Adon is a tough match also- if Adon gets a lead, he can really eat up cloak.
Did find out down+MP beats RH jaguar tooth, and hawk dive will punish a short jaguar tooth.
Pretty sure blocked ground jaguar kick= free jab TB.
Guessing a 4-6 matchup.
Fuck Gouken.
OMG SIm is a bitch, even just decent ones, I cant walk forward and block like ST cause apparently T.Hawk is the only character who walks in invisible maple syrup and molasses. That being said if you hit jabs you can do very simple mix up with 360 or sweep. I’m about to test on block, and naturally this works better on characters without reversals.
Loving Hawk so far.
T. Hawk is very godly in this game. Got the Fivepeat quite easily with him. Juri and Adon were somewhat troublesome, though. I can see the Shotos being somewhat difficult, too.
I see him in very high tier early on, but dropping later as people figure him out.
This.
Good thing though is he will always be near the top. Well, everyone will be as this game is incredibly balanced.
It’s just fun finally having a solid T Hawk. People will always be afraid of facing him no matter what as simple mistakes will cost them the game. Love it.
hey guys I want to know how is Jab into 360 grab is done because every time I do the 360 motion he jumps please help???
Played for a couple hours at a friends house. Will give more of my input once I can play him later, but I just wanna back up a comment gridman made.
Down+Forward Jab is the biggest piece of shit move ever.
In this game, you dont have to do a full 360 to get a 360 to come out. You basically just have to go from forward, to down, to back, and then tiger knee the last part so its up diagonal.
So basically its F DF D DB B UB Punch. you should never jump if you do it this way.
So people have been saying that d.fierce is a good anti air but ive had it get stuffed alot. it has sorta slow startup. does he have anything better as far as normals? (I also think that df.jab seems to suck) Obviously his DPs are sometimes good anti airs but what about other normals?
I guess im spoiled by blankas d.strong
close standing MP is really good anti-air if they’re jumping close to you. When they’re far away, S.HK is pretty good.
cr. FP is a good anti -air if they are right above you. I’ve used it to stuff even some of Akuma’s dive kicks.
BTW I’m for now deeming Hawk the king of priority pokes. His st. mp, st. fp, and st. fk can even beat Bison’s st mk and st fk.
Ultra 2 is the shit, man i like Hawk a lot in this game, but yeah as stated hes not going to be at the top forever, but will be close to it
I haven’t played T.Hawk yet, but from playing other T.Hawks he seems like a really good character.
I spent a lot of time thinking about it and I came up with a video tutorial on the key to playing T. Hawk well.

I’m liking T.Hawk so far. I’m still fairly scrubby at SF so a lot of what I’m using probably doesn’t work well at tourney level, but here’s what I’ve been messing with.
Dive is a pretty useful tool. I haven’t run across and normals that beat it out clean. Usually at worst I get a hit trade which works well for T.Hawk. Been experimenting with different dive angles. up jump low angle is pretty useful for moving in and seems fairly safe. up/forward jump and higher angles for jump over stuff. Still trying to cross up consistently with it.
DP is decent anti-air.
Not sure on how I feel about spire. It doesn’t cover a lot of ground, which sucks, but it feels like it has decent priority and it beats lows. I really don’t know much about the properties of this move normal or EX, or where I should use it, suggestions?
360 is good. I usually use the LP version for mixups after. Usually go for jumpins or dive, or whiff spire into another 360. What do you guys use after LP 360? Also what are properties of EX 360?
U1 seems way better than U2. Only place U2 works is if you have an opponent empty jump to get out of a 360.
I like him, but overall Zangief is way easier to use.
jump in, s.mp x2, jab DP is FAT damage.
Whiff Spire into 360 would be a lot better if f b d db didn’t give a dp.
A well timed spire will knock bison out of his new ultra, which is good, since that ultra has inspired 11,559,731,338.3 new scrubs to play bison. He’s practically the new ken.
Hey guys how exactly do you unlock t hawks red tile? I would really like to have it but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to, cleared all his trials and beat arcade mode with him and i still can’t get it.
i have only used zangief once because of this guy
