GamesBeat: Ono … why did you make Birdie fat?

[Ono laughs]

Ono: If you actually end up playing the prologue, you’ll see why Birdie is so freakin’ fat now! You’ll see the house he’s staying at, where he’s living.

I’ll go ahead and spill the beans on this: He’s a freeloader over at Karin Kanzuki’s house.

I entered the company about 24 years ago and put on about 30 kilos of weight since that time. If you think about Birdie, he started out in Street Fighter one, and that’s been almost 30 years now. In that amount of time gone by, you’re probably going to put on a few pounds.

I wish he wasn't fat as he's doing waay too much damage lol. Just tone down a bit for God's sake. Even his normal grab takes off a chunk

Do you think Birdie is supposed to be a visual representation of Karin's fanbase

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

No.

Yes!

Do you think Birdie is supposed to be a visual representation of Karin's fanbase

Like in a negative connotation? Cause that would be weird.

 

[Camjo-Z]

He can't afford to eat out, so he has to eat out.

Biker dudes with huge Mohawks? Totally

Fat people are pretty strong

Why didn't Ryu get fat too? He's probably a freeloader at Ken's house.

He still needs to find the meaning of battle.

Can't get chubby when all you do is punch waterfalls

So if Karin's husbando is Birdie then does that mean Sakura's husbando is Dan?

Spoiler

 

[CrispyBoar]

Why didn't Ryu get fat too? He's probably a freeloader at Ken's house.

Most likely because he always trains himself.

 

[Neoxon]

Doesn't his recent bio say "Kanzuki Estate Freeloader"?

Now I know how Otaku feel when someone insults their waifu.

Take it back!

 

[RootCause]

What a lovely couple.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Yeah, and going by the win quotes, Karin probably lets him live off of her if she agrees to be his sparring partner or something.

 

[L Thammy]

So if Karin's husbando is Birdie then does that mean Sakura's husbando is Dan?

Spoiler

There's evidence to that effect, actually.
Hentai is canon, right?

 

[Neoxon]

Sounds like a win-win situation. If I recall, didn't Birdie lose most of his strength in one of the Alpha endings?

Its not like she even likes him, that idiot!

There's tons of hentai doujins on that...

 

[BasilZero]

That is quite a reason XD.

 

[udivision]

this is the worst Disney Channel sitcom

Explain Ryu and Ken

Ryu's lifestyle is literally "walk around the world, train to punch people in face, punch people in face". Dude could consume 4000 calories a day and still probably only get more buff.

Ken, though....that one you got me, lol.

Only if we get M.Bison x Dudley first.

NO ONE BETTER JUDGE ME FOR THIS PAIRING GOD DAMN IT!!!

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Fat Birdie best Birdie.

So true.

If we're going with doujins then she's also married to blanka

He has a wife.

He can't afford to eat out, so he has to eat out.

Criminally overlooked.
