Cody really turned his life around. From Street Punk to Prisoner, to Mayor. I'm so proud of my boy!
Bayonetta turned around too, she is gonna be shit in Ultimate!
@@JoNassRasierer God, i do hope she's nerfed hard in Ultimate
"I saved the city, saved the girl, but i couldn't save myself".
I'm glad Cody redeemed himself. It's not how you start, but how you finish. Also, Mike Haggar exonerated him from prison.
I'm glad he had a great outcome
I think I know why Cody kept pushing Guy away. Usually with depression people push those who are closest to them away as to not hurt them (even though it does the opposite), which makes this even more sad.
You could even say it was...profound sadness.
Whoa, Codys past sure was sad. Not sad in a pathetic, but actually depressing.
I'm calling it now Marlow = C.Viper
Change my mind ☕
CreepsMcPasta mind changed because C Viper is her own character in SF5 already. She’s currently investigating Urien and Q at this time.
Obviously helen
Marlow could very easily be Kolin since she's shown to be able to change her appearence through Gil's power. The Illuminati pretty much run things and have had their fingers in a whole bunch of pies pre SFIII so she could be there to keep an eye on Cody since it's been stated many times that he's quite powerful and could possibly pose a threat to the Illuminati. Or, she could just be a hardass secretary who knows about Cody's past and wants to keep him in check.
British Tea oh the street fighter community loves to be little theorists. Did we forget that Helen = Kolin? Why would she need 3 personas now? And her change from Helen to Kolin was a name change, that’s all. I see no correlation as to why Kolin would be Cody’s secretary. Especially if her story is starting out just now.
Crimson Viper is still voiced by Michelle Ruff, while Marlow is voiced by Tia Ballard.
Can't wait to see Bison, Cody, Urien, and G all running for president.
why would bison run for president,you make no sense,and Urien does become president, Street fighter 3 is chronologically after V.
Bison doesn't want to be the president he wants to own the entire planet! Urien just wants to be the leader of the Illuminati who, I'm guessing, is already kinda running things in the Street Fighter universe since it's been hinted that they've been funding all of Shadaloo's super secret evil plans.
M8s. If you can't find the comedy of those characters in a similar situation to the US Presidential Elections, then take a minute and think of Bison floating around the stage during a debate a la Donald Trump
but imagine if bison was president,all of his staff at the white house,would just be the dolls.

Never cared for Cody before cause i never knew his final fight history but now he's already one of my favorite sf characters after watching this
Him and Guy were like the only characters I played in SFIV bc Final Fight is one of my fav games. If you want to play it the new Capcom Beat Em Up bundle is a beautiful way to
Just bought the beat em up bundle. The game is amazing
I absolutely love the direction they took with Cody in SFV. Gotta give Capcom props for the decision, & I’m happy that Cody got his life together.
I think the handcuffs are also symbolic of mental self-imprisonment. Well, that and the fact that he literally just walks right back into jail. Haggar didn't just free Cody from jail, he freed Cody from himself.
Cody's actually one of the strongest in canon. Almost at Akuma's tier, in fact. The only thing holding him back is his lack of discipline or training. I believe this was stated by Oro, who is highest currently with believe it or not Dhalsim being the next. Then Akuma, then Cody. This canon could have changed, however, as that's old. Cody has no formal training. He's just brawling and it works. There's no special training or anything for what he does. Whipping out criminal uppers is just him punching so hard that it creates a whirlwind. His character type is like Slayer in Guilty Gear. He's seriously pulling his punches and looking for a challenge. This is what made him bored and lazy. Nothing ever really came close. He had good fights but he never had a challenge. He's the trope of the too strong and bored character.
Officially, it's Akuma = Oro > Gill > Gouken > SFIII Ryu > Urien > Black Moons Bison > Illuminati Nash > Cody => Zeku >= Guy > Necalli = Dhalsim.
Dhalsim is definitely not number 2, he fought V-Trigger Necalli to a draw.
Also just saying here but didn't Gen almost kill Akuma before he lose the killing intent cause he kill an assassin infront of Chun Li when she still a kid
Don’t know about that one 5th place at best if he trained hard it goes Akuma and Oro being equal
i think it's actually a case of him using the cuffs to hold himself back as he states that in his winquotes.(and even then it's still badass seeing someone outside of ryu/gouken actually be able to cath up in strength to/hold his own against akuma and in cases like gen actually hurt him physically/mentally.
Where could I find a canon ranking of the power, strength, etc. of every SF character? I’m just curious.
The reason I always took for why Cody insisted on fighting by himself is sort of the same as why he keeps his handcuffs on willingly. Shame and self-berating. Cody was depressed, and didn't want to disappoint his old friend by trying to improve himself (while he was a criminal) because he thought he was incapable of getting past it.
Who is Cody's mysterious assistant? After she left her former job as the deputy of Townsville, she changed her name from Sara Bellum to Marlowe, straightened her hair and moved to Metro City. There she found a new job and does pretty much the same she did before.
Cody’s story is really depressing ( pre SfV)
But in the end, look where he ended up :). I'm glad he ended up like this.
IIRC Cody genuinely believed that he was a criminal who should be locked up like all the other criminals in Metro City. Guy was still pretty much a "good guy" so he didn't want Guy to accociate with a criminal especially since they fought a whole bunch of them together.
Cody grew up admirably but still man that opening. You made me cry with locked up playing which was a good song and then you made me laugh with the they left the gate unlocked lol.
TURN THE BEAT BACK
1 2 1 2 3
*TURN BACK THE BEAT*
I love the colors chosen for Cody’s suit, With the blue and white not only being representative of his prison uniform, but his original final fight outfit. I would also wager that the orange on his design could be an allusion to the more modern orange prison jumpsuit we now see in most prisons, or more simply it could just be that blue and orange are contrasting colors that look well together
@DiGi Valentine, I like to think the reason for the secretary to have her face concealed could be a reference to the Powerpuff Girls cartoon. In that show, there is a woman named Miss Bellum who is the secretary to the Mayor in that show, she manages Townsville better than the Mayor. Both women are dressed in Red, can occasional scold the Mayor, dependable, and do not have their face exposed. Also, I am getting an air of fanservice with the secretary, while Miss Bellum had an hourglass figure in her depiction. Both are attractive, and work within limitations.
Metro City is in the United States, it could be a reference to American characters from a beloved franchise.
Q
Who are you
considering the rather noticeable shot of marlows butt in some shots being similar to mrs. bellum being a rather in hindsight tricky way of getting fanservice into that show/along with the being obscured by objects or being out of headshot(with a brief close up of her lips and beauty mark near it in the ending aside.) mostly i think it is a intentional reference.(i wouldn't be too surprised considering necalli's a giant shout out to kars and the pillar men from jojo even having transformations,and the games recently tying street fighter to its outside media and even other capcom franchises in a shared,if slightly reworked universe.)
I always believed that Cody should’ve been the ideal student Oro was looking for. Both characters hold back their full fighting potential with Oro binding one of his arms, and Cody’s handcuffs when we know he could just break out of them. They both state they go easy on their opponent, and if I was Oro I would be interested in where Cody gets his strength from. I would have loved to seen the more interesting relationship between them two rather than Oro and Ryu. It would have been fun seeing the hermit trying to teach the punk his knowledge of fighting and trying to pass it down to Cody. But either way Cody becoming mayor is also a good call so I’ll also take that
No he is, in SF4 there's a win quote with Oni that suggests that they're of comparable power if Cody wasn't holding back. He's near Oro tier already.
He never fought Hugo at all, that was Haggar, Cody fought the three elders (uncle, father and grandfather) in a cage match.
@@Spyder3107 SFIV quotes were poorly translated, though. Narratively Cody is just Guy's superior rival, who is superior to Base Bison which allows us to place Cody above Necalli and Dhalsim. But then it gets all muddy for us to place him higher than that, since then there is Illuminati Nash who held his own against Black Moons Bison (who Cody never fought & hasn't been stated to be superior to), then Urien who is somewhat comparable to Gill, then SFIII Ryu who is just incredibly focused, and then top-tiers like Gouken, Oro and Akuma. It'd take a lot of highballing & speculation to place Cody at that level.
One of my favorite things Street Fighter ever did was lean heavier into their Final Fight history. Quality work! Subbed.
Cody, ironically the only character that actually uses street fighting
knowing that Valentine had a patch of green on his butt was exactly the kind of reference i needed
Lmao
That image is forever imprinted in my brain
CODY for president 2020!
Better than Trump by MILES!
Yes start the voting now Cody will win
He'll just be stuck inside like the rest of us
When she says she's into bad boys but you go too far.
Yo how many mayors you know would throw down in the streets on behalf of their city? Exactly. Right on, Cody.
Since his release in SFV, Cody has now become one of my favorites of the cast. Excellent job on the video showcasing all his history!
He actually improved his fighting skills when he was locked up because he learned the Joe Higashi's Hurricane Upper from Fatal Fury, Johnny Cages Shadow Kick, Knife weilding attacks, and improved variations of his classic final fight moves.
aaahh yes, Cody, my favorite Street Fighter character even though not being one. I already love this episode. I can't tell you how excited i was when he was announced for Season 3 and got even happier when i found out he was coming out on my Birthday. It was truly a great time to be happy for myself
Man, I remember suggesting Cody ages ago. Glad to see you finally covering my fave street fighter. Keep it up man!
I love Cody's story. It's strange when he appeared in street fighter alpha 3 I didn't even recognise him at first until I read who he was in a magazine, and thought 'oh he's just been held for a crime he didn't commit', but nope, he has just lost his way.
Seeing him now, I just want to hug him at how far he's come, thanks to Haggar believing in him.
I’m surprised you didn’t include the little homage with his V-Trigger 2 being Haggar’s Pipe
I mean, one of the creators of "The Take over" won't shut up about "Final Fight, streetwise." So it's no surprise it's a strong homage to his childhood hero: Cody.
An interesting thing of note color palette-wise that I was surprised you didn't mention in some form since you're usually keen to talk color palettes: if you look at him, how Blue & White is treated in his design is also a bit of a bookmark.
in his classic design its a basic and large, seeing as its just a pair of plain jeans & a shirt. this is his basic ruffian state. a standard action hero
after he is jailed his ruffian white and blue is now the stripes of his jumper as if to point that his violent reputation is now the warning signs (a "real" prison jumper would be black or orange, so I really think this is a stylistic choice)
as mayor white and blue are de-emphesized, that part of his life is over. Now the blue & white stripes are the pinstripe detailing of his dress shirt
Great video, I really love this break down on Cody's character.
My favorite little quirk of Cody is one of his taunt showing he can remove his handcuffs at any point in Alpha 3
YES!!! ONE OF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS IN ALL OF GAMING!!!
Although, if I may make a critisism, there is ONE part of Cody I wish you discussed more: The fighting style. How it clearly shows him being a perfect embodiement of street fighting and mesured fun punching. His style of fighting was clean and snappy in final fight, before going dirty in SFA and SF4.
Cody for sure is one of the most well developed characters in the series. Also his SFV theme is a bloody belter of a tune
When your ex-girlfriend's father see's your worth more than your girlfriend ever did. Red Pill moment right there, son.
Where u been mannn
Even though he was really concerned about his friend, Guy never wanted to take any kind of action towards Cody's behavior because he thought that's how things were meant to be, Guy even says that he doesn't want to interfere in others peoples lives
I've been waiting for this and I was not disappointed in the slightest. Great job!
yes! I was waiting for another of your videos to come! cody's new design seems like it reflects his complex journey , and the stripes give an overall balance between high and low, and convey a sense of upwards verticality that is a parallel to his story.
I personaly even think that Cody is one of the most complex characters in all Final Fight/Street Fighter, great video as always!!!
keep up the good flow!
You're so funking good at these character descriptions, your writting is very good, your very articulated with your words. VERY VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER! You're the best moi8, the funking best. You keep this shit up, you're going places kid. No really, very the start of your early uprising, i told you that you had something good on your hands. X video later, here you are. Nice work my fellow youtube innovator. Your level of originality cant be matched. But the best part to your videos are how it relates to your audience so well. It's as though every new video you pump out sets the standard of quality a little higher each time.
Super impressive style of breaking down character sketches. You don't do character bios, but character sketches. Love your content. You always break down ish, in a way that inventive and creative. Dropping unheard gems, as an artist, as well as a fan.
Your video of "Q" of Street-fighter is heads down one of the best character sketch breakdowns I have ever seen. Working on such an elusive and mysterious Capcom character; working with only limited information and gleaning off the artist direction emphasized in the animations, taunts, color pallets, style was pure brilliance.
1:20 Miss nostalgic Cody the one who fights with the cuffs on because he's so over powered
Like your video and hope to see the next Who Dat? on Street Fighter.
Maybe Rose or M. Bison.
Solid video DiGi. Not gonna lie, this makes me appreciate Cody's character a lot more.
But wasn’t he wrongly accused? He was arrested by a member of the Mad Gear Gang, Eddie B, a corrupt cop
That's true facts, bro
@@marcushamner5994 then again. I did just get this from another video about Cody so I might not be right ^^'
Yes, the crimes Cody actually got convicted of when he was arrested by Edi. E (not B, quick correction there) were false, as he and Poison framed Cody to avenge Mad Gear, but Cody himself saw this as a punishment for his deeds. A punishment for going overboard in his fighting life, which is why Cody accepted the outcome of it all.
@@trevinodude oh yea he kept fighting people in the streets after the crime rate had gone down just cause he was addicted to it so it does make sense why he was arrested
he was framed for poison's crimes which along with the street fights he endlessly caused had him jailed.(as well as poison having a crush on him that by 5 seems to be at mutually having no grudges against each other.personally wouldn't mind cody & poison hooking up.:3)
I really like your videos and I love the streetfifgter and Final Fight series. I feel like these characters actualy exist, and THAT is good writing on the developers.
A nice video. KEEP IT UP
I liked the video before it even started!
Love this shit!
DiGi, my guy I'm not even 20secs in and you've already got me cracking up! 😂😂😂 Great stuff as always fam👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
My god DiGi. You've done a great job once again. Congrats my guy.
I was really hoping you would do a video for Cody and although it had a few inaccuracies (Cody got into prison via being framed by Eddi E. the cop who chases him in SFA3 and his breakouts to fight being a facade for his subdued desire for justice as seen in SF4) you did not disappoint, this was a well done video. Thank you. As for Guy, IMO its because Cody feels that he doesn't deserve Guy's friendship and in his depressed state tries to push Guy away unsuccessfully.
Great video! Nice editing.. Well done! :)
She's the secretary from the powerpuff girls, both are redheads, both don't show her face, both are secretary to the mayor
-But hey that's just a theory-
I have been waiting for this and I love it
One of the only channels that get me gassed when I see an episode.
I'd like to bring up something you might have missed, or simply forgot to bring up: his watch.
I think its a bit symbolic of his new found responsibility and visual representation that he no longer has the time or freedom to do whatever he wants anymore.
Also notice how he adjusts his watch on his wrist after certain attacks. It's sort of a visualization that he's still not entirely comfortable with his new role in the city. but although its uncomfortable, he still chooses to wear it, because he's still committed to doing what he needs to.
I might have read into that minute detail a bit too much but I still feel the designers were trying to convey something with the watch adjustment.
Great work mate
Wow, fantastic video as always DiGi, i'm so glad you covered the one and only CODELLE TRAVERSON.
Another excellent video, my man!
There's just something funny about a criminal breaking out of prison, and then coming to their own cell with take-out food or something.
My favorite character in street fighter and I didn't know you made this
I LOVE MY FELLOW BRITS DOING UA-cam VIDEOS OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS! THANK YOU GUYS! And also, of one of my favourite characters here!
I’ve been waiting for this
This was a fun vid. Nice work. Subbed!
I’ll never forget the first time I saw Cody from a SSFIV trial video and my inner edge lord thought a prisoner in a fighting game was cool. That was really my only reason at first, but now Cody stands as my #1 favorite Street Fighter character
I'm glad I found this vid. Cody clearly has one of the most successful and evolved story arcs in the whole series and what Capcom did with him was STELLAR. Let's hope they don't mess it up!
Apparently Cody already has broken out of his cuffs, since he likes wearing them for the reason you just described, but he can just pop them off whenever he pleases, as demonstrated by his taunt in Alpha 3 where he says what sounds to me like "No lie!" like he's saying "yep, they're for show.”
Also, about Marlowe. You know Powerpuff Girls? I know this is a weird parallel to make, but I like to think the dynamic between Cody and Marlowe is kind of like The Mayor and Ms. Bellum. Even down to Marlowe's red hair and suit.
Jac Sanchez / Slash Command Films is there a Link
@@The_WIll_OF_D99 ua-cam.com/video/oT8_gDLHpxM/v-deo.html
Two years later but there it is
@@JacOfAllTrades. yeah 2 years later lol. but thank you honestly :)
@@JacOfAllTrades. Cody is not in the vid
Theory: Marlow is actually related to Ms. Bellum from Townsville.
Oh my gosh! You did Cody! He's my favorite Street Fighter/Final Fight character!
I love this channel
YOUR FINALY DOING CODY AND I'M FINALLY EARLY !!!
FINALLLY
I REQUESTED THIS A LONG TIME AGO
Would love to see you do Akuma. The way you present this is awesome
Now THIS is my most favorite well-rounded , everyman, All-American fictional character. All children and people ought to become more like him. He learns and trains boxing and martial arts since age 9 ( in which people can simply do at home and at local academies). He not so serious into something foolish and ridiculous such as: becoming a warrior, or trying to save the world. Had a beautiful girlfriend that I wished he kept forever, gotten married, and has his stellar career as Mayor. And has high intelligence also. And have such a peaceful, normal, boring life. He's kinda like: X-Men's ICEMAN, She-Hulk, Big Barda, Power Girl, Enchantress, and Teen Titans. My most favorite superheroes.
Thank you for doing this 😀
My favorite Final fight/ street fighter character he came a long way! Too great
Ms. Marlow reminds me a lot of Ms. Bellum from Powerpuff Girls
Probably the best looking character art you’ve had on the show so far imo
Also something i noticed about Cody's outfit bookmark thing is that Cody's first outfit is kind of simple, due to his kind of simple lifestyle of fighting crime, his second outfit is really simplistic (i mean LOOK AT IT it's just a onesie with cuffs) signifying his really simple new lifestyle of just fighting for the jist of it, and then you have his third outfit that is kinda complicated representing his now more complicated lifestyle of being the president.
Good work man.
So glad Cody got his groove back! I still felt like so much was taken from him since SFAlpha 3 but finally got the respect! Sad he still doesn't get Jessica....
he is once again here to turn the beat back
Terry Bogard had the white t shirt and jeans look too, he just added a red jacket and red hat to his.
Yay! A new video!!!!
I feel like it's a reference to Ms Bellum from Powerpuff Girls.....or C. Viper, your pick XD
That picture he drew over in his SFV arcade ending kinda gives you clues. Maybe at some point he'll rekindle with everyone.
I was waiting for your next episode for a while. I was kinda hoping it would be on Birdie since you’re both British and he’s my favorite, but I’ll gladly take this too. Looking forward to watching it, mate!
(Also I get the feeling you don’t like Birdie so that would be fun to watch)
Bruh, I've been waiting on this one!!!!
When he describes some of the outfits, I get the impression that he would rock some of them. Cody is no exception..
Good video my dude can't wait for the next one also are you doing anymore jet set radio or jsrf videos in the future?
When speaking on the handcuffs, you could've mention his SFA3 taunt, when he literally opens them with no problem, to warm up his hand and then clicks them back again. That surely proofs the fact that having them on is purely his choice.
Oh, and btw, other than that I think this is the best Who Dat episode yet! :D
@4:11 is some pretty graphic promotional art. I remember seeing it as a kid after my mom bought me Final Fighter and was unfazed by it then. But looking at it now threw the sensitive goggles of 2018, it’s amazing it got past the censors. Andore has blood gushing from his head(apparently dead) and Cody has blood dripping from his knuckles. It reminds me of the good ole days when there was actually blood in Street Fighter II. Another thing I noticed about this art was it’s clear that Cody was always meant to be the star of the game. Everyone else has a fighting stance up and is tense, but Cody is just relaxed and waiting for the next opponent to try him lol. My boy!!!!!
What's also dope about Cody is how they maintained the blue and white color scheme throughout all of his outfits gradually having the blue and white switch places in terms of prominence.
Can u do who dat maki she's pretty underrated tho
I think Marlow is a homage to Miss Bellum from the power puff girls. Although I hope she is secretly Jessica.
Looking on point
Clean ass opening skit fam
I love you digi😍
He's the one guy who actually does 'street fighting'
