Dudley (ダッドリー) is a character in the Street Fighter series. He first appeared in Street Fighter III.

Story
Dudley is an English Boxer and a refined gentleman. He was born in England to a wealthy family. His father was a former athlete who became a successful businessman. From the time he was a little boy, he wanted to be a fighter but his family told him he was too small to compete. Later, his father lost his business and the family fortune. The losses prompted Dudley to take up professional boxing to earn back lost assets. Dudley then grew into a formidable boxer and was able to bring his family back to affluence. Despite everything that has happened, Dudley still boxes.

Super Street Fighter IV
Dudley 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: (1) to look for suitable floral additions to his garden and (2) to take his mind off of his father's car, which is missing (presumably repossessed).

Street Fighter III: New Generation
When his father's prized Jaguar was purchased from a debtor's auction, Dudley goes after the buyer, a man named Gill. Although he didn't win the tournament, Gill was impressed enough to give Dudley the Jaguar back.

Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact
Dudley's storyline is unchanged between Street Fighter III: New Generation and Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact.

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
Dudley has received 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.

Trivia

 * Dudley's personality as a dandy British boxer is possibly based on real-life boxer Chris Eubank, an eccentric Jamaican-English champion famous in the late 80s and early 90s, whose trademark attire included a monocle and bowler hat.


 * Dudley's Rolling Thunder resembles the Dempsey Roll, made famous by Jack Dempsey, a heavyweight world champion in the 1920's. The Dempsey Roll is also used by the character Makunouchi Ippo from the series Hajime no Ippo. Additionally, his Corkscrew Blow resembles the "Heart Break shot" used by Date Eiji and his Machinegun Blow resembles the Flicker Punch used by Ryō Mashiba, both from the series Hajime no Ippo. Dudley's Cross Counter move is inspired by the move of the same name performed by Yabuki Joe from Ashita no Joe. He takes the same no-guard stance that both Joe and rival character Rikiishi take during their famous scenes. Dudley's Corkscrew Blow is also very similar to the move of the same name used by Jose Mendoza in the same series.
 * Dudley and Vega share a birthday (January 27, according to the Super Street Fighter IV website) they are both Aquarians and were born in the chinese year of the rooster.
 * Dudley's jumping LK/MK is an elbow strike that can be mistaken for a knee strike to some fans.
 * In Final Fight StreetWise if you go in Mike Haggars Gym if you look closely at the posters on the wall it says Dudley vs Balrog.
 * Dudley always seems to be wearing his boxing gloves, even when drinking tea.
