You're the Hawkeye master, so maybe you know: are there any projectiles that can survive Spritzer? I know nothing beats Spritzer, but maybe something that goes through it? I'm thinking about a zoning team, but it's hard to make those when Spritzer beats everything. So, is there anything that semi-cuts-even with it or something? Or maybe goes above/below it so they don't interract? Especially assists.
Any assists?
Any assists?
IM zoning team..... against Hawkeye...
Someone told me it does, but the gong is the M version anyway. It only lasts for 60 frames, so you're not going to be able to keep momentum with that. Really, Hsien-ko should have a special version of that for her assist that travels full screen length. That would be badass, and I would 100% put her on my main team for that alone.
How did you place?
The projectile counter hyper won't work because Hawkeye will recover before the beam hits. It's pretty much only good for countering other hypers or predicting projectiles. Even when you do use it to counter other hypers, you tend to just get baited by something like Shinkuu Hadoken -> Bionic Arm. -_-
What about an opponent who uses Dr. Strange backed by Unibeam? If I ran Iron Man / Dr. Strange (Bolts of Balthakk), maybe I could swap characters based on the opposing team, and Dr. Strange can be anti-zoning while Iron Man is anti-rushdown?
Repulsor Blast is one of the best anti-rushdown tools in the game. It shuts down tridashing, teleports, and command dashes. I think Iron Man is right up there with Doom in being one of the game's best turtles.
I think to be truly anti rushdown you need a super fast reversal or super armored moves with high priority. When I think of anti rushdown character I think of Haggar, Hulk, Chun Li and Viper.
Everyone wants to make the "low tier" characters work. A lot of new tech is coming out for him recently, too.
Maybe we can agree on this way of thinking about it:
You can do it from both. I've done it before. It's just harder from a normal Stinger as a opposed to a Stinger lvl.2. Not entirely sure why, but I think the hitstop is different on the Stinger lvl.2, making it easier. Could be wrong, though.
i love it when people think they are now in the game when they finally get close to me but only to be hit in the face with lariat. you can tell a lot of people don't have too much experience with lariat assist because i can get away with murder sometimes.
a lot of people think ducking haggar is all they have to do but they forget i can then throw their asses if lariat isn't connecting at all with them. lately i've been really working hard on my throws with haggar. in particular ground throws.@Smurfx - My problem is two fold against Haggar. I try to bait lariat and don't remember how invincible or how to hit it when it's out, and dealing with walk up grab pressure at match start. Nothing I hate more than a knockdown beginning of the match, especially since everyone goes for oki over combos lately.
How is the Strange/Ammy THC?
It's a free 50/50. There's nothing you can do about it unless Joe has no meter and you have an invincible hyper to mash out, or you both have meter and you have priority or can X-Factor/DHC to beat out Mach Speed. It's a pretty favorable situation for Joe, as it should be since he's spending 1 bar on a reset.
It's not a bad idea after the mix-up, but Joe has frame advantage after Slow IIRC. Let me check...
And, when your slowed character comes back in, it's not going to be pretty if you're on the defensive, haha.
I just want to know if:
0 bars consumed? iwannaseethereceipts.gif
1) It does.
