Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike/Dudley/2021

Overview Combos Matchups Strategy Resources

Edit Introduction

Introduction

Dudley is an English gentleman boxer who despises dirty fighting and seeks opponents who offer a good, clean match. He is never seen without his beloved blue boxing gloves even while driving, drinking tea, and reading the newpaper. His first appearance was Street Fighter III: New Generation.

Dudley is a quick, strong, high-precision character with flashy juggles, strong mixups and lockdown capability, as well as multiple different anti-airs.

Super Arts

SA1: Rocket Uppercut

One of Dudley's two best supers, requires more meter in exchange for more damage. Deals 52 damage to a standing Ken. Favored by specific players, or for specific matchups (gives additional range on the dart shot super link vs Makoto and twins, can be used for burst damage vs characters with low health or who are hard to hit). Opponents can fall out when it's used as a juggle ender midscreen, make sure not to hit them when they're too close or too high up. For example play, Fujiwara is a strong player who nearly always plays SA1.

SA2: Rolling Thunder

Deals 58 damage to a standing Ken. Can be mashed for extra hits, up to 8 total. It's the least popular option as it doesnt combo after juggles, doesn't combo after dart shot (6HK), and only has 1 large stock. Can be used in a similar manner to Ken's SA3.

SA3: Corkscrew Blow

Easiest to use super. Deals 38 damage to a standing Ken. It has 3 stocks and a significantly shorter bar, so you'll have access to super in many more situations. Has no issues with the opponent dropping out if they're hit while airborne; if you do miss one or two hits, it won't significantly impact the oki you get afterwards. LP corkscrew blow also deals an obnoxious amount of pushback on block, making it difficult to punish for many characters.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Great walk speed, incredibly fast and low jump arc Excellent mixups from said jump, with early j.hk linking into super and with backswing blow avoiding throws One of the best overheads in the game, unreactable, can link into super arts 1 and 3 on crouching connect Great damage and many juggle combos allow for threatening offense AND defense Excellent stun; his simple j.hk, HK xx HP DP combo deals 43/64 stun vs average health characters, and his mashable neutral throw can do 20 stun if mashed as fast as possible for 6 hits Awesome high-low mixups, insane frame data to enable them, insane damage to discourage the opponent from fighting back vs high/low/throw Many great anti airs Fastest meter gain via whiffing in the game, via 5HK/MP/6MK

Lacks pokes with enough risk-reward to directly compete with many of the game's low forwards Slow low attacks outside of crouching LK, which is only threatening near point blank via his crouching LK x2 confirm No oki off of throws midscreen, in exchange for very good corner carry Fairly execution heavy to unlock his full potential. Has tight links into super as part of his core gameplan, can be difficult to players unfamiliar with pianoing. His pressure strings are reaction intensive, it's quite difficult to hit confirm his f.mk and maintain frame advantage if it was blocked. Crouching LK x 2 often requires you to be inside of reversal throw range, and it's difficult to time properly, especially considering the game's unstandardized wakeup timings

3S Frame Data Glossary
Active	How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for. Consecutive sets of active frames on a multi-hit move are separated by an asterisk (ex: 3*5). If there is a gap between sets of active frames, the gap is denoted by a number in parentheses (ex: 2(4)2)
Attack	Attack level is L for low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks (which can be blocked high or low) and M for overhead (must be blocked standing). T is for throw attacks (which cannot be blocked).
Cancel options	Available cancel options. "ch": Chain cancel (into itself or another light attack), refer to description for options. "self": Self-only chain cancel. Much more restrictive than a standard chain cancel. "tc": Target combo, refer to description for options. Successive attacks in a target combo may warrant their own move entry. "dash": Grounded dashes. "sj": Super jump. "sp": Special move. "su": Super Art.
Damage	Attack damage on hit in life points. Notation may denote multi-hit or "sweet spot" damage values on certain frames.
Hit/Block	These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. D refers to knockdown on hit. "Cr. Hit" is an additional frame advantage value denoting if the advantage on hit changes when the defender is being hit while crouching.
Kara Range	Almost all normal attacks can be canceled into a special or a multi-button command within three frames of startup. During that time, some attacks will shift position forward or backward and affect the reach of the special or command accordingly. This is denoted in pixels of range. There are a handful of moves in the game that can be kara-canceled after this initial window and will be denoted as a late kara-cancel.
Link	A combo that is performed by inputting the second move after the first move has completely recovered (as opposed to cancelling the first move's animation). In 3S, the final frame of a move's hitstun allows a character to block a normal or special move, as well as some projectile supers. Therefore, an attack's frame advantage must be 2 frames greater than the followup move's startup in order to link. Ex: a +6 normal can link into a 4f normal/special, or a 5f super.
Parry	This field will show a value of A if the attack can be parried standing or crouching, H if it must be parried standing or L if it must be parried crouching.
Recovery	How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active.
Startup	How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or has a hitbox. 3S uses classic startup notation, which does not include the first active frame. A move with 3 startup becomes active on frame 4.
Stun	Amount of stun added to the opponent's stun bar on hit.
Throw range	Range in pixels from the center of the character to the center of the opponent which allows a grab to connect.

Higher strength versions travel farther (1st active frames all have the same range) - The LP version can be useful for anti-airing since it's less likely to go under the opponent
