i played a Hawkgirl player on psn, and got mindfucked!
interesting character, unsure what Superman can do in the matchup lol gg to whoever it was
Like Boonendorf said, learn to get in patiently. Understanding her flight options goes a long way. Up close the best thing Hawkgirl has is that Superman can't back up and make her d1 whiff during f23 xx breath pressure like he can with most characters and it beats his d1 in that situation due to its range, but f23 still really strong and if they fuck around in that range too much... Also learn to reaction punish her sweep and divekick with f23, once you can do that Hawkgirl has to either take big risks to mix you up or get b2 to connect, which is easier said then done given that moves range and startup. If she flight cancels her normals, that should be free f23 float combo lol. It's a good idea to go into training mode to understand her flight and wing evade options as a whole so you know how to blow them up, too. But yeah, basically work your way in patiently and make good reads or reactions to her escape options or offense. Playing shitty zoning war of attrition with her is going to take longer and require far more reads on your part then going in and pushing her shit in with a character that has extremely strong and threatening fundamental pressure.
I can do forward 3 but b3 is impossible for me as well. Have you ever tried that stomp kick when ever the enemy is down. Pretty good for pressure
b3 has shit range, so you often have to be literally right next to the opponent after 123 for it to connect. Right now f3 is way more reliable, and it's like 3-4% damage difference outside of transitions so it's w/e.
Also just so people are aware, I'm pretty sure Hawkgirl's f1 and d1 are 7 frames, not 6 (They were punishing -7 stuff reliably, -6 not at all) unless they changed it with an update or something lol.
Oh, and just to make this clear (Not to anybody in particular, but I'm noticing some trends in my long posts lol), when I say Hawkgirl has shit approach I mean against characters that already counter her air options and zoning well with their own and take advantage of her slow-ass floaty jump. If it's Harley Quinn or somesuch then idgaf, just gonna do what I want to lol.
