SFV Cammy and Birdie Revealed
- Thread starter Caj814
- Start date
So a few things
1- How does this remotely look like SF4?
2- Come on kids, did you never own a Dreamcast?
They made Cammy resemble her gun Spike/Cannon Spike design
Well I know what I'm getting end of this month.
INJECT DAT BETA INTO MY VEINS!
Who did the art for cannon spike? Ikeno?

Birdie looks ok, he wouldn't have been anywhere near my first choice for a returning character - I'm hoping this is the most underwhelming of characters so they announced him early.
That King's Cross Station background is kind of boring to me. I mean it just looks like King's Cross on a really boring sunny morning with hardly anyone around. Doesn't exactly get the blood pumping - an outside scene in London could've been much better and jam-packed with landmarks or British stereotypes in a thick pea-souper on London Bridge or something.

Birdies animations are amazing.
In-fact this is the best Capcom animated fighter since SF3 and it even 1up's it in a lot of areas too.
Simply amazing attention to detail.
SFV, SF3, and Mark of the Wolves are the 3 gods of FG animation.
It makes Tekken, MK, Xrd, USF4, animations look like a fucking joke.
THANK YOU SONY & CAPCOM I CRY TEARS OF JOY.

No, not really. You can still see all the green when she does her trademark pose.
You trippin
Thank you.
No I'm really not. I've worked with animation so I kind of lose my shit over good animation. The attention to detail in SFV is crazy good. And, the way they properly animate hit and block interaction is jaw dropping.
I personally think this is the best animated 3D (as in uses 3D models on a 2D plane) fighting game I've ever seen.
Also, I forgot about KOF13 in my previous post that is animated stunningly too.
But, I'd love to hear why you don't rate the animations.

Wellp, it was real.
Moving on. Hope the rest of the cast is interesting (lets just get Gief and Blanka out of way as fast as possible please.)

For real seeing things like buttons having a different animation on block or hit is amazing.
Kind of sad to see people hating on Birdie. 
Oh well no worries people gonna lose their shit when they see Birdie reck fools in tournament. I can already tell he is gonna be a hype ass fucking character.
Ah my bad yes forgot about Skullgirls. That has stunning animation too.

<3I've got a feeling Capcom has done away with 360s for good.
Nah they are abandoning the 360 motion which worries me quite a bit... The motion is inconvenient for a reason imo but who knows it works fine for like potemkin.
Cloth and dangly parts looks really good, but hit/block doesn't blow me away. Probably because the hitstop is out of control. 3D I can agree with, though there aren't any fighters this gen with these production values, save for Tekken I guess.No I'm really not.

I saw it mentioned somewhere that 360s are out.
All I've seen is that so far there aren't 360 moves, but that was when only the four first guys were around.

Cammy hype! I really dig her face, they're going all out with the art direction and models, which makes me so happy after how horrible SF4 was in that regard. And yeah, the animation is just beautiful.
Looking forward to the music, hoping there's a nice remix of her theme.

Actually he still has command throws, they're just 180 degree motions now, not 360. According to the SRK news post, no 360 motions will be in the game.
Interestingly enough, his headbutt isn't a charge move either. Looks like they're trying to expand with the easier special move commands.
EDIT: Beaten
I find it way more convenient than a double fireball actually.
Slow down and watch the animations of the normals and characters reaction to getting hit or blocking (I love playing 1080p@60 videos of SFV in slow mo to admire the animation work) that stuff truly is next gen and it is pretty insane.
The one part which looks really off to me is Ryu's headband flying around in the wind it looks poorly done. I'm guessing the cloth physics are off.

Taking out 360's seems like a huge mistake to me. It will make landing those throws that much less satisfying, now that the technical skill required to initiate them has been lessened.
I think that's his point. 180 command grabs are different and often weaker from 360 ones due to being easier to pull off. Forgoing them entirely means that command grabs as a whole will change now.

In SFV, every throw is Ochio Throw now, lol.
Yeah, I understand the risk/reward for the 360 grabs. I'm sure they understand that too, so hopefully they find a nice balance for the startup frames, or find some other way to compensate for the easier input.

Birdie
Cammy
Our agile Delta Red agent returns, looking as sharp as ever. Capcom reps told me shes one of the most requested characters, so if you were among the crowd clamoring for Cammy, congrats, the developers have heard your cries! Perhaps the most noticeable change to her arsenal is that a key input has been simplified, which well get to shortly.
Current Movelist
V-Skill: Axel Spin Knuckle (MP + MK)
Similar in style to Zangiefs Banishing Flat, this allows Cammy to dodge through a projectile with an attack that resembles Guiles Spin Back Knuckle. While it doesnt neutralize the projectile like the good ol green hand does, its a very nice addition to her repertoire.
V-Trigger: Delta Drive (HP + HK)
Cammys V-Trigger benefits arent as immediately visible as other characters: you might just think her speed increases. But many of her moves gain more subtle advantages during the time the gauge is ticking down, including increased recovery speed and being able to pass through the opponent.
V-Reversal: Strike Back (towards+KKK)
Special Moves
Spiral Arrow (QCF+K)
Cannon Spike (DP+K)
Cannon Strike (during forward jump, QCB+K)
Not much new to report here. However
Hooligan Combination (HCF+P)
Yeah, remember how this started and ended at a weird diagonal in previous games? No moreits the half-circle motion we all know and love. As for the inputs afterwards
Razor Edge Slicer (No input)
Fatal Leg Twister (close to ground, LP+LK)
Cross Scissors Pressure (close, in air LP+LK)
Cannon Strike (K)
even better, youve still got all the follow-ups!
Critical Arts
Cross Stinger Assault (2xQCB+K)
Birdie
Birdies had an interesting series of transformations over the history of the Street Fighter franchise, going from a white, generic British punk-thug in the first game to a hulking black bouncer with a bizarre do in the Alpha series, and now to a chubby, food-scarfing, tattooed bruiser in Street Fighter V.
Im not sure if Birdie was particularly high on many folks returning-character wishlists, but now that hes actually in the game, Im really glad hes there. Birdie serves a very interesting niche thats different from his role in the Street Fighter Alpha series: a slow, power-heavy character that hits hard and comes equipped with long-range grabs using his chains. I didnt think hed be a character Id enjoy playingI gravitate towards glass cannon types, personallybut out of everyone in Street Fighter V so far, Birdie was far and away the most fun to play with.
Current Movelist
V-Skill: Break Time (MP+MK, variants with stick motions)
Remember Onos banana picture? Yep, thats actually one of Birdies V-Skills. Birdie stops to scarf a snack, but this is no mere taunt: the residue he throws can affect opponents. Neutral MP+MK produces a delicious donut that fills V-meter, while using back MP+MK has Birdie chomp down on a banana. The banana peel remains on the ground and can be slipped on by the opponent, causing knockdown (theres a Diddy Kong joke to be had here, Im sure). And finally, pressing down with MP+MK lets Birdie slam a Dew*, and his hastily discarded soda can rolls across the floor and hits low.
*No, its not actually Mountain Dew, but we cant totally rule out future eSports sponsorships.
V-Trigger: Enjoy Time (HP+HK)
Now this is Hot Pepper Gaming! Activating Birdies V-Trigger sees the brute eat a pepper, providing him with a gauge that makes his skills super spicy. Were talking extra damage and guard breaks on specials.
V-Reversal: Pepper Pot (During guard, towards+PPP)
Special Moves
Bull Head (HCF+P)
A signature Birdie skill returns from the Alpha series, only now its a half-circle rather than a charge. Birdie rushes a length of the stage with a devastating headbutt.
Bull Horn (Hold any P and release)
A slightly less involved input from the original Bull Horn, this can also can be held for a surprisingly long timeeven taking a few hits couldnt stop the charge, from what I recall. Sadly, I didnt get the opportunity to test and see if it has the same chain abilities.
Hanging Chain (QCF+K)
Birdie launches a chain forward to grab his opponent and smash them around in a nasty, long-distance catch move. The strength of the kick pressed determines the launch angle.
Killing Head (HCB+P)
Whats this? A painful close-range throw thats not a 360? Yep, I already mentioned before how 360s arent in the game, and heres a prime example. Its a bit surprising, given that Birdie existed in the original Alpha as the token 360 throw character (until they introduced the token 360 throw character in Alpha 2). Between this and Cammys Hooligan Combination, you can see how Capcoms adjusting the controls for accessibility.
Bull Revenger (HCB+K)
Whats scarier than Birdie lunging at you? A leaping Birdie lunge where he can catch you and inflict a world of hurt, thats what. It might not be a Super any more, but that doesnt mean this ground-slamming special is any less painful.
Critical Art
Skip to My Chain (2xQCF+P)
One of the most entertainingand devastatingCritical Arts shown so far, this attack has Birdie rolling his foe up in his chains and engaging in an impromptu jump-rope session, with his bound-up opponent suffering some seriously damaging skid burns as a result.
And the very best thing of all, theres no counter on this ball! Okay, Ill stop now.

I'm guessing that Cammy is going to be top-tier again. At the very least, that side-changing game is going to be hard to react to for me at least.
So a few things
1- How does this remotely look like SF4?
Oh shit, she's pouting her lips like Alita/Gally.
They made Cammy resemble her gun Spike/Cannon Spike design
Fingers crossed for Simone.
It's called duck face.

Birdie has a really, really long tongue.
