The Power of Lame Compels You
So I realized it might be super possible that Birdie is just more of my play style.
I don't really see anything to complain about, he got slightly slower in his normals but he still overall has his pretty solid toolset and well, his damage is just, gross.
Welcome to my world.
Yeah except you've actually got hp and the best dash stopping light in the game lol. I just gotta work on that lk into tatsu buffer.
It's bad, not unwinnable, but pretty bad.
Like you have Akuma having bad fireballs, Akuma needing to get in close with Gief because of this (which is wear Gief wants you to be) and then finally Gief's V-Skill answers a lot of what makes Akuma really strong. It seems pretty bad yea.
That is the risk you take, deciding to use a character with small hp and a lot of tools. Just because you cant imagine something does not mean stuff happens.
Giefs v skill is a pretty big double edge sword in that matchup though. If he does it vs an akuma with trigger things get really scary really fast.
? I was just saying that gief doesn't really have anything he can tunnel vision on hard enough to get himself killed. He's a cool character but he's got 0 flash and outside of a non buffered standing 720 nothing super "cool" to go for.
when your specials are basically the best of both worlds between cammy and ryu then it seems reasonable that your stubby normals will end up being a problem vs some characters
His specials are not even close to as good as ryus,/cammys and they never have been. Only exception being demon flip is better than hooligan.
lots of good points -
it's frames are just worse tbh.
In 5 its not significantly worse in any other way than it's a worse bet for him since the risk is higher. Previous games though(4 especially) you couldn't really use it as a wakeup since it had a tendency to hit once and leave them grounded while you continued to go up and they could punish.
Your kid-on-Christmas-morning posts about everything you discover in this game are hilarious and dope. Great counterbalance to the usual complaining some of us whose names I won't mention but sort of rhyme with "piles o' shite" like to post ad infinitum.
Ahh boy reading your love fest for Birdie makes me feel warm inside.
You really going to sum the game up to dash up throw throw? That hurts.
You ever hit all the directions in your 360 just right?
Game is fucking great man, loving it all and this thread could use some happy
Man I teched your dash up throw and you literally dashed up and threw me after it. I sighed so hard my dog came jumped off my bed like some shit was going down.
