From the front page:
Lol, I predict people are going to rush the shit out of Hakan from the beginning of the match. Hakan’s going to have a hard time to get that oil on…
ALSO
From the Dhalsim video, the first time Hakan player activates oil it lasts around 12-14 seconds, the second time he activates it (and gets clocked while starting up the oil) it lasts for roughly 8 seconds.
He sounds fun as hell to play. They should oil guile up
EX Oil Up will probably be super fast or might have invincibility around it to help him out.
I thought that at first, too. But check out the match against Sim. Sim knocks him out of the oiling up animation… but once he’s out of the hit animation, he’s oiled up anyway. Looks like that strategy might not work so well.
EDIT: Well, it’ll still work in the sense that if you’re oiling up and you’re right in front of them, they’ll probably punish you… but if you score an untechable knockdown, just oil up and get right back in their face with that 360 or slide or what-have-you.
I wonder if there’s any point to doing a short or forward Oil Shower? Unless it’s a faster activation, I don’t see anyone using those versions.
Yeah, I noticed that about Hakan getting knocked out of his oil animation…
Thing is, with most other characters, like Ryu and Ken, even if you do get to oil up while they’re rushing you down, you won’t even get a chance to use it since they’ll still be rushing your ass down out of your wake-up.
I agree with you about activating it after an untechable, though. Knowing when to oil up will be the same as knowing when to build Honda’s meter by whiffing Oicho throws.
**ALSO…
Did anyone notice that at 0:55 in the Dhalsim video it seems as if Hakan is about to land on a fireball, but performs and air normal (jumping short) which alters his hitbox and causes the fireball to whiff?**
Is there more footage from the stream?I didn’t even know when it was up:(
Best bet could be they have less animation time, but don’t last as long? I’m so hype. I keep watching the same vids and reading the same shit about Hakan. Riding that hype train first class.
Oh man.
Hakan is sounding more awesome by the minute.

Hakan vs Ibuki
Wrecking face in this one, but I guess it’s cause the Ibuki player didn’t know what they were doing =P
Yeah Hakan!! Get hyped?!!
Seriously though, WTF is all I could think when I saw that character. Looking forward to OTHERS beasting with him.
The WIz’s rundown just raised my hype level so much. So many mind games ready to go.
Whoa, at 2:12 Hakan did Oil Combination Hold right NEXT to Ibuki, and it connected. I’m wondering if there’s anyway to escape that setup? If not, then OCH can be used both as a grab and as an anti-air???
2:42 at the end of the video: what is that? Jumping fierce?! It looks very similar to Honda’s nj.fierce, except Hakan is doing it while jumping forward! Awesome…
Ultra 1 looks so fucking good.
Seriously.
Man, in that vs. Ibuki match, you really see how good Oil Combination Hold is. Anytime they touch him during that animation, they get shit out. People can’t whiff big air moves against him OR try any empty jump shit either. Might use OCH just for the deterrent factor.
[media=youtube]ua1vdsQWs-s[/media] Another Ibuki vs Hakan. Oil Coaster this time.
Yeah that ultra is starting to look pretty insane…
Not sure about 2:42, gets cut off so fast =/ EDIT: Ohhh :42 seconds into [media=youtube]ua1vdsQWs-s[/media]
Uhh 2:31 - was that an anti-air or does he have a duck under projectiles move like Blanka?
EDIT:
Wow in regards to [media=youtube]ua1vdsQWs-s[/media]
That was a level 1 ultra at the end of round one x_x Ibuki did have lower health in 3S, guessing it’s the same here…Round 2 oil coaster hardly dealt damage with focus attack
3:05 so he can still do the slide attack without oil, just doesn’t follow up with body splash
What looks to be a j. RH at 2:38 and j. Fierce at 2:48. Looks like good stuff. Except that it’s probably bad for him to be jumping around randomly.
Man, me and my friends made jokes about this guy all day…and everything came true…O_O <333
