Lol I was being sarcastic bro =P considering how outsiders see Hawkgirl as a "fly away and chuck maces x infinity" kinda characters with no mixups or up-close tools.


Also b223/b22~WE2 mixup doesnt work midscreen. you have instant divekick and WE3 shenanigans there though so it evens out.


To answer your question XxSYNDROISxX ,hawkgirl is more of a hit-and-run character with zoning tools and lots of shenanigans upclose, her corner game is amazing and you can lock down a lot of characters easy.
She has a couple bat matchups and need you to be patient and not flying around (Sinestro, batgirl, lex, WW) but she goes even or beats most of the cast, including the S tier crew.

Personally i think its worth it as both my subs (Raven and Batgirl) are considered "better characters" but i feel like Hawkgirl has the potential to be just as good as either of them, if not better. Plus she's also more fun to use, you can control the tempo of the match very easily with her which can be used as a tactic to through the opponent off.

She has her share of mixups but theyre not that rewarding midscreen, in the corner they all go into full combo for 40%+ damage and put you in a position to do the same mixup again.

Her combos arent long and while her "optimal" damage ones are on the hard side they're not impossible and you can get them down after playing for a bit. Plus you can play her without doing them and get similar damage.


Hope that answers your question.

I must say i am very happy with this character! <3 I am still deciding between main her or Catwoman (Catwoman have been my main since the beggining) But seems like Hawkgirl is winning! She is soooo funny to use! A great character definitely! Her gameplay is definitely what i am searching for! <3 Her bad mach ups are a few! And she can make the difference in a match up! <3 I am searching for more Hawkgirl players to have funny mirrors! :D i am very good with her tho... And i also picked her up because she reminds me so much to Jade in MK9 :3 My PSN IDs are AspyxiaDyslexia- (dont forget the last -) and EMPEROR_SunFire HMU :3

Yeah hawky's got dem t-rex limbs for whatever reason, idk why they made her hold the mace with both hands and be all slow and shit.
She couldve been alot more but whatevs, she's still solid.

And yeah dont try jump in as hawkgirl, pretty much everyone can just d2 or air-to-air you on reaction..

It sucks I love the character and her combos but her range forces me to play practically use special abilities only. I feel like a dick doing it too people

Lol yes, her junp in is soooo high! Actually it has a good and a bad point of view... If you are jumping projectiles it is a great tool... But... As a crossover/jump in it sucks :c I dont care about her dashes because she has other great tools to get in

Nice, thats awesome to know. Its still a high so it depends on the move you're punishing but its better than whatever you can get off of d1 midscreen.

Yeah. I've been training my self to really use her F1 in my offense and for blocked punishes (it's so fast) and I've been seeing results...especially against Supes.

Looks like shayera was left untouched for the upcoming patch on the 2nd of July.

Not sure whether to be happy or sad to be honest.

She's one of the only characters who didn't receive any character specific tweaks or fixes interestingly enough, vast majority of the cast did.

I mean at least we don't have to change anything up now and she did get slightly buffed last patch with a light change to make mace charge more negative.

I really want B3 to be slightly faster.

This is something that they should change, the timing is very strict and doing it online...lol forget it most of the time. I kind of only use her MB back 3 to blow up wake ups and Doomsday's splash into full combo. I don't really use it for anything else.

Her B3 must be buffed :c it must be faster!!! And actually i loved her last buff because now we can use MB Mace Charge in a combo and it's godlike in the corner

So finally released a new skin! Blackest night only but hers is probably one of the most unique BN skins. Also Grundy skin they showed is Earth-2 which hints at the possibility of there being a set of earth 2 skins released... who knows.

I love her BN look.

Mostly cause the wings, can't wait to see it in motion.

Kind of even want to pick her up for casual online play now.

Lol only NRS, "oh Hawkgirl is one of the few chicks that doesnt look like a dude/ugly as fuck? well we cant have that. Give her an alt that makes just as fugly as the rest of the NRS females".

I'm glad she got something but wtf man, that shit is ugly as sin =__=
