I set the dummy to randomly go between that block string and one where she just blocks after sMP I’m having a hard time reacting to the crMK if I don’t know it’s coming
its really tough to get it consistently
im at probably 30% success rate under pressure but atleast you’ll have VTC to make it safe and if it hits then it’s 200+ dmg
combination of good reads help too
Blocking her crMK basically resets back to neutral anyway so I probably wouldn’t risk it unless I had VT.
Yolo Bullhorn VT and yolo ex Bullhead VT are my signature moves Kappa
If you’re trying to punish Cammy’s, st. Mp into cr. MK with bullhorn, make sure she is around max range with her st. Mp first before committing with your bull horn. When shes close, theres no chance of landing that punish even if you react to her cr. Mk.
Its a solid tactic against a Cammy that manages to get in and goes pressure happy. Especially if you have v-trigger stocked.
It’s worth actively using the damaging GTFO moves you’ve got. Birdie has trouble with his defense, so anything that can make people hesitate before going HAM on him is worth it. Totally gonna be doing some YOLO into VT once I get back into this.
One of the system changes in season 2 was:
"Hold button moves. Changed so certain special moves that activate when the button is released can be used as a buffer"
Does anyone know how this is implemented in Birdie’s gameplay?
Does it mean that combos are easier or something else?
Negative edge moves benefit from the 3 frame pre buffer and reversal window now. It means that birdies and balrogs button hold moves work like everyone else’s.
Fuck the birdie guile matchup.
never seen a more skewed matchup than that one.
Guile is so stupid with his safe options
Any tips on the birdie vs balrog matchup?
It’s a really tough match
Bullhorn when he does vskill boom jump-in set up
Bullhorn booms on reaction when he’s within range
Try to build vtrigger asap
Neutral jump booms from a safe distance
Harass him with stHP at max range
I remembered your advice to walk up block and neutral jump booms to bait flash kicks on the guile matchup and it helped me a lot. Thanks! Stand Hp and Fwd Hp also worked wonders at certain ranges.
Ill try the balrog advice next time, any advice against the new and improved urien and juri? Juri seems too mobile and fast to keep pressure on, and urien is so good offensively and can zone birdie out if he needs to.
edit-The night I wrote this I lost 300 pts to a laggy guile player T_T
Im not sure how viable this is or if this could be done before (slower can maybe makes it possiable?) but beats everything except ex dp can grab if the block the can also you can do it right in there face can will miss…but you can still do it pretty close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ0sg47Vxkk&feature=youtu.be
More options is good
Birdie needs all he can get
Plus it looks fancy
Thanks will try to incorporate this
You can probably mix it up with cmd throw after blocked can
Looks like you’re still in range
I always love dropping food on people in the corner.
Such blind panic with people who don’t know the match-up.
i saw someone make a post about this it got me thinking about doing this type of stuff in the corner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0yVIRTdxcc
From what I understand, doing that corner stuff into a crHPxxBanana is safe against DPs. If they jump or hit a button, they bail, so you can sit there and react to a DP or slip and hit-confirm. If they sit tight and block, it’s plus. I’m not sure if there’s some easy way to avoid it, though (and setting it up takes V-Trigger and maybe a bar if you felt like it anyway).
There’s not much he can do. Try to V-Skill to build meter, do the downfoward HP to sneak under Booms at max range, try to use MK and HP to poke him, EX Chain and EX Bullhorn can blow up his Booms. EX Bullhorn is better at that obviously.
Not much you can do. I’m so glad that Capcom made Guile’s V-Trigger 2 stocks now because he desperately needed that buff.
So what’s your guys opinion on birdie this season? i like the way i have better oki after my command grabs now. miss the damage and my crouch lk though.
hey quick question is ex bullhorn v trigger cancel safe?
Yes it’s safe
CrLK is still really good
I think birdie is better this season
-2 ex bullhead is insane
