EX CU has invuln frames? I’ll be damned.
Still not a good reversal, though.
Yeah, I was trying to joke about that. It gets killed by nearly everything.
Can’t you just Ruffian(Bingo)punch on reaction most of Cammy’s dive kicks? I’ve done it a couple of times and have been successful. I thought it worked the same as stuffing Adon’s Jaguar Tooth. I thought Cammy was a tough matchup, but I haven’t lost to her in awhile. I could just be playing scrubs though.
Anyway, I’m having a brutal time with scissor kicking Bisons that use LK. Is there anything Cody can do to punish these? The MK and HK ones I usually just use a simple cr.LK xx MK RK, or a LP LP MP xx Criminal Upper if I feel my timing is working that day, but the best I could come up with for this guy is stuffing it with a HK RK, and that had mixed results.
c.mk is the best tool against scissor spam. you’ll slide and hit him often. lk scissor is safe on block tho. you’ve to interuppt him.
Thanks, I was hoping there was something a little more snazzy though ;). I was also thinking that since the LK scissors only hit once most of the time I might be able to FA.
I’m also a little wary that the answer to everything is c.mk, not saying it isn’t a good suggestion in this case, but man it’s -3 on hit…
enochrewt: ruffian(bingo)? ruffian is the sliding kicks, bingo is the zonk knuckle. im assuming you mean the zonk knuckle. that may work on a scrubby cammy. but not on a real cammy. when cammy scores a knockdown, you can no longer use bingo. thats where the problem lies. shes constantly attacking directly from above on your wakeup where you are severely disadvantaged. when a character can effectively attack you directly from above for free and make it hard for you to block, cody will lose, everytime. how can you use bingo when the opponent is above you? the move pushes you forward, you will most likely always wiff and leave yourself wide open. the only time it becomes useful is after you successfully block the dive and guess where the hole will be in her pokes. but with bingo, you are 100% low vulnerable and throwable. in that case you need to ex bingo. 100% invincible, but its more unsafe on block, and its gonna cost you 3 stocks to use it semi safely. in the end, you are severely disadvantaged.
for bison, slide, c.short, s.short, s.strong, s.forward can all give bison a lot of trouble up close. slide is easiest to use tho since it has more active frames. but it is unsafe on block if used incorrectly.
EX criminal upper has invincible startup. problem is, he loses invincibility before the first active frame starts. basically, you can be hit, before you can hit them. but, thats not what matters. what matters is, is that the move is 100% throw invincible from frame 1, til the very end. this move can save you in matches where throws are a big threat(this move can rape abel’s breathless ultra). But in the end, its a guess. you have to use it when you think the throw is coming. and if you guess wrong, you are in a very unsafe position.
Fun fact–Trading with EX Upper against a jab can net you a free Ultra 2. Just throwing that out there.
you can also c.fierce into high ruffian also, for big damage if you don’t have ultra =)
That’s dope!
Mr.Sabre, if you are going to the Evos I would like some of your time to discuss the Codys.
I actually don’t think Gief is a bad matchup. Cody has some of the best pokes in the game and you can zone him with the rocks. JUST DON’T COMBO HIM TO MUCH. Thats speaking from experience.
True. I haven’t had much problem with Gief yet, but that’s probably cause I haven’t faced many good rushdown types. Usually, it’s just a dance, really, lol.
They jump, I catch them with HK RK, MK RK. They stay back, I throw rocks. They lariat, I do EX RK or LK RK. Not a whole lot of combos going on though because I’m afraid of that command grab. You just don’t want to get knocked down as Cody since he’s free on wake up (yeah, I know EX Zonk or EX CU are options).
Those crossups are just a bitch for Cody to handle. Cody does have some really great pokes though, with and without the knife.
I wasn’t thinking on wakup, and I’m sure it was a scrubby Cammy. The one match that I really got Zonks (I never remember the name since he says Bingo so much) to work on her was because I kept knocking her out of the sky with b+MP and so she was trying to change the timing on her jump-in and wasn’t directly above me.
But I have used the EX Zonk knuckle to hit Blank from directly above during his backstep roll. He came down right on top of it and completely covered my character, and then I zonked him from the inside out. It looked extremely weird and I spent a couple of minutes in training to try and reproduce it and I couldn’t.
Hello!
Can any of you fellow Cody players give me a link (or any advice or anything) with any video that contains the following:
- Cody VS Abel
- BOTH players must KNOW what they’re doing
- Preferably Cody winning the match
Personally, I think Cody has some decent ways (better for some) to fight vs anyone in the cast. However Abel is giving me a hard time there and I really don’t want to admit that there is no way to even this.
thx
vs abel’s reset and tick into command throw, ex CU kicks balls, since it has total throw immunity.
Thx I didn’t know that.
I’ll try to utilize it next time vs Abel.
maybe it’s just me, but i have a problem with dudley…
Does cody have any moves that outrun his? I would really like to know.
That one’s tough for me. Mainly because a lot of the Dudleys I fight are really good with pressure, haha. There’s nothing in particular I do for this matchup though, honestly.
I usually just let him come to me and trade with his j.hp by using s.hp. The only thing I could really say to keep in mind is that a blocked EX Machine Gun Blow gives you enough time to counter with Cody’s U2. I’ve been doing that a lot against Dudley players, but maybe you can do the same with U1, I don’t know (don’t ever use U1, lol).
U1’s startup is too slow. You can c.lk into rh.rk FADC U1 after hp and mp machineguns though.
I pretty much hate that matchup too. It was funny looking at the Dudley forum, because no one there seems to think he has anything over Cody, but it seems like they can both shut eachother down. Dud’s main vulnerability seems to be low attacks, but at the same time Cody doesn’t have much to keep people blocking high during pressure.
It also doesn’t help that most of the Dudleys i’ve seen act like they’re playing online Tekken, just randomly bulldogging and pretending they have an actual rushdown game. Yay for not having a decent reversal.
hmm, thanks. I’ll keep those options in mind. I know everyone complains, but the wake-up in that match up (cody v. dudley) is a pain…
