I now that this tech was pointed out, but you’re not seeing its full potential:
S xx DP. M (scatter shot) xx Gimlet
Let you do the follow up of your choice and takes more damage than the atual BnB. That happens because the scatter shot always soft knockdown. I even managed to do a very impratical that does around 830K using 3 bars and nothing else. This tech increases Hawkeye damage output significantly.
I was just about to come and ask if anyone had found this yet. First time posting under hawkeye.
I like to follow it up with j.bcs, ice shot relaunch bbcs poison super. Theres also similar tech in the corner:
a,b,6c (two hits), s, scatter shot, m, 6c (two hits), dead arrow, 3c, s, j.bbcs, poison arrow, gimlet.
I also have a nice combo using dormammu assist if anyones interested.
Do tell… My current team is Dorm(a), Hawkeye(a), Wesker(b)… so I’d be interested in any Dorm Hawkeye combos.
At the moment I’m starting a lot of my Hawkeye combos (if Dorm still lives) with slide+Dorm alpha assist xx forward roll xx poison arrow… after Dorm’s assist finishes hitting I go into standard launch series, then relaunch with otg poison arrow + Wesker’s otg assist into another standard air series into otg poison xx Gimlet.
try this in the corner: AB6C (two hits) S, stagger j.bbcs so the first b hits really early and the s hits really late, land call dorm pillar assist, backdash into scatter shot, exploding arrow, super scatter shot. Theres more potential there but im still working away at it.
Ill post a video this weekend of some things i found. Im catching up on schoolwork after being forced home for a few days. Sorry for the vague combo description above.
Corner combo 1 mil for 4 bars using dorm pillar assist. Will be going in the video ill be making shortly:
a,b,6c (one hit) xx 214axxb, b,6c (2 hits), s, j.bbcs (hit s reaaaaally late), call dorm, backdash, scatter shot xx super scatter shot, scatter shot (actually connects if done right.), lvl 3.
has anyone managed to break 700k raw (not counting poison) for 1 bar? I usually have no problems figuring out the hitstun-ignoring moves a character has and turning them into ToDs but I’m struggling to get past 600k with my current team (Strange (Eye)/Hawkeye (Greyhound)/Doom (Missiles). is this even possible with the character? lol.
Seems that any way you slice it, Hawkeye can only solo combo for less than 600k. Even with assists his damage scales considerably. There are methods using assits and 2 bars that break 600 easy, but I’ve never seen Haweye do 700+.
This is probably because of how good his archery/slide are. He is one hell of a good character.
I cant break 500 easily with one bar, and 650 with 2, if you want 700+ its going to be expensive. I do have a 1 mil 4 bar combo in the corner with dormammu assist though which isnt terrible.
I’m getting 500k and poison on everything, I can DHC to 700 but that’s about it.
Granted i’ve only been messing with him for a couple of days now.
the 700k DHC i’m getting from a fullscreen stand H though so, I personally consider that pretty good. on par with ghost rider at max range but from even further away
I can break 700 easy with DHC into Cap then into Akuma. It’s just not worth the meter when I can easily do 770 with Cap alone.
Why not count poison if, in the not-so-rare occasion, you put it at the beginning of a combo so that all of the damage is done?
With poison I can get 680K meterless from a slide, and that’s a guaranteed 90K from the first poison and another practically guaranteed 90K from the second. With assists, of course.
Did anyone find a good Hawkeye combo with Wesker low shot assist or with Striders Vajira?
with wesker you can just do normal poison arrow relaunches, with vajra you can do some neat stuff with the S, TK Cancel scatter shot into Gimlet, assist hits, trick shot l poison arrow into a 2nd super but its not really worth it
Hi, this is my first post here. I made a video with some Hawkeye combos, i hope you like them
The double launch with Scatter Gimlet is sick. I actually came up with that on paper at work today and was like “Hmm lets check the boards” and low and behold there it is! Good find. I believe that hawk can now be a much more solid anchor.
LOL Don’t you love when Marvel inspiration hits when it’s not supposed to? I hadn’t really been trying to implement this tactic yet, but I suppose now it’s time. I guess I’d been hesitant because it seems harder to do on hit confirm, like being prepared to either cancel to a tiger knee DP or instead to a QCB. When you guys go for the Scatter Gimlet as BNB, are you changing your basic sequences for hit or block at all? I’d been assuming normals into slide into a quick Poison Arrow is our best block string, have I been way off on that?
It actually physically possible to get the freeze shot out as quick as the poison one?
No, it is not possible.
Thank goodness I checked these boards, that Scatter Gimlet relaunch is sick stuff.
I’ve been going from the scatter after Gimlet right into Ice Shot for the ground bounce as they’re falling, iirc starting with Slide, S gets me 650ish or so. What kind of damage are you guys getting from yours?
