if anyone has some highlvl birdie matches from beta phase 3,please post… we need some videos 
I saw few replays from the guy named LPN or something like that, he was highest ranked birdie at that time. Too bad I didn’t record it 
Well, I’ve gotten a +25 streak (on NoGreenhand) and a 45 winstreak (on BS_Angeluso), but I wouldn’t call it high or top lvl since it’s mostly filled with beating up people who refuse to block and getting crush countered.
I streamed around 10 matches with birdie here (this is also before I applied good blockstrings)

Birdie was god damn perfect in this build, I wish charge p had a little less start up but besides that leave my birdie alone damnit.
That EX bullhorn, vtrigger, EX bull head to end the round was so clutch, thanks for that.
the only thing i want with him is comboable jab and maybe a little faster star up on it…everything else about it him im happy with
That’s what EX Bullhorn and his Super is for. He’s already a really solid character that gives zoners a hard time. He doesn’t need Jab combos.
i’m not saying its a deal breaker i like him a lot and think hes probably one of the best characters in game. It’s just a small change i would like.
Iirc you can combo from and into jab with
- s.LP, s.LK, c.LP
- s.LK, s.LP, c.LP
- s.LK, s.LP xx LP Headbutt
I’m unsure about the first one, but the 2nd and 3rd one work for sure
I had a lot of fun with my short time playing birdie this beta. I felt like his jumping c.grab worked a lot better as a anti fireball tool and it’s placing in general.
He is a zoner’s worst nightmare. More than any of the other Grappler characters.

I think I said it before in this thread, but I don’t see him as a grappler. More like a slow, high damaging mid/long range zoner like jack-x in sfxt
Yea he is more of a zoner to me as well.
He’s definitely a grappler. Maybe a hybrid grappler. But definitely a hybrid grappler at least. He’s got 3 freaking command grabs for FFS. If that doesn’t mean he’s a grappler than the definition of a grappler has greatly changed.
Yea man I get all that, it just on feel alone, he doesn’t feel like a grappler to me. Hybrid grappler could be a better choice, but for him to be in the same classification as Gief just seems off to me. They play nothing alike.
Yeah, he’s way better than Gief.
Birdie has a grapple move, he isn’t a grappler at all. He is a footsies/read based character who controls space.
Also as an aside, the single hardest thing I fought against all beta was against a Chun who did non stop TK legs in my face, had no idea how to answer it as it stuffed everything.
Hanging Chain isn’t a grab. He only has two command grabs.
Birdie’s command grab doesn’t have the range a grappler’s command grab needs to have and his normals are too good for him to be a grappler.
Birdie is not a grappler; he’s an epicurean hugger. New classification.
my ONLY problem with him is how wack he is when it comes to people rushing him down and he doesnt have an answer for it because of the slow startup on everything he does and having long whiff recovery
