I can agree with Hawkeye not being a true point. Defintly a 2nd character to me, but im just curious about how hard it will be to avoid him in X3 if he has meter? No matter what unless you pop X too, gimlet will always cause chip. Would be scary if all hawkeye had to do is super jump and just spam X3 gimlet till your dead 
It probably doesnât do a lot of chip, even in lvl x-factor. I mean shit does mediocre damage on hit, I doubt itâll do a lot of chip. Capcom so far have done an admirable job in terms of balancing out free chip, the moves that are easy to get out(like okami shuffle and HSF) either donât do a lot of chip or are extremely punishable while the ones that do nice chip are usually hard to get out(hail storm). Im guessing giblet is gonna be like okami shuffle in that it does mediocre chip and actually looks extremely punishable up close.
I think gimlet (ehhhâŚhate that term. I like gold arrow better, but huh) will be more like Bionic Lancer. All purpose, pretty safe, fast startup, covers alot of ground. But yeah, similiar to Okami shuffle because itâs safe on block (Is gimlet safe on block by the way?). And it stuffs team hypers. Again, an annoying all purpose move. Itâs not meant to due real damage. Itâs meant to fluster the opponent.
And whatâs the projected damage on hyper scatter shot?
Not sure, check out this vid, maybe you can do a better job at guessing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnqHlphOtMA#t=2m28s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wx8jwZgrZE#t=0m38s its kinda hard to approximate due to damage scaling and all that good stuff, but it seems to do admirable damage.
I think we all agree that Golden Arrow is now the unofficial âofficialâ name for his super not dumbass sounding gimlet. Anyway I think most people will only use Golden Arrow (GA) as a way to punish assist easily and from anywhere.
The fact that it hits anywhere on the screen and is almost instant means itâll be perfect for it plus assist take more damage so itâll probably be worth it. I also am pretty sure most Hawkeyeâs when trying to get damage will always go for the falling arrow super especially because it can be comboâd into GA twice if ya have the meter or instant DHCâd and still get the full damage of the super.
I wonder how fast the recovery on gimlet is. Maybe you could use it in a team hyper with okami shuffle to mixup/follow up
Wait so the Gold Arrow pierces through people?
Gimlet means âto pierceâ, which it does. Pretty fitting name, so I call it the name itâs given. itâs a solid super that has its uses, for one it doesnât miss, even goes as far as even hitting behind hawkeye. Itâs not gonna do tremendous damage that damage is guaranteed everytime.
I would imagine itâs more than Gimlet.
If you have an assist out and Hawkeye fires it, itâll pierce your assist and hit you as well. SO great for punishing assists as someone put it.
post theoretical things you would test with hawkeye, combos, setups, etc
Few things I am wondering.
- what specials can hawkeye do in the air, without using his movement specials first? Is he able to use poison, freeze, and speed arrow(is that his 3rd one?) from a regular jump?
- do any of his ground based attacks otg? If so can he continue any combo from it?
- I read that his electric arrow has medium priority somewhere, is that confirmed? As far as I know the only medium durability projectiles were arthurs golden lances and axe, and according to the guide trons gustaff fire.
The most obvious is Hawkeye with Doom misstles to just annoy the hell out of the opponent.
Deadpool would be a great member to complete the team imo, one of my main teams will be that TBH.
can someone actually answer a few basic questions
does the first arrow of the shoryuken hyper track, and if its in the corner do they just take turns hitting, or do they just go off screen
and can I combo into the net arrow off of a air magic series
Iâm really interested in HEâs slide. Iâm pretty sure it acts like other characters slides were you can do a launcher after it connects, but I want to know if it goes under projectiles, or if it otgs, or does it go far.
Iâm lost which super are you talking about exactly. One one of them tracks, Gimlet aka âGolden Arrowâ. The rest donât.
Super Scatter shot, which uses a âshoryukenâ motion.
It isnât really clear whether they track or if they just go across the screen.
Things I would like to know is how many of his arrows can be delayed and aimed, so far it seems only his triple arrow but I am pretty sure I saw a vid where he delayed the electric arrow. Also I just wanna sit down and test out a lot of his arrows for special attributes and shit, I mean right now the only arrows we really know much bout are the poison, electric, weight, explosive and the ice.
Plus I read somewhere that his super scatter shot stays on the screen if it whiffs(like a hyper version of his explosive arrow) and creates like a minefield. I find this very hard to believe until I actually see it.
I just want to know how many of his shots he can shoot diagonal down, if its a good number then that would bump im up to me
He also has a Triple Piercing Arrow and I remember seeing somewhere that 
H is Taser Arrow, whatever that is.
Thanks, good to know. Btw you wouldnât happen to know what the triple piercing actually does different from the triple?

You can seem them around the 0:39 second mark, he shot them straight up and they went through Viper. Wither or not they are vertical only hasnât been seen.
