720s FTW! (T-Hawk thread)

Anyone else find it ironic that the title of the thread is “720s FTW!” but R.Hawk doesn’t have a 720…?

It gets real frustrating w/ Sim’s jab chop.

That was my point.

Well I finally got some games in and my boy recorded them.
Here’s some Hawk Action.

It’s been too long!!

SF4 remarks. lol.

Good matches, especially given the matchups you faced. I saw the rust come off in your second game for certain. That Typhoon you landed against Ryu at 1:50 was CLUTCH, baby! :slight_smile:

I noticed you tried to cross up with MK. With R.Hawk you really have no reason to not use HP downsplash for crossups.

I wasn’t actually going for a cross up but attempting toi get him at the right distance for the Storm Hammer. I definitely use the downsplash for cross ups. That can’t be avoided.

Anybody else notice how J.Fierce completely owns the shit out of Blanka?

Guys, I need pointers on fighting Honda. All tips/advice are/is welcomed. I do have one major problem with Honda though - doing cross ups on em. Honda always nails me with his jab headbutt when i try to cross over with jumping down+fierce. Anybody have any suggestions on what to do? Below are some screen caps of honda’s jab headbutt that might help. Also, am i right in believing Honda is completely invisible in screen cap 3-5?

Also, help on what to do with Hawk when Honda spams sumo splashes would be great

late jab dp will beat sumo splashes or at least get a knockdown. crossing up honda is tough but you gotta be VERY close. yes honda is invincible screen caps 3-5. also, depending on spacing and strength of sumo splash, you can block and reversal 360

He’s actually invincible in frame six as well, you can’t hit the red hit box but it can hit you.

your absolutely right! i can’t believe i didnt notice that - honda is one tuff cookie to beat…well as hawk at least.

Cr.jab is your friend.

to stop honda’s headbutt yes, but cr.jab to cross over, nope.

Yes.

Actually, a lot of T. Hawk’s jumping normals own the shit out of Blanka. J.Fierce just happens to be the most damaging.

straight up jump fierce owns the shit out of like EVERYTHING. its so good

cr. hp beats sumo splashes with correct timing, it’s pretty helpful

That’s true, but all Blanka needs in that matchup is j. short and electric FTW. :wgrin:

Go back to the Blanka thread! Can’t you tell we’re plotting against you!?

LOL, my bad. I read “this and that owns Blanka” and I always take the bait haha.:rofl:
