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

Many thank yous to zUkUu and xcalibur. I actually had to play an abel in a tourney last week and got crushed. I just gotta put the knowledge here into application.

when fighting bison…my thing is to forward HK over his cr. lk…worked wonders for me, and try not to stay in his face too much make him deal with your jumping hk

cr. MK stuffs the shit out of his almost everything. I’ve stopped his scissor kicks and every normal he tried. If it were easier to tick throw with it’d be incredible enough to make rose cry.

yea but u shouldnt be doing cr mk all the time…itll kill you, you have to do something that actually does some true damage or leads into some.

cr.mk beats bictator’s scissors if you both do at the same time, but if you guess a little late you will get owned.
It’s a great tool, but it’s not the ultimate counter.

not to be abused yes but cleanly beating his s.RH(what he wants to abuse) is nice. and slides the perfect distance to be in place to punish a headstomp whiff.

you do know they are gonna spam cr lk more then spamming s. RH…when your in bisons face is what hes talking about not outside of codys range. The problem with cr mk it stuffs but it can be punished if done to close for one and for 2 doesnt lead into anything. its good for a few time uses though ill admit. but stick to crack kick to throw or ex CU or nuetral jump to inflict pain on cr. lk spammers…jumping HK beats out his S. RH point blank period

Hmm good to know. Not a match i struggle with since his pressure doesn’t scare me as much as rog or abel.

between the 3 I’d say I have more trouble with abel more so than both balrog and bison. I get really cautious with tornado throws, but pressure strings I learn to deal with. You can tech a pressure string, but you can’t tech a command throw.

abel is a piece of cake for me…i just get overly aggressive he can do nothing…i pretty much kno when hell try and throw so I toss out ex cu on those occaisons

Its basically who pressures hard first huh? Both have shit wake up game, except he can stop safe jumps w/ meter.

What is the best way to deal with Adon’s Jaguar kicks , the problem is unless he is mid screen away it can be hard to Zonk it , And if i just block he would be in a pretty good postion .

exactly …i played juicebox this weekend …if you let him get one step kick in ur in bad position again it’s all about the rush for me with abel definitely

At times a well placed standing HK/HP beats it or the cr.mk depending on your distance

What’s the best way to get in on an Akuma that plays keep away?

Also, Does anything beat blanka’s jump ins on wake up? I cant get away at all…:annoy:

new cody technology…Jumping FK beats out seths jumping HP ALLLLLLLLL DAY test it and spam it…he cant even hit u out the air on a fully extended foot.

this completely changed the matchup for me…

once u get in its all about that zonk / counter hit game

oh shit really?! Well haha, I think it won’t be an issue since they took out his j.hp. If only that worked on sim.

yea sadly…and for some reason it doesnt work on sim, when the seth saw me do it…he was like holy shit and stopped throwing it out

I don’t have patients to look through 27 pages but if this is around please point me there sorry; I also tried searching this thread using search and it didn’t seem to find anything?

Anyways I am having trouble against very aggressive kens. Other than the obvious bingo the hadukens I did notice lots of kens do the towards mk, then crouching mk, and you can sneak u2 in between there. My main problem is dealing with heavy pressure and those crazy jumping lp cross-ups. Any suggestions?

block and be ready to tech. simple yet hard as that. shotos j.lk crossups are a pain in the ass, if they get too obvious ex zonk their throw attemp.
