Birdie General Thread: The Banana Bogey Brawler

[ElSandwichMeng]

Birdie can’t use sMK and sHK against Zangief’s new counter.

It’s still a good matchup, ma sHK is not as safe as before

You’d be surprised how bad that match up is for Gief. You can literally just use banana, sweep, cr. LP, anti-air if he jumps rinse and repeat all match long and there is ZERO that the Gief can do about it.

I know it’s good for Birdie, that’s what I said. I’m not surprised at all. But the new counter move works perfectly against Birdie’s sHK. So it got worse, not better. Besides Zangief now can punish EX Bullhead more easily than anyone else in the game, because a reversal SPD is much easier to do than a reversal normal. So no, it did NOT get better

i think cammy beats birdie in this season (6-4 in cammys favor), because she can press s.mp all over the place and birdie can do nothing, also the neutral is difficult because cammy divekicks are hard to anti air.

i think in the new balance patch, boxer, bison, cammy, mika, laura, rashid, ibuki, fang, gief, karin and akuma becomes better for birdie. guile, nash and sim becomes harder.

Bull horn blows up any blockstring started with St. MP. Cammy can’t do much to Birdie unless she corners him. You can literally spam St. HK and if she times.to challenge with any button, it becomes CC city

STand MP Cammy Anti air you can’t do much about.

Stand MP up close on block very hard. People can whiff punish (because of the hurtbox expansion) so he can’t just stand HK all day with him against her. You have to play smart and run. She gets ONE anything into cannon drill he has to guess the rest of the match.

I really want to know how good Birdie his cr mp will be. Does anybody has hit and hurtbox comparisons?

[Za_Fuuru]

It will be better against Vega’s Flying Barcelona Attack

It doesn’t change much against regular jump-ins

I’m waiting for the next patch to see this thread bustling again.

Any thoughts on Birdie 2.5? How bad is the ex bullhead nerf?

unless you relied on just spamming it one after another or just doing it randomly alot, not that bad
1f ex bullhorn helps his defense big time though
no more interruptions

So birdie seems to be free on wake-up now since EX killing head loses throw invincibility.

I think the thought process is that, since throw loops and pushback in general have been changed, EXKH would risk being a bit “too much”. I won’t complain too loudly; there are other options and the new VT2 stuff looks pretty killer.

Throws are nerfed. You better eat a throw than throw a risky EX KH, which loses anyway against neutral jump

The donut doesn’t recharge the V-timer anymore
