Just wanted to plug Rooflemonger's video one more time, please watch that one too! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qMWTpbmdpqu3gnU.html

All T.Hawk videos are welcome. All FGC content creators should make their own T.Hawk video or be expelled from the FGC. The T.Hawkalypse has begun

I always thought it was weird that they made Tony Hawk's command grab a 360 instead of a 900.

Bruh, I used to main T.Hawk in every street fighter he was in, and my cousins and friends HATED me - calling me a cheater and whatnot. I seriously thought he was awful at first just because I didn't know what a "grappler" was when I was a kid, but I was dedicated to learn all his moves cuz he was the only Mexican Street Fighter character at the time. Once I learned all his busted shit, I went ham and essentially got him banned in my own household.

I hate this character...

I really like how T-Hawk helps balance the planet with his stance. Thank you, T-Hawk. The unsung hero.

Thawk in the hands of the CPU was supercheap. Also, grabbing a person's head and spinning his or her body around by the neck is instant murder.

Claw's thin hurtbox makes him tricky for some non-grapplers, too. Trying to land Dictator's big combos on him is hard for the same reason.

Always hated playing against T.Hawk. The hardest character to counter, ever.

I barely played Turbo, but T.Hawk was my favorite casual character just on account of giant legs and awesome stage music.

I've always liked T.Hawk to me he's one of the more underrated Street Fighter characters. We need more fighters from Mexico.

I never knew there were two versions of everyone in ST. That's pretty neat.

So T Hawk and Zangief are both "grapplers" but play so completely different. Could you do a video on the nuances of different grappler playstyles?

Now I wish we lived in an alternative reality where T.Hawk actually ended up in The Movie The Game. (Sadly, his actor bailed on it on the day of filming... which was probably smart)

That Barlrog wasn't bad at all. Whoever it was playing him definitely knows how to make Vega look like Vega.

I loved ST Saturdays! I saw that O.Hawk tech video as well and it blew my mind that this character was so powerful in the right hands. I'm surprised you didn't mention T.Hawk's command grab/DP OS. That one is nuts too. Damdai is a legend! Nice video here as well. I definitely learned at least a few things I didn't already know.

After this, you should look at Daimon from Kof series. Believe me... he is really a force to be reckoned with.

I always *loved* T.Hawk. I remember the overriding sentiment at launch of Super in 1993 in my arcades and in the magazines and guides I read was that he was a bad character and useless in a fight. I wasn’t having any of that. Zangief was one of my strongest characters though... but regardless, just look at what we know decades later...Shows what they knew!

dang its always a good day when Jmcrofts uploads an analysis of older FG characters! Keep up the content, I am always here to like and comment. Hopefully you can get more traffic since coming back from vacation!

This is the content I subbed for! Informative videos about games that teach me strange little nuances of characters. Like the one about the Dee Jay - Honda match, where you taught loaded oicho, even though I'll never play SFII that video lives in my head rent free.

That Claw player has definitely seen his fair share of cheap T.Hawks

Love the content. I want more super turbo character focused ones like this. I learn something new every time.

Great vid, the fact that you apply the knowledge in real matches make yours videos quite fun

Literally watched the Rooflemonger video yesterday lol Glad to see all this great content!

I didn't remember about this for T.Hawk in SSFII. I remember that thing about not having the empty grab happens in the first SFII and the first SF EX for Zangief, if you miss a SPD you got a punch, but it was corrected. I thought taht was the case for T.Hawk too, I guess I remember him doing an empty grab from Alpha or something.

Really enjoyed ur video and how you break down the mechanics of a game that was made over 2 decades ago. Brings a fresh light to why street fighter is such a legendary classic

Hi! Just wanted to say i subscribed immediately. First time i watched your channel. Love the enthusiasm, respectful attitude towards opponents and cheerful disposition.

Classy move shouting out Roof’s video. Good stuff, JM. Love the content

Super glad you linked the Rooflemonger vid. I saw it on my feed scrolling, but I was looking for something. I saw yours and thought it was the same video

A really good Vega/Balrog player is tough to counter with a grappler.

I'm very happy too see my boy T. Hawk getting some love lately

I might be wrong, but I think most characters in SF2 have about 2-4 moves, but Vega has like 8. He truly has a move for any occasion.

I watched both your and Rooflemonger's video and both are great!

That honesty deserves a like. Most content creators nowadays barely even cite their reference vids. You on the other hand, were honest. Great job.

Dude if you have a video, I always watch over someone elses. Your videos are always super interesting and you have a fantastic attitude! Much love brother! T. Hawk is one of my favorite characters. I think he's really fun, and I actually decided to use him instead of Guile because in part of this video and in part due to his love of nature and great personality. Thanks for another awesome upload!

Glad you still posted the video and I think it's even cooler that you mentioned it. This is the ideal turn of events! Hell yes!

By the way, it was Sako who pioneered T. Hawk's tick technique.

Fantasy Strike’s Midori’s Honor Stance is loosely based on this option select as well. Specifically Honda’s version, but it’s the same general idea as Hawk’s version

My first FG was DBFZ. My main team was Basegeta, Gotenks, and Trunks. I've since learned that team prepared me for a LOT without knowing. I learned stricter combo timing and shortcuts for Basegeta loops, learned Negative Edge for Gotenks ghosts, and I learned how to tiger knee consistently and combo route with Trunks.

I think these types of videos are super cool. I would love to see more

Me and my cousins in 1993: Barlog lol jmcrofts in 2022: Barlog lol The classics never go out of style.

I would love to see you cover more ST characters! My vote is for Dictator!

Nice vid I used to play with T.Hawk back in the day and this vid reminded me why dang now I'm itching to play

I'm glad you mentioned that grabs cannot be jumped out of in your video as opposed to rooflemonger's. Your video covers thawk in ST a lot more in depth than his video. I'm glad you pointed out the differences with o hawk vs n hawk as well. Just a note, Zangief could always negative edge SPD up until Super Street Fighter 2 when Thawk came along. Gief's sako ticks were a lot more deadly in earlier SF2 as he had way more range and also a lot safer tick setups. And one final note, yes o hawk is infinitely better than n hawk, HOWEVER, I would argue any true hawk player plays n hawk because of 1 factor, the 720. There's no reason to play hawk unless it's to land that 720. That is pretty much the ONLY reason why someone would want to play thawk. It's not about the damage. It's about style. Nothing more satisfying that doing a walk up 720 with Thawk. Keep churning that butter my friends!

I got matched up against a T. Hawk on fightcade and I haven’t played ST since lol Btw would love to see a video on ST Chun!

T. Hawk also had one of the best musical themes in the game

Super turbo content for days, yes please.

I used to love super turbo Saturdays. I remember this episode too, it's when the tech was first discovered.

I actually watched the roofle video the day it came out, and was also interested in your video, you're both good content creators,it won't be bad even if both of you made part 2 on this subject hhhhh.

Cool analysis- had no idea his old version was so different!

You didn't mention the DP install off the safe jump in the corner. Basically T. Hawk can input a DP with that safe jump LP and get an option select jab uppercut if the opponent reversal there. If basically anyone reversals there they get beat by Hawk's DP and he gets a free safe jump again.

Never thought of t.hawk as a good character very cool vid! Maybe do some other lesser used characters. Would love to see deejay used at a high level

Man I remember when you first spread the Old Hawk gospel to us in college lol. I had no clue how good he was before you rolled us over with him at club! Awesome video

ST Honda also has no whiff animation for his command grab, so he can use the same tick throw OS. It was usually done out of his cr. jab if I recall correctly.

It's OK dude people can have the same ideal There's bound to be overlapping especially on KZfaq

Loved the video. Wouldn't mind getting some Bison, Balrog, and Sagat.

A video on how busted Vega/Claw is in this game would be cool. Also, could you touch on some of the differences between the 2 versions of him too?

Big shoutout to Super Turbo Saturdays and my man Damdai! Love those videos

Nice vid. Was chuckling with you.

Yo! I was the Claw player, tbh I saw your name on fightcade and figured someone was just using your name lmao, Your T. Hawk's def good as hell

I love your content u make me love fighting games so much more

I've been looking for T. Hawk videos! I remembered him being a pain to fight.

Seb was chill guy. I remember him showing up to a lot of events back in the day.

I was JUST about to mention it's funny that Rooflemonger just made a T Hawk video too, and then you mentioned it, lol.

I literally had your video and rooflemonger's on my watch later list on top of each other lmaoooo

Great vid. More ST!

Please keep the the ST content coming! Im really curious about the tier list now that the game has been out for so long. I heard Ryu is top tier in this game.

I love your vids dude,ive been playing street fighter heavy for years an thats educational even tho I don't play Hawk,I play Bison lol.

Man I missed super turbo Saturday's. Really wished that series continued

All good man, I'm completely believe you and you acknowledging him just makes it better. I already watch rooflemonger's video, just laugh when I saw your video up 🤣🤣🤣

I remember him having a TOD cross-up. It was so satisfying to land.

Omg i have not heard Vega yodel in like over 20 years, what a trip you sent me on just now. Thank you

@jmcrofts, how do you keep such a fun, carefree attitude when playing? Do you have a video on beating the salt or tips about one's attitude? Regardless, good stuff cannot wait to see what all comes out this year!

Big respect to you acknowledging the other video, even if it was a coincidence. Great job!

Don't forget about E.Honda's stored Oochio Throw in ST 😜

Do a video on T.Hawk from SF4. Id love to see an indepth analysis.

E. Honda has the same negative edge ability. He actually got to keep it in HDR

Wow, never tought this could be such an fierce character to play with, even with me being horrible with grappel fighters!

my dad always loved playing him but he never knew about 360 or dp inputs so he just spams condor dive, it used to be tricky for me to beat when i was little till i figured out how to anti air later on

T. Hawk was my favorite by far when he was first introduced when I was a young unsespecting lad. Now I understand why I felt so strong with him. It was sadly not only because my skills...

Ooooh I actually thought I already watched your vid but it was actually Roof’s video 😂

T Hawk’s super in ST gets ludicrous range. MUCH farther then his regular Typhon. And since you can’t miss with it, you can just spam it constantly until they happen to be in range.

More content like this with OG stuff please bro \o/

Heh... I was getting a lot of deja vu getting this video recommended to me lately. "Wait, didn't I already see something like this...?" And it was, indeed, the esteemed Rooflemonger one. I'll gladly vouch for ya given the chance, but it can't hurt to have more than one video covering the intricacies of a character. More notes and video samples to keep in mind, surely.

Say what you want Zangief still gives me nightmares with those grappling moves taking half of my life

You just actually broke my brain. This whole time I thought both of you were rooflemonger!!! WHO THE HELL IS THE JMCROFTS IMPOSTER? HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN HAPPENING?????? Here I was, wondering why you made two back-to-back T Hawk videos...

Watching jm go red during the disclaimer was priceless.

great video, love me some super turbo content.

The final part of that video - conclusive proof that T. Hawk is still T.Hawk.

Dumb question but what app or platform do you use to play online matches?

Jim - After watching your videos for some time, I finally decided to click the subscribe button. Thank you for the videos.

Learning from your videos is like realizing there's a doctorate degree on fighting games. My only question is: if T-Hawk creates such inescapable situations, why he's nearly never seen in championships?

reasons like this is why special moves do not need to be 1 button. The more damaging and effective the special move, the more complex it should be. The reward is a lot of damage for dedication.

This reminds me of KOF97, a lot of the characters there have grapple that do not animate if the enemy is not near.

Just getting into fighting games seriously as I am building my first fight stick this month. Can you do something like this, with an explanation and some fights for examples for Darkstalkers?

the thawk stars have aligned everyone on the thawk wavelength

Love this please more super turbo!!!!

i saw sf4 tournament footage of a guy dashing repeatedly and landing SPD and it worked nearly 100% of the time with T.Hawk i will play him in every game i can from now on

You should do fei long, I feel like I’ve never seen a video on him but I think he’s a cool character

I'd like to see some ST Deejay action. I'd love to learn the machine gun upper touch of death combo.
