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

[DominicanPower]

That happened to me

[Giacomito]

yeah the super wiffs after focus, unless you do m.super or l.super =) they hit, at least for me.

[catchafire]

how do I escape/punish Vega wall dives?

[Randomness]

I just learned something the hard way. I was playing vs Adon and got him dizzy. I did focus crumple and then the super. The super completely whiffed! WTF?! Not sure if this is character specific or not. But anyway, if you get someone dizzy just do raw super or combo into it.

what version of super? the hk version hits much higher on the first hit, so my guess is that’s why it whiffed. adon is short as fuck. doing the mk or lk version should work.

when you dont even have 1 slot of EX bar, how do you deal with jurl’s wheel?
she keep doing lk version and ex version repeat and repeat, i just dont know how to escape

I know this might not be to helpful, but first identify where he is going. If he is going for a cross-up, then dash forward to avoid it. If he is going in front of you…I think you can HK ruffian kick him out of him. Idk if you can punish on block, but you can LK ruffian kick him if his wall shenanigans whiffs.

how come theres no info in the original post spoilers?

[System_1]

can anyone get some info on the much-needed Ryu matchup?

[ADVIII]

I had a hard time against a scrubby makato. I know it sounds stupid but all the guy did was cr.lp all day into the command grab. Any suggestions?

[Joshkaz]

I play against a good Makoto. All I can say is play Footsies/zone. Might not be much help, but it’s what I do against the makoto I play and it works.
If you’re stuck on lk, Cmd Grab try EX bingoing out or just back dashing. I think even Focus attacking would work too.

This. A friend of mine is decent with makoto and once she got in i couldn’t do much. I only times i could get out a win was when i kept her out and zoned her to death.

[System_1]

I’m still having a bit of trouble with guile and dhalsim. I played a sim online and he almost perfected me while i was trying to bingo/hk rf in.

i also can’t get past guile’s sonic boom to footsie+overhead rush–backdash, wait for flashkick opportunity. any tips?

[toge]

I’m also having trouble with Guile.

[ADVIII]

you mean the focus attack works on makoto’s command grab?

[Joshkaz]

yes, Focus attack works on Makoto’s Cmd Grab. lol Odd but w/e

[ChaiThai]

For the Vega matchup:

Back Strong trades with Vega’s jp.fp, if Vega has claw. And Cody takes more damage. Without claw the timing is tight but it will beat.

any tips on properly dealing with shoto tatsu’s? Once it hits, it seems I get forced into the 50/50 throw vs srk game, and generally lose

Check back a page, I posted up some good punishes for tatsu spammers.

[Joshkaz]

just duck under tatsu and punish with Cr. hp or something.

The way I rectified this (and made my accuracy for punsihing the ball almost 100%) was to immediately do the ultra motion after blocking the ball, while I was still in block stun (as if I were going to ultra as a reversal), but then letting the stick go back to neutral, and simply timing my PPP button press to the right time as Blanka came down. This ensures you don’t move yourself backwards at all while doing the motion, and the input leniency is so high in SF4 that the ultra still comes out without a problem.

Also, I guess I should note that even with the above method, I wasn’t able to do it when I blocked the ball crouching. Had to stand block to get the Ultra to punish. But that’s fine with me…this is going to help that matchup significantly.

I’m loving this Cody technology.

It’s actually possible to punish a horizontal ball even when you crouch block it. Instead of leaving the stick neutral, do the ultra motion and then walk forward until you have to press the punch buttons.
