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

Doom is the perfect example as a character who’s assist options are infinite. He IS the best assist character in Vanilla. Hands down. Many even argue he’s pretty much an assist character only. So seeing HE as an assist only character is feasible at this point. And since he’s so dependent on his arrows on point, he could need assist as well to help keep characters out, since realpolitix feels he needs assist to cover his basis.

But the big difference here is…Doom is solid on point, where HE probably won’t be (which is why I hate Doom getting buffs).

Sounds like Tony Stark will stay as anchor for me… And here I wanted to vary it every once in a while. Oh well…

Where?

But scatter shot from what I heard is bad in the corner because it has a set spot it lands, and in the corner it’ll land out of the screen. Correct me if I’m wrong though.

EDIT: Yea Clint will be great as the middle man, Gimlet hits anywhere on the screen so you can’t really miss lol as long as the opponent isn’t on the floor.

Can fire Three different arrows after the motion input which is just… sick. http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/sep/23/huge-amount-ultimate-marvel-vs-capcom-3-change-notes/
Long list of hawkeye shit. I have a different type of assist in mind for the corner with Thor Thinking something that will lock down. Scatter shot pretty much covers the entire sky keeping people out of it.

I’m thinking that Dormmamu’s Dark Hole assist will be a great cover for Hawkeye

I play Deadpool/Task/Doom in vanilla MVC3 so Pool, Task, and Doom getting buffs will make me kinda scary lol. I also play Cap/pool/Doom and X-23/Trish/Doom so Trish’s super OTGing and Cap getting his rightful double jump plus an OTG and a hugely buffed flip make me so happy.

I can’t wait to add hawkeye so all my teams don’t have Doom in team lol. I really wanna test out a Hawk/Task/Doom and a Cap/Pool/Hawkeye team. I hope I get more slots for teams because Trish fits well into my projectile pressure teams. I don’t wanna have to scroll over just to select her. I hope Hawkeye has some fast normals because he’s a good fighter in the comics.

Chips Ahoy!!!

Hawk/Task/Doom is Team Honzo

As long as Pool/Task/Doom is still team Franchise I’m good. Hawk/Trish/Doom is going to be so annoying and awesome

:wink:

Poison tip doesn’t scale!? I love this character even more.

I was thinking Task/Hawk/Pool or Arthur/Hawk/Dorm would both be equally disturbing and annoying. Some of the projectile durability on his arrows is just sick.

Not sure if anyone has noted this yet, but poison fizz will stay on assist characters. They can still heal, but when they come back out, their health will be drained with the poison still in effect.

Nice find RF… question though seeing as I am thinking about sticking Hawkeye on my Thor team are any of his assists good for Keeping people grounded? I would think Scatter Shot just not sure.

Thanks man, thats disappointing but I guess its all in favor of balance in the long run.

It’s really good yeah, I was wondering how useful it would actually be, given that it’s just delayed/non-red damage as is. (and it doesn’t seem to do substantially more damage than like triple arrow, but that’s kind of hard to judge).

I haven’t heard of what Hawkeye’s assists are, does anybody know?

Info is out there for sure, I know scattershot (shoot up one arrow, multiple come down) is one, and I’m pretty damn sure people said triple shot was another…

Triple shot, scattershot, and poison tip.

Holy! Poison Tip as an assist? That’s pretty scary, but I personally think that Scatter Shot is going to be the assist of choice.

As a reference the Poison tip is the OTG version. Probably gonna be a good assist if you already have enough assists for covering rush.

People were saying that scattershot doesn’t have any projectile interactions as of at least the Evo build. That makes it essentially unavoidable (it covers a huge area anyways) and unstoppable in the ‘stuff anything get out of jail free’ kind of way.
