My gf often wonders why I dont give up on dudley because he’s so limited. I used to play balrog/blanka and perform better. When SSF4 got released I told myself that it would be a new game with cool new characters and new tier lists. Dudley is the way I want to play SF4
Fellow dudleyplayers, why do you main dudley?
I main Dudley because he was my main in 3s and he was the by far the most fun character to play as. He also perfectly portrayed the kind of fighting style SF3 was supposed to have. No amount of SF4 making him mediocre will make me forget that Dudley is awesome and worth playing.
Dudley is just fun. His combos are challenging yet don’t require insane execution. And you have to really get into your opponent’s head, both reading their reactions, and conditioning them to react in a certain way. I wasn’t a 3S player, but I always thought Dudley looked interesting as a character overall. I was interested in him when I heard he would be in IV - when all the talk about Dudley being the new King was going around, I was a little disappointed, because I don’t like overpowered/overplayed characters. So I’m fairly happy about his place on the tier list, don’t have to contend with tier whores overplaying him.
But yeah, he’s just fun.
He’s a man’s man.
And I’ve always played punishers.
Although I liked using him in 3S, that not why I play him in SSF4. Actually, that’s why I didn’t want to play him in SSF4.
Every other character in SSF4 is slow, boring or weak. Dudley is fast, exciting and strong. I played Rog with Guile and Bison on the side in SF4 and none of them really held my attention. Dudley makes me want nothing more from a character.
I tried Guy and DeeJay but Guy was really repetitive and bored me and DeeJay didn’t hit hard enough.
I started playing CvS2 [Guile, Chun, Ryu was my team, lol] and a few months later our arcade got 3rd strike. I played a little with dudley but then I moved for college. When I heard he was going to be in Super, I got hype, and said I would use him. As far as I’m concerned, I’m just picking up where I left off.
3s Dudley’s good/flashy juggles required some pretty ridiculous execution, but the best part was when you messed a juggle up you turned a combo into a reset by just hitting st.strong!
shoutout’s to fujiwara.
Been playing Dudley ever since 3S, and he is definitely the classiest SF character of all time. Then when I found out he was going to be in SSFIV, I had to main him. 
Since my tutorial got 1000 views+ I’m goign to release more videos.
Ranked matches ( not me vs vega >_>)
and character specific stuff ) option selects punishes strategy (idk give me some ideas)
Someone in another thread asked about how to link target combos into s.HK. I’ll do a video about that next since I use the 1 2 3 target combo vs some characters with hitboxes that allow the s.HK link afterwards.
Huge Hitconfirm window and safe on block? srsly?
ya sometime this week
Dudley players rejoice, for I have punished a sonic boom with rolling thunder
Huzzah!
I mained him in 3rd strike… so fucking classy.
On reaction? Only time I ever punish booms with rolling thunder is when I get a feel for their pattern and I’m thinking “k he’s walking back, sonic boom in 1 and 2 and ROLLING THUNDER” People in ranked get so pissed when the screen flash happens and their arms are winding back lol
I may consider using u1 vs guile again lol.
Punishing that cursed Backfist all day
I gotta add some Doodley players on XBL as well. I finally got my TE stick today, and I wanna get used to it. 
I punish Guile’s sonic booms with rolling thunder on reaction as well. I predict, “Hey it’s been about 1 second since a boom came out. He’s going to throw it.” and then I react to my prediction by wildly mashing the rolling thunder command. In seriousness though, you can react to it on sight as long as you’re looking for it and are on point.
Been getting a lot of Dudley dittos lately.
I hate dittos
Anyone else think it’s time to clean up the Dudley board a little?
Like make a new thread containing Dudley moves analysis thread by SalPal combined with the combo thread from Kikujumanji plus some other info like who some combos don’t work on and just call it the “Dudley Compendium”
And then remake the match up thread where the first few post contain links to the specific character threads and the rest of the thread either empty or dedicated to nonspecific stuff and leave more detailed character specific stuff for the Dudley vs whoever threads since both 3S and Wonder Chef seem to be missing?
Yeah…The Dudley boards are probably some of the most disorganized and cluttered boards on the site. Outside of the main SSFIV page of course.
