Birdie Beginners Thread: Grabbing the Bull by the Horns

Learning to punish with anything is just about matchup experience. You need to learn what is unsafe enough for you to land that first hit with.

Just try to punish stuff with it, basically. You’ll take damage when you do it wrong, but after a couple of rounds you’ll have a rough idea of where you are able to punish, and where you just need to block.

Actually I think my biggest problem is getting used to punishing from standing – so used to starting punish from crouching so there’s another step.

Probably, considering you get an extra frame to link the second st. lk. Is the only advantage of linking into a st. lp the extra 10 damage?

How do you control the distance of birdies command grab? I recall seeing LPN do hanging chain into EX bull revenger

You hold forward or back. It doesnt move alot but it seems like it change where it can connect

Only forward works

Really? Then the grab box on ex is huge lol.

At 8 min mark my last revenger still connected and it looked like it went over him lol. Cause the corner pushed him back?

That’s because Dhalsim was still directly under you and the corner prevents you from going much further.

EX Bull revenger activates while Birdie is airborne with the hitbox being infront and right under him.
He doesn’t land first, to grab whatever’s in front of him like the normal versions.

Damage and you can negative edge the cancel into bullhead.

I think Lk Lk bullhead is much more reliable for online and it seems to have better range, but my execution is garbage, so I use every crutch I can find.
