T. Hawk
In a nutshell
T. Hawk is much less of a grappler in Omega with the loss of hard knockdown oki and a slower Mexican Typhoon. Instead, he gets much better conversions from his neutral buttons with easy combos into Condor Spire. His improved Condor Dive gives him a way to approach at different angles, leading to tricky crossups or whiffed dive into command grab (at the cost of losing its armor-break property). Earth Rage allows him to both zone and counter-zone effectively, which can force opponents to play at a close-mid range where T. Hawk is most effective. While most Omega characters require 3 bars to use a safe reversal option, T. Hawk kept his EX Tomahawk into EX Condor Dive, giving him a safe 2-bar escape.
Notable Changes from USF4 to Omega
- Throw: slightly shorter range
- Movement Changes:
- Walk speed: slightly slower (Forward: 0.0341 > 0.031)
- Forward Dash: 5f faster (23f > 18f)
- Back Dash: slightly longer distance
- Normal Move Changes:
- cl.5HP hits twice; has juggle potential and causes air knockdown
- cl.5MK hits twice
- cl.5HK hits twice, launches opponent into a juggle state
- 2MP has less range, but is now cancellable
- 2MK no longer cancellable
- 2HK both hits now connect instead of only one (also grants better knockdown advantage)
- j.MK is now a crossup; has 2 separate hitboxes making it very easy to land
- Command Normal Changes:
- Hunting Hawk (6HP) - New attack, 2-hit airborne overhead
- Special Move Changes:
- Condor Dive (air 236P) - new input and radically different effects
- Different angles: LP version goes almost straight down, MP/EX at 45 degree angle, HP straight forward
- No longer bounce off on block, making them safer
- No longer break armor
- Condor Rise (3K) - new move, command jump that flies straight up (can also preemptively anti-air)
- Can kara cancel prejump frames, or use air normals/Condor Dive
- Condor Spire (236K) - much faster, meterless versions are mutli-hit, knock down, and are more combo-friendly
- EX version launches for a juggle anywhere on the screen
- Earth Rage (214P) - new move, similar to C. Viper's Seismic Hammer
- Strength controls distance of ground pound, and EX version covers wide area
- Mexican Typhoon (360P) - all versions slowed down to 4f startup; more damage to compensate for loss of oki
- Thunder Bird (360PP) - costs 2 bars, has armor, does significantly more damage/stun
- Condor Dive (air 236P) - new input and radically different effects
- Super/Ultra Changes:
- Super does more damage

Useful Info
Reversals:
- Tomahawk ( / 623+P) - EX version can be safely cancelled into EX Condor Dive, while MP/HP versions can work meterless
- Thunder Bird ( / 360+PP) - Armor on startup
- Meterless versions of Mexican Typhoon can go through gaps in blockstrings, but much less likely to work in Omega due to 4f startup
- Super ( / 720+P) - Invincible, inescapable after flash
- Ultra 1 ( / 720+PPP) - Invincible, inescapable after flash
Anti-Airs:
- Tomahawk ( / 623+P) - LP version is fastest but has no invincibility, MP/EX are most reliable, HP is invincible but slow
- cl.5MP - reaches fairly high for a close range AA
- Thrust Peak ( / 3LP) - Weak but consistent AA jab, can work even against crossups
- Ultra 2 ( / 63214,63214+PPP) - Good damage, but has a fairly shallow trajectory that makes it difficult to use against close jumps
- far.5HK - slow, but works well against long range neutral jumps
- 2MK - can low profile some jump attacks
- Condor Rise ( / KKK) - Slow and only hits straight above; allows juggle into Condor Dive or air normals, and can juggle after a trade
Anti-Focus:
- Condor Spire (
/ 236+K) - Fast armor breaker - EX Earth Rage ( / 214+PP) - Multiple hits to break armor
- cl.5MK / cl.5HP / cl.5HK / 2HP / 6HP - all 2-hit normals that can break focus from close range
- Since Omega characters do not have invincibility on focus backdash, it is unlikely that they can escape between hits
- 2MP xx Mexican Typhoon (xx) - Cancelling into a command grab works from fairly long range
Anti-Projectile:
- Condor Dive (Air / Air 236+P) - Can use on reaction if a projectile is thrown while neutral jumping
- Earth Rage ( / 214+P) - If used preemptively (or on reaction at long range), will trade in T. Hawk's favor
Juggles:
- EX Condor Spire is a consistent juggle starter
- Can juggle with another Condor Spire, cl.5HP, MP/EX Tomahawk
- Tomahawk (high-connect anti-air) allows followup juggles
- If you juggle EX Condor Spire, it still retains more juggle potential
- cl.5HK launches for a juggle, useful in punishes
- Earth Rage (ground pound) can juggle if close enough (far.5HK or LK/EX Condor Spire midscreen, anything in the corner)
Miscellaneous:
- 2LK does not have the usual buffer afterward, so the link into cl.5LP is a true 1f link
- cl.5MP > cl.5MP can work on some characters
- LP Mexican Typhoon can set up a meaty MK Condor Spire (safe on block) or whiffed LK Condor Spire into another command grab
