I always run the Avengers, them being in the game assures Capcom that I buy the game though. And everyone I said I was going to use I use, Clint will get his place on my team, probably a Cap/Hawkeye/Stark and MAYBE Thor/Hawkeye/Stark. Gimlet is gonna be a great dhc super since it tracks the opponent anywhere on the screen. And his assists look useful for cross up and pressure purposes. So yes, count me in as someone who will, from day 1, be using Clint Barton in umvc3.
Again, you might as well just put Hawk in the ‘derp’ sections for assist right next to Doom. Hawk will work with any team as assist specialist I think.
Agreed.
I fucking hate him already.
So we are putting Hawkeye on the Doom tier?
lol I think its a little early, but his assists seem to have potential. The scatter shot assist was a lil disappointing since(correct me if Im wrong) it doesn’t track, but the straight shot seems to have a lot of priority(plus judging from vanilla you can’t really go wrong with a fast projectile assist) and poison shot seems to have a good amount of potential, so yea when it comes to assist he seems to have one for a lot of situations and teams.
Just as a minor note to the people saying how he might not be a good battery. The reason I thought so was because someone was saying they were going into resets after an OTG poison arrow and found it effective because either way your getting additional unscaled damage. I guess its too early to tell.
I just think putting hawkeye at point is not a bad idea, but if you put him at second hes ten times more dangerous.
Hawkeye is going to be like Doom. STRONG on point and as an assist and won’t be heavy execution like Strange or a glass cannon like Vergil/Strider.
In other words fear the PURPLE!
I can’t find a video at the moment, but can’t the Golden Arrow miss? I know there were times when people tried to use it to OTG and missed, but I’m pretty sure I saw it miss an air-born target at least once.
I’m really interested in his exploding arrows to occupy space. They seem to be good fixtures. And those electric
grenades… I hope the activity can be delayed. I’ve only seen them explode quickly
@2:19
Basially I want controllable Pineapple Surprise ha ha. Do these seem immediately useful, if they’re just a normal projectile?
Hawk…strong on point? Not sure about that. His tools look like there meant to fluster, not keep out. Realpoltix admitted Hawk will need assist to keep opponents away. Hawk’s not supposed to keep you away. He’s supposed to chip the shit out of you while run-and-gunning. I see him only be strong on point when you build a team around him. Isn’t that the idea now? Team synergy?
Another thing is techicality. Sure, he may not be as hard to use as Vipor (or Strange or Vergil, but we haven’t played them yet, so doesn’t count)…but that doesn’t mean he’ll be easy to use. Look at Thor. Yes, on paper he’s easy to perform magic series and a move or two in training…but get him in a match, and you find out he’s VERY hard to utilize in an actual match…and win. So don’t think Hawk will will turn derp in the end. I don’t know, maybe he will. But we don’t know that.
Yea I definitely feel he might be a little hard to utilize, which is all good, you don’t want any brain dead characters no matter what their playstyle is. Can’t wait, hopefully the iplaywinner tourney next week has some top level hawkeye play.
Probably best to run him second IMO. Though he could work first. Probably a bad third.
People forget that “hard” can go beyond individual combos. Hawk has a lot of options with his command movements and bunch of different property specials, the brief chance I had to play him he did seem a bit overwhelming at first. Plus with how damage works in UMvC3, you pretty much can’t be derpy with a zoning character by definition… (except maybe at bottom level play)
He seems like a bad third, normals that don’t look very good and he seems to lack mix-up so if the meta-game stays the way it was in umvc 3(at least in terms of anchors) he will probably be a little meh as an anchor even with lvl 3 x-factor, especially since keep away characters historically don’t do very well playing from behind.
Ill either run him first or second depending on how deadly his hypers are, at the moment they seem pretty deadly so ill prolly run him second with a nasty assist in the back.
Yeah, I see him as a perfect 2nd. Decent 1st with right assist. But 3rd? I can’t see him as such. Who knows.
Too early to say statements like this. He could have great ridiculous chip in X3factor or some new tech could come out.
Either way I think it is safe to say that keepaway will have a place in competitive UMVC3 so I hope we’ll see the best from Hawkeye. Hawkeye with Doom using misstles as back up could very well be one of most cheap things in the game.
Current Doom tier seems reasonable. UMvC3 Doom looks as broken if not more broken than MvC3 Wolverine, and I can’t see Hawkeye possibly reaching that level.
Does anyone know what state the opponent will be in if you hit the on hit super on the ground. Will it be like a crumble hit or like it was hit by like a projectile?
If you mean gimlet, then it doesn’t have an special effects on hit. Super scattered shot picks them off the ground with each hit. I would say more so than Thor’s Mighty Thunder and Magnetos Magnetic Tempest.
Anyone thinking Clint might be the antiwesker?
EDIT: I think I read somewhere that hawkeye has a double jump, is this true?
I actually haven’t seen any evidence of a double jump from anything I’ve seen, but it would be nice if he had one.
he defo is a sleeper, ghost rider aswell
will be playing a hawkeye n rocket team week 1
