    Birdie is a more niche choice than about 15 other niche choices would have been.

    Cammy isn't surprising or exciting.



    If they didn't think Cammy was going to be in regardless they are crazy people.

    This is unnecessary

    And I am excited for Birdie, I think he's great, but what an oddball choice for a new grappler when Alex and Haggar are right there.

    I'm not disagreeing with you radius

    the juxtaposition of your post and my twitter feed was just funny to me

    V-Skill: Break Time (MP+MK, variants with stick motions)
    Remember Ono’s banana picture? Yep, that’s actually one of Birdie’s V-Skills. Birdie stops to scarf a snack, but this is no mere taunt: the residue he throws can affect opponents. Neutral MP+MK produces a delicious donut that fills V-meter, while using back MP+MK has Birdie chomp down on a banana. The banana peel remains on the ground and can be slipped on by the opponent, causing knockdown (there’s a Diddy Kong joke to be had here, I’m sure). And finally, pressing down with MP+MK lets Birdie slam a Dew*, and his hastily discarded soda can rolls across the floor and hits low.

    V-Trigger: Enjoy Time (HP+HK)
    Now this is Hot Pepper Gaming! Activating Birdie’s V-Trigger sees the brute eat a pepper, providing him with a gauge that makes his skills super spicy. We’re talking extra damage and guard breaks on specials.

    Hahaha they put a mini-Faust in here

    This is gonna be funny as hell

    I also hope they do some more work on that London stage, because I find it to be really bland color-wise. It just looks like something vomited sepia everywhere.

  • KilroyKilroy timaeusTestified Registered User regular
    well cammy's costume is still terrible but they did a decent job of making her look older

    also her ultra or whatever they're calling it looks rad

    I have no connection to birdie so I have nothing to say about him

  • Dex DynamoDex Dynamo Registered User regular
    I'm a big fan of Birdie, I think he's got a neat moveset and a fun backstory (for instance, did you know he used to wrestle? makes me wish we'd get Titanic Tim from Slam Masters, his former tag partner, in SF5, even though we obvs won't)

    If they're not gonna reveal Dan (which, why wouldn't you reveal Dan), Birdie is a good pick

    So, it looks like London then?

    there's a hole in the world like a great black pit and the vermin of the world inhabit it and its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit and it goes by the name of london

    speaking of cody, my true pie-in-the-sky wishlist character for SF5 is haggar

    I want the whole Metro City gang to finally appear in Street Fighter

    thats just less french rolento

  • KilroyKilroy timaeusTestified Registered User regular
    rolento isn't french

    and eagle doesn't play anything like rolento at all

  • KnobKnob TURN THE BEAT BACK InternetModerator mod

    What is this weird thing Japanese fighting games have for making fighters get fat? Like, not just a fat character, but someone that has the backstory of not being fat and then getting fat. Rufus, Bob, Mega Man, now Birdie.

    some notable things from that footage:

    no chip KO from special moves. Supers will still chip out
    characters will start round 2/3 on whichever side of the screen they ended the previous round on instead of resetting to P1/P2 sides
    cammy's v move is her spinning back fist

    also there is some birdie footage

  • DragkoniasDragkonias That Guy Who Does Stuff You Know, There. Registered User regular
    Looking at Cammy it looks like her Hooligan and Back fist are actually useful and not just moves everyone forgets she has.

    Birdie more like Lardie

    And forget SFV we've got RYU in Smash who knows what kinda advanced tactics smash players are gonna bring to the table

    The best thing about Birdie, to me, is saying his name like Betty from Kung Pow.

    I may or may not have just spent ten minutes doing that.

    I started to link like 15 ultradavid tweets about SFV but here is my halfassed summary

    Literally everything is more dangerous

    All overheads are 1 hit, do not link

    Throws have a smaller window, do more damage + 25% stun

    2 full(????) combos from all characters is p much guaranteed stun

    Links have wider buffer windows, don't expect any true 1flinks

    footsies are back, old style

    vgauge is A Big Deal

    walkspeed doesn't seem drastically different, but Bison is slower than in 4 without his VTrigger and Birdie is also slow

    So Ultradavid has a google docs up for his notes here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lO2n8cGufRTvQGYcFEAVCUhKJximN0x0wdLCdb4ksuo/preview?pli=1&sle=true

    One of the more interesting things he said is about how drastic the differences in Ryu's DPs are.

    He said the light version recovers fastest but has no invincibility. And the heavy one is the only 3f one but has the worst recovery. I'm guessing the medium one is in the middle.

    So riddle me this, batman

    All the guys who say they they'd be fighting game gods if not for the artificial execution barrier locking them out because they don't want to learn complex motions and one frame links



    What are they gonna do when this comes out and they still lose to the same people

  • WimbleWimble Registered User regular
    well throws will still be a bullshit thing that only cheap players use

    and there will be scrubs like Daigo who only spam fireballs

    Option select: This game is trash.

  • KnobKnob TURN THE BEAT BACK InternetModerator mod
    Has anyone commented on the wake up system yet? 25% stun on a throw into a hard knockdown seems like a good place to start if we want to play AE for another couple years
