BIO:

A highly skilled boxer, and a true gentlemen, Dudley is the son of a wealthy British noble. His father was a former athlete turned successful businessman. Eventually, his father lost his business and the family fortune. The losses prompt Dudley to start boxing in an effort to become wealthy enough to buy everything back. He is successful and brings wealth back to his family on boxing alone. During the timeline of SF3: New Generation, Dudley sets out to find the man who purchased his father's old Jaguar (Gill). He joins the third World Warrior tournament to meet Gill and buy the car back. Although Dudley doesn't win the tournament, Gill is impressed enough with Dudley's skill to give the car back.

During the timeline of SF3: 3rd Strike, Dudley has been knighted, receiving the honorary title of "Sir" after making a comeback and winning the championship title. He was then invited into a contest that will be held in the presence of the royal family. He decides to travel the world and improve himself before the day of the match. Dudley is also shown to have a great interest in the gardens of his estate, occasionally losing track of time or getting lost, as shown in his Third Strike ending.

During the events of SSF4, Dudley is the reigning British boxing champion and is invited to participate in S.I.N's tournament. Although he finds the invitation to be lacking in "social graces," he accepts for two reasons: to look for suitable floral additions to his garden and to take his mind off of his father's car, which is missing. After the tournament, Dudley returns home empty handed but is pleased to suddenly find a wild rose in his garden.

First off, Dudley is in no way, shape, or form, a "Balrog-ripoff". Even though they're both boxers, Dudley fights almost completely different from Balrog and does the "art" of boxing a lot more justice with his flashy & dynamic fighting style. Dudley's well-executed punches and personality speaks for itself, and he effectively takes the place of Balrog in the SF3 series.

As a fairly decent SF3 Dudley player, I was ecstatic when I heard about his return in SSF4. However, his new voice actor wasn't to my liking... c'mon Capcom, what happened to Dudley's badass (deep) voice? :/ He sounds so different in Street Fighter 4. On top of that, I was saddened to see Dudley's stance animation and a few of his moves looking a bit "sloppy" in 3D... he doesn't move nearly as fluid as he did in the SF3 series. I guess when you've become accustomed to SF3's epic animation, it's hard to accept anything less. Dudley looks good in SSF4 (as far as his character model goes), but the "heart" of the original design just isn't there if you ask me. Nonetheless, Dudley is badass and one of my favorite SF designs. Along with Steve Fox, he's one of my all time favorite boxing characters!
