"Work on your movements, Chap! Dudley Critique Thread

Duuuude. You need to level up your fundamentals all around.

Block more, jump less, never use EX CC or non EX JU in wake up, hitconfirm into combos, learn proper punishes, practice meaty timings.

I’ll work on jumping less I guess…and the timing for punishes. I’ve been meaning to learn to plink but it seems pretty inconsistent on pad.

If you don’t mind my asking, which matches did you watch? I don’t expect you to watch all of them.

For the new page, I’d like some more criticism please.

vs Bison It looks like you havnt had much/any Bison experience outside of random sweep/lk scissor/s.HK. Once you’re in period you mix up with blockstrings and grabs. once you get a knockdown you can go for the high low safely , safe jump HK, fake safe jump, meaty c.LK. He cant reversal c.LK or jump HK.
I cant go by muc but ya work on your punish combos because you’re playing like week 1 dudleys in the vids vs Bison. Work on your punish combos and HIT CONFIRMS c.LK and f.HK.
All your damage is from your opponent’s mistakes. Fierce, random jet uppers and jump HK fierce.
You need to rethink Dudley.

I wish I had some footage to share to help you with the Match up but its pretty even except Dud can jump once he gets Bison blocking to an extent.
I cant go by much btw
show some footage vs more than one player.
neither one is adapting to playstyles

Alright thanks, I’ll play some games with more peopl later and record them tonight.

dont play friends

I still need to get a camera so I can record my matches and get them critiqued. I think I’ve gotten better but I still don’t really know for sure. I’ll see about getting the camera from my cousin.

Hi everyone, I want to post some of my videos for an evaluation but I dont have a way to record them. I was wondering if anyone can join me on xbox live and watch some of my videos and give me some pointers? Ive talked to a few of you already on here but I didnt have any good videos until now. My gamertag is HouseOfDignity and I am available anytime Saturday and Sunday. Thanks in advance for your help.

you have endlessMGB added.
after like 3PM your time check if i’m on and invite me to your channel.
I’ll accept

Thanks I will do that. I was actually able to upload some videos here. I know ive got a long way to go, but I have to start somewhere. I seem to always struggle on xbox live, psn. I do so much better offline. These matches were against a random dudley i ran into and against an online ken.

god damn private videos

also we’re all random dudleys

Oh sorry about that! Ill make them all public. just a minute.

EDIT: Fixed, you should be able to see them now.

If you’re on xbl I might be able to help ya out with some recording. Add ***My XeroxHands ***on xbl and we’ll set up a replay session and I’ll up them in HD.

Example:

EDIT: This goes for pretty much everyone. If you want some HD Dudley uploads, give me an invite and we’ll knock em out

Awesome Quality. I need to up mine so its presentable for here and my youtube channel :slight_smile: Then I can show my noobiness.

I wish I did. I only have PSN at the moment.

Aww, rough break man :frowning:

pm me if u want a critique

Im not a decent Dudley- but shall I pass my opinions on peoples videos?
It will be like they are empty words but still …

  • Don’t do FA right in front of your opponent unless you expect him to mash something. I saw lots of unnecessary FA’s. Use FA sparingly and when you do use it, use it to get in from mid screen away. Is your opponent in range of FA? Let it go, otherwise backdash.
  • Random cross counter. It worked a couple of times for you before, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to work everytime. When you use a move, don’t just use it for the sake of using it. Use a special/normal/jump-in only when you have something in mind. e.g. Making him jump, setting him up for a mixup, reading his patterns.
  • Random MGB. If they got blocked, you could have been punished. Don’t do random MGB.
  • Learn your combo’s. I saw plenty of dropped combo’s which could have lead into heavy damage. Maybe it was the lag, maybe it was the nerves. Either way, go practice them more. Use the 30-time-method. Do a combo 30 times in a row, did you fail one? Start over again.
  • When you have an untechable knockdown and you want to bait a reversal. Don’t just sit there. Look like you wan’t to hit him. Whiff a few normals. Also a general rule of thumb, when your opponent has the life lead he won’t be as likely to reversal DP. Just go for it. No respect!

actually more likely to reversal
depends on character/rounds won/place on stage/ lots of things factor in

If i played a dudley with no punish combos tho, i’d wake up/backdash all the time. no worries.
