Story Edit

Growing up on the streets, Birdie was a pro-wrestler thrown out of the league for his violent temper and rule-breaking ways. After drifting around as a bouncer for several years, he was offered a position as a member of a ruthless drug ring called Shadaloo. Seeing opportunity in this, he accepted and immediately started planning to overthrow whoever he found leading the organization.

A true fighter of the streets, Birdie's fighting style is an unrefined, sloppy combination of barroom brawling and crushing wrestling maneuvers. He relies on hitting his opponent hard and fast before they have a chance to evaluate the weaknesses in his technique. With more strength than most of the fighters he faces, his overpowering fists and rock solid head butts are usually enough to ensure his victory.

Appearance Edit

Birdie is a hulking figure with dyed blonde hair, a leather jacket, several rings, and oddly pointed shoes. His unusual looking shoes are more common to punks in Japan, rather than the combat boots worn by punks in Birdie's native England. He sometimes uses the chains wrapped around his forearms as weapons, and has a tattoo of a red heart on the side of his head. He also sports a patently impossible hole in the center of his mohawk, giving his unique hairstyle the appearance of a bird's beak. Birdie's appearance in the Alpha series is noticeably changed from his appearance in the original Street Fighter. In the original game, Birdie was a tall - though not particularly heavyset - Caucasian. In the Alpha series, Birdie became not only much more muscled and heavy, but even appears to be black. One of his Alpha win quotes explains that this was because he was sick during the first World Warrior tournament, and therefore, pale.
