T.Hawk is one of the coolest fighting game characters ever! Here is why
Ойындар
I love T.Hawk. He's one of my favourite characters in all of fighting games and this video exists basically to help spread the love of the character. I think he's one of the coolest characters ever and in this video I will show you why with some neat little tidbits of what he is capable of over the years. He's not been in every street fighter but he's in the ones that matter, and here's hoping that he makes an appearance in Street Fighter 6!
0:00 - Why T.Hawk is cool
2:21 - Why T.Hawk is cool in Street Fighter 2
7:23 - Why T.Hawk is cool in Street Fighter 4
10:55 - T.Hawk bless you

Long overdue on this video honestly. Time for me to spread the love of T.Hawk to everyone! I am known as a T.Hawk supporter and consider this a stealth way for me to cast a vote for T.Hawk for Street Fighter 6. He's big, he slams people around, for a lot of people that's enough to love a guy but i will also go into some of his cool bits of tech that make him super unique and unlike anyone else in Street Fighter. The tech shown for SF2 and SF4 is just a drip in a raging river but it should give you an idea on why I think T.Hawk is so cool! T.HAWK FOR STREET FIGHTER 6!!! *edit* also give a like on the vid for T.hawk, he deserves it :)

He has always been my favorite Street Fighter. When he first came out the command grab was called the Storm Hammer, not Mexican Typhoon.That name solidified him as my favorite grappler in the series. As much as I'm not that good when it comes to playing him, he is my main whenever he's available.

Also, since you mention my nationality seeing as the SF character T-Hawk is from there: May I please know what is your earliest memory and/or history with my country of Mexico or with Mexicans or with Mexican culture as far back as you can possibly remember as a child or teenager in your native country? In other words how did you first learn about Mexico, Mexicans and/or about Mexican culture growing up? Perhaps your very first knowledge of Mexico/Mexicans/Mexican culture first occurred in school, or from watching the television, a movie, listening to a song, or perhaps your parents or other family members or friends or others first introduced you to anything relating to Mexico, Mexicans and Mexican culture for the very first time in your life? Or perhaps your very first knowledge of Mexico first occurred in some other way? I'm just curious. I appreciate your honest responses. Thank you for your time my friend.

Things I've enjoyed about T-Hawk over the years in SF4 1- That one time I command grabbed an annoying Yun player (who was new at the time) for over 60% of his health into death. 2- His tournament representative in a player named Native Impact at the time who championed the character against some of the best 3-Landing those condor moves just short of the opponent to bait an attack and respond with a command grab. 4- This video. Ahh the memories of landing that super where you bounce them off the ground a few times before a final slam. Thanks for this.

You didnt convince me to be in the T Hawk army. I was in it since the start! Great video!
Mained T-Hawk in the SFIV days. Made it into the top 500 on X-Box. I’ve hung up my controller, but T. Hawk made for one of my greatest gameplay experiences ever.
wasnt super keen on giving super turbo a try until watching this video, my grappler bloods pumping again after seeing that really cool T.Hawk tech! Safe to say you've got a new member of the T.Hawk army! Keep up the good work dude!
If there's one reason I love coming back to your channel again and again, its your genuine love and passion for all the cool stuff in fighting games. More people need to be make videos that essentially boil down to, "Dude isn't this cool?" I mean thats why most people started playing games in the first place, it was cool, fun, and interesting! Learning all the tech and practicing your combos to win EVO next year, don't get me wrong that's fun too. Learning about things on a technical level is a huge part of what a lot of people enjoy about fighting games, but I just think there's room too for simply adoring the cool and fantastical side of these games as well. Between this and your last couple of videos on speculating Guilty Gear's future story, and giving a history and synopsis of some of the wackier fighting game characters ever, I just love the passion man and I look forward to more. Bring on the fanboying people!
T. Hawk improved grappling and air mobility in ways never seen before; Fei Long introduced rekka, creating an entirely new character trait; Dee Jay expanded upon the charge move concept, making way for future charge characters to come; Cammy expanded the way kicks work and can be used, improving combat mechanics and becoming one of the most recognisable Street Fighter characters to this day; To the New Challengers, everyone!🥂 And to all they did to the franchise, as well and the entire FGC.
I always liked T. Hawk and thought it was laughable that people just wrote him off as an offensive Native American stereotype (speaking as someone who has Native ancestry himself and was proud to see a halfway decent character from that culture) when his only stereotypical trait is a couple aspects of how he looks. These people better steer clear of Nightwolf then. Anyway.....he was my favorite character in SSFIV, I got a lot of BP just using him and tick throwing endlessly. People didn't know how to react to him. I was hoping maybe he'd be in SFV but he might not have worked so well with the way the game worked. I didn't use him too much in the SSF2 games, but I feared when my friend would pick him. I always liked his story too, especially in A3 and his relationship with Juli. He wasn't so good to play in that game (seriously, wtf is with that stupid Canyon Splitter super), but I still used him sometimes. If SF6 goes back to a more even style of play, I hope Hawk comes back.

I need to say thank you for giving me a lecture on this character, I always thought he was bland but I never knew he was a grapler, I never knew he was such an interesting character, but dude looking at all the stuff he represents, his options and origin man, he’s sooooo cool
Killer video and breakdown. I really appreciate maining him since 2011, he ingrained the reward of playing patiently while looking for the windows of opportunity via tight fireball and grab windows to initiate with a blend of reads and reactions. Lily's really cool too, I actually feel like they purposefully honed/desynced her more into the mobility side so that we could have both in the same game in the future, which would be awesome.

And to head this one off at the pass cause any T.Hawk discussion always seems to summon it. Yeah I know T.Hawk is more than a bit of a stereotype. However speaking as someone with Native American ancestry(and Ukrainian too! I am an odd mix) I think its fine. Not all stereotypes are harmful and SF2 specifically the majority of the cast are stereotypes cause that's just how the 90s was and there was never any malice intended. I do hope if T.Hawk ever comes back though they do something more with his Mexican heritage and give him a look more appropriate of Mexican indigenous peoples though. Play up his Mexican background! And also still have him be huge and slam around people smaller and weaker than him.

A specific group of people complain about stereotypes and that same group also complains about representation in media. If you are going to try and represent a whole population with 1 character, you will inevitably hit upon some stereotypes. If you don't, then you are likely not representing the people as well as you think you are. I am Puerto Rican 100%. My ancestry is Taino and Corsican. I live in Texas and play with a lot of Mexicans of native ancestry (native american, aztec, inca, and others) and pretty much all of them have a pocket T Hawk because they enjoy his design.

Greetings and salutations Mr. Sison, do you know what is the nationality of T-Hawk without looking it up now?
My SF4 main I remember terrorizing my friends with him online and winning my very first local with him among a sea of Sagat's and Ken's.
Once thought as a low tier character, O.thawk has become top tier thanks to technology and research/discovery!
T Hawk was my SFIV main, I got that he wasnt exactly strong but I enjoyed playing him, it was usually really intense trying to get up close and create your openings. So much fun to be had with the light spd! And his U2 was easily the most satisfying ultra to land in the entire game.

Hello and thank you for welcoming me. I agree.
I had SSF2 (non-Turbo) on the Genesis as my first fighting game. I was at the age where I didn't know any tech about anything and the most advanced thing I could do were QCF motions (hence I gravitated towards the charge characters). 360 motions for T. Hawk were never going to happen, but I do remember spamming the dive all the time. The computer opponent would almost always fall for it and T. Hawk was the first character I was able to clear arcade mode with.
Did you know jmcrofts STOLE your video?! Just kidding. Glad to watch both of your videos. I like how you brought up some of Hawk's SFIV shenanigans as well! (jmcrofts has never even played SFIV and doesn't even know there is a SF title past SFIII:2nd Impact) Great video(s)!

More T.Hawk videos the better
The animations for T Hawk's command grabs look sick and the dive is a neat move. My only gripe with T Hawk is that his voice sounds way higher than it should be in SFIV. I might give him a try along with Hugo tbh
I will never love T Hawk... =p

Your country may have invented martial arts, buy my country still has the best fighters in the world in real life. You're a hater.
I’m convinced
His chokeslam will always be dope💯💯💯
I know his grappler options were super nerfed in SF4O, but honestly he's so fun there, maybe more than Ultra.
