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

Almost every hip-hop musician has said that line, from t.i., to ludacris, to lil wayne to t-pain to nas. I honestly don’t even know where the line originated.

I Can’t help but want to use hawkeye on my team(due to my love of zoning/keep away characters)

I say go for it man, he will probably fit perfectly into your haggar/dormammu team. Oh and as an aside, since hawkeye has the poison arrow as an assist, if he does connect, there is no way for the opponent to stop the poison is there? Since he is an assist they won’t be able to hit him to stop the flow of poison, similar to chris’s landmine assist.

at first i thought about Strange/Ghost Rider/Arthur as my UMVC3 Team(trying to go for the Zoning approach like i usually do in team games MVC3 it didn’t work out too well)but i am thinking i may have to switch out ghost for hawkeye

granted this all rides on if strange is a keep away character(which due to his mastery of sorcery is a big possibility)

Hawkeye
Quick Shot (Greyhound) (a)
Trick Shot (Violet Fizz) (b)
Rag Time Shot (Kamikaze) (y)

what’s Ragtime Shot and trick shot?(guessing trick’s the electric arrow)

Are all of his specials different types of arrows? Like with DP and RDP motions and maybe some with QCF S arrows thrown in there? I’m interested in using him for a new team in UMVC3, and I think he’ll be really damn good.

Could you list what they do?

Quickshot (Greyhound) is the 3 horizontal arrows.
Trickshot (violent fizz) is the poison arrow.
Rag time shot (Kamikaza) is the upward burst arrows.

Also, don’t forget that the poison arrow assist is the one that shoots down-forward similarly to Cold Star

Ultimate Hawkeye’s costume is cool. But I wouldn’t mind if they added his Ronin costume from Dark Reign.

hey ultimatum made u3 look like the best book in the world

ultimate hawkeye was a good character in a universe that did nothing but get worse

Question:
I just noticed that Poision arrow assist is trick shot. Is that the version where he jumps forward, or the one where he rolls like in the start of his trailer?
Also, if its the Jump version, has anyone checked if it otgs? It otgs for him on point, and seems fast enough to connect after an air series. And, Can he crossup the opponent as the assist in Poision arrow assist?
i’ll wait till EVO for the last 2 questions to be answered. Thanks!
EDIT: i forget which video its in, but i remember seeing him throwing what seemed like a frag in a gameplay trailer. Does anyone know what this move is, and what it does?

From my experience in comic-con, yes it can OTG. It is also the version where he jumps forward slightly.
I’m not quite sure on the last one, but I don’t believe it can.

Check out(I forget his names) write-up about hawkeye on the other page, it details a lot of his moves, including the frag type move.

would i be right in assuming trick shot’s his best assist?

I’m not quite sure.
quick shot seems to be best at helping a keep away team or rushdown team (since it seems like if all 3 arrows hit you’re knocked really far back, but also that you can use this like taskmaster’s horizontal shot during left-right mix ups).
I have no idea what kamikaze is best for, but i will say its my personal favorite to use with taskmaster. (it locks down, does great chip, covers the upward angle to stop super jumps, the only problem is getting used to how far away the shot lands from hawkeye).
violent fizz I felt was great for combos (it can OTG faster than Kamikaze), its great for a left and right mix up just because it can lead to a poisoned hit if you don’t guess correctly but when it came to helping me rush/keep away you’d better leave that to another assist.
This is all just my own speculation of course, but ultimately, I say pick whatever sounds like it fits your team best.

well i always aim for a keep away team so i supose quick shot’s for me than

So glad he has an OTG assist. He’ll fit perfectly with Spidey =D.

I was thinking the same thing but im worried that cuz of the angle hawkeye shoots at it may have probs connecting in the corner
