People keep talking like not being able to shoot down/forward is a problem, but really you just shouldn’t super jump unless the other guy does it first.
I think you could at least set up one trap or teleport mix up before you are really able to do much
but stuff like this really matters
Looks like everyone is gonna slot hawkeye at second, I’m gonna work him into a anchor though so that my X23 can gain those M feint mixups from his arrows. I like him at second also, just not more than X23 there.
Am I the only one who thinks Hawkeye can be a solid anchor. It reminds me of arthur lvl3 xfactor and that is an absolute beast. Also a simple Gimlet-xfactor3-Gimlet sounds like good simple damage to finish off a weak char.
I really dont get this he can shoot down foward…he has one trick shot that jumps back and he shoots down foward the other he jumps over you around back and shoots down forward… unless they changed that and I missed it.
Yeah, the damage on 7 rings isn’t the best, and I’m probably overblowing the situation. I’m just worried that when Strange is sitting on a few bars, the simple threat of it is going to limit what Clint’s going to be able to do to fight him. Plus, even though it’s not a particularly long period of time, the untechable time after 7rings looks long enough for strange to set up a trap or do a teleport mixup, which could be scary in and of itself.
I’m gonna try building around him on point first, simply cuz he looks so damn fun.
It’s not going to be gamebreaking, especially since so many other characters have the same problem, but I do think it’s going to leave him with some problems against people who can protect themselves on the X-axis or fight at a diagonal themselves. It’s probably not going to be a huge issue either way.
That’s why I said “while airborne” specifically.
One very basic Hawkeye question- do any of his (non-hyper) arrows have high projectile durability? I recall reading somewhere that his Spritzer (QCF + H) had the best durability, but I might have imagined that.
His electric arrow has some really high durability from what I hear. It apparently blows through everything, from what honzo(or someone) said, it even goes through itself.
it might not go through stranges blue thingy
So his poison arrow assist OTGs, right? What’s the consensus on its speed and if it can actually be used easily in a combo? Anybody tried or seen any videos with it being used effectively? Can it only be used after a hard knockdown? I’m trying to think of a time to mix it in with Tasky’s combos, Nova’s/Strange’s/Iron Fist’s OTG combos/crumples, or maybe after Doom’s new and improved foot dive.
what are the propertys on Hawkeyes hypers? like if you an oppenent thats fairly high in the air with Golden arrow, do they air recover, or fall to the ground before they recover? and the same question on the multi-arrow hyper
I believe both are a soft knockdown, so they’ll air recover. Not that’s a big issue or anything. Although, I have been wondering myself with hyper is the best to finish with. I feel like Super Scatter Shot might be hard to DHC from because it carries the opponent upward.
Why not both?
(and by this I mean finish with Super Scatter and link Golden arrow off of it which unless they changed it is very possible.
Viper/Vergil/Hawkeye = high tier team
Am i just late to the party or what, or did i just see hawkeyes slide jump canceled in max’s new video at 9 mins? It’s possible its a hop, but none of his hops go straight up. So, whats the deal here fellas, am i just stupid?

Notes
-Gimlet is amazingly fast! It punishes Dorm fullscreen for laying down a Flame Carpet
-Air throw looks really nice, looks like you could possibly continue a combo from it in the corner, can follow with a Freeze Shot midscreen
-Wavedash into slide covers halfscreen can is fast enough to punish Chaotic Flame (possibly other beam hypers too)
-Slide could punish teleports that make opponents appear in the airspace behind the opponent
-Amazing Freeze Shot relaunch combo at 6:44
Yea max(or whoever was playing hawkeye) kept dropping the otg poison shot, but he did give us a basic idea of how he handles and he had a nice super scatter shot combo in there as well.
I believe he is canceling Hawkeye’s Cr. C (Slide) into trick shot, but he does not press a button during it, so he didn’t trigger the shot.
his scatter shot assist tracks right?

hmmm…close enough.
after watching max’s vid, i stand by what i said, hawkeye is one of the best lead-off characters in the game and potentially one of the best characters in the game.
