You can chain grab sims limbs, should stop the dash under fireball trap
That’s rly good to know!
Also, u can eat donuts and fill vbar as long as sim is fullscreen and isn’t doing random teleports. The fireball doesn’t go completely fullscreen.
When you’re in midscreen, you can go under his fireball with heavy headbutt xx super (that’s how I ended 2 sim matches). You need to be on point with your reactions though.
A lot of birdies move are more read based, like chain grab air. If you are throwing it when you see them jump, you’re to late
Well since the previous hitconfirms don’t work anymore and since s.MP isn’t positive on block, I’ve changed my approach on pressuring after a jump.
Now I usually scramble between these options
xup, sLK, sLK, sHK
xup, sLK, sLK, sMP xx m.bull revenger
xup, sLK, sLK, overhead
xup, smp xx hitconfirm into headbutt xx super
Ran into a lot more birdie mirrors today. Had one all day yesterday, today had 5 already.
Keep birdie unpopular please
Unfortunately, this only seems to work against Ryu cr.MK xx LP Fireball. MP/HP/EX Fireball will all hit you out of f.HP, so it’s not a viable tactic. I don’t think frame 2 armour is quite accurate.
Against Ken, it interrupts his cr.MK xx HP Fireball, so it’s actually worth doing in that matchup.
For both, cr.MP xx HP Fireball is a blockstring and reaches farther than cr.MK, so I’m pretty sure most players will go to that over cr.MK once they play a little more and get used to it.
His slide attack (df+HP) seems to be buffed.
In the previous builds you couldn’t start the match with it and duck under any fireball, but now you can smoothly go under an opponent who starts the match with Ryu’s fireball.
Also in neutral it seems to just go over lows and under fireballs much easier.
Is the 1st, 2nd and 4th one a combo?
No they’re blockstrings and frametraps since I think it’s more worthwhile to go this direction compared to s.lk, s.lp xx lp.headbutt (this is a combo).
4th one is also combo though.
It’s his secret best move now.
i did really good with him so im thinking this is going to be my guy at launch and see how alex is.
Man I really wish his TAP was charge or something instead of buttons. So many times I release for ex for easily called reversal, and then nothing comes out.
Naw it needs to stay, it’s perfect
man with gief just throw down a banana peel and there is literally nothing he can do
Just noticed a big nerf for birdie, the hanging chain cancel doesn’t build meter 
Banana is being slept on, that move is crazy.
Very strong, but depends on the match.
The banana is fucking GDLK yo!
