I figured as much. I always practice on small ones with the philosophy that if it works on the small ones it will work on anyone.
Well yes! That's good.., but actually Hawkgirl combos work perfectly on every character! Except her corner ones that SOMETIMES whiff on small characters... And B23 D1~Mace charge only works on big hitboxes, but i changed D1 for D2, it's only -1% of damage, it's super easy and you have more options than Mace Charge

Am I the only one who would really want a Hawkman skin for Hawkgirl? lol I grew up with the Justice League cartoon where Hawkgirl was the main Thanagarian and she's my fave of the two, but just for more variety.
 
Naw! She is great! But i love hawkgirl so much! <3
Funny you mention this. I was thinking about sub-ing with this chick to help deal with HG's bad matchups. I hate the fact that I actually have to do this. I'd rather just always play HG (Espio understands this, haha). I'm just an OCV kinda guy, lol. Seriously tho, her bad matchups are just so damn bad. They're winnable yes, but man, the mistakes you make are much more costly and severe than the mistakes made by the character of the bad matchup. Like competent Sinestro's for instance, and once trait is out, wtf man, you're just done, lol.

Sweet, another teleport character. Definitely didnt see that coming >__> Another very fun matchup for HG thats for sure..

Fuck this shit man, one of the reasons i liked this game was it wasnt so teleport heavy like MK and the balance was kinda decent, plus even the teleports that were in werent hitting teleports which i fuckin despise, but that shit is all outta the window now with all the nonstop DLC garbage. Seriously 4 teleporting characters out of the 6? with probably more to come too.. I'm so butthurt right now dude you dont even know.
It doesnt help that Zattana has a face that rivals Raven's in fugliness. She was one of the characters I wanted in the game but not with that face, I aint runnin the fugly squad.. Why is Killer Frost the only decent looking female in NRS history? lol

If the up-coming patch doesnt give hawkgirl something to deal with the dumb matchups that'll probably be it for me from NRS games for good, the fact that matchups never cross their minds when theyre adding characters or balancing shit is just mind numbingly stupid. You'd think at least 1 person there would be like "hey, maybe we should actually think about how __ effects the game and how characters are gonna interact with it" but nah who cares about any of that.

I'm going to hopefully start repping Hawkgirl in the Michigan scene when I start back to college since I'm closer to meet ups when I'm up there in the fall.

I'm confused why I didn't get the alert for this tag :confused:. Yeah, for sure I love being a character specialist as well. I just wish her match ups versus Deathstroke and Sinestro specifically were more manageable, I'm used to having crappy match ups cause I played Stryker, Jade, and Sheeva in MK9, but it's just frustrating at times.

Although, I'm not using him for her tough match ups...I've honestly been playing Martian Manhunter only and haven't used Hawkgirl against any competition this week, mostly because I'm having a lot of fun with him and I wanna learn the match ups with him/get him down. He reminds me of her in the sense that nobody plays quite like him and the game feels really fresh too.

On a random note his in game dialogue with Hawkgirl is cool "Hawkgirl desist" and "Stop Shayera" gave me hope they had clash dialogue. It's kind of lame they don't, but at at least they acknowledged they were buddies in the Justice league.

Well... I would main Zatanna even if she sucks (i doubt that lol) Hawkgirl & Zatanna were my favorite heroes <3 followed by Wnder Woman... Now i am complete <3 :) I am so excited for Zatanna

So, I can't play HG worth shit anymore ever since I was busted in that offline tourney, I honestly think I'm gonna drop her and go for Zatanna, and then wait for the next DLC chars.

Tbh I'm also getting bored with her. It feels like I'm doing the same thing over and over and over, it's gonna drive me crazy probably.

Dang Boo, you just gotta get yo swag back :)!!! Would hate to lose ya. On the bright side, at least I'll be seeing most of you guys on Zatanna forums. We can build tech together, lol.

I know how it is lol, usually when I start playing very bad with a character I was good with, it's gonna stay that way for months. I won't even try to play her because I know I'm gonna be on a losing streak.

Right now I switched to Batgirl since I can at least win with her.

Boodendorf well i know how it feels... Jade was my main on MK9 but well.. I love so much Hawkgirl and i am not dropping her never in the world... Zatanna will be my secondary <3 Well i hope to see you in the Zatanna forums :(

I know the feeling. It just seems like HG is getting outshone by every dlc character, aside from lobo. Yeah, it's satisfying to get a win that you actually work for, but doing that time and time again, whereas a bunch of characters can just phone in their dial-a-combos and call it day, gets grating and leaves me feeling spent after a few matches.

You are not allowed to leave...I'll cry...
 
A bit of a random question but purposeful. Does anyone know how many frames are in a forward/backward jump and a neutral jump?

EDIT: For any character??? lol

Things got really quiet around here after MMH and Zatanna released.

How is everyone? I'm still playing Hawkgirl a lot, just working on Martian Manhunter on the side.


Anything I can do to help improve the forum? Feel free to let me know :).

That's a good question actually, I really wish I knew lol.

Sorry for being of no help, but didn't want it totally ignored.
 
Personally, I've been borderline burned out on IGAU. First, my bout of frustration playing HG, then I pick up a character I'd been hoping to be released for months (Zatanna) only to find out she's setup-based and yet another T-rex ranged normals character.

Not sure if this is known already and even if it is that it might be considered a gimmick, but in the corner if you do down 1 on block into wing evade 2 it removes the pushback on wing evade 2 so you get your plus four frame advantage and can actually put it to use instead of getting knocked so far back like you normally would interestingly enough.

Nothing ground breaking or crazy, but I thought that was something noteworthy. I tested it on Martian Manhunter in the right corner of Arkham Asylum Cell Block.

Well it seems like at least what I've gathered across the boards that a lot of characters seem to suffer from T-rex ranged normals in this game unfortunately. Zatanna range looks worse than Hawkgirl's and and a lot of other characters imo, but breaks from games always help if you feel burned out.


I've been labbing with Zatanna and trying to level up HG's bad MUs.

How are you liking Zatanna? Also, awesome hope you come up with some good strats :). I need to get back to studying some more of her match ups as well, looking at Cyborg and Ares cause I have such limited experience versus those characters.
