yup… just confirmed it again…
if any of you have any doubts about this… believe me, it works…
I did light spd, cross up body splash into cl strong xx dp… it got a stun… did focus level 3… then right into U2… As soon as the U2 connects and the animation begins… you see “4 hit” combo show up at the corner. U2 is UNSCALED ladies and gents.
aftert a combo like that, even a fresh ultra 2 is gonna hurt !!!
yeah, i would think if you land it after any dizzy it should finish any character off. :tup:
Is this corner only? I keep thinking you have to be super close. Good thing I typically insisted on U2 from the get go. It’s not foreign to use ya know… good find dude!!
lol i shouldnt have doubted what my friend said, he’s a top player and all but i didnt want to just spread it as truth without testing it out myself. and fuck whenever i tried i somehow messed up the input and got ex uppercut instead lol
Corner specific set ups are for sub-par characters like Yun, Crumple U2 works anywhere homie 
The story of my life. I tried it 5 times and forgot the motion was with punches afterward. derp.
U2 is a little strict. If you finish at down back it won’t come out. It has to finish back or up back and it will come out.
Does anyone know if there are any anti-akuma teleport option selects? I keep getting blown up by akumas who can completely escape my mixups.
I dont think any of hawks stuff reaches that far. I just try to call it and jump back spd
In AE you can jump back and either land and spd or ex CDive to catch the backwards teleport. Maybe. Just theory at this point. If you are doing splash crossups and he is teleportibg back you can jump late and CDive when you see the teleport. This is mostly prediction though.
Ah well, never mind eh, I’ll stick to OSing with Ex Spire to catch the backdash.
Does anyone know in AE whether they buffed Hawk’s DP? Can he still get stuffed from jump ins at the early start of his frames?
It’s absurd how he can be grabbed out of the early startup frames of the DP. Even during a reversal!
Nobody knows for sure, there’s been some input from RandomUltraDavid that HP DP may be better.
Yeah, I’ve complained since day one that he has too few invincible frames. It’s bad, but he’s also like 400lbs and 8 feet tall so… lol
BTW Dhalsim is stupid. How’s that for intelligent discussion but almost universally agreed with?
I swear, some days my footsies just completely amazes me. Too bad I generally lose than when it counts.
Less than a week until my first tournament. It’ll be a small one with a few dozen people (and its in North Dakota of all places), but its still a tournament dammit, and someone needs to be there to represent the Hawk.
…but knowing my luck, I’ll end up playing my friend, who’ll either play his damn annoying keepaway Ibuki or switch to Blanka for the lulz (his Blanka can only beat one thing: *my *T. Hawk. And nothing else >_<
I’ve been using thrust peak a lot lately. It’s got a really good hitbox and it stuffs a lot of pokes.
I don’t hate the matchup as much anymore thanks to having a friend who mains him. Still dumb as hell though.
AE comes out next week I guess ill start posting here again.
I started playing again about a week a go… I stopped using Ultra 1…entirely.
I also learned that if you actually practice with Thawks Downforward Jab its a BROKEN anti air and causes a dirty reset
Arcadia Magazine AE tier list has T. Hawk only above Dan. http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2011/may/31/super-street-fighter-4-arcade-edition-tiers-arcadia/
I say, bring it on AE! :badboy:
Yeah i saw that earlier. He still has a ton of bad matchups. But he supposedly does well against the twins. At least there is that. Unfortunately he still loses for free against too many others. 
Yeah. I’ve been thinking that the release of AE would be a good as time as any to start practicing an alternate. I love T. Hawk and he’s going nowhere, but I’m thinking an alt would be a good idea. Yang, Evil Ryu, Adon, and M. Bison would be my likely picks. Watch me train with one and only use them against Blanka…
