I really hope Cody becomes a must have in the series. This season really makes him feel like someone who should have existed since sf2. He’s just one of the most overall enjoyable characters in V.
Baf you forgot to mention that EX Zonk Level 2 laxed juggle state now allows for H Ruffian when it only allowed for M Ruffian last season. Also, you can now combo Hammer Kick into the wall bounce into Crime Sway Wrench Fist as well for great oki and damage. You can also just delay Crime Sway Wrench Fist to make it hit the wall bounce too and all of that is cancelable into V-Trigger. Cody also can cancel a Tornado Sweeper off of the second hit of stand fierce when anti-airing and it'll hit the opponent's guard on the way down, allowing Cody to be +10 on dash-up, this gives him something more meaningful off stand fierce anti-air when it was kind of lackluster last season.
@@Bafael LOL!! Yeah, you're a Sakura boy so, ya wouldn't have. Just as a caveat, the stand fierce AA cancel into Tornado Sweeper usually only works from a far-out jump, if you cancel on a close jump, it'll whiff and the opponent will be in your face ready to bonk you. You need to learn the ranges before canceling but, it's not really hard. Now, reupload the video!!! Kappa.
Also if done around midscreen range, you can juggle M ruffian after the lv2 ex zonk into H ruffian combo, leading to massive dmg (up to 465 with 1 bar)
I was just mashing everything, as you do in fighting games, and fount that one of my shoulder buttons did the thing. After that, I played Cody for about two matches, switched back to Sakura and spammed forward mk until I was 24 years old.
Some of these buffs are pretty wild, but it’s strange how he didn’t necessarily need many of them. He got buffs on a lot of his already good aspects, (EX Zonk, VT2, damage output in general) so while he’s probably better, not a lot of these buffs are game changing. The rapid cancel low confirm is nice but also seems like the bare minimum he could’ve gotten for a low confirm, and the bad spray change is a great buff to his defense. His matchup spread is gonna stay the same, but his offense is considerably more scary now.
@@zonk834 that's why the buff is godlike, before it was just high risk, now it's high risk, high reward, that good balance design. Also it's 3 frames, and literally even all pro level of players get hit by 3 frame lights on wake up, it's definitely not easy to react to a 3 frame start up for anyone, experienced or not experienced. It's actually better than the majority of 3 frames lights, because 3 frame lights lose to meaty mediums and heavies, so Cody literally has the only 3 frame wake up in the game that doesn't trade with a light, and beats out a medium, and the caveat is that it trades with heavies. To balance how great that is, it's unsafe on block which 3 frames lights aren't.
@@Hollowdarling actually the bad spray animation is not truly a 3 frame animation. it's just 3 frames beginning from the point when he's considered to be hittable. however before that 3 frames begins, there is a significant animation Cody goes through that telegraphs the bad spray and is distinct from any sort of quickrise animation. if you are expecting bad spray, you will never be hit by it, because of this factor. normal 3 frame moves have no such telegraph so it's always 100% a guess. the reason bad spray works sometimes is because people go on autopilot and they forget Cody has the move. not many people play Cody and of those players, many do not use Bad Spray (because it's not very good), so sometimes you will catch people. Bad Spray is a lot better now but it still has the considerable weakness of being telegraphed.
Asoluley killed it with the video!! I’m super excited for the new level 2 zonk combos, because it now gives him his max damage 1 bar mid screed damage, which was only previously possible on 6 characters and if you had VS2, and now, assuming you have the charge, you can consistently get the same damage across the board, and bad spray being an actual move now is really nice. Thanks for the amazing content baf :)
Vt1 was always really good if you didn't have the execution to pull off VT2 robberies. J.HP in VT1 is so ridiculously long and can be combo'd into MP>HP target combo into knife command grab. Not to mention VT1 gives you something of a replacement for tornadoes that you lose while either is active.
s.HP being cancelable on 2nd hit lets him special cancel his anti-air into h.ruffian for a side-switch on close jump-ins, or into h.tornado on far jumps for either some free chip damage, or a hit that can combo into some serious follow-ups.
I hope his buffed VT1 is able to help him in matchups he previously struggled with. I would like to think that's the original intention of giving characters varying VT and VS.
I picked up the knife recently and feel it helps a lot against karin and chun, but not much against poison and sim tho. Still, i found it to be a lot of fun and dont think i will go back to the pipe!
I don't even know why I've watched all of these: I don't even watch SFV content. I stopped playing this game years ago. I guess I wish games I played had such a concise patch reading somewhere.
I don't even LIKE Street Fighter and I'm subbed to Bafael (I do play other fighters though). There's something about the logical, easy to understand breakdowns Baf gives that really appeal to my intellectual thirst for knowledge.
@@Bafael okay I'm going to watch again and try to implement it in my gameplay. I've been a cody main since the alpha series so trying to figure him out again
@@zonk834 no it isn't lol. Who the heck is reacting to 3 frame start up? Thats literally the fastest standard start up in the game. People can't even react consistently to 6 or 8 frame start up, and you think this is reactable? I gotta see this, link me to a video. I'm genuinely curious.
@@Hollowdarling the attack itself is 3 frame start up but bad spray has a separate animation from quick rise thus making it reactable. i know how frames work. i don’t have an example on hand but mdz jimmy punishes it practically every time. also generally reaction times in terms of 60fps is around 16f
@@zonk834 a difference in animation wouldn't make it easier to react to. Since the animation itself would still be 3 frames before active and recovery frames kick in, if you could react to bad spray and block, anyone would be able to react to a 3 frame light wake up then, and that does not happen. I think what you're confusing is mdz Jimmy probably just baits it out a lot, which ppl even do with 3 frame lights too. But that is absolutely not reacting, baiting is done preemptively. You gotta understand it's almost humanly impossible to react to something that fast, 3 frames happens in way less than a second. The start up animation would have to match that speed, which is way faster than a second. No one can react to that. For reference a frame happens in 1/30th of a second. 😳
Urien: "You cannot escape my Aegis Reflector!"
Cody: "BELIEVE IT OR NOT I'M ACTUALLY PRETTY BUSY"
Cody is probably the most recognizable as an actual Street Fighter in terms of his fighting style. Fists rocks and pipes.
He also *literally* fights in the streets in Final Fight.
Fighting in the streets since '89.
And the knife too
I would count Birdie too even if he got more... food court like.
Don't mention fucking wind! The designer be like "You know what will fit a thug with a street fighting style? Yep, wind that's what". I mean, it doesn't look like it belongs to the character.
Jesus, Cody hits like a truck. That two-hit confirm change on his stand heavy punch is gonna make my life SO much easier.
In the corner with no VT on a post-stun EX Tornado Sweeper combo , that extra hit adds like 15 more damage. I love it!
My man did a quarter of Ryu's life off a two-piece
Chunky-ass damage
Cody is approaching his canon levels of strength and it's glorious.
What cannon levels of strength?
It is said cody in cannon is one of the most powerful characters in street fighter
Cody actually is THE Street Fighter. Him Oro, Q, Hugo, Abigail, and Alex are the strongest characters in the canon. While Akuma (Gouken) , Evil Ryu (Kage) , M.Bison, Balrog, Vega, and Abel are some of the deadliest
@@neiko9251 thats a weird way to put it, is the 2nd category just the ones that actually want to kill you

Same!!! Hope he makes it to the initial roster of sf6
Just recently picked up Street Fighter, and sorta got attached to Cody. These videos have honestly been super helpful
Bro I see so many Cody's online.
@@GregInTechnicolor he’s a cool character, i can see why there’s a lot of Cody Players lol
@@GregInTechnicolor Well get ready for another one

admit it in older games you didn't know how to get the knife

Hell yes I've been waiting for this video specifically. Been a Cody main since he released and these buffs are massive. Thanks, baf!
Goddamn I just noticed Cody did 237 off a st.HP xx H.Ruffian
Boy got some chunky damage
Shame I don’t gel with Cody’s gameplay design. He’s such a cool character.
Sometimes it be like that
I feel that way about so many characters
i had to switch my control scheme to play him how i wanted to and it’s the best choice i’ve made regarding SFV. his toolkit is so useful.
Necalli in a nutshell. Such a good character design wasted on the most boring gameplay.
Same with menat and fang

You're a hero to all sf players.

Baf made Bad Spray sound so cool here but I've never seen any Cody players use it, not even once, ever.

Cody is my main character, he needs all these buffs to be the new Mike Haggar of Metro City 🔪
3:41 "..... I'm pretty busy right now."
Another one. Amazing productivity.
finally gonna see some knife cody combos in actual matches now
cool
Would you like buffs?
Bingo
TIL I need Cody specific meaties now
Was Haggar in charge of Cody's changes?
Bad spray alone is going to make him top tier. He was good before but now he can neutralize like half the game
I mean you can still meaty a 3f heavy lmao

THIS IS STREET FIGHTER ZERO V
Ahh I kinda want sfV... but is there a version with everything in it? And does it go on sale?
Championship Edition includes the first 4 seasons, but not season 5. It's $30 USD normally. Not sure what it is on sale though.
i've noticed that base SFV will go on sale frequently but any special editions never will
Champion was on sale 1 month ago on psstore.
alright yall I caved and got it for like $17. I blame @Bafael and will be demanding new videos in the V-Skill 1 playlist as payment.
Waiting for Momochi 😍
What happened to his old moves???
Have this patch came out yet because my ex zonk don't make them hit the wall or mid zonk doesn't cause spin
You have to hold it for a certain amount of time to get the improved properties. About 6-7 seconds I think

One thing, I can't get over the fact of how ugly his LK is lol
