So how do people feel about the Raven match up. Seems pretty ruthless. She's pretty much unapproachable while she's traited up.
With hawkgirl you need to never give Raven space to activate trait. It feels 5.5-4.5 advantage to HG imo, its very based on momentum from what I've noticed.. if you make them play "your" game you control the match.
Hawkgirl wants to stay semi-mid range in the air, where both SC and lift wont reach her and she can toss maces at Raven and punish trait activation. Where Raven is trying to either be close enough to use lift and bring hawkgirl down or with enough distance to be able to use trait and start pillaring all day and use teleports.
However i feel hawkgirl can get into her "comfort zone" alot easier in this matchup and make Raven the one having to take risks.
Usually if you're at max height Raven's singularity wont catch you, but I've been caught by Singularity sometimes even when I'm at max height, it seems dependent on the stage as some of them have higher ceilings (Themyscira is low so you'll get caught but cellblock is higher so it wont etc). Pillars work if you can pinpoint it to where HG's at, hella hard though imo as HG can easily move away with MC or just flying forward/backward. Raven's best bet is to try to control space and catch HG before she gets to reach max height, SC her when she's jumping (our jump is slow and very floaty) or stay in mid-range alot so you can use lift to punish her, plus i dont think HG has anything that'll punish SC/lift unless she's semi-close range).
Most of the hawkgirl players seem to think its in Raven's favor but i personally dont see it, if you play it right Raven cant catch you at all it seems.
. There's a guide on the DS forums on it.
