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

Send the OP a PM maybe cause he might not keep an eye on the thread.

I love playing as archers in any game, so I hope Hawkeye is a total beast. Not that it matters with my terrible MVC skills. -_O

list the arrows and i’ll put them in the first post <3

-236A = Triple Arrow. Goes straight ahead.
-236B = Dead Arrow. Hitting grounded opponents, it locks them in place momentarily. Hitting aerial opponents, hits kinda like Deadpool’s bolo ninja gift. Goes straight ahead.
-236C = Lighting Arrow. Goes straight ahead.
-623A = Detonating Arrow. Explodes on hit. If it whiffs, it plunges into the ground, then detonates itself a few moments later.
Don’t remember much of 623B and 623C except one of them is three arrows that fall from the sky.
-214A = command jump backwards with A, B, or C followups shot diagonal downward
-214B = command roll forwards with A, B, or C followups shot forward
-214C = command jump forwards with A, B, or C followups shot diagonal downward

From the command jumps/rolls, followups:
-A = poison arrow. Also one of Hawkeye’s assists. Depletes a certain amount of yellow life as long has Hawkeye doesn’t get hit.
-B = don’t remember
-C = normal arrow that hits OTG. Combo into golden arrow from air S in air combo.

Other stuff
-3C is Hawkeye’s slide kick. Crazy fast startup and even crazier range. Looking to be the best slide in the game yet. Can be chained from 5A/2A, 5B/2B series (5C and 2C didn’t chain in the combo).
-6C is a two-kick series, with the second kick knocking away. Like 3C, it can be chained from 5A/2A, 5B/2B series.

Anyone know what happens to a poisoned character if they get snapped/tag out? Do they continue to lose life? Does it halt red life gain, or does it just wear off?

For that matter, what happens if you poison an assist?

Is it possible this is Net arrow?
That’s what it sounds like to me in the videos and it just seems to make more sense.

fighting is about hitting and not getting hit. I get that regularly people say stop running i ignore half of the hate mail the other half i troll them hard

this is a good one for hawkeye. Notice how he can jump back and stagger his air arrows, it makes kind of a arthur daggers effect.

I hope Hawkeye gets this alt.

This is probably the triple piercing, I have no idea what differentiates it from the triple arrow other than its angle but w/e.

I got to make Hulk and Hawkeye work now.

IT WILL HAPPEN.

Just got back home, at EVO i was running Hawkeye, Trish (peekaboo), and Doom (Missiles) most the time, really solid team and net arrow followed by landed missiles created interesting full screen combos. I played him more as keepaway with hit confirms off missiles and peekaboo when people tried to get in. Really fun character and will be my definite point once the game drops in Nov.

haha that pic needs a “You gonna get raped” tag…

Ahem.

Funny how I didn’t notice this thread till just now.

Thems fightin words bro, but it’s true and part of the reason I don’t play online, unless it’s within my city.

Lol @ comic book talk, Ultimate Universe is, for the most part ass. What type of shit is it that Spiderman gets killed by a bullet, Xavier dying from magneto breaking his neck, a cannibalising Hulk, and Wasp getting cannibalised by the Blob? I’ve never been attracted to it however due to Captain America being a dick riding government pawn with little to no regards for civilians NOR his surroundings. The EXACT opposite of what you saw in his movie (thank god). To each his own, but for the most part the Ultimate Universe sucks ass outside of their art and costumes, specifically hawkeyes. Which I hope they make as dlc, any of them would do fine.

With regards to an earlier post, hawkeye’s boost probably won’t be a temporary thing, they’ve been figuring out the chemistry needed to promote their characters, look at Thor and Iron Man. They’ve been doing a good job, and hawkeye is far from a Task Master clone, it’s “aim of HAWKEYE” when arrows are raining down on people, not “aim of TASK MASTER” don’t get it twisted bro. Respect the trick shots.

Back on topic, I hope hawkeye can compliment thor’s zoning better than Stark or Cap could in vanilla. Once I has a ducking opponent I had to rely on cap usually to get some chip damage off of them. But maybe Hawkeye’s beta assist will give me that diagonal angle on zoning to cause damage to small crouching characters. I’ll have my fingers crossed, just don’t know which order of my various avengers teams I’ll run and where I’ll place hawkeye. Maybe he could be an anchor, but I doubt it, I’m not sure if he can open people up easily. But we’ll see…

Next thread for Hawkeye should be his combo thread called “Guns are for wussies” after one of his win quotes. And matchup thread called “Arrows v.s Guns”.

I should note that Hawkeye’s death scream is “I HATE BEING MEEEEE” and would make for a fantastic thread title in the future.

Read my sig? Yup, that’s why I already got Hawkeye in my sights to help Thor. He looks like everything Arthur, Chris, and HsienKo were supposed to be: a zoning character with mobility. I don’t want to use Doom as my assist, so Hawk looks like he’s perfect to fill the spot. He looks to plain to be an anchor IMO, but as an assist, he looks amazing.

Oh and Ultimate Universe is trash. Just another excuse to try “What if” scenrio’s.

Hey guys, I played Hawkeye every match I was up in UMVC3 at EVO and I got a good amount of win streaks as well. I see Royal Flush has put up some of his moves already so I’ll put up any thing he missed.

623B: Scatter shot: Basically the regular version of the super. Hawkeye shoots arrows into the sky and then multiple bomb-type arrows hit at ¾ to full screen. Multiple hits. Not sure if OTG’s or not.

623C: Chain Arrows?: Hawkeye shoots arrows into the air and 3 chain-looking arrows land at ¾ to full screen. Does not go to the top of the screen. The animation shows that the arrows remain attached to his bow until they land. Not sure if I means anything but I figured I would note it.

For Command rolls and jumps:
A: Poison arrow: Hits OTG and causes a soft knockdown. Will poison assist as well if they are caught. Can be used to combo into Golden Arrow super.

B: Ice arrow: Hits OTG and causes a ground bounce on OTG. Did not get the chance to try and OTG Ice arrow into assist into relaunch, but nothing showed me that it wouldn’t work.

C: Chain Arrow: Shoots a single chain looking arrow. Hits OTG. Can combo into super.

Supers:
Golden Arrow: 236+PP: Hawkeye shoots a single ‘golden’ arrow. This move is REALLY fast and has great tracking ability. Only time it missed was when the opponent was moving very quickly. Contrary to popular belief this super DOES NOT OTG. U must use an OTG arrow first. I personally used poison to make the keepaway game that much more annoying.

Super Scatter Shot: 623+PP(?): I might be wrong on the motion as I didn’t really use this that much. It can be seen in his trailer.

If u have any other questions I will try to answer then as bet i can.

The ultimate universe was amazing (better than the main one in some ways) before Loeb got involved.

Loving Hawkeye at the moment. Definitely going to be on my B-Team, based purely on my love of classic avengers. I’ve wanted this guy in since MVC3 was just a rumor. Hell, since MVC2! Now if only Vision or Ultron were anywhere to be seen…
