SSF2T - X-Mania IV - T. Hawk vs Ryu

[ukyo]

Always nice to see Ryu getting owned by the best character in the series.

[Tampanda]

lol that last throw he just walked over there and grabbed him.

[mwstudios11]

spot on!

[SeoulMan]

"You must defeat Mexican Typhoon to stand a chance!"

[nlmeza]

<3 T Hawk. Viva Mexico !!!! Oh and 720's !!!!!

[SPS148669]

HAIR vs HAIR, match! since Native Americans and Asians have the same shiny black hairs on their heads.

[devilxhlywood]

@SPS148669

it is believed that natives of the americas immigrated from asia.

[xPegasusSeiya]

@devilxhlywood How do you know Asians didn't immigrate from America to Asia?

[devilxhlywood]

@xPegasusSeiya humans all originated in africa. you can trace all migration patterns from there. there was no migration from africa to america, they did not have the technology to sail across the atlantic.

[xPegasusSeiya]

@devilxhlywood That's only a theory, we all believe in some sort of way how people came to be. FYI it was discovered that Africa had the oldest skeleton on earth there.

[mrgingles]

lol a stand t hawk super.. that guy must be a alien or a xmen

[taijutsu36]

Can someone please explain how Ryu does a Shakunetsu in SF2 please? I am a major noob when its anything but SFIV plz halp

[cwalkinPT]

@taijutsu36 Half circle forward + punch , instead of quarter circle forward + punch for the regular hadoken.

[devilxhlywood]

why did they give thawk a voice in s.street fighter 4, the only sound he needs to make is MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm­mmmmmmmmm

[AWDfreak]

@devilxhlywood Agreed. His voice in SSFIV is a joke. The one in SFII is perfect!

[pe1ofin0]

to be a good t.hawk player you need 3 things the first is patient. the number one couse of loosing against a shoto charracter or a defensive charracter like guile is because most people act careless and without patient. second is Footsies which will help get closer or pressure opponents. and third one needs to know hawk's arcenal of set ups for the typhoon and combos tha is all

[dannyVulture]

HhhhmmmmmmmMMMMMM! ! !

[oskiH]

Nice walk up at the end to finish it off

[fenris91]

T. Hawk's good and he's strong too. (You're blind if you can't see all the freaking DAMAGE he did!!)

A lot of the "grappler type" players have found a way around projectiles and their own slowness and size. I mean look at Hugo from SF III. There's plenty of great vids with this style of fighting.

[EricV1]

damn..maybe Hawk isn't so weak after all...

[sidechainthreats]

@EricV1 Hawk was never weak

[rekenner]

Totally why he's considered one of the lowest tier characters in the game, right?

Totally not weak. He has horrible normals, low priority... and a throw trap. His throw trap is all that makes him usable.

[EricV1]

Well, he always seemed like a generic wrestler type, someone who just comes up and grabs you and slam dunks you into the pavement, though he's quite faster than Zangief.

[jeffhizzle]

Yeah but O.Hawk is alot better due to awesome normals and iirc better jab 360 range, I'd trade up that super for better normals anyday.

[rekenner]

O. Hawk's still not *good*

[jeffhizzle]

Some japs think he is A-tier so yeah, goes down to opinion.

[rekenner]

Given his universally low placement on ... every tier list, including Japanese ones, I'd say anyone that puts him at a high tier is wrong.

[sidechainthreats]

@rekenner oh, so a super that does over 50% health is weak then.

[rekenner]

... when the rest of the character is trash?

...

Yes. I mean, duh?

[rekenner]

No, no. He's weak.

[devilxhlywood]

walk past a whiff ducking strong, 360. standing jab, standing 720 a;lskdfjasdf

[jerichompm]

Crunch time.

[sojirokaidoh2]

Haha when the third round started with like 20 seconds left in the video, it became obvvious that T. Hawk was gonna slam Ryu's ass home with a Mexican Typhoon

[dagga70]

vega: (high pitched)HMMMMMMMMM!

t.hawk:(low pitched)HMMMMMMMMM!

[DEVILDOG502]

Tony Hawk

[skinner49]

HMMMMMMMMM!

[oweawry]

holy fucking SHIT T. Hawk

[agaifi]

HHHMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!

[skinner49]

T-Hawk Wins!

[aaaaaaaaooooooo]

awesome play

[togurotheman]

nice finish. its like the guy in the first round was someone else.

[Magnetronous]

Wow, what a great T. Hawk. I hope they put him and Dee Jay in SF4.

[xjango]

nice prediction lol

[linkmasta777]

Wish granted... Although it's SSF4.

[sergio311]

SSF4 !!!

[CodyRockLee13]

I agree with SmithChris. What a comeback... That was a VERY amazing move by that T. Hawk player. Amazing...

[Hacker5g6]

why didnt they put t hawk in street fighters 4

[DonkeyFist]

They did, his character model is on the disc and so is artwork for him, they just never finished him (and DJ).

[Hacker5g6]

that sucks

[plusquamverbis]

no wonder lazy bastards

[onlyfornintendo]

those chars are coming in a few months as download content

[pratikh]

I don't know who to cheer for, Mr. Fireball(hadoken hadoken hadoken) or Chief Stereotype(I want my land back).

I'd rather play with Ken or Balrog.

[DirEnGay]

Oh because Ken Mr. Fireball (Hadoken Heavy Shoryuken Hadoken) or Black guy Stereotype (I'm black so obviously I can only be a Boxer).

I'd rather pick random and not make pointless accusations into which my characters of choice also fit into.

[taihendesuu]

1:57 how can t.hawk just walk and grab with 360 move?

[DonkeyFist]

You have to start the 360 (it's actually 270) joystick command facing forward or backward and end it facing up, once you hit up on the joystick you have only 3/60 of a second to input a punch command or else T.Hawk will jump....it's VERY tough to get this consistently.

Walk up throws with T.Hawk can only be done in three frames, very difficult timing. Zangief's is 5 frames which isn't that much easier as well.

[SmithChris]

The end of round 2 is the most pro thing I have ever seen in my life and that is no lie.

[doptasticKfresh]

Your life must be short and lame in comparison

[YuenYun]

that was pretty sweet. it's harder to buffer moves in this game than sf3 in my opinion, which is usually what i play, since sf2 moves at a different pace

[ovkenike]

I always feel so dumb and slow, when a T Hawk player actually gets the walk-up-throw.

[TheHolySongster]

What did I just see Ryu do at 0:05???

[Xearodeath]

hurricane kick

[TheHolySongster]

No I saw the hurricane Kick...after that tho'

I thought I saw him like........slide!!!??

[Xearodeath]

maybe its a glitch

[ovkenike]

You saw a slide....that's just a regular move.

[axiomprime]

=> s.HP is a dash punch and introduced 1st in this version of SF2 (ST); this is before characters could dash.

Probably has it in the new HDr and SF4 too.

[donmamamama]

T.hawk is the best

[drunkdragon12888]

1:37

game over

[estproductions666]

the Ryu player got rattled in round 3

[phildisma]

I have to wonder about T. Hawk's repeated 360s; I doubt EVERY 360 is timed so tight you can't just jump out the way. I think a lot of players just screw themselves cuz they're so busy trying to reverse.

[moocus]

you'll get caught every time trying to jump away, even is the spd motion is a little late. you can get grabbed during your jump frames before you completely leave the ground, leaving pretty big room for error on the grappler's part. if they completely suck i guess trying to jump away is a good tactic...

[vafanculo8]

yea sirimico you are the only one, hes not even mexican hes just fighting out of mexico bcuz the designers couldnt put the u.s.a bcuz guile was from there so they just put mexico plus hes huge the only mexicans ive seen are little short ones who mow my lawn hahahaha

[resepsy]

No, he's really born in México, in Guadalajara. In an Apache Town.

[KroKaDiLe]

lol T. hawk is from Mexico, dont be so biased.

If T. Hawk was from the USA, it would make no difference anyway, since he is native/indigenous to the continent. So yes, he is Mexican.

[ZhangHe2369]

Technically. Its like the difference between a Native American in the U.S.A. And a Native American in Mexico. T. Hawk happens to be in the later category.

[dderoma]

Yup, he's a flaming homosexual. With a small amount of technical skill you can win in a relatively small amount of moves.

[Sirimico]

am i the only one that think T.Hawk is cool becuase hes mexican?????????

[resepsy]

We are 2 now

[Xearodeath]

3 now

[ovkenike]

he cool cause he wear a feather in his hat like yankedoodledande motherfucka!

[dderoma]

T-Hawk is so gay... Ryu has to land 3x more hits in order to win, where as T-Hawk can win in only 2 cyclone throws...

[ReflectionEternal2]

Where as Ryu has a god priority uppercut and fireballs, while T Hawk is a large, slow moving character that requires standing 360s or perfectly timed jumps to actually do those moves, not to mention he has to be in close proximity too. But yeah...he is so gay isn't he?

[EminoMeneko]

OWNED ! =D

There are no Gay chars just gay way of thinking and gay player skills !

[itzquiffer]

T-Hawk is sexy!! You know he has a big dick with those tight jeans on...

[CCCPSoviet1917]

God I hope your a female....

[sr4free]

I'm totally hard now.

[FungusFromUliJonRoth]

Once he closes the distance...it's over.

[mandukid]

crazy hawk skills

[spiderguy46]

who is the worst character in this game?

[necromancerduo]

cammy

[Matt2779]

There is no worse character in the game it depends on the players skill. I like to use T.Hawk too! I don't know if I could beat that guy but I would provide a decent challenge.

[Piisuke]

Typical answer of people that obviously have no experience at tournaments.

Anyway, T Hawk is considered bottom tier. Doesn't mean he cannot be dangerous though.

[FiascosFreshness]

Damn T-hawk blocks a lot ..

[Evilkfmdude]

Nice ^^

[mchammer132000]

the t hawk player is toutanki, probably the best t hawk around. he is the master of utilizing the tick throw trap. when watching him play you tend to forget that tier wise speaking, t hawk is the worst player in the game. but he is not the only one. K and yuubou (i think its spelled right) also play good hawks.

[BDlu3]

the computer on a harder then average difficulty makes this guy harder then sagat...imo...:S

[CCCPSoviet1917]

Inomata blows all three of those out of the water. Mayakon is also an excellent Hawk player. Oh yeah, Yuubou is more of a fei-long player then a T-hawk player.

[Magnetronous]

This guy is the only one I've seen able to use T.Hawk properly.

[SaMuRaiCHiCo]

That was my first time watching T. Hawk fight, and I have to say, why isn't this guy in more games? He seems like a pretty awesome fighter with great skill, and devastating super moves. I mean, he took down Ryu for god sakes!

[DrummerFromColdplay]

Hawk IS awesome. Sadly it usually takes an ace Hawk player at contest level to take down a semi-decent Ryu player.

Hawk is quite off-putting for most people (style, size, tough projectile game). It's a shame so many would rather use the predictable Ryu/Ken/Akuma choice, but much of this is because they're great all-rounders, & all their moves are a cinch to perform compared to Hawk.

But that makes it all the more satisfying when a player like Toutanki plays like this. Virtuoso performance.

[namordecai]

Nice T. Hawk technique.

[LightRoll]

He was a bit weak in the first round.

[derekmok]

Well played on both sides. A T. Hawk that can last that long against a good Ryu player got to have that respect.

[zanarkandpr]

wow that hawk character does crazy amount of dmg. I dont know much about street fighter.
