I’m just praying he doesn’t get nerfed.
Me too…would be kinda unfair as he does less damage compared to other tekken characters
He does less damage?! Which Hwoarang do you play? 
Mine is a damage monster. One of the best after tag imo, especially with 1 meter.
I thought this too, until I started using Flamingo stance… FS sMP is crazy.
ohhh? could you tell me more about it?

mhm… I always had trouble with the cr.mp xx qcb.HK after the ex hunting hawk. Do i have to hit the j.HK on a specific timing (early/late) or something?
Yeah, its weird. It just takes practice. J.HK into cr.MK xx HH isn’t too hard, but its very specific and there’s a lot of room for error.
Can you do this combo after a ground bounce (like f.HK into cr. mp)? Because I always land it after a raw ex HH for example (or any combo without broundbouncing) but never with them
edit: another thing, the switching into flamingo after the j.HK feels really long, i guess you cant to it with other jump-ins (like j.lp into j.mp) cause you wont have enough time?
Which one? cr.MP xx HH ? I’m not sure that it works, but I know b+MK xx HH does.
Ah i meant the EX. HH into cr.mp xx HH combo after a broundbounce.
Like f.HK cr.mp xx ex.HH j.HK cr.mp xx HH.
After a raw ex.HH I’m hitting it every time but with a broundbounce it misses
HH uses a lot of juggle potential. HH isn’t a groundbounce either, I don’t think. I believe its a spike – which has different properties. Try f.HK, B+MK xx EX HH, etc.
Yes, true. After groundbounce it always whiffs, so you have to use HK SRK instead of cr.MP - HH after j.HK
Here are a few basics for Gief x Hwoarang:

Fuck I wish I would have saw this before evo
Couple of questions… some beginner level
When do I input the tag characters charge-super such that it connects after EX.HH? Sagats charge super is consistently coming out just as the enemy is hitting the ground for me. If I input it earlier the move doesn’t register. I suppose there’s a window I’m missing in the middle but its frustrating! I do just hold the charge until it ‘activates’ by itself right?
Can any move follow up after 3rd hit of HK.HH?
Assuming you have meter, what are the best ways for Hwoarang to use it? I read his Super isn’t that great and aren’t sure which EX moves are worth it. Or should I just use the meter to switch-cancel?
I’ve been working on a simple flowchart of sorts just for one way of getting in with Hwo. Can anyone comment for better or worse on this line of thinking? Maybe there is room to continue pressure from MP MP into FLA but I’m not sure.

This is kind of a waste of meter, so I wouldn’t recommend it. You can usually do the same thing if you switch-cancel the 1st hit of HK Hunting Hawk.
It uses up too much juggle potential to follow up, but you can switch cancel to reset the juggle potential.
Switch-cancel or EX Hunting Hawk. If you do a sloppy jump that you think will be anti-aired, you can also do EX Air Raid Special to blow through anti-airs.
I recommend using the 5MK > MK string for all hit-confirms. It has good range, and you get plenty of time to hit-confirm. If it’s blocked, you can frame trap with FLA LK > MK or finish the 5MK > MK > HK string and cancel into Special Step xx Dynamite Heel for a slight frame advantage, allowing you to apply additional pressure/mix-ups. Both of those sequences also combo on hit, though it’s usually better to finish with HK Hunting Hawk after a hit.
hwo’s mk mk string is whiffing on a crouching sakura. Anyone else notice other stuff?
yeah her crouching hitbox is super tiny, the first hit of the mp mp string will wiff too.
Yea, Sak is a pain in the ass for Hwoarang her hitbox is tiny
