Max’s vid has made it pretty clear that Clint on point will rock with the right assists/matchups. And that one corner combo was pretty damn cool, as well as pretty simple looking.
how much health does hawkeye have? does he make a good anchor?
Damn so that would give him a slick kara then, always a plus when it comes to controlling space.
About 900k, and we have no idea if he will be a good anchor seeing as how we haven’t played the game yet.
No it doesn’t. Woulda been really slick if it did, but it still seems like a decent assist, although if one of his assists has potential to suck its prolly gonna be that one(imo of course)
The biggest problem with the Scatter Shot assist is if you are near the corner. If you are too close, the arrows will land off screen.
Also, canceling a slide to the crossup Trick Shot combined with a beam assist sounds nasty.
I just wanna say I totally called the ice relaunch into combo then poison OTG then super. CALLED. THAT. SHIT.
I might have to take Task out because with Deadpool’s sick teleport combos and his slide which is also good I would have two good zoning characters that have long reaching slides into damaging combos. Deadpool/Hawkeye.Dr.Doom might work after all.
Nah I don’t wanna drop Task and need a second for Cap/Doom but I can’t wait to try out the synergy between the two. Super Scatter shot relaunching in the corneris right up my alley from playing Doom all this time. With his long slide leading to damaging combos like Pool and a super that leads to big relaunch combos only in the corner like Doom Hawk seems like he was made just for me. :pleased:
Oh and yeah out of Hawk’s assist I see scatter shot being worst because triple arrow should help you get in easier as well as extend combos with the help of an OTG, while the poison arrow OTG’s itself and deals some unscaled damage that can’t be stopped because Hawkeye exits quickly.
The poison from the arrow doesn’t stop until Hawk gets hit so it would be 200k unscaled extra damage I think. I’m not sure if the poison isn’t scaled as an assist. Does the poison still do 200k damage? Not sure does anybody know?
Really bent on making Task/Hawkeye/Doom work. Probably will go missiles with Doom and play the team more as a zoning/punish team. Zone zone zone until the opponent makes a mistake, then take advantage of Task’s shield skills or Hawkeye’s slide to punish into an extended combo. I’m still wondering about good opportunities to get in that poison arrow assist. Do you think you could tag the opponent with one during Tasky’s combo. For example:
Bread n Butter > launch > j.s (slam down) > jump + downward shot for OTG while calling Hawkeye’s poison arrow assist (or maybe not even using Task downward arrows to otg if Hawkeye’s is fast enough to do it by itself, but I doubt this will be the case) > launch > j.s (slam) > downward Legion Arrow hyper
Sorry for my unconventional notation, just thinking it out in my head
I also wonder if Doom/Task/Hawkeye or some variation would work, or Task/Hawkeye/ and then an anchor of either Vergil, Nova, Wesker or Strange. Ugh, every new character looks so good, it’s impossible to decide =/ Hopefully Task isn’t nerfed that bad, I don’t wanna drop him.
My Day 1 UMvC3 team (theory fighter training mode lol)
Nova/Vergil/Hawkeye
- Anyone can start dependent on matchup
- All these characters have great ground and air mobility
- All these characters have decent health
- Can easily handle themselves alone w/ or w/o XF
- They also can all safely DHC into one another, they all have Air-OK Hypers
- Assists Gravemetric Pulse, Rapid Slash, Ragtime Kamikaze
Hawkeye indeed will be one of the best characters in the game, I think his worst matchup will be Dr.Strange, second Wesker (projectile counters)
I’m liking Hawkeye as an anchor rather than point because:
- of his slide in XF3 ( of course basing info off of She-Hulk, and Phoenix in Vanilla)
- he should be able to chip a character to death
- his ability to self OTG + combo…this is what made Wesker so good in vanilla
- seriously a BnB into Super Scatter Shot, follow up combo to Gimlet XF Gimlet in XF3 should be retarded damage
(this is all based off speculation dont judge to harshly)
Question: Does anyone know if poison arrow’s damage gets increased if Hawkeye is in XF?
Lay off my team there buddy. Hawkeye/Task/Doom is Team Hacker Hawkeye.
This guy looks super fun with all sorts of different arrows. Hopefully all the arrow types will have their purpose and none will go obsolete. Going for a day 1 team of Morrigan/Hawkeye/Trish:)
If it’s a soft knockdown, they fall to the ground and ground recover. If it’s a hard knockdown, they fall to the ground and can be OTG’d. If it isn’t a knockdown, they air recover.
Anyways, I think Hawkeye looks like Deadpool. Good assists, fast, mobile projectile game, good normals to keep them off of you.
Gonna try him for sure. Love the keepaway characters,
I was thinking about a similar team as well. I’m Nova can dish out decent damage without having to use much meter since he has three level 1s, so he’ll work well with Vergil. I still think that Hawkeye should be in second and Vergil as anchor since by then you’d have a lot of meter stored and Vergil has teleports.
Now that I look at it, Super Scatter Shot does a spinning knockdown on airborne opponents because I recall people doing relaunch combos in the corner after it. Gimlet they just air recover.
I agree with you on having Vergil as anchor, but disagree with you because I plan on running Vergil more Zoning based.
so with that being said I plan on keeping Vergil as far away and as safe from my opponent as possible by:
- calling Hawkeye Ragtime Kamikaze assist and using judgment cuts to keep them in check, since moviing forward avoids the arrows
- using Vergil’s range in normals to keep them away
- using Vergil’s Spiral Swords/Blistering Swords as well to keep them away
hopefully these tactics plus a few others I have in mind end up working
This is what Im hoping for as well. No doubt some arrows will be more effective than others but I hope he ends up like dante where about 80 percent of his movelist has some real match applications. I might try out hawkeye/nova/amateratsu on day 1, but I have very little doubt my day 1 team won’t last very long.
DAT ELECTRIC ARROW.
Just want to say that when UMvC3 hits my team will (probably) change to Zero/Hawkeye/Doom, with a similar design philosophy to the team I used in MvC2. (Magneto/Cable/Psylocke)
I’ve got a rush down god with projectiles, a zoning god, and an all-purpose kind of character with amazing assists. I’ll be able to start with Zero or Hawkeye, depending on my opponents team/playstyle. And in mid-match if one style isn’t working I can do a complete 180 and surprise my opponents with a completely different style of play. It can always throw people off switching my pure rushdown to pure zoning in the blink of an eye.
One of the sleeper arrows imo is the bolo like one that wraps the opponent up for about a second and 1/3. Hawkeye has a good wave dash so you might be able to use his slide to confirm into combo before they can recover from across the screen.
The trick is to know when it’ll hit so you can confirm in time. I think you might also be able to combo it in the air to maybe bring in another character to combo. Who knows for sure but I can’t wait to find out.
You can. The reason I like the hunter is because people who don’t safely DHC their team mate is, and instead choose to hard tag are easily punishable full screen.
Does anyone know how fast Gimlet recovers?
I’d love to do Zero combo, end with Rekkoha DHC into Gimlet then Super Scatter Shot (or another Gimlet) while Rekkoha is still going. Of course, that’d be for showing off/being a wasteful asshole, but I’m okay with that.
EDIT: And if I can Rekkoha --> Gimlet --> Super Scatter Shot --> Gimlet… Well, I’d be a happy little purple robot/marksman player.
rocckin that deadpool/hawkeye/ironman fa sho. so stoked!!!
i think hawkeye will be great anchor also. his gimlet arrow can punish many moves on reaction then xf and another one should be retarded. ialso like anchors that can connect more than one super by themselves 
looking forward to Vergil/Akuma/Hawkeye!
