I’ve meatied Ibuki’s U2 with standing RH. Fun Trade.
i did her u1 similarly w/a back+strong… 
I watched Yeb play yesterday. Pretty solid. Wish he posted more…
I wish more people spoon fed me ideas and strategies instead of having to come up with my own.
Wait, no I dont!
^^ that’s cuz you suck =P
I don’t know if anyone has posted this or not, but for Rufus if he is using U2, EX Zonk, U1, and lk Dead End Irony will all beat it clean. EX CU, U2 and any other version of the super loses badly.
More fun in Last Dread Dust failures…
“Ha! I baited out your counter ultra Fei Long! Time to pull out my all-purpose-punisher…oh, dammit. Dammit!”

I’m really having a hard time with Cody against mid to high level sim players, any tips on this matchup? What I may need to look for? I’ma go to SFS tourney this year and Arturo Sanchez will be there his sim is nasty I’m not hoping to beat that but I’d like to start my way on learning this matchup very well, its a rare match-up online so when ever someone picks him it takes me by surprise.
If you wanna be succesful in tournament you have to learn how to counter pick. You cant go in with cody alone and expect to do well. Even sabin has 3 characters. All the poeple that cody cant beat guy and abel can. Thats my two cents good luck. And honestly i felt like i shouldnt have said that lol.
how do we deal with ibuki who keep mixing up her attack with the thru body dash?
I need help vs Dictator. I can’t AA his jump ins because of his weird jump, and then I get stuck in block strings all day, followed by more cross ups with weird jumps that I can’t AA. Help please
if u cant AA his jump ins, just use CMK.
to counter his block strings, charge EX bingo MP HP ( using middle and ring finger ).
leave ur thumb and index to tech just in case.
observe how he does his block strings.
if he do a jump in, follow by clp clp clk/cmk OH, release your ex bingo during the transition from the 2nd clp to clk.
it should hit him very hard.
AA bison isn’t very hard. u can do a clean b mp even when he is directly on your head.
Ok…does that mean Cody can’t beat Dhalsim? I also use Guile & Gen I posted this same question in the Guile boards Dhalsim gives me issues in general.
Cody is actually 2nd in line after Guile(My main). But I want to learn the matchup well with both.
Dhalsim is a nightmare with Cody and I am getting tired of winning first rounds against lame Guiles and then losing the other two because they decide to just play the runaway game (and yeah, I know that I probably must just be patient and all on this fight… sigh…).
Sim has always given me trouble too, a lot more than usual when using Cody. Best thing u can do is ex zonk when he sends a fireball at u and then tries to push back with limbs right away. if hes smart, he’ll let the fireball hit first, then use his limbs to push u back further. One of his best mix ups (IMO) is when he sends off a fireball and then teleports to your other side just as the fireball hits you, so you are in block stun, then hes behind you, so he hits u. he could always just time it so he hits u then the ball does. This thing messed me up in some matches, but I’d suggest back jump away from the fireball… but u gotta time it pretty nicely, since if u go too early, he might not teleport, and just stay far away again… which means U gotta try and get in… again.
I suggest ultra 2 for this matchup, since, if he is stupid enough to send a fireball midscreen, then its go time, and it catches limbs… but only for the sand part if ur too far back.
Its a really nice and slow match, where he pokes and prods u into making mistakes, then he can sit back and relax as u try to jump in and such while he uses the dhalsim knee of justice in your face. what you want to do is get some quick damage onto him, like 1/4 life, then make him do dangerous stuff to get in on you… but dont get into the corner… if u do… good luck getting out, and have fun with getting fireballs and limbs in your face. If you know the distance for his ex slide kick (my terminology is terrible) then do it on reaction to his fireballs. If you are playing a great dhalsim (isnt afraid of being up close and personal), then you can try and get in some nice cross ups, being that u position yourself correctly. also u can OS his ultra 2 if the dhalsim things of backdashing or teleporting backwards.
This is all I know from my experience of dhalsim… that cheeky bastard 
Thanks this helped me paint a mental image of what to do, I’m going to hit up some sim players and see if I can implement some of what your saying, thanks a great deal. It definately makes alot of sense…quick thought though, how effective is b.mp in this match? Especially when he air teleports behind you to try his shenanigans?
not going to lie, I’ve been trying to do that on reaction. Maybe I’m just not that great at reacting to things as I once thought, or it doesnt work. but I suggest you can try it out to see if it works… but overall, you wont be using it too much, since he usually is half screen away and lets his limbs do the hitting… which is pretty fast… u can probably psychic them if u can read them well enough, but yea. If they are jumping in (donno why they would) they;d usually lp (downwards arm… which is a small tap on u, but somehow, hard to react to)then either a slide of a throw… since it isnt something to start a combo off of. and the shenanigans… i’m still trying a ton of stuff out, if u can time a nj. so that ur faceing them, then when u are above them, fierce kick them them and go from there.
hope this helps on your sim matches
someone on jtv told me cody can destroy vega
but i have a hard time believing that
can anyone clear this up and tell me about this match up?
I’ll give it a whirl. Cody’s Zonk is very useful in this fight, or so I’ve found lately after a couple of matches. Vega’s best pokes are mid or high hitting, which means a regular zonk will pass right through and crack him. If you space it well enough, even on block he’ll have a tough time trying to counter attack. Zonk and EX Zonk also totally beat out any air dive shinnanigans, just time it well enough so you’re facing the proper way he’s trying to hit you from and it’s free damage, and watch out for Izuna drop, EX Zonk is your friend here. Correct me if I’m wrong, but an air dive slash on block is punishable I believe… Vega’s roll attack is very slow, and since you should be charging a Zonk almost all the time in this match, you should have no problem countering it on reaction. U2 also totally rocks any 3K or 3P escapes he’s gonna try. If I’m missing anything or I’m totally butchering the Cody-Vega matchup please feel free to correct me.
