BIO:

When Birdie was a pro wrestler, he occasionally teamed up with rival Titanic Tim (from Saturday Night Slam Masters) as the "500 Million Trillion Powers." He turned to a life of crime when his wrestling career ended, doing some street fighting on the side to add to his income, as well as nightclub bouncing. His notoriety got him invited to the first World Warrior tournament. He was suffering from a particularly nasty strain of flu, however, and lost his fight with Ryu.

Despite this setback, Birdie rose up the criminal ranks. In Street Fighter Alpha 2, he became aware of an organization called Shadaloo and, tracking down their leader, M. Bison, demonstrated his fighting skills to join them. However, Bison only wanted a test subject, and used Birdie to perform painful and demeaning experiments. Birdie resolved to get even.

In Street Fighter Alpha 3, Birdie sneaks into a Shadaloo data room and learns about the Psycho Drive machine, not aware that M. Bison is watching him. Thinking he can use it to overthrow Bison and become lord of Shadaloo himself, he set out to find it. Bison sends Balrog to kill Birdie, but instead, Birdie convinces Balrog to help him by telling him how the Psycho Drive could make them powerful. Hindered by Balrog's incompetence, however, Birdie couldn't find the Drive before it exploded.

Having a name like Birdie makes you a badass by default... lol. Birdie's original Street Fighter appearance wasn't anything special, but when Capcom re-invented him in the Street Fighter Alpha series, they made him a lot bigger, cooler, and into a very original fighting game character. Not every character in a fighting game should be a martial arts expect, and as a huge street thug, Birdie managed to stand out among others in the Street Fighter series. He was also the first fighting game character to use the "jump into throw" technique... such a good move! :D

Birdie's obviously not a "popular" Street Fighter character, but I actually like him a lot. He's a very underrated character in you ask me. He's defined by his gritty, rugged appearance, crazy hairstyle, and unrealistic proportions. I hope we see him return some day in the future... it's been a long time coming!
