Now, comrades, probably a few of you guys main him, but let me explain.
I play Arcade Mode as Gief and I defeat Chun Li, Gen and Dan
Then at the volcano stage I fight Hawk.
He is a freaking cheater who has messed up AI, comrades!
He just blocks the kicks and Lariats, and when I jump/go for a Piledriver, he does his stupid move called "“Tomahawk”
And his tornado throw has more range grabbing than freaking Zangief Piledriver.
What can I do, comrades?
You can kara spd using cr medium kick and a jab spd. But Gief jab spd has more range than any of THawks grab you shouldnt even have to jump in. If you knock him down dont stand to close to him during his wakeup unless your going for a mixup.
Did I get this right, you are playing against the AI?
Because grapplers are harder to fight than “normal” AI characters. The way this works is that the AI reads your inputs and acts accordingly. So basically when you do nothing or block you get grabbed, when you press a button he throws out invincible moves.
Just try to grab him all the time, the AI reacts badly to empty jump grabs.
Try far cr.hk for knockdowns or just random ex-gh. I mean, this isn’t a player that adapts to your style. Also, Hawk’s command grab does NOT have better range than spd
