Those moves have their place for sure. However, if you watch replays on CFN you'll see Rashid players sticking to those moves and unsafe moves. I think Aris is the best Rashid right now and he abuses standing jab and strong. cr. mp is his best anti air. I agree.
Dhalism has a 3 frame standing jab and Vega has a 3 frame st. lk.
fully charged fireball in v-trigger is unblockable
It's not throw invincible. Why does this man spend a meter to get thrown back into the corner
If one move beats it then dont do it if you think they will do that one move. If they do anything else you are out and playing your game again, sorry he cant get out for free if hes really strong everywhere but the corner. Birdie doesnt have reversals either. These characters are designed to struggle some when backed into the corner because its a struggle for your opponent to get them there in the first place. Welcome to non NRS fighting games lol
FANG's V-reversal is legit and his EX slide is pretty great at getting you away, only throws and command throws will beat it on wake up, but tbh the best thing to do is just block with most characters. Trying to get up like a maverick will get you killed so fast.
It's not theory fighting. The character has really good options in neutral. I've been playing a FANG regularly, so I'm seeing how the character is myself on the other side.

Egg-fucking-xactly.
I dont see where FANG is lacking in defence at all, if anything he takes less risks trying to get up with EX Slide and getting thrown out of it than say Ryu trying to get up with a DP and eating 400 damage CC on block. Ive read somewhere that V reversal can be option selected with throw tech, so FANG can be insanely hard to pin down seeing as his V reversal swaps sides. I can see where some people are struggling with the knockdown game in SFV as if you dont do anything to get up faster your opponent can walk up and you have to guess the throw, but with all the options you have to get up theres nothing resembling a vortex in SFV that I have seen.
Yeah after any V-trigger guard break you can get a combo if you're close enough. I was just telling the 2 different moves ryu has that does it.
Maybe because you got those scrubby V-trigger mixups???
I'm not patient enough. An airborne opponent in range triggers my DP reflex.
Good to know.
Not me. Cammy kicks ass.
Also, Karin's standing MP...
Lots of characters have this issue. In fact, the majority of characters do not have an invincible wakeup. The two characters I use most, (Nash and Laura) are probably worse off than F.A.N.G in the corner.
That noise when they slip is just too damn perfect. Birdies vskill meta game is going to be huge with him. Ive been starting out eating bananas and soda first so that people expect me to throw something down after I eat something because they usually try to jump in on me over the food during that time as Im throwing it down. Then if you eat a normal donut and recover quickly you can anti air them with cr.mp right away or you can hold down mp and mk while you eat the donut to charge the EX armored headbutt and anti air them with that. Then when they hesitate when you eat food expecting it to be a donut it opens up "safer" opportunities to put down bananas and cans again in the neutral. Also keep in mind that when you actuvate Vtrigger eating donuts will refill the Vtrigger bar so you can stay in it longer and non charge EX headbutts have armor on them. God damn Birdie is such a well designed character, so perfect for me, he may be fat but hes got conditioning
Do the donuts just build V trigger? Or do they recover health as well?
