A modder ofStreet Fighter 5has added a fully playable version of one ofStreet Fighter 3’s most popular characters, Dudley. While fans have been enjoying and modding Capcom’s latest release in the long-running franchise,Street Fighter 6, there are still a bunch of modders who are working on the 2016 fifth mainline game. WhileStreet Fighter 5was one of the most polarizing entries in the series' history, there are a number of fans who are still modding the game, adding a number of costumes or full fighters based on past entries likeStreet Fighter 3.
Street Fighter 3is also one ofCapcom’s games that bombed at launchbefore eventually earning an audience in the fighting game community. At the time,Street Fighter 3’s roster barely featured any of the regulars, like Ryu and Ken, in favor of a “new generation” of fighters. While there were a number of standout additions, like the Yang Brothers, Makoto, and Elena, there were just as many characters, like Q, Necro, and Gill, who were considered strange compared to the more relatively down-to-earth cast of the past. However, Dudley is one character introduced in3who was a beloved newcomer.
While Dudley was added toSuper Street Fighter 4andStreet Fighter X Tekken’s rosters, he wasn’t a part of5or6’s rosters. For now, fans can use Dudley in this new mod forStreet Fighter 5created by Ryuski and killbox101. A new trailer posted by Ryuski went over some of the mechanics that were translated toSF5from Dudley’s moveset inSF4. These include giving him two unique V-Skills, his Cross Counter, and a Duck that allows Dudley to avoid fireballs and chain together a smooth offense. The modders even gave Dudley his ownV-Shift techniques, with these also giving Dudley more offensive options.

The trailer shows off a number ofDudley’s boxing techniques and combos, fighting against other street fighters and boxers in the series, like Ed and Balrog. The mod reuses a lot of Dudley’s old voice clips fromStreet Fighter 4, which gives him the image of a quintessential British gentleman who fights with honor. The trailer claims the mod will be released sometime next week, meaning it will be available for fans to download sometime in late April or early May if it gets delayed.
This mod received a lot of praise from theStreet Fightercommunity, with many fans impressed at Ryuski and killbox’s efforts to bring Dudley into a new game. After watching the trailer, many voiced their hopes that Dudley would be one ofthe next DLC characters forStreet Fighter 6, but for now, fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to play as the gentlemanly boxer inSF5via this mod.
