actually cody has ambiguous jump ins.
He does? The only ambiguous jump in I seen was a vid of Momochi vs a Sagat player.
I meant during pressure, not as a setup on knockdown. Unless there’s one in that situation too that I’m not aware of.
well witch character has ambiguous jump ins without setups? Can’t think of anyone.
I’m about 80% positive it’s not possible to beat Fuerte as Cody.
fuerte has no real matchup. he’s pretty much 5-5 vs everyone (with a few exceptions). it’s all about guessing right or wrong. he’s no real threat outside of wakeup situations with little to no poking game, reversals or chip potencial.
in neutral state you can beat everything he has with jump back + attack but guac.
I’m 100% positive you’re on your 20% margin on that one.
Fuerte is easy. You guess wrong you eat pitiful damage, so you can fuck up like 10 times in a row. I wonder how you feel about Ibuki and Akuma matchup lol.
I actually don’t mind those haha. I guess I just don’t know what moves to use vs Fuerte and every video I see doesn’t really help me figure out the matchup
Dee Jay and Yang come right to mind. Most of these I’m thinking of at around max poke range, which goes back to my point of jump ins during pressure.
if you mean simple jump in’s then bison aswell. still, it’s not that ambiguous if you get used to it. stuff that hits you in the back while they seem to clearly landing in front of you etc THAT’s ambiguous.
Barely related, but I am now the proud owner of these.

So who do you guys recon are Cody’s worse match ups? So far I would say Chun Li, Akuma, Abel, Rufus and Yun.
this is a constant topic through various threads… cody has at least a fair chance against all but gouki. twins are a given problem aswell, but can be handled. personally I hate chun myself, but seeing the matchup from an objectiv point of view, it’s rather even.
I can’t see how Chun Li can be 5-5 even when looking at things objectively. Chun Li can literally win by just pressing buttons and all her pokes beat yours completey, you also can’t frame trap her at all and she can punish pretty much everything Cody can do.The only possible way Cody can win the match up is through pressure on wake up or through the Chun Li player making stupid mistakes.
which “unbeatable” pokes you’re talking about? c.hk can be focused easily. s.hk and s.hp can be undergone with c.mk and c.lk. her kiyoken is no threat to your stones, which you shoudl abuse in this matchup. her wakeup is whack. ex bird kick can be savejumped all day. only her backdash can give trouble where you should start to OS them. due to her floaty jump she can be easily anti aired, but is a real threat in air to air combat. if you see a opening, you can jump in for free. she has basically no quick anti air during footsie.
in AE I’d even call it slightly in cody’s favor. but I can understand your feeling, chun troubles me aswell personally 
A lot of that sounds good in theory but c.mk can be easily punished by her shorts , using c.lk for the footsie battle is also playing with fire. The stones are also pointless when the Chun player gets within footsie range and has u1 stocked, although I do agree with the other stuff you wrote I still think this match is a 5.5-5 in chun’s favor especially if you’re facing a Chun player who knows how to rush down. In super this was a clear 6-4 match up but do to her slight nerfs and Cody’s slight buffs it has made it closer to even .
I personally struggle in this matchup as well, but that might be due to the fact that probably the best player I know mains Chun.
I think the optimal range in this matchup is just outside of s.mp range. In that range you can LP Bad Stone pretty much freely, since Hazan Shun won’t go trough it easily. She can’t jump in because her jump is really floaty which gives you plenty of time to AA with HK Ruffian (unless you’re me) and she can’t focus through the stone because you can just s.hk her dash.
A good Chun will only use s.mp (which beats slide) and sweep as poking tools (specially in an attempt to counter Bad Stone’s startup). Do not think you can play footsies with Cody. As a matter of fact, he can never play footsies because he has one of the slowest walk speeds in the game (unless you’re Momochi, in which case you are able to make normals wiff and wiff punish with cr.lk xx MK Ruffian, but I digress), I find it a common misconceptionthe thought that Cody has good footsies, when in fact he has good normals and pokes. That said, your best bets are LP Stone and cr.lp with buffered MK Ruffian. Other normals like s.mk and s.lk, f.hk are also important and should be used sparingly.
EX SBK has 7 (or 8, can’t remember correctly) startup frames, meaning it’s easily safe jumpable. An OS’d EX Bingo will beat both her backdash and EX SBK.
I played a long ass set against this Chun player I’m refering to (although we played lots of different characters most of the time) and after he bodied my Yang probably 12-1 I switched to Cody lol. I actually just recently got a crappy chinese capture device and was planning on uploading to matches for criticism and as a test for some helpful videos I wish to make in the future, but I’m having trouble with audio…hopefully I can work around it and post a few matches later.
Thanks, I’ll try to use this when I face Chun next, although i’ve noticed good Chuns start to use that annoying cross up kick thing if you start to do lp rocks which lands her right next to you or they just sweep you:(
Punish EX SBK with ultra 2 for goodness.
I have practiced in training mode a thousand times but when it comes to an actual game I can’t beat dudleys j.hk with b.mp. I get stuffed every single time and its the hardest part of the matchup to me. Actually the whole matchup seems fraudulent. He can pressure for free with no reversal opportunity. If you get a knockdown sure you might be able to beat him, but he gets out(which he will) its over again. Both the boxers are ridiculous to fight as cody
