Mena has beaten punk before. Cant remember the tourney but i remember there was a small stream after where top players were playing sets. Mena was winning pretty convincingly then and that was when punk was winning most tournaments.

Plus i think Birdie is supposed to be a bad match for Karin but idk.

Think every Karin player isn’t a fan of the Birdie MU. He outbuttons her in the spaces that Karin likes to press buttons, and can start doing Birdie things once he has Karin too focused on trying to counter Birdie’s buttons. Throw in high damage/momentum swing once VT is in play, the life difference between Karin and Birdie, and I think Birdie has the advantage of averaging out the more mistakes he can make.

Granted Karin can just run him down with her usual oki game, though Birdie does have options to counter every one of Karin’s, he’s got the most legit wakeup game for someone who doesn’t have a real reversal. I’ve had plenty of fights where the Birdie player guessed right on wakeup into VT cancel, and then it’s all over for Karin.

I don’t think the MU is hugely in favour of one or the other mind, and I believe @itzpookiie as a Birdie player thinks the MU favours Karin.

I think the matchup is 5.5/4.5 in karins favor
5/5 normally
Birdie can only play neutral for so long until Karin gets in
Once she’s in and once he’s in the corner it’s really fucking hard for him to win if he Karin isn’t auto piloting

And don’t think she can’t get in
She’s getting in one way or another and putting him in that corner
It’s sfv

At best it’s 5/5 at worst it’s 5.5/4.5

I don’t rememver but I think people forget that ex bullhead >VTC is - or punishable

The thing is Birdie is not that free in the corner unless he has no meter. There are some characters that have it way worse. S2 his wakeup is not bad, it’s like Makoto in IV where he has a bunch of different options and if he guesses right he gets rewarded big time. Karin can put Birdie in the corner with a huge lifelead, only to guess wrong once on his wakeup, eat EX move into v-trigger, into death. I’ve seen it happen to Mago so many times which is why he doesn’t even bother with Karin and just picks Rashid who has more health and has a much easier time bypassing neutral and rushing him down.

Granted this might change in S3 where throw becomes suddenly a great option to beat both EX bullhorn and EX killing head but right now I don’t see how Karin has an advantage.

The all navy blue Vega one is good.
Too bad you don’t play him anymore!!!

Evil_Canadian · January 8, 2018, 2:53am

I chose chun and guile.

Vega is dead to me I won’t let him hurt me anymore!!!

Akhos · January 8, 2018, 2:53am

Saw it randomly on twitter and just had to use it

There’s another variation by this artist

https://twitter.com/alolamelle/status/943091693942988806

But I like Nia more

You should use that one so we can be twins

iAntique can supply the necessary tears so it’s more fitting

Genistar · January 8, 2018, 2:56am

I’m ma be mythra

Frost · January 8, 2018, 2:58am

Akhos · January 8, 2018, 2:59am

Artist has one for that too but I don’t get the joke done here

Real talk: When can we expect reviews for AE? Will Capcom get another shot at the proverbial metacritic score?

Deadpool_Merc · January 8, 2018, 3:03am

was about to use one of these, but you have to register or log in to redbull to do that and… fuck that shit

No worse than some of the things you guys say about me

Frost · January 8, 2018, 3:05am

Excuse you I’m not mean to you

Ocean and Antique are the only scumbags I will abuse, actually also PVL he’s a scumlord too.

Intuitive2011 · January 8, 2018, 3:06am

The key thing is to not look at “him” in his eyes. That’s how he gains power.

Akhos · January 8, 2018, 3:07am

I meant the thread as a whole doe

Or have you forgotten all the past brony jokes people made

Daemos · January 8, 2018, 3:09am

***It was self defense!!! ***

But one wrong wake up option and Karin seals the deal as well
Not to mention throw loops which his only real answer is ex cmd grab

I mean you said it
Birdie still has to guess with the correct wake up option that costs meter and each option is a full max punish if wrong
He doesn’t have an all in one dp

5.5/4.5 at worst
5/5 normally

And like you said if he has no meter then he’s fucked

Karin in the corner against birdie doesn’t have to worry about throw loops and she has a 2 bar vtrigger that can get her out of the corner on block compared to his 3bar which he will probably be near death or stun by the time he gets it in the corner

Frost · January 8, 2018, 3:09am

Fair

Very fair
