Do not understand the vitriol against Hakan

Well being oily is the worst feeling in the world imo…so I dont like Hakan. Is that a lame enough reason? Of course I dont use grapplers anyways.

And someone HAD to mention the roflcopter. God dammit capcom.

This. I have always felt SF is one of the most “cartoony”/goofy fighting game series, at least when it comes to character design (post SF2). And that’s not a bad thing.

Also, wrong forum.

I find all this Haken hate amusing, especially since no one batted an eye when Juri was announced. :razz:

EVery fighting game’s got their fair share of goofy characters. In SF4’s case, a goofy character was introduced alongside a cool character.

And last time I checked, there are a lot more cool characters than there are goofy characters in the roster. What’s one more going to do?

Enuff wit the conspiracy bullshit, there’s an SF4 section right here on this board where y’all can suck off that shitty game without commercial interruption. That’s where this discussion belongs, not here. If ya’ll like Hakan then more power to you. I think he’s just another shit pile of a character, agree to disagree.

Those characters are shit too.

i dislike hakan for his bad animation, that puts too much emphasis on him being some sort of joke character

he’s awesome - i like him, but hakan would be 10x cooler if they made him evil and didn’t accentuate how silly he is

No one here made a thread in FGD about how much they hated Hakan and really, only newer members have made threads recently about how much they hate SF4, but someone made a thread about how much they LOVE Hakan in FGD. I’d say it’s the opposite with someone saying how much they love a character and they pretty much came to the “wrong part of town” to flaunt that at. We didn’t go into SF4, SF4 came to US! :arazz:

None of this debate or anyone listening to the stupid OP is necessary. Dumb character designs, dumb game; all that needs to be said.

/thread.

I was more responding to the fact that his problem with was people who don’t like Hakan, when I’m a guy who doesn’t like him ;~;

Anyway I realize this is your happy place against the evils of SF4, so I’m sorry this guy posted in the wrong forum and you guys all responded.

I just watched the trailer to see what all the fuss was about. That was hilarious. See? I have a sense of humor.

Yes, you’re doing it right.

I don’t understand what’s the problem, I don’t play SF because there are cool characters I play it beacuse is a technical game…you must think I don’t play it because Chun Li is hot, is just a game and if someone don’t like it just don’t play it.

I can’t tell whether you have your rose-tinted nostalgia glasses on too tight, or if you’re just trying to suck up to SRK OGs.

Face it - some people love Hakan, and Hakan probably loves his fans as well (using the lube to help the process).

Yeah, in the appropriate SSF4 forum under the appropriate thread for Hakan.
And yes, you totally give a damn, or you wouldn’t have said shit.
If you really wanted to spur honest discussion, you’d have made a thread asking about the vitriol displayed, in general, when ANY new SF character is revealed.
Then this thread wouldn’t be garbage.

You’re an idiot. And learn how to consolidate replies in one post.

Dr. B : oil :: me : ejaculate

that there are more and more stupid looking sf coming into sf was a given, thats not even worth commenting bout. what i cant understand is how some of the supers and ultras have been made. a LOT of the supers and ultras are some of the dumbest shit ive ever seen. even if the old ultras looked like sooped up supers most of them looked good and made some sense. a lot of the new ultras and some supers got that comedy thing going for them, which is like the gayest shit ever. gayer than hakin rubbing oil on the gief.

^I agree 100%. Seems like all the characters ultras are meant to be goofy.

because comedy in games is never a good thing amiright? That’s why the characters in SF have no personality.

Holy Non-Sequitur Batman, can someone move this piece of shit thread to the proper trash heap.

They take longer now too it seems. I wonder if there will be more time-out wins this time since the new ultras take a whole 10 minutes to finish. I remember some people used to use ultra to run the clock out, now you can probably do that shit with 6-8, maybe more, seconds left on the clock.

The looney tunes sfx for hakan’s shit are so bad

BOINNNNG HONK HONK ARUGA

Besides Hakan’s moveset (natch), Dhalsim’s Yoga Shangri-La (which arguably suits his character) and the headlock part of Zangief’s new Ultra (ditto), I can’t really accuse the new Ultras of pandering to the funny bone. Heck, many are significantly less reliant on comic relief than the old ones (Rufus, Dan, El Fuerte, Seth, even Sakura).

The “opponent flying towards the camera” visual gimmick is IMO overused, though (Seth, Cody and now Hakan). OT, perhaps, but IMO Cody’s second Ultra should be a tackle into grounded beatdown into strangle-throw using his handcuffs, and his Final Destruction (Ultra I) should do the Alpha 3 18 hits instead of a measly 7-8 hits.
