"I Make Any Team Better." Official Hawkeye Discussion Thread!

Yeah i saw the raging on gamespot when i checked these out, it was so funny how dumb the ragers were in the comments, i guess none of them even read the article before looking at the alternate colors and thinking that they are alternate coustumes. tis dumb

Hawkeye’s actually included in a Fighting Game with the Avengers…and they’re arguing about his mask. Ah, the way Noobs pass their time.

Back on topic, I fully expect him to have some of the best Command Normals in the game (a la Taskmaster.) Since probably all of his Special Moves will be Arrows, it makes sense for his Command Normals to be a big part of his offense that sets it up. Plus he’s a former acrobat, so he can showcase agility in his combos…

I wouldn’t label them as noobs, since we were all noobs at a point, I think idiots is a more fitting discription. With that said, its sad just how little info we have gotten since his announcement, we still haven’t gotten a full rundown of his special moves and command normals. And with rumors swirling that umvc 3 isn’t gonna be playable at TGS its looking like we are gonna have to wait till nycc at the earliest to get anything new on him. At this point Im just looking towards release.

UMvC3 wasn’t suppose to be playable at Gamescom either, from what rumors say, and it wasn’t. They were in a small room with the same two guys playing. I’m sure they’ll have some people at TGS playing, even if it’s not on the showfloor.

Well thats good to hear, least it gives me hope.

I just wish we got more traffic in this thread, to me hawkeye has alot of things going for him.

if only we could see them…

i dont mind people playing the game. but if your streaming. at least have people on their that no what they are doing. and i know there is more than one cabinet. hard one eye stare

Yea Im still waiting for a rundown of all his arrows, that way at the very least we can start theorizing how each arrow can help his zoning and such. But honestly I don’t see that happening, the odds of anyone really sitting down with hawkeye at the next show when phoenix wright, rocket raccoon, nova, or vergil might get announced are very low. I’ve pretty much given up and am simply waiting for launch to test shit out.

Is it confirmed his triple arrow is a command normal (I think :b::h: )? If so, that’s pretty awesome. Full screen super fast hit confirm? Suh-weet. I think in his reveal trailer he did Single Arrow( hit confirmed), Net Arrow, Triple Arrow.

Wait… so if if the standard arrow is a normal, can we do like… Arrow> Freeze Shot, Arrow> Poison Tip, Arrow> Net Arrow, Triple Arrow?

This is the kind of character I have been waiting for. So glad to see Hawkeye make it into the game.

Do we know for sure how long Hawkeye’s Cold Star-esque assist keeps the opponent in blockstun? The only videos I’ve found have had it hit, so I can’t tell. I’m looking to use it as a lockdown assist.

If your talking about the poison arrow, it doesn’t keep em in block stun for long at all, its not a lockdown assist(at least not from what I know) he jumps out and fires one shot as opposed to cold star thats 8.

Thats what Im hoping, but there might be some restrictions on how many status changes you can hit in one combo or something of the sort.

really excited to get some details on poison arrow.

What’s there to know, someone already posted a vid of how much damage it does. It only does red damage really, and unless you hit hawkeye it won’t go away, even as an assist.

meh…not interested in this character at all.

Why on earth would you post then?

Oh my god, I know! I just wanted to scream at everyone of them. I wanted to personal message them and just tell them they’re a complete idiot without telling them why. Luckily for them, I don’t have a Gamespot account and didn’t care enough to make one :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, Hawkeye’s colors bring a tear to my eye. Especially the brown/sandy one. Hopefully it will go well with Haggar’s Kraven outfit and Thor’s Beta Ray Bill outfit.

Do any of Hawkeye’s assist otg?

Poison arrow does, IIRC.

Still waiting on information about his Arrow Shower. Nothing really new I can think of until TGS revigorates my brain.

I think it otgs and it seems like its gonna be the combo ender of choice since the tracking arrow doesn’t seem to do a lot of damage. But your correct, we know next to nothing about that hyper.
