Cody Super Street Fighter 4 Moves, Combos, Strategy Guide
Last updated on Dec. 7, 2009
Important Note — Information below is speculation
Cody's move list for Super Street Fighter 4 has not been confirmed yet, so the information below is based on his attacks from the Street Fighter Alpha series.
So while Cody will most likely have a lot of these moves in the new game, there's nothing guaranteeing each and every one will be available.
Special Moves
• Bad Stone / Knife Throw •
Holding the Punch button you use to execute this move will delay the projectile. Cody had a fake projectile throw previously, this was done by using the above command and pressing Start instead of Punch.
From screen shots we've seen that Cody's knife will be returning in some fashion, although right now it's unknown how he'll acquire it. In Street Fighter Alpha 3 he could pick it up by pressing Down + two Punch buttons.
• Ruffian Kick •
• Criminal Upper •
(After being knocked out of the air)
• Bad Spray •
In Street Fighter Alpha 3 this made Cody toss dirt at his enemy after being knocked out of the air.
• Zonk Knuckle •
Holding down a punch button and releasing it makes Cody do this attack.
EX Moves
• EX-Bad Stone / Knife Throw •
• EX-Ruffian Kick •
• EX-Criminal Upper •
(After being knocked out of the air)
• EX-Bad Spray •
Super and Ultra Moves
• Super •
• Ultra •

The knife was completely USELESS in SFZero3. Took to long to pick it up, and it was too easy to lose. Really, I didn't botter at all with it.
Hope it has more uses this time around.

what is the purpose of putting this up before the game is out? there is literally no indication that any of this is correct. if the purpose is to have the info up as soon as it's available just make a template but don't put it on the site and fill it in when you know the truth. putting potentially incorrect information doesn't help anyone.

@ummm
If you watch the video that just came out it looks like these are Cody's moves, so there IS a point to posting this because it's better to start collecting info now instead of months from now that way when the game hits we already know the moves.

It's called a Hypothesis. It's an educated guess at what his moves will be, based on actual data. I see nothing wrong here...

^^^^ The games isn't out yet so its not helping us anyway, so whats the difference.

@2 & 5
for people new to street fighter, this gives an impression of the character's play style. with that and the trailers, you can get a pretty good impression of how these characters are going to work and start to think about whether you'd like to play them or not.
if you don't like it, don't read it. it's not hindering anybody in anyway.

And yes, it is usefull even if the game is not out yet. I for one learned a lot about SF4 way before having a chance to pick up the game. By the time I did it, I already know most of the cast's moves.
Posted by ED on November 25, 2009 at 11:09 a.m. #8
By the way, I love how he poses in front of the wall from the first Street Fighter game.
Even that, or very similar.

EX bad spray only has one punch button listed ;)
Posted by Test Page for Apache on November 25, 2009 at 12:39 p.m. #10
It'd make more sense to say Cody's fake projectile uses the taunt button, not start… then you see how this might be brought into SSFIV.

@ #1 the Knife wasn't really useless, you could eliminate the delay from picking up by quickly tapping punch. The Knife was great because it made all of your punches faster, and they all did chip damage too.

hey good infos wild.id like to hear more. eventhubs rocks !!!!
Posted by Joe on November 25, 2009 at 6:09 p.m. #13
I'm glad that Cody made the cut. The name of the game is "Street Fighter"-what's more street than a knife-wielding, rock throwing prison inmate right?
Posted by al2k on November 25, 2009 at 7:11 p.m. #14
Happy to see Cody, Hate seeing the prison uni, Hopefully the will give his final fight look. Will there be more uniforms in the game.
Posted by Realpolitix on November 25, 2009 at 9:26 p.m. #15
I for one want to see how his general gimmicks and playstyle turns out in this version.
Posted by 3lectric on November 25, 2009 at 9:49 p.m. #16
wtF.. i never knew cody had that Bady Spray move o.0...
Posted by aaaa on November 25, 2009 at 9:50 p.m. #17
I think it's safe to assume that he, and also the rest of the new characters, will have the same moves from Alpha 3. I mean, how many of the old characters have new or different moves in SF4? It's almost a complete rehash of the old games.
Posted by aaaa on November 25, 2009 at 9:53 p.m. #18
Also, I doubt he'll have an EX-version of Bad Spray, if he has the move at all.
Posted by JohnJohnson on November 26, 2009 at 12:30 a.m. #19
Who cares what his moves are going to be, I just want him out of that stupid prison outfit. He looks dump. Hopefully he'll have his old cloths from FF as an alternative outfit.
Posted by Travers on November 26, 2009 at 7:32 a.m. #20
Why so many people want his FF outfit to return? I really wonder...
I mean it's ok, 20 years ago, a character wearing jeans and a white T-shirt could be somehow "original".
But today (2009) this outfit would look...completely uninteresting and out of fashion. Even the most minor characters in the lowest budget games today do not wear jeans and T-shirts.
Personally, for his second outfit I'd like to see him shirtless with his body covered by badass prison tatoos.
Posted by ED on November 26, 2009 at 8:42 a.m. #21
@Running Wild
Oh, I didn't know you could eliminate that killer delay. Then, ok, that makes the knife a litte more usefull.
But still... too easy to lose. Shouldn't fall when you get hit. Only if you get yourself knock-down
Posted by FF Streetwise sucked on November 26, 2009 at 2:08 p.m. #22
It actually doesn't really make sense why Cody still have his prisoner outfit. The gap between A3 and SF4 must be atleast five or so years, he should've atleast stolen new clothes by then. I mean, come on, people, continuity and story is what Street Fighter is all about!
Posted by Guester on November 26, 2009 at 3:58 p.m. #23
it would be pretty cool if his alternative costume will be his final fight outfit =)
Posted by Hrm on November 26, 2009 at 8:25 p.m. #24
Instead of his regular final fight outfit(The t-shirt and jeans), I'd rather see his outfit from Final Fight: Streetwise.
It's more visually distinctive
Posted by ED on November 27, 2009 at 3:11 a.m. #25
@ Hrm
Yeah, me too. I like Cammy's outfit from that game, too.
Posted by DreStinson on November 27, 2009 at 7:33 a.m. #26
@ 11 You're right about cody's knife... But I felt(and everyone I played against) that Cody's was too good! Not only could you cancel the pick up animation by just hitting jab, and get great chip damage off of those lighting fast jabs, but you also got great added reach, and it was easily comboable into his QCF Foward Kick. Plus Cheesing someone out with his knife throw projectile is too funny! So ED/21, the fact that he drops it whenever he gets hit is fair...cuz it's a great weapon!
Posted by anon on November 27, 2009 at 6:19 p.m. #27
Cody was shown using a wrench in a recent screenshot with his knife on the ground out of reach. I'm assuming something in his moveset or mode of play is dynamically different because of that.
Posted by Megatonbeef on November 30, 2009 at 12:49 a.m. #28
I've been wondering how his projectile attacks will work in thier ex versions. His rocks will probably have 2 hits but the knife is a little harder to get and throwing it causes you to lose a slight advantage, maybe an ex knife throw would do 3 hits and stop Akuma's red fireball that would be neat. It could also be one hit just stronger and faster.
Posted by Chun Li's Thigh on December 1, 2009 at 8:20 p.m. #29
I have a bad feeling that Cody is going to be low tier...
Posted by Metro City on December 2, 2009 at 8:14 a.m. #30
I dont care what his alt outfit is as long as it doesnt envolve handcuffs and pajamas. He looks like he escaped from a Gymboree.
Posted by CHARGE E. HONDA on December 9, 2009 at 5:43 p.m. #31
PRISON-BOY CODY might be worthy of MY genius hands but I'm holding out for MAKOTA , cody looks like he does little damage and has little mix-up qualities so i hope he can juggle and juggle right into ultra.
Posted by yoyo on December 10, 2009 at 8:47 a.m. #32
will be my principal
Posted by Me on December 10, 2009 at 10:23 a.m. #33
The biggest thing I'm interested is... about the pipe and wrench. I hope they will be lying on the ground like the knife cuz having Cody randomly pulling tem out of his ass for some moves would be stupid
Posted by Don. on December 13, 2009 at 11:22 a.m. #34
I remember when I underestimated Cody in Alpha 3.
Bad things happen when you underestimated Cody.
Posted by FINAL FIGHT Cody on January 1, 2010 at 9:06 p.m. #35
they should bring back the old school cody look, hed be badass with it on
Posted by Cammy's Ass on January 3, 2010 at 10:39 a.m. #36
Rumor has it Cody was raped in prison by Birdie. But Birdie taught him how to do a spinning pile driver, so that's good. So Cody will have an SPD in SSFIV.
But it could just be a rumor.
Posted by Muha on January 17, 2010 at 12:28 p.m. #37
Cody is the best!
Posted by Sfighter on January 20, 2010 at 12:15 p.m. #38
Cody is the best!
Posted by Nickysan on January 20, 2010 at 5:27 p.m. #39
Is it to late to change the knife into a sharpened tooth brush? That would be so awesomely funny I would have to main him.
Posted by er right on January 20, 2010 at 8:45 p.m. #40
so nickysan
u would actually main someone because he has some funny feature loool and that is why u will not be good at this game.
Posted by Nickysan on January 21, 2010 at 1:15 p.m. #41
My comment was clearly sarcasm, but thanks to the anonymity of the internet you should always be condescending when an opportunity presents itself.
Posted by jufe on January 28, 2010 at 6:28 a.m. #42
Cody's alt. is the FF look. Except he has a sleeveless shirt. But it's looking good: http://www.capcom.co.jp/blog/sf4/img_...
Though the handcuffs stay
Posted by llll on January 30, 2010 at 2:16 p.m. #43
It looks weird
Posted by Panda on February 1, 2010 at 1:47 p.m. #44
From vegas, we can tell that:
Standing HP, HK, and crouching HP are his anti-airs of choice
BnB combo is cr.jab x2, cr.MP, lk ruffian kick.
HK ruffian kick can be EX fadc'd into ultra 1
crouching mk goes under fireballs.

He is so balanced I'm gonna whoop so much ass with him
Posted by Oneil on February 12, 2010 at 4:04 a.m. #47
Im pretty sure everything here is accurate except they didnt bring back the bad spray move in SSF4. Im not sure what the input for his 2nd ultra will be tho
Posted by @Oneil on February 15, 2010 at 12:29 p.m. #48
Cody still has the Bad Spray move...it was mentioned in one of the developer blog entries.
