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!
