Hit Confirms

Dudley has several moves he can link from to "hit confirm" a super. Briefly, a "hit confirm" is an attack that allows a player sufficient time to confirm visually whether the attack hit, to execute the super if it did (and do nothing if it was blocked or parried).

Links are done with SA1/SA3 in mind, SA2 is a frame slower and doesn't combo off of f+HK.

Many of these combos are quite strict. To make the links into super consistent, press HP for 1 frame, followed by releasing HP and pressing MP on the next frame, followed by releasing MP and pressing LP on the next frame, and releasing LP on the last frame. This technique is called pianoing, the goal is to get a consistent string of super inputs on 3+ consecutive frames.

Hit Confirm	Comments
f.MK (wait) > Super	Surprising range and hits crouching characters, +2 on block. Can be used to poke repeatedly due to forward movement.
cr.LK xx cr.LK xx Super	Low shorts into super - must be blocked low. Use the duration of both c.LKs to confirm whether the super will be blocked.
f.HK (wait) > Super	Overhead linked into super. Only works if opponent was crouching.
HK xx MK/HK.Ducking (wait) xx Super	The Ducking command dash must be super cancelled. At mid range every whiffed HK can be buffered into Ducking, so that any HK that happens to connect with a whiffed normal is cancelled into a Ducking (and into a super) This is safer vs dash up block than buffering into EX MGB, and can be safer to use in matchups where EX MGB won't combo on crouching hit.
st.MP/cr.MP xx LK/MK.Ducking (wait) xx Super	The Ducking must be super cancelled early; super can be blocked if super cancel occurs too late.
LK xx MK (wait) > Super	Can be confirmed off the 2nd hit only, useful in a game without absolute guard.
MK (wait) > Super	Low pushback, 0 on block
High j.hk > HP DP/EX DP/Super	This is your main "early timing" jump in, can beat many anti-airs that are safe vs parry. Super works from higher up than DP. Recommended to double tap the HP DP (1f press, 1f release, 1f press, 1f release) or to tap the EX quickly (2f press, release)
