Rating
He can also combo into Vtrigger from All Jabs, All shorts, All strongs, sHK and cMK,
but sadly you can't finish it with a super, ex chain, bullhead or anything else.
Post-Stun combos
Jumping over your opponents first makes it easier to position banana peel.
If you've stunned your opponent and damage scaling isn't too high, you can do the following:
- j.HK, cHP xx Bullhorn - 253
- j.HK, cHP xx HK Chain - 274
- j.HK, sHK, sLP xx EX Bullhead - 294
- j.HK, cMP xx Bullhorn xx CA - 447
- banana peel, f+HK, cMP xx Bullhorn_Bullhead - 243
- banana peel, f+HK, cMP xx EX Bullhead - 261
- banana peel, nj.HP, walk forward, sHK, cMP xx Bullhorn_Bullhead -- 275
- VT, j.HK, cMP xx Bull Horn - 249
- VT, j.HK, cHP xx Bull Horn - 266
- VT, j.HK, sHK, sLP xx MP Bullhead - 287

Birdie is weird, but in my opinion, the best kind of weird. he's really powerful, has a button-charged anti-air, he's gross, he's over-the-top, he's got a 2-hit command overhead roundhouse, a command fierce shoulder with hyper armor, I mean, come on! His standing medium is special cancellable, reaches far and hits hard. Oh yeah, and his CHAINS! What an untapped resource! Situational chain-whip throws, a jump command throw, a command grab headbutt, and his headbutt dash! And last, but most certainly not least, his crouching fierce 2-press target combo is JACK-6's double hammer fist! I'm sold on Birdie. He's my kind of fighter.
P.S. his Diddy peel and Rolling can distractions are perfect V-Skills for him.
P.P.S. V-Trigger cancelling the first hit of his JACK hammer is money(or should I say 'fire'?).
cr.MP can hit meaty after Hanging Chain(LK)
example: cr.MP, st.LK, st.LP, Bull Head(LP) 213dmg (423 with CA)
Birdie is one of if not the strongest character in the game right now. His grapple moves allows him to be the best zoner in the game right in front of FANG. Birdie is not combo heavy like Zangief but you still need a few to help get enemies off you so you can hold that neutral zone. I would recommend watching this video to help with combos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbirH.... This is not my gameplay but someone i found online who had some pretty sick combos and I would also like to thank him in this video for helping me to get better also with birdie.
Be sure to click "view all moves" for some of these guys like Birdie, or you won't see some things.
