One thing I suggest is not to cross up rose when she has ultra 2. But I thought it was ok to do so in round 2 to make her waste it since you had almost full health.
A couple of things I would do if she was kd with ultra 2 (when I’m gief anyways) is:
just walk on top of her pushing her to the corner, then walk back a little as she gets up. (out of her throw range).
stand next to her out of her throw range. react to what they do next.
I know there are more options that Hawk can do, but imo I think the hawk/gief vs rose match is almost the same. You did really well, other than watching out for roses u2, the other thing I would suggest is learning hawks shenanigans.
It’s probably not the best choice but sometimes when Rose activates U2 I just EX spire hoping to go through one of the balls and trade. She can still air grab if the timing is right but it’s hard to react to. . The best bet is just walking up and letting one of the balls hit you (blocking) as soon as it comes out so it’s wasted.
Wow. Her ultra 2 is ridiculous. In training mode. When Rose does ultra 2 and holds forward. T.Hawk’s ultra 1 will not grab rose through the balls if he churns it out. He straight out loses, any explainations? As per Pumpkin bomber’s suggestion, ex spd will grab her if she chooses to not jump or backdash. Hell, even regular spd will work. But Ultra 1 AND super do not.
She has some invincibility on startup. If I remember correctly. Super and ultra1 active frames run out before her invincibility does. That’s what it looks like. So I would say she has 2-3f of invincibility. They removed this in AE though so she can’t use U2 the same as she does in Super. So basically I wouldn’t worry about it too much now.
Few comments I have:
-Round 1: Like the EX Typhoon while Rose is in U2. A bit too gutsy for my taste, but if you’ve those guts, nothing wrong with it.
-You did a LOT of Condor Dives. Not a huge deal, I’m sure I can speak for many of us when I say that its easy to give into that temptation. The Condor Dive you hit early the second round was excellent, though. That’s how you should be using it.
-You did manage to dive out of trouble a few times. Always enjoy seeing that. Just remember that every time you Condor Dive, you’re risking punishment. Never assume its completely safe (even if it seems like it).
-You jumped on her U2 a few times. That’s a simple fix that you’ll learn as you go.
-I like it. Just be a bit more patient and ween yourself off of Condor Dives.
Damn that was pretty nice - he got dominated by Yun though, I hope that’s more down to the player than character disadvantages (I’m not able to play AE until it’s released on consoles without travelling miles to London). I noticed he used fp SPD more than lp SPD though and I thought it was more beneficial to use mp SPD and lp SPD instead? But I guess the damage speaks for itself x]
In my experience Clangers, Fierce is used primarily for damage and sitting on the lead after said damage. Light is used for setting up the crossup/mixup game. Medium spd gives you middle spacing and damage but honestly, the ranges of hawk’s spd is 1.5 (light), 1.45 (med), and 1.4 (fierce) so the extra range gained on a medium is shadowed by the fact that you could go for the more favorable extremes. Light = mixup, fierce = damage. Yun vs hawk should be in hawk’s favor because of spd and ultra 1 alone.
Yun is clearly broken in AE… i think hes a problem for the hole cast off sf, all he can do is + on block, and what capcom people was think with that palm attack lol, im imaggining that shit online with lag, srk + palm = godlike
