Introduction
Obviously of the British upper class, Eagle challenges his opponents with a baton in each hand. The later British boxer Dudley resembles Eagle in style. Eagle was one of the tougher opponents Ryu faced in the original Street Fighter.

Super Moves

QCFx2 + P | |
Spinny Super | (Manchester Gold) |
QCBx2 + P |
» Union Jack Platinum: Easy to combo with good damage. This is not safe on block at any level and has atrocious recovery if whiffed. Level 1 has unusually high invincibility and will trade with meaty normals. Level 2 is one of the harder hitting level 2s and will fully connect at any distance. Level 3 can be used in combos, but landing this super at max range will cause the last hit to whiff.
» Manchester Gold: Not very practical outside of K-Groove. For the most part, the Union Jack Platinum makes this super useless in combos as it does less/inconsistent damage. As an AA it will only juggle a few times for pitiful damage, even at level 3. This super is best used for finishing an opponent in the air or as chip. Only the level 3 version is safe, leaving Eagle at +1.
The Basics
Bread and Butter Combos
c.lk, c.lp, s.mk xx hcf+mk
This is Eagle's main B&B, good damage, but if you mess up you'll be punished.
c.mk, c.lp, c.mp (1 hit) xx mk rush
I usually do this if I see my meaty d.mk hit, but works meaty or not.
c.lk, c.lp x2, c.mp (1 hit) xx rush
Just a different version of the first combo. Doesn't do as much damage or stun, but I seen some people do it.
counter hit c.mk, s.fp
If you see a counter hit c.mk, go for the s.fp, does a good chunk of damage.
Openings
Eagle has a really good set of normals, most of them safe outside a few. His special moves are all pretty much punishable on block.
S.fp
One of the best whiff punishers, and should mainly be used as such. When done too close Eagle can be punished pretty bad, as the recovery is nasty. This move is also terrible if rolled through, you pretty much give your opponent all the time in the world to think of what big combo to do. Safe at max distance, excepy to fast lvl 3's (balrog, bison, etc.).
C.rh
Pretty much the same as s.fp, except it has more range, a bit less recovery, and slower start up.
Hcf+mk rush (blocked)
This move has a gap after the first blocked hit in which someone can roll/dp/super or whatever they want to do. The end recovery is terrible also, anyone can walk up and hit him. I never see anyone do this randomly, but I have seen it blocked after someone messed up a combo.
Qcf+mp, qcf+hp counters
These are his counters, the only downfall of these are if done to close anyone can do a quick normal into super, or if further, do a fast lvl 3.
qcb+k overhead
Just don't do it. It's slow and very punishable on block.
Jump attacks
I love doing j.mk/j.rh early. J.rh seems safe, but j.mk too early pretty much leaves you open, unless doing his insant overhead backwards.
Rolling
I gotta get his frame data, it doesn't seem great though, I never roll with him anyway.
JD
If either s.fp or c.rh get JD'd, it's a free hit/combo. C.fp anti air can be hit depending on how deep the JD was.
Super Combos
C-groove
c.fp xx qcfx2 +mp, xx qcfx2 +p Damage:---
P/S/N/K
c.fp xx qcfx2 +hp (lvl 3/max) Damage: between --- and ---
Punisher combo of choice, does extremely good damage.
c.fp xx qcfx2 +p (lvl 1) Damage:---
Good damage off a lvl 1.
Customs Combos
1. Anti-Air- qcb+fp (1 hit) xx c.fp x2 xx roll, [c.fp x3]xN, juggle with either super. When you get to the corner you can [j.mk x3, j.mp]xN the super.
- I never see anyone do this, I guess cause everyone goes for the tripguard CC. This CC does decent damage, I think at least 6000. I'll put up damage later for both CC's.
2. Ground- s.rh x3 xx hcf+mk (1 hit) xx s.rh x3, hcf+mk x3 xx qcfx2+p Replace the first s.rh with a c.mk to do his tripguard CC.

Random Tricks/Notes
Instant overhead - j.mk
This comes in handy alot. Just jump back and hit mk as soon as you jump back from near point blank range. You can even do a c.lp point blank and then overhead. Another way is to jump in lk/mk then jump back instant mk.
