why don't you love birdie
For real though, I just don't like how every move feels like a do or die situation.
You either use a armored reversal, or you use a throw invincible reversal.
If you manage to land the normal into special, great. If it's blocked, you're guaranteed to be punished.
His normals are certainly far reaching but very very slow. His best light for cancelling into stuff is st.lp but it's 5 frames. St.lk also works but it has shit range.
He's a zoner but he can easily also get out-zoned himself. All that moves that he has to go through fireballs can be punished if they whiff (except df.hp in most situations).
EDIT: Arguably the thing I hate the most is that his meaty pressure is practically nonexistent.
He's definitely a fun character, but his overall style just isn't gelling with me no matter how hard I try.
And I'm still gonna pick him against every Bison I meet. Feels so good to cr.mp the stomp, EX bullhorn after his st.hk, etc.
