Blocked f23 all day, punishing with d1 and reverse MC. Air maces both directions, scattered meterburns. In footsie range nothing but WE3, MC, D1, and a rare throw. Took it easily.

He pretty much poke the hell out of him with d1~Mace Charge and a few mace throws & WE3. KDZ looked like he didn't know the match up.

It's pretty cool that Hawkgirl is pretty much always safe with tactics like this. You only really get punished if you whiff.

I wanna reply, but I'm not sure how to word it...props to him for repping Hawkgirl and pulling out the win to start off.


So what I'm gleaning from these comments is he didn't know the match up. Doing just that does not work for me against people I play a lot, I tried it once and got wrecked lol.

Do what works to win though haha, can't blame him if it works, no reason to stop.

Exactly, that doesn't work for me either, and also we know Hawkgirl can handle him, but he won and that's what counts

Yea KDZ had no idea what to do, happened earlier when he fought a Bane for the first time and lost a match against him. Luckily for him he adapted and ended up beating him.

Yes! But Hawkgirl is 5-5 with him, and don't knowing the match up would be deadly

HG vs Superman 6-4 in her favor. Enough with the bullshit. We've all been whispering it but fuck it..... I'll type it out. We know we've got the advantage. In the air, he's our bitch. On the ground, it might be even with his advantage being that he can deal 45%+ midscreen while we can get around 30% if we're lucky.

He can't F23/F2 low scoop and repeat because after we block it, we have the advantage. Yes, I know it's 0 on block and so is his superbreath. BUT he can't do shit to us to gain an advantage. Most of his ground options after F23 is blocked is raped by MC. So he starts neutral jumping or forward jumping or IADing after it right? D2 owns that shit from that range. So he backdashes? That's cool. Because can't outzone us anyway.

His backwalk isn't as fast as Sinstro so if he starts turtling up and trying to get space we can sweep him or WE3 to get close and take him. And once we sweep him or d2~trait 2d3 him, we get to rape his stupid face with the 3~WE tech and send his ass back to the Daily Planet to go get Shayera some fucking coffee. (And BTW, she likes it straight Clark. She's not a pussy like your loud-mouth girlfriend.)

Superman can't outzone us. AT ALL.
Superman isn't better than us up close.
We're safer than he is (although he can punish us unlike anybody else with Super)
Mid range game is his F23 vs our MC and WE3.
And HG can play the lame game better than him.
Random hits/perfect reads that he can convert to big ass combos is Superman's advantage.

Exactly! I have always said that Hawkgirl can turn on her favor any of her even match ups except for Wonder Woman! Because she can start being lame and fly all day! In a "well played" match it's 5-5

I wish Hawkgirl laughed everytime she landed a mace charge like Raven does when she lands a soul crush just because it would complete how troll worthy she is lol.


On a serious note, It could go either way...I'm undecided on the Superman match up, I go back and forth so I just stick with calling it 5-5. One thing I will say is that Shayera can definitely hang with Clark, her strange and unique design really comes through for her.

I dont think we have enough of an advantage to say its 6-4 but she can definitely go toe to toe with Supes. 5-5 imo. The better player will win, not much BS in this MU

Hello fellow Hawkgirl community. AspyxiaDyslexia got me to try her out and I am liking her unorthodox playstyle so far. What are some good strings to use in pressure besides WE1 and D1?

Well for me, I use 2,2 up 3 and 3, 2, back 1 because they're both plus 2 on block and your down 1 will win all follow ups so this set up a mix up and once they respect the down 1 you can go for throws, another string etc.

2, 2, up 3 is also good for getting out of the corner because on block it crosses people up, great for positional control and on hit it sends them away for zoning and thing like that.

Other good strings are back 2,2(mid, low) and back 2, 3 (mid, overhead), which are her mix ups up close and are both minus 3 on block. you can can do something like back 2,2 mace charge for example. You can also do back 2,2, wing evade 2 in the corner (it doesn't connect midscreen) for a good mix up that is plus 4 on block and launches for full combo.

Forward 1, 3: first hit is 6 frames and great for corner pressure when combined with wing evade 2.

Forward 1,1 is neutral on block.

There might be more options, but that's the gist of it and some of the ones I use for up close pressure, hope that helps.

They hopefully won't kill poster boy #1 (tied with batman I guess) with nerfs. But I must say a lot of things are too safe in the game. They need to tone that down.

I had my fun playing as F23Man if they destroy his entire gameplay.

Yes, they are only normalizing him, let's accept that he is not fair for A LOT of characters, i don't cry because i use Hawkgirl, but for 80% of the cast he is such a hell match up. And his straight laser must be nerfed af. It does 5% on chip without trait active -_- and its recovery is ridiculous

and his corner combos with the straight laser are insane. you can get up to 65% with trait.

True, when I was Green Arrow, a Superman ate me alive in the coner for 60+ percent, did the usual resets, then embarrassed me some more. You just feel violated the second you're touched with lasers or F23 in the corner. Hawkgirl can avoid this for the most part but guys like Green Arrow can't for the most part. :/

Not to derail the festivities of a Stupidman nerf (keep on, I'm lovin it), but has anyone found a way to combo HG's B3, other than 1,2,3? That just seems too inconsistent for me to pull off, especially since I mostly play online.
