yeah I don’t think Guile is gonna be bad for him. Bullhorn creates a threat for Booms, let’s Birdie claim space if Guile respects that option, enabling Birdie’s midrange.

If you get bonked fullscreen getting back in might be hard though, careless jumps in that MU are gonna hurt Birdie hard.

EDIT**
I think Birdie is really well designed. I like him the most out of every character I think is strong in the game atm, because his base kit feels very well-rounded and his VTs don’t lock him out of any options super hard.

Also buttons.

Having a character with buttons is cool. His cr.lp is nutty. His data is also just nutty. Wish majority were like him normal/data wise.

During VT1 birdies normal bullhorn gets armor frame fucking 1. Vho asked about armor and I realized the bullshit hiding in plain view. Fuck that character. Everyone else has to spend meter for reversals, not this fuck.

727

He has no throw invinc option now so it’s easily covered though, and it’s unsafe as fuck on bait.

I think it’s alright. More moves should have frame 1 armour tbh.

728

Good thing Ed has armor break

729

G should have frame 1 armor

Sakura at the top of upper mid? Can you explain?

731

G beats Blanka 6 4. He’s broken.

(he listed it as 6 4 but he means Blanka’s 4 6’s)

732

That’s a really good tier list man. Can’t find much fault with it.

733

Not without more armor breaking options they shouldn’t, especially since it takes less damage from the absorbed attack.

734

Wouldn’t need more armour break considering they’re used as reversals, you aren’t ever gonna have time to break shit like ex elbow or ex peach(that has armour right?)

You’d just meaty throw their ass. Or tick throw. Given the way SFVs data currently works though yeah, they’d be dumb.

735

You let those armored boys cook.

Seriously just walk up and toss Birdie’s wanker ass and thank him for paying you a bar of meter to do it.

Can’t treat him with any respect.

736

Also, what’s so bad about Blanka?

Nevermind, I’m in training mode with him. This character is terrible.

Idk I’ve just never been a fan of how armor moves in SFV worked. They finally made it so armoring through a move you don’t have enough health to survive kills, but then they totally axed the damage they take so that you almost never have to pay attention to the health you lose from armoring through an attack. You take little damage and you can regenerate it since it’s only white health. It’s even more dumb when you notice the attacks you are typically bulling your way through (fireballs/slow but long pokes) typically already do low damage.

I’m just against buffing them on principle, especially in a way that makes them even more similar to standard reversals. There is no wrong or right way to handle the mechanic i suppose, but i honestly just hate how it works in SFV.

Blanka is good, just has some problem MUs.

739

I find Urien difficult as Birdie.

And Urien vs Blanka is one of Blankas worst MUs…

740

Aren’t Akuma meterless DPs also invincible while on V-trigger?

God forbid there’s still 3 characters not invalidated by Akuma, that’s gotta change.

741

The only weird spot to me in that tier list is Sakura, just seems strange to place her above G and Balrog

742

She’s not

743

But u did tho :thinking:

744

He got banned on steam forums. He was trolling the soul Calibur 6 section of steam if I remember correctly. He trolls the sfv section a lot too so Idk which he got banned for.
