You and me both man. I’ve stuck by him since day one, and have never looked back. Even abandoned my Vanilla main, Chun, who has received massive improvements in this game. I can’t explain why, but he just flows better then other characters. Not to mention that he to was my III series main throughout.
Just came home from Finnish e-sports challenge tournament, finished as 5-6th. I was very pleased at my performance, didn’t drop many links and even did my double c.hks after EX MGB 
Well better luck next time, had a very good Sim at my pool and faced him first at top8, won couple of rounds vs him on both sets but in the end he managed to go that extra mile and beat me

It’s wrong that Dudley doesn’t have the gloves in this alt, but the rest is really neat.
Congrats! Any videos of the event?
Second.
I’m not completely sure, but I think they only managed to record the final which was kinda bleh with gief vs rose(rose won, zoned gief out nicely), really a bummer :\ I don’t get why they didn’t have someone recording matches trough out the tournament. Sorry guys :crybaby:
Gief vs Rose is like 1-9
I like dudleys new alt, except the top hat. 
edit: They should give him an afro or balrog hair 
I was reading these articles:
Option-Select.com - Five Tips for Beginners
Option-Select.com - Five Tips for Experienced Players
These articles speak to me. I was figuring this stuff out through playing and this confirms that I was suppose to be learning this.
I really need to get anti airing perfected. I need to know when to use s MK and cr HP and not do them so damn late all the time. I probably shouldn’t use sHP as an antiair as much either.
I’ve been working on stay active during a combo so I can quick rise and punish any whiffs if they drop.
I’m trying to punish jumping mistakes with a combo but it’s like 50/50 on if I eat their throw upon their landing or land a jab.
I’m working on dealing with focuses better, especially anti air focus attempts by the taller characters since I eat the FA upon landing due to the jump attack being too early. Actually, I need to stop doing jumpins earlier on the taller characters in general, not sure when I developed this habit.
shit i dont do half the things on that list…
Also, I deleted some people off PSN so I should definitely have room if anyone wants to add me. I would like to find a regular group :<

i think ima have to read that post u did x. i wanna get my shit tight and better than before when i go to my next tourney. i did better last time i went but still lost. i know i wont win the whole thing (shit would be nice tho) but i wanna make it halfway at least. ill be happy with myself if i can do that. kinda sucks because i gotta relearn the target combos and get that damn RH to connect with mgb
Anyone else do excellent offline and is able to land numerous combos with Dudley but as soon as you attempt to step into the online arena in Endless battle. Even against great connections. You just can’t time any move correctly and start dropping a lot of combos?
I just had an evening like that. Had a few good games again HAV and then I got on a bit later for a few more and got rick-rolled by… I must say. a great Abel. And then had these mediocre matches… but I kept screwing up combo timing and getting DPed or Flash kicked mid blockstring.
The online even with a great connection is killing me. Maybe it’s my mentality… but I raged hard. I’m gonna take a 24-48 hour break… then practice the rest of the week for my tourney.
anyone stop using target combos COMPLETELY?
I don’t use em. Other than c.lk > s.mk chain cause you can cancel it. lol. I use that target combo for c.lk > s.mk xx Duck Upper or c.lk > s.mk xx Jab Jet Upper > Ultra 2
c.lk c.mp c.hp always has its uses
i barely use the c.lk, s.mk target combo now that i can do c.lk, c.lp s.rh on a more consistent basis, it’s easier to hit confirm off of, it doesn’t whiff like how the s.mk can sometimes, and it does more damage in general.
I use the s.lp s.mp target on occasion during combos, but thats’ about it.
Mr. X, those were great articles to read, even if you already “know” what you’re suppose to do. Sometimes getting a refresher helps to put your mind back in the right focus.
Only target combos I use are:
- f+HK > MK, when I think f.HK won’t score a KO but the target combo will so if I hit and I calculated their health correctly I get the KO guaranteed rather than relying on an awkward link.
- f+MK > MK > HP, use it rarely but think it’s the most damaging target combo (170ish if I remember correctly) so if I do get lucky I get a nice amount of damage for very little effort.
Join the club man, because I experience this on a daily goddamn basis.
Oh I forgot that’s a target combo “1, 2, 3!” I use that all the time
Also I wish everyone had an animated Avi.
