"You can do better than that!" Critique my Cody!

Played my local honda player at 1:06:45 Really strong and patient honda play. Any feedback would be helpful http://www.twitch.tv/bisonsautoshop/b/508815024

Starts at 1:08:30

Your local Honda always does a oicho grab after cr.lk, you might want to tell him that. Also, you should jump in more after you see him take a slight step forward, it would be nice to see how he reacts. You could use more st HK, pretty hard for Honda to deal with it. A lot of missed opportunities from both parties, obviously. I liked how consistently you punished the buttsplash with focus dash cr.lk xx CU, and the fact that you anti-aired even though it traded a lot.

Why does your local Honda use HP headbutt against Cody? Also, you can do empty-jump cross up and EX CU, would have worked every time! A lot of bad habits and randomness on this Honda!

All in all, would be nice to see more, but maybe once he and you get more familiar with the MU! I stopped watching after he did the super xx butt splash, so if it changed dramatically after that my input is irrelevant!

Also, when you’re in the corner and he is harrassing you with cr.lp, f.MP is REALLY excellent in dealing with that. Also, be prepared to input U2 after it connects, doesn’t have to be CH when you’ve practiced the spacing! That keeps Honda a bit more calm once he gets you to the corner :slight_smile:

I watched a bit more, excellent knife use! Is there a reason why you don’t anti-air with cr.HP with the knife? At 1:19:10, that’s exactly when you should have used st HK instead of a lk rk. In the last round, learn to safe jump OS EX Zonk, it’s better than a pure read EX Zonk plus it was pretty obvious you were going for it :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot. I usually use cr.hp with the knife to aa idk why I didn’t use it actually. Also I’ll try the f.mp against his cr.lp I have to respect it so much. It’s really hard to whiff punish and it blows up a lot of my stuff.

Yeah, took me probably around 3 hours of offline play to figure that one out, the f.mp. I got so annoyed being stuck in the corner against Honda, considering how impossible it is to try to jump over him due to his backward walkspeed :frowning:

got a ft10 set against my local sagat player and quite possibly the strongest player in my local scene imo. Could use some advice to improve my game http://www.twitch.tv/bisonsautoshop/b/512812838 (set starts at 2 hours and 17 minute mark).

First to 10 with a friend of mine who plays Sakura. Gamertag is Prototype by the way. Any critique is appreciated.

Here’s my Cody play. It starts at 14:02. Any input would be appreciated!

I get that both of them are blond so it’s an easy mistake, but 14:02 is Guile vs Ken. There is a Cody mirror match at 16:38 but I dunno which one you are.

I will say this at least:

people should start doing nj.HP>whatever combo you’re comfortable with on stun rather than level 3 focus as the damage scaling kicks in.

that also includes nj.HP>U2 or nj.HP>super

Sorry Eternal,

I should say you can critique my Cody after the mirror matches. Specifically the one against Rose and T-Hawk.

Thanks for any incoming feedback.

You need to practice recognizing your counterhits more. Way too much damage left on the table from things like sHP (counterhit) - crMP - HP Criminal Upper or F+MP (CH) - crMP - Criminal Upper. That was the main thing I noticed. One of Cody’s biggest strengths is how much he gains in terms of new combos from landing a counterhit compared to most characters.

Focus dashing gives you more distances than a regular dash by quite a bit, especially if you kara into the focus., crMK low profiling some jump ins were things I could recommend.

VS Thawk you can punish any blocked Condor Dive with LK/MK Ruffian or even a reversal Zonk unless he hits you around the knees which makes Zonk/MK Ruffian not work. Even if he does hit you around the knees a reversal LK Ruffian or EX Ruffian will punish on block.

wouldn’t you want to do s.HP>cr.HP>HP Upper on CH s.HP instead? O-o

Read my post again. I was pointing out that he left too much damage on the table by doing combos LIKE sHP - crMP when the sHP was a counterhit. I was citing those because those were some of the exact combos I saw him do. sHP (ch) - crMP is a much worse combo than sHP (CH) - crHP of course.

Thanks for the tip Eternal. Time to put that counter hit option in training to real good use.

I couldn’t really think of a good place to really ask this but since this threads topic is talking about other Codys I figure this is best.

I was wondering who all of you think are some strong Codys out there? I don’t mean the world class ones either. Everyone knows Momochi and Sasaki. But how about some lesser known ones? Who comes to mind?

I’m trying to just seek out other Cody players that have some form of online presence that I can look up and gain some knowledge from. On YouTube or maybe even look for their replays on XBL.
I tried finding the number 1 Cody on XBL but that person is a disgrace. To everything FGC related. I’m getting annoyed just typing about him.

So anyway, some names to put on my radar, anyone?

PIE Chin, HarrisonSBA, Ladnopokaa, BJUnchained, Furanjisan, TeasingButton01, Sitamachi Prince are all very good.

I’d also throw in Aulord since he has a good amount of Cody matches up on Youtube.
