I’ll be disappointed if you don’t.
I will then when I get back from work. Gonna be extensive.
Bumping the only character thread so far.
Lol and Hawkeye no less. I’m here for this though
Can’t seem to get mission 9 down, second jump heavy is block, must not be getting good height on the launch
My boy hawkeye doesnt have forward hop anymore. feels bad man
Hey guys,
I’m in love with clint in MVCI, his gimlet is amazing giving a full combo if it hits. He is AMAZING against reality stone users with a lot of tools to fight them, his only problem is to open up the oponents, without the forward hop and with a slow wave dash he will have a ton of problems to open the enemies (and he can’t do much chip damage, because the only arrows that hit crouching opponents are the “trick shot” ones…).
I’ve just tested his poison tip, it does a first hit of 600 scaling damage + 600 poison UNSCALED damage, that is really good news due to the fact that guts is in the game.
I’ve been trying to work on his confirms from various arrows with chun-li, here is an example:
Yeah I absolutely have no idea how I did it. I think the opponent has to be relatively close to the ground and Hawkeye doesn’t have to fall too fast so that you can get the first HP falling and the 2nd HP going up. If they’re too high up they might either recover before the 2nd HP hits or make HK whiff.
I don’t know how Mahvel physics work and the only thing I noticed is that you need to get the right amount of hits on HP before cancelling into Spritzer, like 3 or something like that.
P.S. how do his BNBs look like?

Is there a proper sequence of damage when applying poison arrow? For example, I do a combo with Gamora into her sword hyper, tag in Hawkeye, and then jump back poison arrow, jump back explosive, jump back lightning arrow, and then hyper ends, and then usually another jump back explosive or lightning onto the ground as opponent recovers and Gamora stays on screen for a sec to protect her if possible.
I dunno if there’s a better sequence with damage scaling, or ways to “set up” protection and layer arrows.
I haven’t had much chance to do any bnbs, as usually if the opponent gets farther than halfway in on me I’m kinda screwed. He seems awkward to confirm into bnbs anyways. Any other good arrow zoning patterns to maintain zoning pressure quickly?
I think pressing forward as you jump gives you a little more height. Unfortunately, holding forward while doing the air LKs keeps you from linking them for some reason, so it’s going to take a lot of work.

Ugh man, what are you guys doing if people get in on you? Hawkeye gets smothered so easily. If you get an air grab can you do any sort of combo or arrow shots out of it?
Having trouble keeping up a good zoning pattern. I tend to do back jump electric arrow, spritzer in air as I fall, and then if it hits I’ll shoot an ice arrow, then a poison arrow and continue. Haven’t worked in the down down aerial shots too much yet.

I see sadly that there is no much love for Clint in mvci, but i’ve been testing a lot in the lab and have come up with a few things, not claiming theyre unknown but perhaps not widespread yet,
came up with a small combo that takes advantage of air spritzer and lets you launch the opponent again before him touching the floor, perhaps someone with interest (and more time) could test if it works in smaller characters and even optimize it!
right now taking into account the damage from poison it deals a mere 6130 damage, and i think it is practical to do if you get the time! could only get it to work after trick HK

(cant seem to make the clip show up in a small window like you guys can, and could not find a how to, if someone can help me pm me pls)

thats mostly my problem with many matchups lately, theres an awkward zone for hawkeye from an angle of 45 to 90 related to him where opponents can get in very easily and punish almost anything very easily, and his normals dont help much, although have been testing arrow scratch and it helps sometimes, but mostly wii switch to the other character
Sup Guys!
What are the combos I should be using with him if you could type out the notations that would be amazing thanks!
Usually, I come packing with the Mind stone just in case an opponent gets too close. You can also use it in the air and still put your opponent in a dizzy state.

sorry i know this is dumb…but…
I’ve seen people shoot an arrow before their trick shot arrow in youtube vids…i am only able to shoot a trick shot arrow after inputting QCB+LK and with the flip back move (forgot what it’s called and how you do it)…
my question is how to you shoot an arrow right before a trick shot arrow?
sorry for the noobness
@StiGgZ
I think you are referring to his Standing H normal. You press it once and it throws out an arrow. With that you can follow up with QCB+LK or QCB+HK with the followup of your choice. I hope that helps man! I am still trying to learn Hawkeye as well.
I also wanted to ask are we allowed to post other players videos in the fourms? Or do you need consent from said player to post their matches?

@RJCPopsGhostly
Ah that makes sense! Thanks so much dude…although when i see the combo vids, he seems to be crouching before letting off the first arrow…i’l lgo home after work today and see if his button-pressed arrow can be done while crouching.
Perhaps it would help if you gave us a link of the combo video you’re looking at
I think this is pretty much why Power Stone is far and away his best gem.
Power surge covers that 45-90 degree blindspot, knocks the opponents away, AND gives a wall bounce which is just icing on the cake. Even if you trade, the wall bounce into hard knockdown is guaranteed so there is pretty much no bad time to use it.
Reality Stone kinda works but has bad recovery and bad frame advantage up close.
Mind Surge is way too slow.
How do you deal with people who always forward tech. Generally when zoning, even if I snipe them some people will forward tech 100% of the time. I tend to get hit by surprised a lot when people do this. Any suggestions? I’ve though about close up arrows, but I wonder if that’s too slow
