I don't feel that way since H2H Iconic Faber's (L) Standup is the very difficult to land Power Hook. In my experience that move just doesn't like to find it's target. Their ground games are similar, though I like that the H2H Iconic has a submission from the bottom. On the other hand Iconic Faber has all High Throws and his 24k Power Backfist is as easy to land as the Power Hook is difficult.

Curious to hear your reasoning though, and/or if you know something I don't about how to land the Power Hook *reliably*.

-GBL 11 (Not yet registered an account on this forum) Well h2h IC Faber is better because he has a higher damaging (L)takedown and as for submission goes all that matter is they are over 40k.

The power hook is one of the abilities that requires a combo or a technical way to land it and it requires a good reach, the way I land it with h2h MacDonald is different from that of Liddel,Griffin,Miesha,Penn etc I can't just give a general way to land the Power Hook as it is mostly unique to different fighters but it is easier with HW seeing that they are tall and mostly have good reach.

Tip: U need some distance to perfectly land the Power Hook n some of these might work bt remember there is always a unique way for every fighter, I am yet to train my Faber to tell u which works perfectly for him but try:

Dodge + Power Hook

Dodge + Face Hook + Jab + P Hook

Dodge + Face Jab + Body Jab + P Hook

Dodge + Body Hook + Face Hook + Superman Punch + P Hook etc

You have to remember that the legendary Power Hook is part of the abilities that can be exeuted twice with a quick double tap so always do the double tap to hit it twice. With h2h Griffin I normally successfully land the Power Hook twice in a row using the double tap
