Birdie General Thread: The Banana Bogey Brawler

another use for bullhorn get yourself out of mika pressure https://twitter.com/crusher_sodom/status/793489963505491968

Will have to test that out when I get home. He didn’t test it in the corner with meaty mp after that throw.

Wow this is actually really good to know. Crusher with the tech!
I’m definitely going to apply this, despite bullhorn having no reversal button window whatsoever.

I used to think Birdie his v-skills were awesome. But this game turned into one big rushdown affaire. I hardly use them anymore, using buttons for defence or offense are a more preferable than meter building / can shenanigans

any birdie buffs announced?

nothing yet…got to wait till the 20th it looks like.

No changes is better than nerfs.

Apparently slide is more negative on block.

I was really hoping for some buffs, but I’m afraid there’s only this slide nerf :frowning:

Birdie could really use some love capcom.

LPN reported those changes:

St.HP causes crush counter state now (?)
MK/HK bull revenger seems like it grabs faster
Penguin dive has less push back on block now. A bit easier to punish on block
More push back on HP Bull Head

lets wait til the actual thing comes out on the 20th before we abandon ship. I have a feeling thats not all he got.

i really hope they buff his V-skill and hanging chain. im cool with just that

Why did you tag my post with a disagree then?

i hope they buff birdie more, because the df.hp nerf hurt his neutral game a bit. i really don’t get why they buff the bull revenger, looks just a gimmick to me.
if they want make birdie viable they should buff birdie bull horn range to deal with guile/nash/chunli fireballs and buff his juggle potential after c.hp, is depressing you can’t do almost nothing when you land a c.hp.

looks like the build has changed from the psx so there is still some hope

Seems like we’ll get a lot more combo options

To me I see only nerf…

i think the changes are good, now we have more reactionary footsie tools (finally we are playing sf) and they nerf a little bit birdie’s spamming s.mk and slide you have to space it correctly in order to be safe (in S1 was free against some characters). i need test if the c.hp>bull head works like and anti air,if that works birdie is going to be really good in this season.

More up-close and combo tools + less of the stupid single-normal spam = a more fun character, at least on paper. Now people might be a little more worried about getting close, too.

Apparently, AA cr.HP into bullhead is a real thing. Jumping at Birdie is going to be a nightmare for people.
