Lets Talk about the Birdie and the Bees!

Since I've reached my 3rd Strike, I think it's time to express my feeling towards one of Gouki Jones' favorite Street Fighters.... Birdie (What a joke).

I love Street Fighter with its great cast of wacky characters, special moves, and one on one fighting. There have been some characters that have left quite a mark on the memories of gamers around the world. That is what you expect from a game with Fighters from around the world.

There is one character in particular that I want to talk about. That character would be Birdie. Why would anyone want to talk about this trash heap of a character? Well I've noticed that Gouki Jones here on Gouki.com has been constantly waiting for his return (why anyone would want him back is beyond me)

Lets start by taking a look at Birdie Himself

Do you see a problem here? What the heck happened to his Skin tone from Street Fighter to Alpha?

 

Here is a little back story for Birdie

Prior to his criminal career, Birdie was a professional wrestler, teaming with occasional rival Titanic Tim (from the Saturday Night Slam Masters series) as the "500 Million Trillion Powers." He turned to a life of crime when his wrestling career ended, doing some street fighting on the side to add to his income.

His notoriety got him invited to the first World Warrior tournament. He was suffering from a particularly nasty strain of flu, however, and lost his fight with Ryu.

Despite this setback, Birdie rose up the criminal ranks. He eventually became aware of an organization called Shadaloo and managed to use his criminal reputation to join them.

Sneaking into a Shadaloo data room, he learned about the Psycho Drive machine, not aware that M. Bison was watching him. Thinking he could use it to overthrow Bison and become lord of Shadoloo himself, he set out to find it. Bison sent Balrog to kill Birdie, but Birdie convinced Balrog to help him instead by telling him how the Psycho Drive could make them powerful. Hindered by Balrog's incompetence, however, Birdie couldn't find the Drive before it exploded.

It is likely that Birdie remained with Shadaloo until it finally collapsed, and is back on the streets.

 

Birdie's Win quote from Street Fighter Alpha 3

"Oh, what!? ... Before? I looked pale because I was sick!!"

 

 

I just wanted to briefly talk about Birdie and how I think he is trash and I'm glad he got his ass whooped by Abel in the new Street Fighter 4 comic series. The guy is a joke and is too stupid to realize that Dan is better than he is.

 

Don't be a Jimmy like Birdie!

Take a shot of Haterade brotha. You're just jealous of a black man with blonde hair WITH A HOLE IN IT! Now that's gangsta!

Seriously though, I want another decent 360 character in SSF4. I don't like Zangief at all in SSF4 and used to be one of my favorite guys. I don't know what the Oil Slick Jimmy is supposed to be. Abel is not a 360 character, I think you would agree. Birdie and always will be one of my favorite characters to USE. Birdie > R. Mika

Alex would make a solid 360 character. I don't like grab characters to be honest. I like the weak characters more. Work harder to win, but it's much more rewarding when you do. Like Sakura, or Guy, or Rose.

Alex and Elena would make good additions to the SSF4 cast. They just need to have solid combos to stay competitive against everybody else since there is no parrying.
