Weekly Screenshot: Gymnastic Revenger Crush

Birdie and Sagat are determined to win the Shadaloo Gymnastics Competition this year, because it’s time someone taught that smug bastard Vega a lesson. (Mostly about being nicer to Birdie and leaving people alone when they’re having a bad hair day. Not about gymnastics though. Vega’s really good at gymnastics.)

SFA Birdie whiffs vertical j.HK over Sagat’s wakeup animation, after knocking him down with meaty c.HK sweep. It would’ve been nice to get Birdie a little higher but that’s as high as he goes. Bet you weren’t expecting a storyline! (Or such a dumb title.)

    Actually that’s a recovery frame. Birdie’s j.HK looks kind of like a dropkick, so he has to do a little flip afterwards.

    The vertical and diagonal versions are the same move. He just jumps higher when goes straight up.

    Sir, how dare you impugn Birdie’s gracefulness? Why, he’s graceful as a moth!

    (Damn, now i need to take a picture of him landing safely/delicately between those cats. Haha this’ll take months.)
