Condor Dive

The Condor Dive, also known as Diving Hawk, is one of T. Hawk's special attack.

Description
Executeed by pressing all three punch buttons, T. Hawk dives diagonally from where the move was started towards the ground. This move can only be performed on the way UP during a jump. Once T. Hawk reaches the apex of his jump and starts coming down, the move cannot be performed.

Condor Dive is an extremely good move for punishing fireballs, and is good for closing distance after a mid-screen Typhoon. The move can also be done close to the ground to punish slow-recovering low attacks. Unfortunately, this move does not have great priority and can be punished easily if blocked by many characters, paticularly those with anti-air attacks.

Super Street Fighter IV
However, in Super Street Fighter IV, the move has armour breaking properties, making it hard for opponents to use Focus Attacks against him. The EX version introduced in the same game is somewhat unique, in that it can only be done immediately after executing an EX Tomahawk Buster. In Arcade Edition, it can also be done normally by pressing all three kicks instead of punches, but comboing after an EX Tomahawk Buster will stil require the usual three punches.
