T.Hawk Q&A: Ask simple questions here!

Its not that theres a lack of info on his combos. T-Hawk really doesnt have a lot of combos. The ones he has are important though.

Quick note, maybe it’s just me, but the hitbox data link in the OP isn’t working.

@ NickExtreme - Nice video! I’ve updated initial post to link your video.

@ genki - I’ve updated the link.

Thanks

i’m sorry i don’t understand this one… if i do that motion condor dive start immediately? i was quite sure that jump needed a little animation and high before it was possible…

i have to try this one!

Its basically the very second he jumps he does a condor dive

i try to do this… but at least i have found no difference between doing the motion or not. doing motion just make that little pause, is good cause you are doing anithing and are not pressing immediatelu the 3 punches that sometimes can become a jumping HP. Is this correct? or i was drunk??? :slight_smile:

i want to ask another stupid question and of course this trhead could be he right place. The point is doing an ex condor dive after missing an ex tomahwk. I’m not sure if is possible to connect condor dive ex to escape on missing Tomahwk if the tomhawk t least don’t touch opponent. Assuming that opponent block ok i can continue to dive and escape away (but in some situations it could be dangerous same way) What about if opponent don’t block and tomhawk is totally out of range? is possible to continue with dive? it has to be timed early? or simply it’s not possible?

you don’t need any inputs other then PPP to do dive. There is no “instant” dive either. T.Hawk does have an “earliest” dive though. Perhaps kitkat was using the motion as a method of timing when the earliest moment is. I don’t see it as helpful.

It’s a cancel like everything else in the game. You have to touch the opponent in some way–either a hit or they block it in order to cancel into the ex. dive. if you whiff EX tomahawk well… you’re screwed.

thank you, everything is more clear now.

I had unknowingly discovered the quick dive mentioned by iamKitKatbar when I was learning Hawk because I always thought you had to press down + PPP to do a dive. Out of habit I still do it.

Nice thread. Why isnt this stickied? I tried out T.Hawk again today and I was really feeling him (nahmean?). I think I might make him my alt. I’m curious though, would he make a good compliment for my main Cammy? I have massive issues against defensive charge characters such Chun and Bison. What are T.Hawks matchups like?

Also, is EX. TB into EX Dive worth the meter?

Thanks!

Not much of an answer, but doing this creates an almost full screen gap between the players. I can’t think of a time when EX TB>Dive was the final killing damage for a round- meaning it doesn’t do a ton of damage.

Personally I’m not afraid to use Hawk’s meter. I think he has to rely on it to contend, so why not.

Dhalsim, Boxer, Claw, Blanka are tough matchups. Sorry I can’t explain more right now.

can you fadc the EX TB ?

Claw is not a tough matchup.

HZ - no but if the EX dp is blocked or hit, you can always follow up with ex dive as long as you have the meter. it puts you on the opposite side of the screen and is unpunishable (sans maybe a really psychic seth u1, i cant really think of anything else that would hit it, even with heavy anticipation).

well there goes my combo idea haha … was thinking of j.bodypress s.mp ex.TB fadc u2

Agreed. Boxer isn’t too bad either, probably a 5-5.

I should have gotten the dude’s name at AI last week. One of Marn’s buddies I think. Claw player completely dominated everyone. I guess he’s a diamond in the rough? And for Boxer, play Keno for a few rounds. Hawk doesn’t work.

For a variation of your combo, here’s one of mine. I’ve been able to use j. FP instead of j. D+FP for another 10 damage or so after I made the video.

u2 is a grab and therefor cannot be comboed into

boxer is brutal when you’re in the corner. but he can be safe jumped and os’d all day and st.fp is great as well as cr.fp for stopping ex dashes.

Boxer, in my opinion, is a 5-5 and at worst 6-4. Hawk has great pokes to stop dash punches (s.hp) and as gridman said cr.hp for ex dashes. I played gootecks a few rounds online (it was kind of laggy and yeah I know online doesn’t mean shit) but it honestly isn’t that bad of a match up. Rose on the other hand…I have no idea what to do against a smart Rose.

That vega was Tatsu I’m guessing.

And play Keno with ANYONE and it won’t work, haha. He’s too good. I wanna see mike ross use hawk vs. keno.
