Eagle is a non-playable character in the first Street Fighter game as one of the ten CPU fighters.
Eagle is the primary representative of the zoner playstyle in Street Fighter Plus Plus. He is placed solidly among the commonly viable characters and that is for good reason. Wielding his signature escrima sticks, Eagle's swipes and swings put up a menacing wall that proves very hard to nullify without the proper tools.
While projectiles may seem like obvious answers for any characters that have one, an Eagle with good game sense can actually use the opponent's ending lag as a means to help set up advantage, making them more of a risky mixup than a go-to option.
In SF1++, Eagle is selected by holding 
and 
at the title screen or VS. Screen and pressing Start.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Incredible framedata on standing attacks | Underwhelmingly sluggish mobility |
| Appreciable damage output | Lackluster answers to jumping or crouching opponents |
| Impressive poking ability | Fairly limited capacity to approach the opponent without a clear opening in their defense |
| Terrible susceptibility to move loops |
