That's how I feel against Necali as Birdie. What the fuck can I do against his fucking jabs and frame traps? I tried EVERY BUTTON and strategy, nothing - NOTHING helps apart from sneezing, and even that can be blocked and punished. Holy fuck did capcom think?
Even if I'm back at neutral game, he can punish EVERYTHING with his frigging c.LP xx wolverine. f.HP? Punished. HP Headbutt? Punished. df.HP slide? Punished. s.HP get's punished if in range, otherwise it's like a Hadoken and so slow, you can jab
THEN jump and still punish it with a full combo. Jump in on him? HAHAHA between c.HP, jab and his srk good luck trying that.
Trying to interrupt his assault is rarely possible. Between his stomp - that's it. Everything else get's CH. Add in throws and his command grab and you are a sitting duck.
Not helping that his jab basically shuts down everything Birdie can even try when trying to apply pressure. It's not like you are in advantage after ANY of his knock downs, since you have to dash in first, at which point you eat a jab.
What the fuck am I supposed to do? How can I ever get dmg in? This feels like an 8-2 match up.
Also it's nigh impossible to release Birdies "reversal" (hahahah I called it reversal) on wake up without a meaty blocking your input. You better time that shit frame perfect. At one point he even interrupted it by activating his V-Trigger on my wakeup. Ingenious idea Capcom. Can we please remove that beyond useless chain and put his head-srk on that motion?
