than you’re home free,but if he blocks it get ready to eat a shit load of damage.
  • you can stop SK with jab, sweep, cr.mk, cr.mp, cr. fierce
  • there’s not much you can do to punish him, it’s either you wait it out and eat the chip, or risk it by doing something like NJ. fierce.
  1. Ground game is your best bet.
  • he can do alot of stuff to knock you out the sky, such as mpx2 in the air (into Ultra)
  • HK will knock you out the air/prevent you from jumping.

That’s it, other than that I’ve been losing. Someone give some info to give an upper hand against this guy.

453

Sorry guys havent been around.

Ill be updating the page and adding an update counter. AT request.

Also , Sanchez thanks a ton for the detailed write ups man.

454

i dont know if anyone talked about this but seth is hard s hell for cody. Anyone got any advice?

455

I FOUGHT YOU! lol

456

j hp beats bisons s hk clean if timed almost right before halfway through the time

dont c mk after a thrown s hk just sweep his ass and start the pressure

there is no need to jump unless bison is knocked down, use rocks to bait jumps or ex pc (can fake rock to bait it out, but most smart bisons dont do that) u have nothing to worry about in the air as back n mp and c mk are your friends

its a tough matchup that is reliant on whoever gets the 1st knockdown, but once cody has his U2 on deck it severely limits bisons options to the point where he must play footsies and never attempt a hs or dr or PC

457

I know all those options. That’s not the problem. The problem is what you limited him to FOOTSIES. He’ll rape you for free with his normals. Honestly, I haven’t had such a hard time fighting ANYONE including Balrog or Akuma besides Bison. He feels like it’s on another level.

458

I thought I had already posted my VS Balrog business. So sorry guys. I’ll find the notepad document I type my bullshit in and put it up tomorrow along with my shit VS Gouken.

I haven’t had the luck to play a decent Bison, but as a former dedicated Bison player(I did cross up Psychos in Nilla, nyukkas!) I can see how the match can be annoying. Hopefully I’ll run into AndyOCR or Hugo101 soon and get the chance to test some ideas.

And Ayo, having never played or even seen your Cody I can only say this: You probably suck.

459

Oh sanchez… You’re words of encouragement touch my heart. Although I have heard you been on it at WNF, and you’ve gotten mad props. Hopefully I run into you at AI.

? Where? When?
