That’s good to hear about the normals. At least a trade from the DP isn’t horrible. Rather that than a stuff.
Any word on his tick throwing? I’ve been watching videos and I’ve noticed nobody has tried to set up a tick throw. It has me a bit worried.
Thanks in advance.
I just want to say that, with the possible exception of his st.RH, T. Hawk’s normals look like they could be the best he’s ever had.
Do we know how unsafe T Hawk’s specials are on block? From the newest video in the video thread (~10 minutes of Dudley vs T Hawk) it looks like spire (whatever the horizontal one) equals a free SRK from Dudley unless he does EX…?
Tick throws are fine, and deadly because of his long grab range.
Also, I forgot to mention, his c.LK is not that great, pretty sure it’s not chainable, not sure how easy it will be to link from. It definitely will not be as useful as Gief’s.
^^^ That dude also says Guile will be high tier. Just sayin…
guile did get some great buffs in every category
Other than his 360 and EX DP, his specials look poor, but his normals look good. Couple that with his high health and damage output and I’d be shocked if Hawk wasn’t High-Mid at worst.
I’ll definitely be giving him some serious time anyway.
Overall his specials are very good except Dive which can be punished especially from some specific characters.
But his Condor Spire is a great move.Perfect to close the distance,can be used as an anti-air, to knockdown (the EX version),connect for combos and for wake up/oki game.
His normal like you said are really great.
I’m very happy for that.
He can easily do a tick->command throw apparently.
Turbo moments. 
You won’t need to be using Condor Dive as much as in ST anyway, since he’s got FA backdash/forward dash to close the distance. SF4 T. Hawk might be the best Hawk ever.
Hey guys. I’m looking forward to taking up t-hawk when super comes out, but I have no experience with him as I never really played his earlier versions.
So two questions: How close do you think SSF4 T-hawk will resemble his former self, and where can I find videos of top level Hawk players from past games?
Thanks alot!
That’s a bit of a strange question. If you never really played Hawk at all, then why do you want to know how SSF4 Hawk stacks up compared to SF2/HD Remix Hawk or Alpha 3 Hawk? This Hawk might not be too different from prior versions, but SSF4 I think is too different from older SFs to really draw a fair comparison. To attempt to answer your question however, it seems like Hawk has lost a lot of his old tricks, but he benefits from SSF4’s mechanics.
Then again, the only SF game I ever played for a long amount of time was SF4, so…what do I know?
I dont get it… whos the retarded looking guy?
lol its tony hawk the skateboarder

I agree with The Ultimate about that=>
T.Hawk has many returning stuff from the old Turbo but with the mix of SFIV gameplay mechanic.
So it’s also new to us.Plus he has a new special move which is important to his gameplay for now on.
Somethings are remain solid.Like command throw setups,Dp as reversal/anti-air etc,Dive and ofcourse his main pokes.
T.Hawk plays different from Zangief (like all grapplers which they have their own unique style).
But all grapplers have the same method.Be close to the opponent to grab him.
All starts from there.
It’s just T.Hawk,Zangief,Birdie,Hugo etc. have their own style to approach the opponent but the same rule goes to every one.
If you want to get an idea of how T.Hawk plays in the old Turbo i suggest to see some videos from Youtube (if you find with K or Toutanki it will be perfect) but don’t rely to much in these vids because its from Turbo and many things like we said has changed with his addition to Street Fighter IV world.
But you can get an idea like i said.
whats the range on hawks command grabs like? better than giefs, not quite as good as hakans or horrible regular throw range?
-dime
The word is that they have better than Gief range. Jab spd is the distance of 2 people.
Generally has pretty much the same options of tick=> command throw like Turbo.
Not exactly the same but very close.
But you have to know that only Lp Typhoon keeps the opponent close to T.Hawk.
EX,HP and Mp Typhoon send opponent far away.Ex typhoon has the same property like Mp typhoon.
