Overview Movelist Matchups Strategy Misc

Birdie is a non-playable character in the first Street Fighter game as one of the ten CPU fighters.

Birdie in Street Fighter 1 can best be described as a train, because once he gets going, he is almost impossible to stop. However he can also play a strong hit-and-run play style. He can pretty much do what ever he wants.

In SF++, Birdie is selected by holding at the title screen/"NEW CHALLENGER" screen and then releasing the button on the country select/"RYU vs. KEN" screens respectively.
