Yep, definitely. All of those things are really bad for bison too, when he's on the back foot. A defending dictator is usually a lot more of a pushover for all that stuff than an attacking one, and when i get cornered by someone that knows how to capitalize on a mistake and mix up effectively (tick 360 AND psychic rising hawks keeping me in the corner
), without me having a reversal super, i can literally put so much into trying to get out of a lockdown that by the time i do, my health is all but gone along with my chances of winning the round.
Word to the wise.If you're using bison, NEVER use your super versus a pro T.Hawk, unless it's GUARANTEED to win you the round. You never know when it might get your ass out of a certain death corner trap. One mistake or knockdown and hawk will be so far up your ass you'll be able to see the feather in his hair when you brush your teeth.
Build meter early and hold on to it like your life depends on it, because sooner or later it probably will.

Yeah we've had that matchup discussion before and i think that sounds about right, but your hawk versus my bison is about 8:2 when you're on form.
My personal win/loss on beating hawks is probably 9 to 1 or better, because he just isn't a popular enough character to run into enough good ones online, which is a shame, but that also means it's hard to get enough practice to get good at beating good ones when you do meet them, which is much more annoying...But yeah, if the 2 characters are being played correctly and to the limit of what they can do like the tier list whores say, then it's definitely moved down from 7-3 Hawk (Vanilla ST) to about 6-4 Hawk (HDR). It's one of those matches where 2 characters have had their matchup effected quite a bit due to all the nerfs and buffs that happened in the remix. Hawk's Dive nerf and bison's better DR and stand jab, and even sometimes his fake slide (if the hawk player is slow/dumb) make it a bit easier for Dic, but then you come along and fuck it all up again with your monster tick 720s and the like....

BTW, your ryu is a great match for me, last time i played you i didn't want to stop playing at all. I can play versus ryu all day long on XBL, it's like painting by numbers, but i love meeting a clever one who doesn't fall for all the the usual dictator BS. Would love another pop at you to see how you're developing him. Hit me up if you see me on HDR.
