*Hakan - Seems OK at first. Looks like hellboy red and is kinda fat. Has spiky hair. Has a 360 move where he puts you in his arms and sqeezes you out with oil slicked body. you fly across the screen at a 45 degree angle. He can slide along the ground face first and hit punch during for a followup (only when oiled up). Has an air grab where he belly flops. DP+K puts on more oil.
He takes out both hands and dumps oil on himself and it looks funny. He then glows white. When he has oil, he is 200% better. putting oil on takes half a second, and its duration based. EX oil lasts a long time. In non-oil mode, he is like gief. When he is in Oil Mode, he can chain everything, like c.lk x4 into mp. Moves in oil mode have more range, including 360. Front and backdash are better in oil mode too. All of his pokes have neutral and toward versions. Has a ‘trap’ ultra, where he lays down, and if you step on him, he grabs you. You cannot touch him at all, even if not attacking. You slip on his stomach like its ice. Then he 69s you as you slide along the ground and you fly out his buttocks.
The 2nd ultra is comedy as well. 720 motion, throws you up in the air and you board the OIL COASTER. You ride him going around his body till you are ejected into a wall at the end.
His super is double fireball with kick. Its a leaping grab thats crouchable, like Alex DDT he leaps at you.*
See previous page. Also, c.lkx4 -> mp sounds fantastic. Nothing wrong with having a decent blockstring. But you’ll be wanting to throw them if you’re all oiled up.
Against opponents that are likely to box with Hakan, I’d probably prefer OCH. Against someone I’ll have to chase down and mix-up, I’'ll probably go with the Coaster.
Originally I thought his command grab throwing them across the screen was bad, but I think its better that way. This way it gives him time to oil up and man, he improves so much when oily based on those videos vs Ibuki. He seems to be able to slide when not oily but he slides much further when he is.
In the first vid at 1:17, I love that his grab shoots him forward a bit. So awesome. And 1:32? Looks like he’s dangerous if you whiff something during a footsie match.
Has a ‘trap’ ultra, where he lays down, and if you step on him, he grabs you. You cannot touch him at all, even if not attacking.
That’s one of the best Ultras of the game for sure, because it seems that recovery frames doesn’t matter at all, just by touching the opponent it activates.
yeah, really! In one of the vs Ibuki, he just activates it standing next to her and she gets hit. You can probably jump it… but if not… It makes his 720 redundant.
I’m amused that most people are “I love Hakan, shut up all haters” while I don’t see that many people hating on him as they say. Trying to self-convince themselves not to hate him, maybe?
I doubt it. He doesn’t look like he has anything super abuseable. He has slide to close in, but I doubt you’ll be able to spam that randomly. Oiling up at the wrong time/place will probably have you eating a bnb or worse. The leaping grab does look frightening, but I’m wondering if a jab on reaction will stuff it. Most grapplers don’t do well in the hands of scrubs.
