why not
Original just looks like a sad Black. Gotta spice it up.
I mean the sprite, not the portrait. SFA1 Birdie looks more confident.
Yeah, and that's maybe not what they were going for. Bottom he looks a little stoned. More punkish.
2 sprite looks better. Make it clear what you are talking about because 2 portrait is better as well.
Not that anyone could tell with the awful scanline filter you’ve applied you dumb homosexual.
I actually really can't tell the difference. I do prefer the top portrait though
Bottom makes him seem a little bit wilder.
Top does communicate his Britishness better.
You should probably dig up some interviews or hit the devs up on social media, because you're only gonna get guesses and opinions here.
Better question: why did they redraw Round x and Fight graphics for the Saturn port?
CP Sytem II has the resolution of 384×224. Sega Saturn supports only one low resolution (unlike PlayStation) and it is 320x224. Without redrawing text would look noticeably wider due to difference in pixel proportions.
Wrong. 1) Saturn port runs at 352x224. 2) the characters aren't rescaled so it's obvious that Capcom didn't care if the graphics appear wider on Saturn. 3) the redrawn graphics are not made more narrow. They're fairly of the same width and appear wider at Saturn resolution just like everything else.
Huh, I didn't know about the 352x224 resolution. I admit my mistake.
speaking off, if PS1 could handle 384x224 (240p actually) and even wider, why the late capcom ports like Jojo and Alpha3 have the weird ''smart cropping'' where the image is slightly cropped from the right corner of the screen instead of using the full CPS2/3 frame at 4:3?
Arcade version text looks nicer and more refined. My theory is that they started initial work on the port slightly before the arcade release and used prototype graphics by accident.
According to Okamoto the home port teams did not cross over much with the arcade teams, so that is quite possible.
If you look closely at the saturn screenshots you can see the super meters are closer together to make up for the slightly cropped screen size.
Yeah they probably got passed some old graphics by mistake but nobody noticed.
Seems to just be a thing they did for him across the series, several sprites of his were edited or redrawn for A3 too.
Birdie is such a dogshit character design. An attempt to pull off SNK stylishness, however they couldn't resist making an ugly eyesore to look at instead of an attractive person, but that's Capcom's trademark.
>An attempt to pull off SNK stylishness
That was Dan though
Remy
I always saw his mohawk as a slice of cheese
Geo portrait from MM: SF1
Sf1 birdie was white
What are you talking about anon, clearly this is a black man who is a little under the weather and is looking a little pale today.
Yeah, WTF. How insensitive. Hes clearly got vitiligo.
Trans racial.
He has a cold, no bully
>Blockheads pub
Is that a reference to the British band ian Dury and the blockheads
Correct. Capcom have this weird revision going on.
They should keep changing Birdie's race. Make this his gimmick.
He should have been asian in SFV and a redhead israelite in his next game.
Birdie and T.Hawk are the same person
Birdie and Dudley sure are.
White or Black Birdie at least was badass.
Street Fighter V turn him to a fricking joke cause har har fat people funny.
Because they wanted SNKs crazy people style portraits.
>SNKs crazy people style portraits
Lol
Lmao, even
Why do they all look like the same person?
That's SNKs crazy people style, please understand
George Clooney
They look like (ಠ_ಠ)
where is his heart shaped tatoo on the below picture? maybe they forgot it so they added it on a new profile picture?
He was sick
He doesn't even have the heart drawing on his head.
They also changed Dan and other sprites (Sodom, I believe).
