Oh god T hawk

[Callisto]

I vote KOF XIII tournament, there's got to be 1 or 2 more mexicans in here.

you actually beat me to this lol, I was thinking of posting this earlier today in light of it being Hispanic Heritage Month

[Krandor]

Oh god T hawk

Bitches don't know about someone being able to play a fucking awful character semi-competently.

And by competently I mean abuse his normals & crossup dive and trick people into fucking up by playing like a complete douche bag.

And KOF XIII all the fucking way. I've been playing the arcade dump for the last 2 weeks or so, fucking loving it.

the only sense in which you played like a complete douchebag was having me spend a whole fucking week in the lab learning the hawk matchup and then picking bison lol

Nah, I mean I'm AFRAID of T hawk. More so than gief as Yun, really.

[Yuffy~]

While Zangief is pretty much a 80% rape, I don't remember having any particular problem against T hawk as Yun. Especially if we talk online, special throws are baitable + punishable, dive is punishable to the max, etc. But Zangief, oh Zangief

[Jefe]

PSN Ts are fucking garbage. I love the move they do, when you beat their asses and run to gief or t thinking they'll beat you. Let the barrage of taunts ensue.

[Kipling]

Zangief is less mobile, I feel like I have an easier time keeping him out and controlling space. Might just be me though.

[Krandor]

The problem with 95% of the T Hawks you run into online is that they throw. Unless I've got my opponent completely mindfucked I might land 1, maybe 2 360s in a match. As awful as he is T Hawks normals are pretty beast. df+p is awesome at stuffing Dive kicks (just never use that shit against a standing opponent since it's somethings stupid like -4 on hit, and -7 on block), and he's got mad range off his cr MK and standing HK. Shenanigans off his EX Dive (which you can do while jumping backwards) and learning the proper spacing on crossup dives can really mess with some people, since it's a fight most people don't know in the slightest.

Of course it's counterbalanced by how thoroughly a lot of the cast will absolutely demolish him. If you're up against a Blanka, Guile, or turtling Shoto, you might as well just put the fucking stick down.

Also for the love of god, T Hawks need to stop picking U1 ):

[Sonomaa]

we should wait for street fighter alpha 3 online edition to drop, hopefully itll have the world tour mode that the PSX version did, that shit was boss

[Krandor]

Karin for days.

[Callisto]

I feel the total opposite, since Hawk is more mobile many Hawks I face seem to feel like they have to make use of that and try to force their way in with bad jumps/punishable dives. Gief gives me trouble since Sak is a mediocre zoning character, eventually I lose patience and try to barge in and/or get baited into that brutal U2.

[Xno Kappa]

Karin V-Ism, all day erry day.

[Krandor]

T Hawk can be more mobile then Gief, but it's not like his Dive is safe in the slightest. They improved it a ton in AE (EX Dive going thru attacks, and making recovery change depending on how high you hit the opponent), but it's still not a move that can be used with regularity against alot of the cast. Especially since people have finally gotten wise to the trick of shorting dives and throwing the person while they sit there waiting for the block to go off.

[Vandole]

i pride myself on being a good thawk, and its so easy to troll people doing condor dive going over them. it really helps against charge characters. not to mention his cr roundhouse is a 2 hitter that throws most people off. his normals are gdlk too. also some rumors about him being pretty high tier in 2012.

Gimme my pink fuzzy slippers in evo 2012 ono.

[Callisto]

Yeah that definitely gets me all the time, more than anything else he has, Guille also has something similar that drives me nuts.

[Krandor]

It'd be nice but I doubt it, he's got far too many issues that would need fixing.

That being said, changes on his sweep, and his MP DP being throw invincible are good touches

ran into krandors T.hawk today on pc. My cammy got put on blast, evidently she cant block condore dive.
My ryu had an easier time tho. Hate that i have to be close to fight a t.hawk with Dudley/Cammy cuz i know ima eat a gdamn SPD or stupid condore moves

[Krandor]

Finally managed to get Tenpeat on the PC version, all T Hawk all the time (actually I did use Dan for one of those, and sadly did better with him then I did with Hawk)

[Deejay]

being a good thawk

no such thing. he's far and away the scrubbiest character in the game
