I didn't see your invite until way late man, sorry. Not that I would have been worth playing against. I'm all the way back down in super bronze. I'm atrocious whenever I pick up a new character. Oddly, even though I was doing better with Cammy on pad, I have an easier time playing Cody on stick. I think it's because of the overlap with fireballs and ruffian kick. I must be holding punch slightly too long or something.Battle Lounge Today starting anywhere from 4-5:00pm. I think I’m also going to purchase the light version of EX-Fighting Layer as well. But SFV will be my main priority.
So far, I’m really loving Cody. He seems like a mix of Bison and Guile. Seems to be + on a lot of things and he has great corner pressure/control. He’s much slower than I’m used to and I find myself doing Ryu things with him, but that’s just muscle memory. I need to work on his Zonk setups because his st.lk is great for frame trapping from what I’ve seen. It combos into all of his stuff for the most part. I will admit, I suck with his VT’s though. At first I thought he was one of the most straight forward characters in the game, but as I see lab monsters use him, there’s some nice complexity to his move-set. I’ll be playing him a little tonight if we can get some people to join in.
Anyway, I like him, but I'm not sure if I'm ever going to be any good with him. I don't really know how to open people up and keep pressure. I guess I'll have to learn how to use zonk. That or I'll actually have to become capable of landing counter hit combos.
