COMMAND NORMALS

STOMACH BLOW

F + MP

Stomach Blow is a great attack for Cody because not only does it move him forward, on hit it allows him to combo into Crouching Light or Medium Punch. On Counter Hit he can combo into another Stomach Blow and follow up with a combo. 

CRACK KICK

F + HK

Crack Kick is one of Cody's best attacks due to the fact that he can combo into EX Criminal Upper if you use it to hit airborne opponents. You can also combo into the Crack Kick after an FADC'd EX Zonk Knuckle, ending that combo with EX Criminal Upper. It will wiff on crouching opponents, which isnt all bad, in that it will allow you to mix up between throw and other attacks after it wiffs.

You can also combo Crack Kick into Ultra 1 against many characters.  If you time it right, you can combo Crack Kick into Ultra 1 against almost every characters.  See the community video below for more.
