“The distance Blanka flies away after a blocked Beast Roll has been cut in half, making it much easier to punish if blocked.”
This has made me happy. I’m guessing we can punish it with a s.hk or ex spire now. 
I hope some Hawk buffs are announced soon, Hakan got some, so Hawk needs some now.
I’m guessing now that other characters got nerfs, Hawk won’t get buffed, but instead just get adjustments to his inputs. He’ll be on a more even playing field.
Yun looks like trouble from that video posted on the front page.
i will never play hawk in sf4 again if he gets 0 buffs.
The translation was rough, but the SSF4 wiki has some news, and it says that Hawk can back jump Condor Dive, I think. Is that good for you Hawk players?
Would be nice, It is my only major gripe with T.hawk.
EDIT: Seems like only the new EX Dive works on a back jump. But if we’re lucky, it will be an overhead like the post-EX-Tomahawk version.
So he can do that, and he has EX Condor Dive stand alone, performable by KKK. Don’t actually know it’s properties over the regular version, though.
What? Really? Wonder what standalone EX condor Dive is possibly for? I’m hoping it’s an answer for Blanka’s upball. Or it would be something like HD remix where it’s a dive that does not knock down and puts you right beside your opponent where you can mix things up. Just my speculation, though.
Jump back Dive could help him I think. Can imagine it to be used for baiting purposes or punishes.
I told Ono this at comic con, and he basically said “he would look into it”.
He did mention a new ex, but I had no clue wth he was talking about. BUT it’s hawk dive
hey T.hawk persons, how do you see Seth’s nerfs affecting your match-up against him?
CD on back jump, Different Spire input.
I love the ideas on the change to U2 motion to make it faster. It is quite hard to pull off on the fly.
Think jump back ex dive will go through Akuma’s air fireballs and Ibuki’s knives?
According to the Japanese Wiki and the always reliable Google Translate:
? UC2 was determined to throw a fast generation, or extended range
? P grows strong determination
I think that means that Ultra has fewer startup frames and more range. I would say that’s a pretty good buff, especially the faster startup time. Ideally it would actually be active starting on frame 1 and would grab airborne people even if they’re RIGHT IN FRONT of T. Hawk, instead of whiffing right through them.
But I have no idea what “P grows strong determination” could mean.

Does some wonderful person want to translate this? It’s all of the known Hawk changes.
I plugged it into Babelfish and got this:
[deijiei]
?Standing is strong K in sublevel
?The thunder hawk which rises to about speed EX sonic of EX [sura]
?EX condor diving being single-engine, it to reach the point where it can put out, it is possible even from back jump. As for command KKK
?The throwing decision occurrence of UC2 became quick, or the range spread
?Strongly the decision of P became large?
Doesn’t exactly make much sense. 
Basically, his Ultra 2 has a bigger hitbox and grabs faster…and s.hp has a bigger hitbox, which would make it useful as an anti-air, perhaps?
id be worried if theres no spire changes. like really worried
I think it makes the match up almost free. we wont find out until arcade hits though. Mainly because Seth lost his best tool when it comes to keeping us out.
The Thunder Hawk which rises to the speed of EX Sonic…I can’t even attempt to understand that…

I think the first two bullet points are referring to the character DJ. after that, it refers to T.hawk. here’ what I got from google translate.
DJ
? K is standing strong in the middle
? EX EX risen at about the speed of Sonic Slide
Thunder Hawk
I put out the one-off ? EX Uninari Kondorudaibu, also available from the jump back. KKK command
? UC2 decision to throw a generation was accelerated, widened the scope Shiku
? P grows strong determination?
yes, the first two points are about DJ.
For hawk, it talks about the ex condor dive, the ultra 2 hit box and startup, and the last one is about fierce punch getting a larger hitbox, I believe.
I wonder how the larger hitbox works though? To me it could mean many implications:
-I can hit crouchers with it
-I can reach further. Could be nice if the range makes it easier for me to stop fireballs at it tracks in a good distance.
-It can hit higher. Meaning I could use it as antiair.
For me the last implication is unnecessary since I already have other better antiair options, the first two would be great.
