cr. mk beats sagats tiger knee im pretty sure.
but thats all I can really do for help D:
VS Sagat–GET THE KNIFE.
Knife is nice and all but I can’t even get in to USE the knife. Accursed Sagat! ARRGGHH! He has an answer for everything. I’ll have to try cr.MK on Tiger Knee though.
Fuuuuuuck Adon, seriously. Maybe it’s because I still don’t really know what he can do, but everything he does seems to own me.
adon is free for cody.
Reg bingo > everything adon can do.
I hardly use bingo so that explains a lot.
Toughest matchup for me so far: Zangief and T.Hawk.
Zangief: Obviously the best approach to this is to flee like a bitch. That’s all well and good, but Cody’s zoning toolset just isn’t good enough to keep a good Gief out. If he gets a knockdown on you, even when you have EX, shit goes south real quick.
T.Hawk: More manageable than Gief because he’s easier to keep out, but if he gets anywhere close to you, his tick SPD setups are fucking BEASTLY… and as we all know, if he grabs you, it hurts.
So far I only have problems against some good bison players that uses a lot of cr lk and scissor kicks… Everything else don’t seem that bad. As for sagat…just close in during fireball with ex rk or zonk. Once you’re in be careful bout TUs and you’re good.
Dunno if it was posted already but vs boxer Cody’s m.slide can kick boxer out of most if not all dash punches including EX. Also his U2 dust cancels out boxers punches too.
FA Tiger shots. Don’t do jump ins as you’ll easily get stuffed. Build meter if you have to off FA. I’m pretty sure you can dash under high Tiger shots. (if not slide/cr.MK) Basically inch your way in if you’re up against a spammy Sagat. If you want, knife helps. But don’t focus too much on trying to grab it each time if it’s a problem.
basically it’s a really slow and boring match until you get close…which there you want to try your best to stay in and get those combos off.
With gief, if he seems to break through to me, I use a desperate EX RK as a GTFO move when he jumps to reset my zoning game.
Fuerte matchup.
Cody’s B+MP will beat his Tostada press. As will st.hp and HK RK.
B+MP will beat elfs Fajita buster, But it isn’t really safe. So just Hk RK
For his Calamari Slide. Cr. Lk will beat it clean and you got some time to hit it too.
For elf’s Prpeller Tortilla None of them beat it D: Just back dash. Found out Cr. mk will get under it.
For all of elf’s off the wall jump ins. the same 3 things will beat it. For his off the wall Tostada Press, Do Hk Rk as soon as u see him do it off the wall you’ll beat it.
B.MP works too but the timing is smaller, and if you mess up timing you either trade or just eat it.
For the match itself. I find playing it safe and back is the right way. If you knock him down by all means rush him. Until then play it safe and just throw out pokes with some rocks. Keep him away as much as possible.
If you do get knocked down just Dash back or forward or block w/e you think will work the best, and punish his attack if possible.
Also Cr.mk will get you out of his mixups. As well as EX RK I believe
What I did in the alst Fuerte match I played in, whenever I got stuck in a vortex, I’d jump on my wakeup, and if I get splashed from the air, I did badspray. I’m not sure if it PUNISHED him guarantee, or if he could have blocked it, but it did get him off my back immediately after it hit him.
i havent been online because ive been busy playing and figuring out match ups
vs Bison
-s.fp and back mk beats headstomp and the headstomp fake out(if he baits s.fp u can do another one b4 he can punish)
-s.lp and m.ck beats bison s.rh. lp from max range
-jump fp beats bison anti-air s.rh if timed right (free meaty combo lol)
-if bison attempts a shallow jump in s.rh his ass
- long story short bison wont be leaving the ground against cody because his anti airs rape bison
-bison can put good pressure on cody but(ex zonk knuckle) helps a lil on wake up but it can be baited and gets a free escape on wake up from his new bison tail so be careful
got lots more info but ill post later got to go play lol (p.s be careful with fake bad stone it has gay recovery)
whats the timing on the j fp? very early or a lil late? in between? id imagine ud have to use the elbow drop portion of codys j fp to beat the tip of it?
some more little tidbits
vs guy
-DONT JUMP when he bunshin flips you will get grabbed,use back mp most of the time and s.fp for random ones to keep bf at bay.
-if you can bait ex spin kick on wake up if you neural jump and fierce punch you can beat it cleanly
vs deejay
- ex fwd kicks (forgot the name) can be punished on block with h.rk into ultra
-dont jump vs deejay especialy if he has ex a decent one will rape your cross up attempt
definatly earlier than late it is a pain in the ass but once you get it tight you will be cool
T-Hawk isn’t too bad (even though my win % is low against him, it’s usually because of dumb dumb mistakes).
~ Ruffian Kick (HK) stuff his air dive
~ Spam rocks to get his ass in the air. Once he’s there, stuff him.
~ EX Zonk is a jail out of free card if he’s on your ass on wakeup
naw t hawk is a pretty tough match up its decent intil he gets in on you,but after that it can get uuuuuuuuuuugggggggggly
No sir, THAT is brilliant. Thanks for posting that I’ll check that out tomorrow in training mode.
I’ve been working on Cody since launch day and like everyone else I’ve gone from the transition of believing Cody to be a rush character to a zoning character. Here are my thoughts on a couple of matchups, hopefully they can be of use to someone or if I’m wrong I will know to try a different approach:
Dhalsim
Both Cody and Dhalsim are zoning chararcters. Both go about it very differently. Dhalsim will attempt to keep you away while Cody will attempt to “Stay in the pocket.” Its been my experience so far that Cody can hit Sim out of all his normal attacks if properly timed. Patience is supreme in this match. If you can learn to be patient, that’s 50% of the fight IMO. Also, beware of what Dhalsim might do when he has ultra, specifically U1. He may lead you on into thinking you are rushing him into the corner, when in fact he’s baiting to throw you into the corner, then activating U1. STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STAGE Do not let him bait you into the corner, do you let him back you into the other corner. Stay right in the middle and you will frustrate him, leaving him with now other option but to bring the fight to you. Watch for the yoga fire > teleport trap, if he j.fp at you zonk him.
I’ll edit this post in the morning and add more stuff, its getting late 
Agian if I’m way off base feel free to correct me / flame me. I’m a big boy I can take it. :tup:
