Air Fighter 3: Bird Strike

I think Penguins are pretty cool, but they have a weak ass air game.

Yes, but don’t forget they have a +10 advantage in water and and +5 on Ice; almost complete immunity. A must have when you fight on the polar stage. I’m picking him up as one of my mains.

People are still in the dark about puffins. They’ve got a lot of the strengths that penguins have, but have an air game (which is nonexistent for the penguins). Some of their shared strengths are weaker for the puffins, but it hasn’t been determined if these balance nerfs outweigh the huge addition of fly/unfly.

Blah blah blah everyone is picking these low tier gimmicky characters that you’ll never see in competitive play. It’s not like the game is balanced or anything.

Oh yeah? Ten feathers says my mid-tier Hawk can take your peacock to the nest. As soon as I get my ebthl (egg-between-the-legs) bnb combo down for the Penguin, I’ll take your hummingbird on, too.

The skies the limit.

omg

Albatross is broken.

We all knew that the big bird’s air game was top tier, being almost impossible to catch in the stretch. Only recently has the sheer insanity of its ground game come to light. “But the Albatross has no ground game! That’s its weakness!” , everybody says. Well, they’re wrong. If you actually manage to down the Tross, you are going to get raped by its curse effect. It doesn’t matter that you’ve managed to bring it down.

Man, I think I’ve said too much already. I was gonna be saving some of this for Winter Brawl.

Guys, I just discovered a swan infinite, but I’m saving it for the next major, so I’m not telling any of you guys.

But if any of you guys post it, credit goes to me.

I heard that Australia is getting exclusive DLC birds. That’s such bullshit if they don’t release them here too.

Nobody around here really plays Birds during the winter. I heard it stays popular further south, though.

Oh yeah definitely, Southern Cali is the closest to Japanese Bird Strike that North America can get.

Wow three frames? Fuck the air game if that is the case. Mid tier, free, since mobility is compromised. I can see other birds try and fly away most of the time. Damn the vultures and their projectile vomit.

guys how do I unlock the dodo

I know he’s usually a joke character but I heard they made him a legit pick in this one

this is that game where all those crazy ass Parrot sprite rips came from?

is Toucan in this ish too or was that just another rumor

You don’t unlock him. You FIND him.

I hear he likes to hang out in “Darkest Africa”…

Watch out for his legendary “Dance all over you” grab super at 4:20. 0 frame start up, can’t jump out of it.
And, the “whooooooooo” follow up is guaranteed.

Officially he was cut, but I heard one of the programmers liked him so much they kept him in as a super-hidden easter egg. I don’t think we’ve figured out how to get him, though

I just picked up Raven. Anyone got stats?

^ Hmm… I think the best piece of advice I can give you is that you can’t try to play him like Crow. They look similar on paper, but in practice they just do better doing different things.

possibly the best spam thread in years

i dont know about you guys, but this dude was using owl today and he was fucking up my crane. cr. lk x2 into hoot swoop, then you can sj. cancel into ex hoot swoop… makes me think it might be an infinite… luckly cranes standing parry evades lows. that cr. lk of owl has to be the fastest low talon move aside from humminbird.

Found a [media=youtube]a88OoFOwE4o&annotation_id=annotation_480631&feature=iv"]**Bird Strike PV[/B[/media] for hawk/buzzard.

Shows off some good crossup strats and uses for roll-cancel claw. (Lol @ hawk eating crossup head stomp at the end :rofl: )

Interesting
